Jabba's Sail Barge.
Hello to everyone.
My name is Rodolfo Martínez, I am an illustrator, drawer and modeler. I posted some drawings of the R2 strip for the SS X-Wing and some of my work to share with the amazing people of this forum. I have learned quite a lot about the X-Wing ILM model's history thanks to the very well informed modeleers that are part of this community.
I was asked to show more pictures of my Sail Barge so here they are!
I built this Sail Barge back in 2003, it took me a couple of months to have it ready. I worked with a friend that builded a 2nd one after some styrene patterns a made as I builded mine, so we had two Sail Barges ready almost at the same time. We sold both of the to American Star Wars figure collectors.
The Sail Barge was not a Studio Scale replica but a playset model for the classic Star Wars figures.
The Sail Barge was 1.76cm in lenght and had a Jabba's throne room, a corridor with a stair that connected to the deck, ( just like in the movie) and a kind of cantina to place more figures.
The inner structure of the Sail Barge was made out of a 1 cm thick structure cardboard covered with 1mm styrene sheets. The fuselage was made with 1mm thick Styrene sheets too.
I hope you like the pictures!!

Thanks Darth Myeek and MonsieurTox!!

Re: Jabba's Sail Barge.
Wow Rodolfo, great stuff ! 176 cm, my god that's huge !
Very well done, I like the details and the paintjob (color and weathering) look spot on. What did you use to make the sails ?

Your T-33 profile is very good too, that's nice with the release of the new 1/32 T-33 !

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Jabba's Sail Barge.
Thanks to everyone for your words!
I'm glad you enjoyed my work.
T2SF, you are right, I was working with a friend in those days, back in 2003, making figures and modeling, we sold both Sail Barges in e.bay at U$ 1.500. I I remember well, they both went to America.
MonsieurTox, thanks. The sails were made out of 0,7mm Styrene sheets with wooden masts.
I,ve been working on my X.Wing blueprints and I must say it is very tough, in a couple of weeks I have come to realize how different each ILM wing is!
It´s so difficult to decide which one to try to measure!.
Anyway, as hard as it is I am advancing in quite well.
Thanks to everyone.

Re: Jabba's Sail Barge.
Wow I thought the sails were clothes of some sorts, the color does match the original very well !

As for the wings, yeah there is some differences, mainly between the hero models...

Hi there guys, sorry I haven't answered before, but I've been real bussy working on my SS X-Wing. I have a cardboard prototype model ready whit articulated wings. I build this model based on red 3 and now I am correcting the mistakes of some fuselage measures and building the final test fuselage before constructing the original styrene fuselage. I am quite happy with it, Il post pictures when I am a little bit more advanced an sure of my version.

Trap Joe, Hi, I think you are confused I havent been in USA since 83

Ewokus, your Sail Barge is superb! What a great job. Congratulations.

Re: Jabba's Sail Barge.
Hi, your work has inspired me to do the same. Could you help me with some of the construction plan? I need any material you might have on this ship. Let me know if there's anything I can do in return.
