There is this process called photogrammetry, which is able to build 3D models out of a series of photographs. After spending a frustration time with digital calipers, and far too many measurements I remembered that it is 2020, and there must be a better way. I’m going to 3d print a frame, a goal being the least amount of modification to the base kit parts.įirst I need an accurate representation of the part in the computer. This is what I will try to do, but I’m going to try and hide it a bit more. In this close up of the 5’ model from the movie, you can see this hole drilled in the side with some kind of metal structure inside. That means some ability to attach the model onto a rod at multiple places around the model, top, bottom, one either side maybe.

I want to make a Stand in the spirit of the movie prop. Its fun to spot all the tanks parts in these areas.
The lower hull itself is split into two, and these pits must be installed before the lower hull gets assembled. I’m going to figure it out later, and get started on the hull. All the detail is raised on the cockpit walls, which makes it paintable, but I think you’re supposed to use decals instead, softened to f, to conform to the molded detail which isn’t a look I am excited about. Here’s the cockpit, the idea is you to backlight the cockpit with 2 white leds, but I might go for fiber optics here. It is nice that you can pretty much build the whole thing without glue, y worry is the damage caused when trying to pull the thing apart. I’m going to to be filing down a lot of the ‘posts’ that hold most of the parts together. The push fit nature of these kits aren’t great for modification, if you need to constantly dry fit to test things.

To me the engine is a bright white bar, and I intend to bring the full force of 2020 LED technology to this modification.įirst impressions, it’s an incredible kit, the level of detail and accuracy are amazing. Pretty excited about building this, I would like a better stand, and I don’t like the grilled engines that they added in the special edition or whatever.
Paint entire cake with food dye mixed with the water.After sitting in the cupboard for a year, it is finally time.Outline the details of the cake with a small plastic knife or carving tool.Use left over fondant to cover the cockpit window.Secure each piece with a skewer through the bottom layer of the cake.Slice in half to form 2 layers, frost and place in front of ship to measure angles. (Plan ahead and try to leave enough thickness for the Window of the Cockpit.) Cut in half and cut into a trapezoid shape for the front of the ship. Carve parallel sides of the cake to start the shape of the ship.Create a thin layer of frosting for a crumb coat (this helps the fondant stick.).Frost the top and evenly spread with frosting.Trace another line that equally divides the cake in half.Carefully flip pan or release spring form to remove the cake.Bake at 325 until tooth pick comes out clean in the center (about 10-12 minutes for mini loaf and 25-30 minutes for 8 inch) Allow to cool completely. Pour into a greased 8 inch spring foam pan and save about 3/4-1 cup for mini loaf pan.Add wet ingredients and mix with hand mixer until smooth. Combine all dry ingredients and mix well.
