The one I will be using will be painted first before I apply the accessories.
The pictues make it look quite large, other than the 3.8cm in length it really is.
So that should give you an idea how difficult it will be to paint as well as sand and place the parts together.
Anyway here is the test part with the accessories glued in place.
Mark Hi Mark,  At 3.8cms that is an amazing (resin) print. Bring on the painted version.  I won`t tell anyone, but I know you`ve done a face painting course. Ooops  You`ll manage, no problem.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Now you’ve gone and done, put on the pressure why not.  Just bought a new magnifying glass from NASA. Maybe that will help, good brand and well made from Hubble!!!! Think I might still need the mallet. Mark

Trev. Thank Trev, Think sometimes you have to be an engineer with these printers, all the settings and a lot of maintenance each time you use them. But we’ll worth the effort when you see the finished results. Mark

The Mandalorian is ready for the diorama, so it has been placed somewhere safe for now. This was one of the hardest figures I have ever painted due to its size and complexity of the amount of equipment he carries on him all at 1/72 scale. Specsavers have readjusted my eyes, so I’m all good to go again. I still have Grogu in his pod to do yet, but that is for another day. I am now concentrating on the landing legs as these will need to be done first and prepared for the main body as the electrical cables will be running through them, disguised as hydraulic hoses.

From concept to reality. Over the last two weeks I’ve been thinking about the Razor Crest diorama and how I can push the boundaries. As some of you will know, I started putting lighting into my dio’s and then I added sound effect too. Now, I’ve gone visual. Yes, I have programmed an old Raspberry PI, added a 5” screen and added Full HD video that will play on a loop that only stops when you switch it off. The 3D printed screen is a rendition of the Razor Crest console and more of this will go either side of the screen, including Grogu’s obsessive lever with the chrome ball. Here is some pictures, more on the rest of the console very soon. Popcorn at the ready. Mark Markwarren attached the following image(s):

Thank you Phil, I have to get the electronic parts done first, so I can see how it will all be put together when it comes to the main model and diorama. Many thanks Derek, video clip just for you in the next post. Mark

Okay, so I started preparing the screen case, sanding etc, then realised that when connecting the new power source and sound cables, I was 4mm too short inside for them to fit.  Back to the drawing board to increase the size, I decided to make some alterations. I added a ridge at the top and made space for a Mandalorian logo which was printed on my resin printer separately. Here is the modified screen finished and ready for the next console parts with all the switches on. Here is a clip of it working with sound.

Excellent work Mark. Needs a health warning though. I`d inadvertently left my speakers on 100% volume and my ears are still ringing. Keep answering the phone and there`s no one there. Keep up the good work. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
