Completed life size Maximilian from The Black Hole

[RevChumley]

Disney's The Black Hole is one of my favorite childhood movies, I had always wanted to build Maximilian, but just never got around to it.

Last year I finally just said screw it, I'm building him. I did him out of foam, with a remote controlled head and death blade.

How do you have him displayed to achieve the floating effect?

He's on a metal pole that fits into the wheel base from a old desk chair. I just rolled him around with me.

Way cool.

Next project, 1:1 scale Cygnus. Right?

That's so cool!
He always scared the hell out of me as a kid.

Do you have blueprints of the head of him. I would love to build that and include it on my messy SciFi Room. I always wanted to build a V.I.N.C.E.N.T. maybe that can be my first big build in my new shop. The Black Hole was a gateway movie into the SciFi world.

Thanks for the memories.

Awesome work! You have nailed the colours and the rotating blades are a surprising gimmick.

I don't unfortunately, it was a full scratch build so I just made it up as I went along.

You did a great job. Gives me an excuse to buy the movie and do my own "Research".
Me: Honey I need to buy another movie for research!
Wife: Riiiiggghhhtttt

Love the precision of your foam cutting. First rate.

This is amazing. I love how terrifying he looks. 11/10. I've loved this film since I was a kid and you've done an amazing job of capturing the characters essences. Bravo <3

Are you planning to keep him or sell him? I’d be interested.
