Hey fellas, another mini update. Just about finished the medium blasters and all is in place for mounting. A little more detail and a little thinking to attach so they are movable. Does anyone know what color the windsheild is? Some art and some movie stills have it red, is this reflection ? Any input would be appreciated...thanks for looking!

Thanks Gamera! Ill have to beef up on my nomenclature..I know the chin guns are heavy cannons, the cheek guns may be medium. Thanks for checking in!

Stephen, many thanks! Oh yeah, the six inchers would require an addition to my house or rented warehouse space..lol..thank goodness for small favors!

SternO, Nice work on the AT-AT and Cantina.You get my vote for dad of the year. lol. I guess it is a good thing your son doesn't collect the 6" black series figures. Looking forward to seeing more.

Hey fellas, Been working on a couple Star Wars projects and thought i would run them by the experts. Neither are complete with lots of work to be done. The inspiration, other than a relentless 6 year old, was the desire to build true scale toys for his four inch figures. I know now why they dont, they are massive and would'nt fit in the stinking store!!! Liberties were taken with some detail, especially the walker cockpit, so im sure the rivet counters with be in a tailspin. Big Smile ALL comments and critiqes are essential! Sorry the pics are terrible, using my phone, Ill take better ones soon. Embarrassed It is great to see you guys and thanks for looking.
