Star Wars: ESB McQuarrie Concept Cloud Car 1/48 WIP

[joez2391]

Hey everyone, I have started working on a project I've wanted to tackle for a long time. I've always loved the McQuarrie concept art and the Cloud Car from Empire just has such a cool variation to it from what ended up on screen. This is designed from scratch and will be resin printed. Excited to see how this turns out

I like this design much better than what ended up on screen- sleeker shape and better balance of the elements.

 

[joberg]

Love it already

Thanks guys! I totally agree, i just love the extra vents and sharper details. What we got on screen was great too but the concepts were just awesome

i havent taken the dive into zBrush so no pilots yet! I would love to learn more organic modeling soon

Here is the finished model! Had a blast painting this one, it would be fun to do the alternative blue coloring as well but i wanted this to be more reminiscent of the final design. Hope you like it! I will be making kits available soon

Lovely model for sure; the paint job is top

This is awesome!! Would love to see pilots in it, or even like concept droids piloting it or something.

Thank you for the kind words! I have plans to learn zBrush in the near future so wouldnt count that out!

Lovely model for sure; the paint job is top

Thank you! It was a really fun one to paint

Looks great!

Thank you!

Thank you! Same here, would be a fun addition to add in some pilots

Looks great, lovely paint finish, what 3d printer are you using?

Thanks! I currently am using an Elegoo Jupiter and have an Elegoo Saturn 8k that should be set up soon too. The Jupiter is great, having the big build plate i was able to print all of the pieces in one go. I started out with the smaller Elegoo Mars Pro a few years ago, was a great printer but it took forever to print kits having to do them in batches.

Will this be available as a kit?

Yes it will be! I will be posting a link once the kits are ready to go
