Product Description
Scattered around Echo Base on the frigid world of Hoth are these mystery box thingies. Because of their resemblance to Gonk droids, they're presumed to be some sort of power box type of dealie, but of course, they're just made of plastic barrels and crates, slapped together with some bits of hose and scrap. There appear to be maybe four of them on the Hoth set, including one by the rear part of the Falcon and one down a side corridor.
So here are three renditions of the thing for your Hothy diorama. Note that we don't have photographic details covering any one thingy in good detail, and I'm sure there were never any blueprints for them. So these are three idealized boxes based on a number of different photos and screenshots. Size-wise I've had to guess based on photos showing humans standing reasonably close to them, but again, it's all a lot of guesswork.
To save money I've modelled the three thingies on a single sprue. It's easy to cut them apart once they're cleaned and painted, though note that the curved cable parts are EXTREMELY fragile! These parts are only available in resin ("fine detail") plastic. They are not going to be reworked to be printable using the "versatile" powder plastic process. This is because "versatile" prints look like rough sugarcubes, and all the insane detail built into these models wouldn't be printable at all.
There's a complex cage framework built around the hoses to protect them in production and shipping. This will need to be carefully cut away with fine sprue cutters.
Please read the following if you're interested in this item.
These accurizing parts are not mass-market commercial products. I made them for my own use, and have put them here in case they're of interest to someone else. Possibly you, since you’re reading this.
These are components for the serious model maker who wants to build a more accurate miniature. They require finishing. If you don't want to trim, file, sand, and glue, then these aren't the parts you're looking for!
The parts are tiny, and easily broken. They push the limits of today's 3D printers. The detail in the digital previews is all there, but it won't always be visible at the miniscule sizes that this scale requires!
