April 2022 -
After working out the basic core structure I was keen to understand what the overall dimensions of the castings around the waist are.
Specifically how long (radially) and how wide (height).
These castings are repeated around the waist and are also further enhanced with additional parts in certain places, presumably to add some randomness to the appearance.
I had already modelled or sourced files for most of the parts on each plate so it wasn't too difficult to mock them in place with the photogrammetry result.
The King Tiger plate is complete. Just need to give the Matilda plate the same treatment.
Following the survey of the waist castings I wanted to finalise the Gunport window.
Studying other models I realised that the small T-track that is found on the window mullions appear to be the same as found on the Tie fighters.
I was able to produce the following model that is accurate to the photogrammetry.
Above, final iteration of the Gunport window.
