About the Project

This was a project I wanted to build since the Clone Wars supplement was anounced for Star Wars Legion. Since we are preparing a Geonosis style table for our gaming group, this would make an eyecatching centerpiece. It is scratch built mostly from styrofoam/polystyrene and MDF. The antennas were 3d printed after designing them using TinkerCAD. I roughly scaled the ship to the objectives in the game Star Wars Battlefront where a tank roughly fits underneath. Some design elements like the support feet had to be changed slightly due to stability reasons.

Different Layers of styrofoam were cut in cylindrical shapes using the Proxxon hot wire cutter and the circular cutting board from Shiftinglands.

The different parts were put together to adjust the cutting angles. They were also hollowed to reduce the overall weight.

The support feet were cut from MDF wood to provide more stability and strenght to the construction.

Base with feet from underneath

I added some piping to the middle section by using straws some of which i cut in half.

The dome was created by simply cutting in half a styrofoam ball. Then 3 slots were cut for the antennas. I designed them in TinkerCAD and simply print them out on my filament printer using PLA.

I added some greebles to the top part. The hatches were created by simply cutting a styrofoam egg and cutting away recesses for the egg-parts to fit in. I also added some panels made from cardboard to ake the surface look more interesting.

The power units were also created cutting and stacking cylindrical shapes of polystyrene and adding dome made of half cut polystyrene balls.

I then basecoated the entire model with a black basecoat of craft paint.

And there it is, fully painted and in all its glory! I cannot wait to play a game of Star Wars Legion on our table with this beast on top. Hope you like this little project of mine.

Thanks for reading and until next time!
