Hi all. First ever post on this forum. Gotta say mighty impressed by the work on display here. Just a humble trueSpace user myself but hoping one day to get modo. Anyways, I'm making a model of a Death Star Turbo Laser Tower and thought it would be a good way to start over here at SFM. As with any future posts, C&C are most welcome.

This latest image shows how the model is progressing. It's been quite time cosuming to date as I don't have any blueprints and figuring out the scale/dimensions from just reference photos has been quite tricky. But I think most of the hard work is behind me now and I can just concentrate on getting the detailing right.
Cheers,
SP
Hey Breech Block, welcome to the forum!
Great work so far, heat the laser and shoot some rebels
I guess anyone who saw the original film back in 1977, as I did, and witnessed the impact it had at that moment in time is not going to be overawed by any of the prequels.
Yeah, if only. However, now you have mentioned it, I might just do a small portion of the trench as a kind of diorama thing.
Guess that means I'm gonna have to do an X-Wing next in order for this thing to have a decent target.
Anyhows, here is the latest update.
Very nice work, alsways loved these gun towers !!!!
Well, at long last, the modelling phase of this particular item has drawn to a close. Next up is creating some custom UV and texture maps. I'm hoping these will add a whole new level of detail as the model's looking kinda sparse in places.
Here is another small update. Mainly the barrels to do now and a bit more work on the door/hatch you can see. Not too sure if I really want to "weather" the whole thing down or not.
Time to move on to making an X-Wing now methinks and see if I can put the two together in a short animation.
Still, GREAT work on this piece! Love it!! I can just hear that booming-echo of its firing now!
and Welcome to SFM!
