We've lost a command post! I lost the command post I made several years ago, can't for the life of me find it, so I made another one. Inspired by Battlefront, which is canon now, but I just wanted to give it a practical utilitarian look. In my head canon, it's a communication device set up at strategic defensive positions, like Fuel/supply depots and airfields. It's used so the various platoon leaders can communicate with each other, and with Battalion command. They're loaded with real time battlefield maps and troop movements. This makes the position even more important to defend, as you don't want your enemy to gain important information.
I made it using a part from a rocket ship model kit, ILM used the same kit for some of the original ships, so it has this retroactive star wars look. I just added some greebles and an antenna made from a spray bottle part, a 1/12 gun part and a bandai R2 sensor scope. I wired up some blue and white LEDs, and used corrugated plastic for the hologram figure base and diffuser. The hologram figure is the old FFG hologram Veers.
