I think the centrefold was there first, for Star Wars, and the poster was added when the model was reworked and filmed again for Jedi.

Thanks JD1! I don't have 'From Star Wars to Indiana Jones', but I knew I've read it someplace. Have to get me that book.

I was curious about what scale the centerfold was in, since the model had two different scales. But then I realized that it's probably in scale with the ship's existence as Tantive IV, since the centerfold was for July 76.

Are you going to use Episode 3 as reference for the cockpit details ?

Jim, you can't be serious! That wasn't even a Corellian Corvette - it was an embarrassing CGI version of a ridiculous toy!

... Nothing to do with Star Wars at all if I'd be asked (like most of the rest of the so called "prequels"; but that's another story)

I was asking if he was going to use the details of the set the actors sat in Episode 3 as reference to make a scale cockpit.

I was not asking if he was going to use the CGI exterior of a ship from EP3 as reference for an ANH Studio Scale model.

Falk · 12-05-2009, 03:27 AM

Jim,

I guess it was pretty clear from your first post that you mean the cockpit, but why should Lasse ruin his fantastic build using crappy components which are completely out of canon?

C'mon, these "prequel" CGI "wizzards"

couldn't care less about continuity or scale. My grandma has more resemblance with a certain protocol droid than that thing we see in E3 with any spaceship from Star Wars.

What is sold as "Tantive IV" is 100% out of proportion, and I get sick if only I think about details like the landing gear or hangar bay they incorporated!

Based on his response to me earlier, it sounds like Lasse isn't concerned with making the cockpit perfectly match the studio models' cockpit.

I am not going to replicate that, it was ILM`s joke and they sure spent it well.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you about the quality of the ROTJ depiction, but technically speaking it's part of the saga, while the bridge of the ANH Tantive IV doesn't appear in the OT. So I think there's some room for debate about which version is more canonical.

But let's not debate it here in Lasse's thread.

Thanks for your PM btw, hopefully I explained myself ok.

Another kit in the works... wow, I'm drooling! My fav ship in the trilogy!

omes72 · 12-08-2009, 04:55 AM

Keep dreaming. I already asked that & its a personal build with his son. He said it'd be $5000 or more as a kit & no one would buy it

maybe not, but probably HELL YEAH!!!! Do you want a down payment Lasse or full payment

Sorry but we all have dreams......

Themodelshopman · 12-13-2009, 12:07 PM

The cockpit exterior is finally done and primed. A massive job as it is the face of the model and needed to be very close to the original. Check out my update here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2899377...<br /> <br />

WOW!!!

Top notch work

I am back in the modeling groove after a 6 month absence. These last days i have built the radar assembly for my Tantive IV

mike d · 06-08-2010, 04:48 PM

Been a fan of your work ever since i saw some of your models in person at Avalon in the early nineties. FABOLOUS!

Themodelshopman · 06-08-2010, 04:54 PM

Damn, you really make me feel old saying that - Thanks anyway

Vadermonkey · 06-08-2010, 05:14 PM

Wow! Great work.

Dont forget Miss. July 1976

I NEVER use the correct kits parts.... - It is hard enough for me to fit in here as it is.

That's exactly why I love your work Lasse. I think your models are far superior to the real deals.
Seeing someone slavishly track down the exact parts to replicate a studio model is amazing in of itself but does get quite boring. It's nice to see a modelers creative use of 'alternate' detail parts.

MonsieurTox · 06-08-2010, 07:28 PM

Glad to see you back in modelling Lasse ! As always, stunning job, I appreciate how you scratched the BF109 engine frame mount !

REL · 06-08-2010, 07:39 PM

I can't imagine what this looks like in person, I know pictures only show a small fraction. Having seen the work you did on the Vader TIE, I know every little detail is flawless.

propologist · 06-08-2010, 09:15 PM

wow , incredible work as always.

TymerDC · 06-08-2010, 09:22 PM

Heres a better closer pic..I hope this helps

Absolutely amazing Lasse. It's better than the original. I haven't seen a post on this for a while, and I'm glad this project wasn't temporarily shelved.
