Droidagem's Model 201 Mortar Build

[Droidagem[TK]]

This is where the fun begins!

 

I've spent the last couple of weeks examining the references/planning for the mortar, as well as printed many of the parts. Right now most of it is printed, and I have a bipod that is very identical to the one used in the show (I believe the brand and name of it is a trilock 13"-27" posi-lock rifle bipod). 

I've already modified the bipod some. Starting my removing the rubber end tips so they can be replaced by the adjustable ones I'll be making an stl for. Another adjustment made is I removed a second set of those dials where the bipod adjusts to be longer or shorter. Both on the hot toys and references for the screen used prop show that these dials appear on the top set, but not on the bottom. 

I also need to reprint the ball portion as seen in the first photo, not only because it printed rough but because the references show it has a hollow section in the middle to allow the base to be adjustable, below is my edit of the Oxprops files. I will likely contact Oxprops once I finish the build to see if he wanted to add this modification in his set of files or if he's fine having it be public so that others can pursue this build more accurately. Here's a look at how modifying it has been going. I'll likely be adding to this thread a lot in the next few weeks since I aim to finish this in time for my next troop in early November

You could also share any updated files to our 3D file depository , you will find quite a few Rogue One updates there.

I've been quite busy with work alongside doing this mortar and starting my next costume, so that's why I haven't updated this as I went like I prefer to, but I will go over how I've gotten to this finished version of my mortar

 

I went and made files for the feet of the bipod, though I didn't finish my "tube" print for the bipod, as I quickly realized that the screen used bipod is a lot longer than mine. The bipod used in the show is an extendable one, so is mine, but mine needs to be fully extended to be the length used in the show. If you look at references you'll notice that only the bottom part of the bipod is extended and that the upper part is collapsed. Adding the tubes onto my bipod would look extremely odd with how close it would be to the feet of it. This along with the iron sights being too big, and missing a couple greebles above the iron sights is enough for me to want to come back to this eventually with a version 2, and possibly modify this version 1 to launch stuff (obviously not for conventions and that, just for my own amusement lol). The bipod was also just attached using plenty of CA glue, I could've likely screwed it on or tried using a proper bipod holder, but I didn't think the holder looked very accurate on it, and I couldn't find exactly how it was originally attached for the show, so I just went off the placement seen in references.

I will be sharing this bipod end file, as well as the file in my first post in a day or two. To attach it I used the small metal pin found on the bipod. Once you remove the original rubber ends, this pin gets exposed and it's used to hold the spring inside the metal tube, but it's also convenient enough to stick out and slide into my printed bipod ends. 

I also wanted to note that if you compare the 3 yellow dotted detail on my mortar to the Hot Toys references (these are also the references used for the CRL), mine is placed differently, I used this reference image below of the actual mortar for my placement of it

Oh and as a fun little detail that I don't have pictures of yet, the cylinder piece on the side of the mortar matches the handle on the side of the munitions pack and can be attached to the pack. Though I haven't tried wearing it myself like this just yet because my munitions pack is already heavy enough as it is and I don't need to be adding another 5-10 pounds to it lol

Very nice, have to be happy with that

Very nice work. You're making me want to build one.

I've added my files to the 3D file depository, but will also share the link here
