Has anyone attempted the ships from The Fith Element? The Mondashawan ship, or perhaps the baytle ship? Or the Flohston "cruise ship"?

Re: Screen-used prop worth
And frankly, is there any reference material out there on these?

For reference, here's a great book to start with:

For the Phloston Paradise cruise ship there are some shots from a display in Paris in the 90s. I've seen bugger all else apart from what's in the art books, but can't recall whether there were model shots in those, I'll have a look tonight.
The cruise ship would be a sod to do, so would the Mondoshawan one. I like Zorg's ship and the bad guy's fighters, they wouldn't be too much of a challenge.

Someone built a FLohston cruise ship two years ago or so at some model convention, was pretty cool from what i remember. Im working on 1/2 scale size of this ship, will be just about over 4 feet long. Not much for info on it on the net. Ive gotten enough pictures of it and drawn up a 3d model of it too for the framework. Also was in contact and got info from one of the model makers who helped make the actual model. Right now im working on the skeleton framework of it. Someone here had some side casting details but the guy was totally unreliable, procrastinated DB:unsure. Once i start to skin it ill post pics of it.

The battleship I think would be one of the more realistically doable subjects, unlike the Mondashawan ship, for example.
Too bad the detail part castings fell through.
Your comments on that reminded me, coincidentally - I'd dropped you a PM on the X parts a couple weeks back but haven't heard back from you, so I sent you another PM... Shoot me an email.

I'm starting to build 16'' long models of the taxi and police car - which I believe is studio scale.
I've been looking for reference on and off for a year and have had little or no success.
Even the book mentioned 'The Story of the Fifth Element' has hardly anything on any of the models.
Stanley Kubrick wasn't this secrative!

wow, way to hold a grudge dude. Now I remember why you're on my ignore list.
So, being in the middle of a cross country move while working a full time job makes me an unreliable procrastinator? You left out the details about how you wanted everything for free, and were an annoying little weiner in every pm you sent. I think if you ask anyone on the RPF, I'm one of the more giving members here, with a LOT of behind the scenes intel that I have provided to people who ask with a little bit of politeness and patience.
But hey, that would be telling. Right?

Well since your airing out, first off you offered a pic of the side detail of the ship, nothing more and i would have been happy with that. I then asked you as months went by how much for a copy of the piece of the side detail, and i had said i would be willing to pay. No where did i say i want it for free. I have all your pms to me and me to you so im happy to to post them if you like. I was very polite and patient, but when the weeks dragged on, then went to month after month. You kept me hanging each and every time with another pm. How long would i have waited, a year? I was polite each and every pm. I only pmed you every few weeks or so. Why offer something then don't follow thru. You had time to post on here, sell stuff on here while you were moving and working full time. Btw you never mentioned moving. Everyone works full time and still builds/sells stuff on the side. This was originally for a couple pictures, not reproducing the death star. :rolleyes Don't offer something if your not going to follow thru. You turned to be a real dick/tool and then some in the pms. Grow up little kid, can see your real mature in posting and in the last pms:rolleyes. No wonder you didn't follow thru.:thumbsdown
Here's my orginal post in 08' where you actually volunteered to take some pics and post them :unsure Five months later your last pm to me and no pics. So yea that makes you a unreliable procrastinator and now a liar according to your post
thumbsup Live by your quotes btw, ""DON'T SELL SOMETHING YOU DON'T HAVE!!!!!!!" cept yours should be "DONT VOLUNTEER AND THEN DONT FOLLOW THRU" DeshBaghttp://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=54536
ps. How old are you, using the word wiener wow
rolleyes real mature. If i wanted to step in your grade school mentality i wouldn't go any farther then look in your profile. Now there's a real wiener...lol
