Custom Star Wars Trek Dr Who LOTR etc 3.75 1/18

Just wanted to show some of the figures I have customized and models I have built, and maybe get some tips and ideas from fellow creators.

Got the inners of a legacy Milennium Falcon and converted it into this diorama.

Preview of the Coruscant street seen I have created, again in 3d Builder, and am currently printing to go with the airbus.

Here's some pictures of the Coruscant airbus being printed and assembled.

Finally broke down and got into 3D printing. Created this from scratch in the awesome Microsoft 3D Builder software. Based on the Coruscant Airbus from Star Wars. Again, scaled to 1/18, 3.75 figures. The dome is courtesy of my Dad, who built a homemade vacuum forming machine for me.

Custom built 3.75, 1/18 scale Star Wars Resistance Intersystem Transport from Disney Worlds Rise of the Resistance ride. I used wood, mat board, foam core and plastics. My dad, of course, built me some circuit boards to run the blinking lights and strobing engines. I also challenged him to come up with a way to do motion. He discovered the joys of servo motors and microprocessors. So together we installed an Arduino mega 2560 processor that I programmed to control 15 servos to give motion to 13 figures and the Laser cannons. We also  installed 2 micro mp3 players to do the sound effects, and radio controlled relays to remote activate the lights, motions and sounds.

Custom 1/18 3.75″ scale Star Wars Jedi Shuttlebus. Made using foam core and mat board. Even got my Dad involved on this one. He researched and made circuit boards to do the blinking lights and strobing engines.

Custom Star Wars 3.75, 1/18 scale DD-BD and L3-37. I made the DD-BD from scratch with sheets  of white styrene in 3 thicknesses, and added LEDs. It is fully poseable with hip and ankle ball joints and rotating head. Also made a removable restraining bolt using neodymium magnets. I added elbow joints and LEDs to the force link L3-37.

Special thanks to Howard Wen for his SW Vintage Cardback Maker. Also, thanks to Customsforthekid.blogspot.com for the post that steered me to it. Had a lot of fun using it to make the card for my DD-BD.

This spiraled a bit out of control. I decided to make a custom Star Wars 3.75 1/18 RIC-290 rickshaw droid. Then I had to make the rickshaw. Then came Padme and Anakin. Then, of course, I had to have something to display them on, so then came Wattos place in Mos Espa. As usual I made all cloth outfits and new bodies for Padme and Anakin.
