Endor moon module

[Dani]

Hello,

 

Most of my train modules are based on Japanese scenery, normally places that I have visited like Yamadera or Tôno. But I'm also fan of Star Wars and I like to build Star Wars miniatures and models. So I thought time ago "why not to build Star Wars train modules"? Yes, it's a little bit weird, but a good way to join two things that I really like and optimize my hobby time.

 

I already bilt Hoth planet:

 

 

And I'm detailing and finishing Tatooine:

 

 

And now I'm attempting the most challenging one for me: The Endor Moon

 

I want it to show the shield bunker, the landing pad (for AT-ATs and Tydirium Shuttle), and the Ewok village. Most of them 3D printed myself.

 

So I'll be posting in this thread the advances as often as I can, as my hobby time is very limited.

 

You can tell me if you think this type of modules are too crazy...

 

Cheers!

Dani

Very fun! It’s your rr and best to enjoy yourself! We have a couple of nTrak and Ttrak modules in the area that are Star Wars themed. One of our club members has Japanese Ttrak module with a hillside with a crashed flying saucer on it. No reason you can’t have fun with it!

And what about some suitable trains? I think you could probably use parts from kits for speeders, walkers, small spacecraft etc to make train bodies to put on Tomytec or Green Max chassis.

That's an awesome idea I never thought...

This is one of the scenes I want to reproduce from the "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi", the Landing Pad with the Tydirium Shuttle and one AT-AT in the Endor Moon:

 

 

First of all I printed, properly scaled, these models I found in Thingiverse:

 

Mars Bars Scuttle: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:872684 from user "aaskedall"

Endor Landing Pad - ATAT Docks: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2797170 from user "gametree3D"

 

The shuttle had no landing gear, so I used the following one that also includes the ramp:

Shuttle was printed with water soluble support filament:

 

 

And the Landing Pad was "cut" to be printed in 3 different parts so the lamp posts were no printed and there was no need for supports. After drilling a hole in the pilars for the main wires this is how I painted it:

 

 

I also painted the shuttle and added a tiny led in the front to illuminate the ramp:

 

 

I used 4 street lamps to illuminate the Landing Pad and this is the final result:

 

 

One part of the scenery ready!!!

 

I'll post more advances soon hopefuly.....
