My Life-Sized Vintage 1978 Luke Skywalker Kenner Action Figure Project

[azheat01]

Hey all, I'm working with the incredibly talented laellee on a new project and wanted to post here in the event anyone is interested. Project 1278 is my vision of bringing all 12 of the first Star Wars figures released in 1978 to a life-sized, 3D printable format. The first figure in this series is complete; Luke Skywalker. Luke stands approximately 5'-10" tall, has a rotating head, adjustable arms, and a retractable lightsaber; just like the vintage 3.75" scale figure.

I'm offering the downloadable print files through my Etsy shop, Echo Base Studios. https://echobasestudios.etsy.com

The majority of these pieces are cut to fit a printer with a build volume of 256*256*256 mm³. The info sheet that comes with the download has more information.

For the next few days, I'm offering all RPF members 75% off my retail price (which brings your cost to about $10.00). To get the discount, please go to my Facebook page facebook.com/echobasestudiosaz Log into Facebook, like/follow, send me a message with your TDH username, and you'll receive a discount code.

I've already started printing mine and it's gonna be awesome!

Anyway, feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks..........AZ

Jumping around on projects at the moment, but making progress on Luke. Just need to finish printing his back torso and arms. Here's the legs, pelvis, lightsaber, and front torso pieces. Not going to glue anything together until everything is printed and test fitted. The lightsaber has a removable, magnetically attached handle to make it easier to slide into his hand. It also has a magnet cavity on the rear end, and one that matches inside the arm, to keep the saber in place when retracted.

The prints look great, but I do have some areas to clean up as I'm still playing with orientation to save on time and filament. Once this is assembled I'll bondo the seams and get to sanding / painting. I'm pleased with how this is looking, real fun to see a childhood toy come to life at this size.

Fantastic! Painting that would be fun as well!
