Tamiya M577 Command Post
More from the digital kitbash library.
Digital donors
Finally got my hands on Part #53 from the SeaLab III kit. Also some other random bits – Ferrari 312B Headers, LS Morgan parts…
Gun Platform sketching
Some renderings of our current gun platform solution. Still a bit of tweaking to do, but I liked the renderings.
RACAL Amplivox MiniLite Headset
Just a quick 2-day project. Not sure if I’ll publish these. While I think the proportions are pretty close, the overall size was a total guess. If anyone has some actual dimensions, I’ll gladly post the files…
I wonder what these will look like at 1/36 scale. Lol.
Cockpit Rear Bulkhead Complete!
Yeah – so it’s been two years since I finished the cockpit sidewalls – and now, as promised, the rear wall is finished! Here’s a link to the GrabCAD project!
Quad Cannon Test Print
Just got these polyjet printed and added a single coat of white primer. No sanding yet.
This is the ANH 5′ gun printed at half scale. It was printed in six pieces and includes hollows for 1/16″ steel rods inside the barrels and the articulation points.
I did this as a test print to figure out my tolerances for snap fits and such.
Quad Cannon Lives
A little mock-up to test targeting the quad cannon from the Millennium Falcon.
I used Unity3D to calculate the spherical aiming model, and then I derived the servo values from there which are passed to an Arduino to control the servos. Pew, pew!

Quad Cannon
Thanks to Andre for providing the base model for this. I’ve been tweaking proportions and adding greebles. Yay! Greebles!
