It’s New Years, so what am I doing? Starting a scratch build of a Death Star Turret that’s what. I’m actually a little hesitant to post as I’m fairly early on in the process but hoping that a WIP thread will keep me going. I expect slow updates though since I usually only get weekends to tinker.
This is an awesome idea. We have a ton of the Star Wars Miniture game stuff. I really like the idea of making some turrets and other things to go along with it.
@joshnmary484 the files are a mess right now but if I come up with anything shareable I will.
@3d_g33k Yes, saw that on tested, but thanks! The article is fantastic! He is definitely in another league. Still should provide lots of good insight on how to approach the build.
Got a little time to work on this tonight. Overall I’m hopeful that we’ll end up with something good. My main focus is currently on materials and surface armor. I’ve switched to Bristol for the smoother texture and shamelessly borrowed bits of the CAD for the surface armor from David Goldbergs build.
Here’s a pic of where the top two pieces stand now straight from the GlowForge.
Made a bit of progress this morning. The paper craft version is now layed out for 11x14 Bristol. Impressed at how well the camera is lining up at the moment. A little off but so much better than it has been!
