Dune movie sandcrawler

[chewie25]

Hello,

I'm looking for pics of the original Sancrawler from the Dune movie ?
It would be a great help to make my own replica of this original sand vehicle.
Thank you to anybody able to give me pics or links.

Bye.

Hi,

Yes, they have done a not too bad kit. But it's poor in detail in comparison of the box art : panels, rivets, ... So i guess it's underdetailed than the prop.
So, to improve the level of details and paint it, I need original pics.

Thank you for help.

Christophe

I don't know if it will help much but have you seen this site?

Thanks Andrew,

It's a site I found some hours ago.
Not the pics I'm looking for, but a lot of new informations like size and details of the Harvester model (its color is the same I'll have to use for Sandcrawler).
The sancrawler appears only 2 seconds in the movie and is certainly a very little size model. I hope there are some pics on the Web.

Thanks a lot.
Bye.

For what it's worth, Revell did have plans to release a sandcrawler/spice harvester, but they never officially released it.

I would have loved a harvester! Real shame they never did it.

However Christophe is talking about the 'sandcrawler', which is a little buggy which is seen scooting up the ramp into the back of the harvester. It's easily missed! There was a Revell kit of it as well as a toy.

And yet for the harvester... nothing... :confused

Ahhh, ok, I didn't know those things had a name.:redface

I made a 3D model of it recently from the very few images I managed to track down online - happy to share them with you!
Here's My model (and I have lots of other models I have made from Dune - see My blog - some based on the original blueprints that I was able to procure)

Take a look at:

Some nice pics in there.

I scratch-built one of these for an on-line contest a few years ago:

Starship Modeler: 'The Other Guys' Sci-Fi Modeling Contest

The pics below are what I used to build my model: a behind-the-scenes shot of the Scout racing up the harvester's aft ramp, and the huge toy version that I won off Evilbay.
