Norrington Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 *Raises hand* QUESTION! Shouldn't Ben and Darth Vader have vinyl capes to? I have some of the original figs, and also, I'd find brown jedi robes, because the original figure has that. Its essentially the regular Ben torso, just inverted, with brown out, and tan in... Quote
Commander Xalax Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 brilliant looking Death Star!! Quote
hii Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 this topic is way cool *vader* *yoda* *alien* *y* :-D :-) Quote
BaronSat Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 *Raises hand* QUESTION!Shouldn't Ben and Darth Vader have vinyl capes to? Maybe but in the begining all I wanted was to cover the poor Leia as she was naked. Anyway that's a good idea, just have to find some brown and black vinyl. I have some of the original figs, and also, I'd find brown jedi robes, because the original figure has that. Its essentially the regular Ben torso, just inverted, with brown out, and tan in... Good idea too! Do you see other things that could be "vintagerized"? Another close up : the trash compactor Quote

Asuka Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Very good. Maybe it would be nice to add some kind of tentacle just to increase the tension of that situation. Quote
BaronSat Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 how did you make the trash compactor move? It's very difficult and sophisticated... no just kidding the wall is built with 2 hinge bricks in it ;-) Very good. Maybe it would be nice to add some kind of tentacle just to increase the tension of that situation. like that ? Quote

BaronSat Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 do minifigs slide down the garbage chute? Yes, even if Chewie has to remove it's "suit" first. some time today i am going to start on my death star, i'll see if i can post pictures and information on to this website, either i start my on thread or if you don't mind me doing it on this thread I don't mind. The more Death Star we'll have the more fun that will be. Ok, when we'll have 100 000 Death Star photos we'll have to make a new tread, but we'll see and anyway a moderator will tell us. ;-) A close up of the Imperials at work Quote
Scouty Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Very nice! Very nice! Excellent job on this. One question, on the last garbage shute picture, is the grime on Luke edited or real 8-| . Quote

Zaktan of the Shadows Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Ooh, nice new pics. The garbage compacter rocks. Can the floor tiles come off? -ZotS Quote

BaronSat Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 Ooh, nice new pics. The garbage compacter rocks. Can the floor tiles come off?-ZotS No the compactor floor is part of the general floor. I still need to make some photos of the unbuild Death Star to show that, but I'm still shaking ( *wacko* ) a bit because of "end of flu". Hope I'll be ok in the next days. how did you make that extra leg for the r2 unit? Ah, the question I was waiting for. I have been inspirated by Kaminoan (FBTB moderator and great decals makers) who use a cutted 1/2 Technic pin, so I cut a "Hinge Bar with 3 Fingers and End Stud" (2433 on BL) and use it as a third leg. The third foot is of course a black "Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3" (50746 on BL catalog). Quote

Starwars4J Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 how can you speak a website?please can you post some more pictures, e.g. the model in sections, it's been four days since some pictures! or pictures of other models you have made. I understood it as well, and it's a technique I need to try some day! Don't worry, your English is excellent :-) As for "how can you speak a website", it's just a commonly used phrase/joke (even in English :-| ), he's basically saying a lot of French is used on the site... Anyway, I can't wait to see more of the Death Star Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 is there any rooms in the middle of the death star, that you can't see in the pics? do you think you can alter, or rebuid your death star 1 and change it into the death star 2, with the broken surface? Quote
