Old Bens mark II Printer Friendly Version   By DUKEDREAL - Dec. 31, 1969 Old Bens mark II Dimensions: 18 inches wide by 14 inches long by 5 inches high Molds used Turret Mold #61, 8" Round Tower Mold #64, Dragon's Teeth Accessory Mold #80, Egyptian Basic Block Mold #95, Egyptian Tomb Accessory Mold #97, Egyptian Temple Accessory Mold #98, Starship Deck Mold #270, Laboratory Floor Mold #271, Service Area Floor Mold #272, Egyptian Floor Tile Mold #290, Egyptian Weave Floor Tile #291, Egyptian Decorative Floor Tile #292, Station Builder Mold #300, Starship Wall Mold #301, Cargo Bay Accessory Mold #302, Med Lab Accessory Mold #303 Construction The idea behind building this mark II version was to correct some major flaws I saw in the first version. First in the movies Old Bens is located up on a hill top. Also in one of the books it shows a detailed basement. Also the roof on the mark II version is more refined and helps to unify the structure with the other Star Wars themed structures that I have built. The walls of the hill are made from various molds from Woodland Scenics to create a real rock face surface for the base. Fluff “I can’t go with you to Alderan. I can take you as far as Anchorage, from there you could get a transport to Mos Eisly or anywhere else.”   3 Ratings     12345      Public Comments Please log in to post a comment    Created  Comment  Aug. 26, 2007, 08:07AM  By: NOLSEN Nice job. I really like your groundwork details. Looks very natural and desert like. Nice build good detail inside.  Aug. 26, 2007, 08:00AM  By: TAR_ELENDIL Impressive to see how much you improved your previous model. This one perfectly integrates with your more recent Star Wars buildings. I like the idea of the basement (although thinking that Ben would need a treadmill to keep in shape is a shame ;-) ). The assembly could have been perfected, but the painting is - as usual - impressive.  Aug. 23, 2007, 11:12AM  By: ABAROTH An interesting re-think on your earlier version. As usual, you have come up with some very innovative uses for the blocks - the treadmill made me smile. :-)
