Hey guys-- so while I am mostly a lightsaber guy, I do love me all OT models and props.
I am currently working on a show, and my EP/director is a guy pretty well known for collecting props and costumes from movies (horror mostly). But he does happen to have a few OT ship models. I have been to his house a dozen times and just assumed they were repros, but apparently they are actual ILM studio models shot and used int he film.
I don't know the pedigree or details like I would say looking at a lightsaber prop, but he has an X-Wing and Y-Wing...
And sitting on a shelf he has a Falcon. I looked it over, and I'm pretty sure this is the same 2 ft model seen in the Archives book that was made for ESB. Again, I'm not an expert so I couldn't say for sure... but to think this dude just has it sitting in his house and I got to touch it is pretty cool.
I wanted to take more, but I didn't want to be a rude house guest.
