WIP 1:6 Death star corridor

[Anzik]

This is just propped up and taken with my phone but you get the idea.

Wow!
Brilliant project!

That is looking really cool Andy. Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[Anzik]

Thanks guys. I have to wait for the hobby store to get some more stock in. and I have a few more pieces still drying. The lights are made of a transclucent plastic that will allow a light source behind it.

That looks great! When SS gives us a vader and some stormies then you may have to make some more of those dios.

 

[metaphorge]

That's awesome! Mind sharing some more details about the materials you're using?

 

[Anzik]

Its all made of styrene. I cut the piece and layered them, cut some grooves into the plastic for the door seams. I used light weight sheets for the "light panels" and just cut the rectangular shapes with an exacto. I then mounted them on thicker sheets with holes slightly smaller than the panels to allow light to pass through. Once in place I primered the surface and applied some spray paint. I am also doing the semi circle light panels as well.

That looks GREAT!!!!!
ONe of the most iconic settings in movies!
Great job on it! Looks like a lot of work, can't wait to see a Vader in it!
Need a Chewie barking at a mouse robot....

Which Han jacket is he wearing? That looks right nice.

 

[Anzik]

Its Hasbro's. I should try on those blue pants too.

Cutting out all those little slots is rough on the fingers!

I really need to find a cheaper source of styrene though. It's already at about $50 in material.

 

[pixletwin]

Its Hasbro's.

This guy?

 

[Anzik]

No I didn't get the Jim Carrey Han. Its from the original Han with the flapped box.

 

[pixletwin]

Oh... the Kenner... eBay here I come.

 

[Anzik]

Marc, I don't know if there is any difference between the costumes. If the Jim Carrey is cheaper, grab it.

The problem with the Hasblow Solo pants is that the legs are super-short. They barely stay inside of the boots. I did a custom Solo figure a while back and that was one of the fustrating parts in setting him up.

Fantastic work on the wall panels, by the way!
