WOW! Looking good.  I love the droids.  Any other interior detail?  IIRC
isn't there some sorta melting facility onboard?

Still a very sharp model :D

Heyas,

Its been a while!  I built my last Star Wars MOC over 2 years ago!

I was recently asked to submit one of my models for the big convention • next
month, but since all my stuff has been taken apart for a while, I offered • to
re-make a model... specifically I have been wanting to rebuild the Jawa
Sandcrawler.

When I built the first one, brown bricks and plates were nearly impossible
to get at all, much less in the quantities needed to build such a large
vehicle!  I built it in red bricks, and while it was good for the time
(1998?)  It had some clear shortcomings.

I have been working on this model pretty seriously for the last 3 days,
finishing it last night with the figs and droids:

I am really pleased with the result!  The DK Star Wars reference book was
tre' helpful.  I added the graphics effects for fun, to visualize it • better.

I wanted to pack this one with features, so I detailed most of the • interior
and added some light effects.  There is a microscout in the engine area, • and
it controls a flashing optic computer panel in the loading room's second
floor, along with a intermittantly flashing light in the smelting room. • The
droid hold in the bottom floor and the control room both have lights, too.

the grabbing arm in the loading room goes up and down as well as forward • and
backward.  The contol for it is in the engine area at the rear of the • vehicle.

later!

(...) thanks, yes there is a melting facility, in fact its most of the second floor behind the loading room. I do have that section detailed in this model, and the flashing light is there to simulate the laser that breaks apart the various (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)
