Awesome pulls!! Just curious, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but did they actually used a street lamp for the ship construction or did some guy at ILM just said, "hey, it looks like a street lamp"?

Said something that made me groan: "yeah, we used some big Porsche... did you know that?"
I wanted to scream "YOU USED SEALABS AND 1/8 ENTEX KITS AND AND..... DIAMONDS!!!! WHY!?!?"
and IT WAS THROWN OUT.
Het guys, Nilo modeled the look of slave 1 after the street lamps that lined the street going to ilm.No, it was labelled a streetlamp by the crew i think, Jamero modelled it on some kind of satellite dish, though it does also resemble an ESB period desklamp used in the modelshop, so who knows.

I picked Lorne Peterson's brain about this model like crazy when ever the opportunity presented itself, as you can well imagine. He was happy that someone was crazy enough to scratch one. Said something that made me groan: "yeah, we used some big Porsche... did you know that?"
Yeah. we knew that. :behave
Then he said "you sure? It's big? Like... 1/18th or something"... charming. I wanted to scream "YOU USED SEALABS AND 1/8 ENTEX KITS AND AND..... DIAMONDS!!!! WHY!?!?" But just laughed and told him how expensive the kit was now. He was like "heh - sorry about your luck, guys!" Hehe.
He then said:
The original form components were hand carved from Jelutong, and survived kicking around the archives until relatively recently, when someone placed the pattern "near" a bunch of trash... and IT WAS THROWN OUT.
:cry
But there are whispers of a set of pulls in the hands of some lucky people. Who knows.
Thanks for the info, Don! I'd like to think they weren't thrown out...
Were you the one responsible for the two boxes labeled "More American Graffiti Underwear" and "Used Ewok Underwear"? That cracked me up!!
