Yeah it looks close enough I think. The benefit of using 1:35 is the huge variety of figures available; I'll probably pick up some British infantry next week and sculpt me a Fett....any suggestions for better base figures?

Started up on the guns, I printed out a scaled photo of the studio model's guns and worked from those
This assembly is the flak 38 part, 5mm aluminium tubing and the stick of a Q tip
To get the conical duster tips I used these parts from what I think was a 1:20 model car... do model cars come in that scale? I have no idea. They look cool and that's the point
Added some wheels and stuff. I'm going to build the curved body out of milliput and styrene
Little bit messy at the moment, needs some light sanding really. Not looking forward to making another one to be honest haha

Well, it's just another one and not 10 of the same...You could always mold what you have now and make it cleaner
Unfortunately not, the guns are mirrored

I agree that the 1/48 figures appear closer in size.
Regardless, this has been great fun to read through!

One of my custom-friends did a Hasbro Slave One conversion last year - maybe this will help a bit ;-)

I like that..looks really good! Any more info on that mount/stand??
Unfortunately It bugs me to no end the size comparison of the actual ship vs the figure. I was going to tint my lense actually and maybe place a few lights behind it for effect with no visible Boba.
