Model makers, I've been wanting to build a model of my HT421 Hover Tank I designed nearly a decade ago. I may have time to start a build this summer and want to see if any of you awesome Star Wars replica model makers may be interested in helping me develop this hover tank concept into a detailed & well defined scale model?
I'm inspired by the amazing SW replica work on here & all the ILM models but I'm more a concept modeler and like building models of my designs. It'd be fun to work on a team build again, it's been awhile. Here's what I'm thinking:
A. I can production design / art direct: generate concept art, sketches, drawings, 3D models, scale blueprints and patterns of the core structure, along with team input. Plus maintain the overall build files and ensure everyone has the info they need to build on. It could be fun to have additional makers on a team like:
B. A lead model maker with lots of SW replica build experience who can ensure we build with best practices to the highest standards, help work out detailing and assist with managing the overall build team coordination.
C. A few sub-assembly modelers who can focus on specific areas of the model; build on the general concept, perhaps utilize existing kits and help finalize the actual model part designs. For instance C1: A "Wing Section" model-maker and C2: A Rear Engine Area model-maker.
D. An Armament modeler to handle the details of the 4 Guns; how to make them awesome and best incorporate them into the overall tank concept.
E. A 3D printing specialist who can handle printing detail parts. and or maybe someone with good molding and casting XP.
Then we create our Hover Tank Platoon; everyone on the build team can share elements and we all make and have our own HT421 concept model.
Please let me know if you may be interested in helping with this project.
