CAD work done. Now onto breathing some life into it. This is where the fun begins!
I finally finished my Jawa Blaster (I have no idea what the make / model is, in-universe):

I see that you did the discoloration on the lower tube of your DV6. I was going to do that on mine but couldn't find epoxy that dried amber, dam manufacturing improvements, lol. What was your method?

Gently sanding the lower tube to partialy reveal the brass underneath the chrome
.I don't subscribe to this yellowish dried epoxy theory. To me they likely sanded the lower tube at one point to get rid of glue residue or so, in order to glue back T tracks right after.

I finished another X-Wing Dashboard Graflex in ANH colors…but cheated a bit on this one.
The base flash is one of the rarer, black military Graflex flashes (which may be what the original was).
It’s a very cool looking variant:
A quick plug for the decal sets sold by TatooineMachine …they are awesome!

Great idea!
Impressive!!
I just got a resin printer and saw a file for an AT-ST, but I was wondering how to do the legs. I would think that it would need a support under the body because resin usually sags under weight.

If you are going for the Studio scale likeness, then a rod up the backside is ok, as the ILM model also has it.
I will use a very sturdy resin type, and try to add a metal rod system inside the legs.
As XENO said inserting a metal rod, when you come to splicing your STL files is the perfect option and there should be a drop down option in your settings to add voids/spru holes which you can tinker with pre print.
