PROJECT SLAVE 1 PART 4 ‘WORKING ROTATING COCKPIT’

PROJECT SLAVE 1 PART 4 ‘WORKING ROTATING COCKPIT’
Some RnR and a cold beer got me thinking, could I actually make the cockpit of my Slave 1 model rotate? As you will see in this episode it is possible but this is just part of my journey to build a studio scale model of Boba Fett’s ship Slave 1. I hope you enjoy following the build series and subscribe to my channel. Thanks for watching.

Great work, quite the project. Perhaps a couple of magnets to locate the rotating section so it doesn't swivel while the canopy is on.

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks Brynn for the kind comment. Great idea about the magnets they would certainly help a lot. Next episode out on Wednesday.

[@aureum7479]

I love this Work 🙏💯. The Slave 1 has always been a confusing yet legendary ship in starwars, specifically the interior. You did a perfect Job.

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks for the great comment Aureum. Slave 1 certainly is enigmatic. I'm just finishing off the exterior detail so you can expect a new video soon.

[@aureum7479]

@@StaplesandVine cool

[@StaplesandVine]

May do Mando's new star buggy next. What do you reckon?

[@aureum7479]

@@StaplesandVine Ah, you mean his new ship. Yes that would be cool, luckily it’ll be far easier to do as it’s just a modified ship.

[@b-radbuilds6495]

Another awesome video! Great work on the rotating cockpit, looks super smooth. Thanks for the kind words. You did a great job painting both Boba's 👏 I think my next video will be me updating my Boba model to match his new armour paint job and costume from the book of Boba Fett show, thats coming out soon. I will pose him up so he will fit into your cockpit, so you can have old and new Boba! Cant wait to see this finished!

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks Bradley, that's very kind of you to offer. I'm really looking forward to 'The Book of Boba Fett'. New Boba would be great. Hopefully the rest of the build will be a bit more straightforward.

[@lpjmodels]

Great job on Boba Sera, great to see him in person at the club. Great ingenuity on the rotating cockpit too! you're cooking on gas now!

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks James, it's really encouraging the feedback I have had on this build. It's a popular genre...

[@petermerz2704]

Looks great! Just went back and watched the older episodes. Lots of work done to get where you are now! Thanks for sharing!

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks Peter, glad you like the build series. There is still an awful lot to do. The engines and wings are going to be almost totally scratch built - lots of fun. Great that you are coming along for the ride.

[@petermerz2704]

@@StaplesandVine I saw your channel when I was browsing KZbin, decided to watch! Glad I did. Awesome scratch and resin build!

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks@@petermerz2704 there's lots of subjects I want to make but can't get decent kits of, hence scratchbuilding. I have a very long to build list... 🙂

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Looking forward to painting! The finish line is near!

[@StaplesandVine]

You may be looking forward to painting! Still lots to do, I'm loving this project. Thanks for the encouragement.

Mesmerizing video!!!😍😍😍

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks Gambody, lots more to come on 'Slave 1' and a few other projects I have your files for.

[@clumsydentist5576]

This got to be the best video I ever saw on KZbin. Insanely cool work, thank you for sharing your amazing work with us!

[@StaplesandVine]

Wow! Thanks for the amazing comment. There's lots more to come on this project. I've just 3D printed the guns, they look so 😎. Please, spread the word.

[@clumsydentist5576]

@@StaplesandVine I already look forward to the next Video! I'm currently binching the rest of your series, great work. All that metal casting brings back memories from university, although we didnt have fancy cad and had to wax up the crowns and bridged before molding and casting. Amazing how you are that capable in so many different techniques.

[@StaplesandVine]

@@clumsydentist5576 it's always exciting discovering new ways of making stuff. CAD & 3D printing help a lot these days but old school skills never let you down. 🙂

[@nogginthenog2227]

Really starting to look the part now Sara. Thats the joys of scratch building, finding solutions too the problems we create for ourselves. There's a lot to be said for the old fashioned techniques. Modern tech still can't solve all the issues. Thanks for doing the videos, they're always informative and I normally learn something useful to use in my own efforts. Mike

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks for the great comment Mike. I love the combination of new and old techniques for problem solving scratch built projects. It is so much quicker and cleaner to build up something in styrene than 3D printing in many cases. Lots of styrene work to come in the next episode. Sera

[@chaucer44]

great update. I've been following your progress closely =)

[@StaplesandVine]

Glad you like the video chaucer44. There's plenty more still to come on this build.

