Finally I got round to doing this, I'm not sure where to post it as its a bit of a weird concept
I'm looking for all your thoughts on this as a viable item to sell
I've been toying with this idea for ages now and given up and started again and lost track of it but tonight I finally did the first large scale proto to get an idea of how they look.
Originally it was to be a set of 4 per film ANH, ESB, ROTJ in a frame at 8x8 inch each but it became too fine art !!!
I wanted a bit more impact rather than just fiddling with tiny details....
I've used the generic pattern of a Red 3 Wing for the panels and blocks, this isn't to be compared with the studio model, I'm using the models as a backbone then going free form using all the techniques I learned since being at the RPF. Each one will be unique and hand painted.
They're also 3D with layered styrene and very basic kit parts to just nod (resemble ) the studio mini detail...again not to be accurate but just look the part.
Below is my starting point with the base coat on, thats an iPhone 4s to show scale, its 16 x22 inch without the frame, quite big
Now the finished Panels just tacked to a cheap Ikea frame to gauge the look.
Sorry for the naff pic but I want daylight to take proper shots.
Like I siad I'm looking to see what your thoughts or if anyone would be interested in these ?
No price as yet just checking I'm not going mad, but I love it and look s so ace at this size, I'm only painting the same way I paint the models so trying to ILM it all the way but more basic and a little more care free for a change.
Hope you like it
Next is the Five footer, then Slave and a snow speeder, then B-wing and A wing, Y and Sandcawler if I get time. I want to show these at the Star Wars Fan Day next week in Burnley
