Just wanted to share a couple of updated photos of where the HH resides. I made the base so I can easily switch it out with my Korbanth Blockade Runner also.

Awesome piece of art, mate
Now you need to add a section of the SD's sidewall and some sparkeffects

Wish BANDAI would come up with one, and if it would only be the size of their tiny Blockade Runner

I've been seriously missing the RPF, and build threads specifically. With all that's been going on in the world, I've had an abundance of time
and wanted to try my hand at scratch building something. I've built a Y-Wing from the ground up, but with the help of digital files and DaveG's parts. I've been really liking the Rogue One Hammerhead and was initially satisfied to wait for Randy Cooper to come out with his. I decided I wanted a bigger version and thought why not! I don't have easy access to a 3D printer, so I'm approaching this old school style.

The Lightmaker from Rogue One has limited reference, but there are a lot of 3D renderings out there to compare. I'm staying away from the cartoon design, which is chunky and less detailed. The film asset is much more slender and has more engine, extensions, and detail. I came across this video from TROS that gives the actual dimensions.
At 34 seconds there is a computer shot of the ships size of 380.57' (116 m) Here is the link to the video:

Like the Blockade Runner, the Hammerhead is built off cylindrical telescoping tubes. I started with the widest pipe being 3" and scaled it in photoshop. I was left with my ship being 36" 1/127 scale. It's really rough right now, but here's where I'm at.

Just found this thread in featured posts. Looking awesome so far.
How did you do that black pvc pipe diameter transition in the 4th image from top?

The stand looks clean! Do you have any more photos of it that you can share?

Nice work! Great build. I'm realizing how much I really like this ship design!

This build is inspiring. Looking at your work and the reference image made me recall my summer 2016...
I was a finalist in 3 grueling months of the 3 stages of ILM Star Wars Design Challenge.

When I saw the film I wondered if one of my story moment concept sketches may have helped inspire the Hammerhead ram scene. Maybe, maybe not, but another of my designs got the ILM favorite stamp and showed up in another show, so maybe.

This Hammerhead Corvette is so rad and Rogue One's my fav of all the SW films since George sold it. John and Gareth did it proper.
