Boba Fett & Slave 1 - 1:9

[Scote]

Ohh yah baby! Put Captain Solo in the Cargo hold!

Since few years now, I have a dream:

Create a 1:9 scale Slave 1 from Star Wars

Always love that Starship design more then Millenium Falcon actually. (How there me ahah)

So I will attempt to build a big version of a the movie version. I plan a 1:9 scale. So It will be huge: around 9 feet. Of course, I dont have space in my appartment for that, so I will start slow and build and sculpt Boba Fett and the cockpit. The rest will come when I will have the space.

Since I'm a 3d modeler by career I will 3d print a lot of parts (that I attend to model) that are too tiny for me to sculpt.

Here's a version of a 1:9 Potter head I did last year. The details are sick even if my camera didn't capture them all:

So Let's start by saying: Internet say stupid things about the scale of that ship. Wookiepedia say it's 21,5 meters. Wrong! If You say Boba Fett mesure (5'10") like the actor mesure with his suit on, then if you scale the ship so the Little Boba Fett on the picture fit your other Boba Fett of 5'10" then the ship is more like 25,64 meters.

Since I go accurate. I will then model the Slave 1 scale down to around 112,15 inches (284,79 cm)

I need the recreate the blueprint, because I don't find any movie accurate version of the slave 1.

I did a quick photoshop work. Using a 1:9 front view of a Slave One 3d model (not mine) and putting a 1:1 Boba Fett next to it. Also add a Small 1:9 BobaFett to expose the size comparaison. That baby will be huge!

Bigger is always better so I will be watching this with great interest.

Thanks for your interest

I attend to build it in a way I can, of course, store it in a locker-room. I need to build it also in a way I can carry it in Comiccon and other geekshows.

Since you are going through all the trouble make it 1/6.

The New Sideshow Boba 12" coming in a few months is the best Boba Ever so I say go for 1/6

Ahahah yah.. You know.. No! That will add 56 inches to the length. Any way, I start developping all my future projects in that scale. At some point, I would like to sell some figures (of course, no licensed stuff). 1:6 is too big for desktop figures. but 1:9 are perfect under my screen so. I based everything on that scale now.

But yah I was considering that 1:6 scale. Because these SS Boba Fett are neat.

I found a better ref (straight for the DVD: ESB)

Note that the shot above is the matte painting of Slave-1. However, it is reversed.from left to right compared to the studio model

i.e. the front should be on the right and the back on the left like below

With the direction it is facing in that shot, we should be seeing the opposite side of it

It makes a significant difference in both surface details and dark green panel colors

The images you shared are the actual studio model or Plastic model from a company?

I plan to order a Slave 1 from Fine Molds to understand more the details on the starship

 

[JediMichael]

Wow, 9 feet, that should be awesome. I'd love to have a giant 10 or more foot tall AT-AT....and better yet, a full sized one that I could live in.....Rey had the right idea.

 

[joberg]

Bigatures are my thing also...Eager to see this baby take shape!!

 

[Scote]

Thanks for your interest guys. I will problably start CG with Boba Fett and blocking the cockpit. So I can plan the separate pieces for transportation. Then 3D print that and gradualy building the others parts. That can probably take 1-3 years. But it's a goal.

I think the cockpit windshield will by costy Like 3 feet tall.

Those are the actual studio model.

Modelers and magic had a lot of the studio model pictures, but the site seems to have been down for the last week or so. I can email you some of the pictures if you want. Just send me a PM

Crazy project. Good luck!

 

[Scote]

Stay with me guys. It will take shape and I will share cool orthographic view for you.

At Montreal Comiccon, I bought that model kit. I plan to mesures and convert to my scale.

I plan have a booth next year. I wont expose that piece because I don't have the space right now to fulfill that kind of scale. But I can do at least the cockpit for now.

 

[Borz666]

Don't use that kit for reference. Its all kinds of wrong