Also following your build on the RPF while working on my own, WONDERFULL work 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks for the kind comment Ben, glad you like my progress so far. Are you making the Gambody Slave 1 too? I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to the hull now.

[@theafvfactory4240]

Awesome work Sera, a real work of art. The cockpit solution is ingenious and very cool 😎

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks Bob, I'm glad I took on the challenge, really pleased with the result. On to the hull exterior now, looking forward to getting stuck in.

Thanks firefly4322 much appreciated. I'm really enjoying this build.

[@philharris8130]

wonderful engineering and a beautiful model 🙂

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks Phil. The cockpit has been a project in its own right . Hopefully I will make quicker progress with the hull.

Amazing work! My build is getting hung up on failed prints, warping, and alignment issues. Your updates are great fun to watch!! Keep up the good work, sir!!

Thanks for the great comment. It is a beast to print but well worth the effort. Episode #5 will be out soon. 🙂

[@krishthapar9929]

This might be too much of challenge-but adding all weapon systems including the seismic charge mine layer in the back would neat as well! No PRESSURE for you do this at all you've already done tremendous amount of work in this piece :)

@@StaplesandVine awesome, looking forward to it!

[@emilflognoid1532]

I’ve started preliminary work on a slave one project of my own similar in finished exterior dimensions, but vastly different in terms of scale and detail… basically I’m building a twice scale version of the original Kenner toy to accommodate 6 inch black series figures. Technicallly I could build it at 1.6 times scale So it would be the same size in proportion to a 6 inch figure as the original Kenner toy was to a 3.75 inch figure… But I just went ahead and doubled it for ease of measurement and to get it that much closer to true scale.

[@StaplesandVine]

Sounds good. Best of luck with your project.

[@preciousshowcase534]

wow, the working rotating cockpit are so sweet, do you plan to make it available or sell this file as an "upgrade" of the gambody one? congratulations again! also for the choice of using the Archive-X sets! GG

[@StaplesandVine]

Hi, glad you like my cockpit solution. Yes I will be making the stl files available but be warned there is a lot of reworking to be done on the original parts.

[@bigredg66]

Bonjour. Bravo très beau travail. Comment avez vous fabriqué la glace du cockpit car j'en construit un, et j'ai pas de solution pour le cockpit transparent.merci.

Oh man, please tell me you are selling those stls! I missed out on the studio scale run and really love your work!

[@StaplesandVine]

Hi Captain! You can get the .stls from Gambody here - www.gambody.com/3d-models/slave-one-starship . This is the base model I am re-working to make in more accurate. The cockpit is my design and will be released in due course. Subscribe for more update videos. 🙂

[@CaptainFettCosplay]

@@StaplesandVine perfect because I was only really talking about your cockpit and improvements. I really want to try to do an entire bisected cutaway model as well as the regular! I know, ambitious!

[@markprior3404]

this is amazing! are you taking orders? if so take my money!

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks Mark, glad you like it. You can buy the main 3D files from Gambody. I do plan to release the cockpit files in the future.

[@n_ex13]

For as utterly bonkers as the slave 1 is it is

[@StaplesandVine]

Totally agree. There is no logical reason for Slave 1 to be the design it is. Absolutely nuts.... but we love it. 😁

[@EriktheENG]

Good idea on how it could have looked, but it does seem that the cockpit itself is not meant to rotate at all. Only the passenger/cargo area rotates. Can see actual mechanism used for the Mandalorian in kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKrMZIOMaLJrsK8. Will just have to wait and see if there's any more interior shots in Book of Boba Fett. Maybe even see the back room behind the pilot seat.

[@StaplesandVine]

I have issues with the movie design and decided to go my own route. It's just my take on Slave 1. Most seem to like my concept although it's not for everyone. Looking forward to 'The Book of Boba Fett' and 'Mando 3'.
