Sheild Gate: Rogue One

[Twokidsnosleep]

Tinted the inside of the ‘planet’ with Tamiya Clear Blue
Added some white clouds on top. Not sure I 100% like it
Ahhhh I made the clouds too linear across the globe. They need to look like they surround a central pole of the planet. Damn


Then with light on


I think I need to diffuse the internal light a bit more still

[Twokidsnosleep]

Vs







Flat planet vs a globe planet

[Stokesy44]

If you're asking, and even if you're not , I think option 2 looks better.

Not saying option 1 isnt excellent but option 2 is more excellentier

[RangerNeil]

I'll vote for option #2 as well.

[Twokidsnosleep]

Oh 100%
The first one is painted like a flat canvas…flat Earthers would love it

[Twokidsnosleep]

For planet surface, used a print out



sandwiched it between the two flat acrylic circles



The black edging is garden irrigation tube connected with a brass pin

[digger303]

Imaginative solution.

[Twokidsnosleep]

Found a blue plastic wrap used for window protection..don't remember why I had it but I knew I did

It will form the blue planet shield that the gate generates in the movie

Hey! Dont knock us. There's power where ignorance is deployed at a group level!

Hey I have the proof the world is flat and you can step off the edge

I figured that one might rile up the ‘other’ opinionated

Is that a generic planet surface or did Scariff really have those mountain/strip mine things?

It was in my Scarif planet search, so maybe??

[Stokesy44]

Strip mining on Scarif?

Dont tell me the Empire has got kids digging for electric car battery components like us?

[Twokidsnosleep]

Busy Saturday and some movement forward on this project
First the shield gate and the blue hued planet protection…I tested and can make that work


Rough fitting and when it is doubled over, it gives more colour. This will work


Added in the floating supply ship on a strip of clear acrylic

[Twokidsnosleep]

Now the second thing, the base
Some good progress here as well








This slider thingy is for the X-Wing support..bit of a WIP

Looking good and the big question is does Blue 3 make it through to the surface?

[digger303]

Better straighten his approach

[Twokidsnosleep]

Yes.
In the movies the blues make it through and the reds splash and burn in the closed gate

[Twokidsnosleep]

This is a super short showing an acrylic rod bent to 90*

[Twokidsnosleep]

This bent acrylic rod is going to form the main support for the two 1/144 scale X Wings

[Twokidsnosleep]

I 3D printed a clear resin base and resin tubes to accept the main rod and two smaller rods that will support the X Wings
This will make more sense after it is all cured up and assembled

Wish I had your vision and talent, Scott. Some of your posts just blow me away, while making me feel inadequate.

Seriously though, Rouge One is by far my favorite SW movie (funny enough, my wife can't stand it...) and can't wait for you to finish this!!

Thanks
Please don’t talk about inadequate, God you build amazing things
Just gotta make do with what you have and copy other people’s ideas

Can't pass up a comment about Rogue One being a good movie. I loved it and would put it up there with the original trilogy. Even without the epic Vader scene, its still a great film, full of stunning imagery and fantastic story and action. With all the talk about the changes they made late on, I would love to see a Director's cut but am told it will not happen.

Working on a support stand for the forced perspective photos

Push to finish this today
