Behold! - the centre section of Thirty/Thirty's beloved giant energy rifle, Sarah-Jane. This rough mockup was constructed to test some of the construction methods I had chosen to use. Eventually I'll re-design the nets to smooth out the shapes because I'm not a huge fan of these large faceted surfaces. Now I have it in hand, I can also see where some structural corrections are needed and am not overly happy with some of the visible seams either, which will have to be disguise some how or I may have to change the nets again to erase the need for them to be in that position altogether. This is proving to be quite a structural challenge purely because of it's sheer size. Can't wait to get around to constructing the other sections and piecing it all together. It is going to be well over 6 foot tall when finished I think. There are two additional parts that attach to the top and bottom of this centre section which will make this part, (pictured top left), even BIGGER. I refer to the 'turbo booster'…
I think you hobbyists are really going to enjoy the challenge of making this beast…
