Background Info on the Iron Dome -
The Iron Dome (Kippat Barzel) is a Air Defense System developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and IAI. It is well known for its use in the Israel/Gaza conflict, where it has successfully intercepted 1,200+ rockets (2011-2014). It has been in use since its first deployment in 2011. A single battery costs in the upwards of $50 million USD, and every rocket interception, successful or not, costs around $20 thousand USD.


This is a piece I constructed a while back, meant to post, but never did. It goes with a build I'm making, but since that build isn't close to being completed, I just wanted to share this piece of it.

A few pieces may be different than the real thing, not all batteries are the same model, as seen in the ref. pictures. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A seperate post will be made for the full build which includes this, idk. If I ever get around to finishing it of course.
Constructive criticism welcomed.

that detail is exquisite

Thanks, the rocket pods were a little awkward to make though, given the angle at which they are deployed. Nonetheless I tried and I like how they turned out.

yeah diagonal builds are usually tough in blockland, put you pulled it off pretty well

I thought this was about iron domes with ads

That is a very interesting build to tackle - the detail is great however the scaling isn't quite correct?

The Vatican dome is now advertising Froot Loops over Michealangelo's work

Looks really good. It does look rather small though.
