Star Wars Lego Diorama: Battle of Hoth

Student is an avid Star Wars fan and also a fan of Lego.  They have a number of sets with a theme, one of which is dominated by a series of scenes from the movie 'Empire Strikes Back'.  One of the iconic series of scenes from this movie involves the AT-AT machines and the 'Battle of Hoth'.   In this instance the student privately had the AT-AT but wanted to have some of the additional props from the movie to combine with what they had to create a diorama.   The student knew that there was 3D Designed and printed material out there and wanted to include something related to it. 
 

The design element of this post is limited as the student is using pre-made and designed material, however this is being done as a way to spark creativity related to the scale of the model, for instance how does the turret and the gun fit in to the scale of a Lego Mini-Figure and then how does this relate to the scene from the movie (which will introduce ratio to the student).   The idea is additional material will be printed and then the student will move to designing some items himself that are unique and meet the scale etc.

This turret is currently a twelve hour print, includes some rafting - of note the barrel of the gun is only 3mm across at some point, the Snapmaker Printers are able to print it, some printers might not have the finesse to include this detail (which typically we would be concerned would be snapped or break when the rafting was removed).
