Star Wars - Tatooine moisture vaporator

[Papierschnitzel]

I have started to update the moisture vaporator that Michael has designed for the homestead building. I got a few requests that his version was a little to advanced to understand the build, so I decided to add some glue tabs and texturing.

After analyzing Michaels design I rebuilt it in Blender as a 3D model and made a concept render.



I then started to build a white prototype ...

And today finally made a first textured version ...

I found a couple of problems that I have to address but so far it looks OK. I want to add some layers with color variations and of course a dirt/weathering layer. The Lucas universe does not have much pristine stuff except for the empire

This looks really good! This could (easily) be used in so many different ways.

Nice...add a few of these together and some shaped boxes and you have a dreadnaught!!

After making some corrections and adjustments I was able to complete this build of the final version. No weathering yet but the build went much better so I am quite happy with the progress.

Only the weather layer and the instructions left!

A first look at the weathered version. Not the finished build yet (the extending poles are waiting for assembly) but I think, now it is coming alive!

I LOVE IT!!!

These look FANTASTIC!
I do see a little bit of greebling potential.

 

[Papierschnitzel]

I think you can add a little more realism with doubling/raising the ornaments on it. Also on the originals you see some more greebly stuff esp on the bottom tube. You can go nuts

Anyway, I finished the dirty build.


... and made a quick diorama with Princess Leia being attacked by a Tusken raider and Java!!!


Now I just got to make the building instructions and it's done!

These look FANTASTIC!!!
These are going to make a great addition to any diorama!

Very nice set. Can't wait.

Looks great as it is, and could definitely be used in some kind of kitbashing project. Very very cool!!!

Wow! You really have quite a kit there. The weathering is excellent. I like the whole concept. This could make for quite a diorama!!
