It may not look like much...

but it's got it where it counts.

This may not look a whole lot different from the last render I posted of the Falcon's ESB interior, but believe me, there's a lot of new work in there. Those two lower panels on Chewie's side are now reasonably complete. One or two greebles I had to mostly guess, but on the whole it's fairly accurate to the real deal.

There goes another one...

Hold your fire, there're no life forms aboard.

maximum diameter is 7' based on a 311' Blockade Runner.

The main components of the engines were kitbashed from online model of a couple Saturn V rocket stages, but the rest is all original.

proportions and measurements of the main body were found on the The RPF

Speeders of Mos Eisley

All four speeders that appear in Mos Eisley are pictured here.

technically you could say that the speeder on the far right is the Lars Family Speeder seen in Luke's garage, and that it needs a different paint job to be its Mos Eisley cousin, but that's splitting hairs. You could also say that Luke's own speeder is missing, but I haven't modeled it yet. Either way, I'm pretty happy with this little spread of obscure vehicles!

note: the Void-Spider and Mobquet speeders on the left both need complete paintjobs (which is a windmill for another day, so to speak) The other two are also in need of some dirtying up. 

a million points to them as can point out the one other place in A New Hope where the Ubrikkian Speeder appears, other than outside the cantina (a hint, it appears upside down)

Two for One Deal

On a roll here. Another speeder knocked off my list; the "Mobquet" Speeder. The guy on the right is only partially visible in two scenes at Mos Eisley. One is parked outside the cantina, and another is seen as Luke is selling his speeder. The ship on the left is the "Ubrickkian" Speeder, which supposedly gets its name as a tribute to Stanley Kubrick. This one I've had a model of for a while, but I cemented some parts on it.

(look to the far left for the "Mobquet Speeder")



Both of these appeared in the same Balantine Books publication with the Void-Spider in the previous post.

Void-Spider TX-3

An update to my laundry list, and one more Mos Eisley background craft done. We see this one for all of a few frames as Luke is hopping out his speeder to shoo away a few Jawas.

The blueprints have been available from Balantine Books since soon after the ANH came out, but the legs and engine don't feature in them. A few modifications were made before filming. Notably, the feet of this craft are tread teeth from the full scale set of the Jawa Sandcrawler. The engines look like more scrap from an aircraft junkyard, but it beats me what they're from. 

There will be no one to stop us this time.

my god... what kind of can of worms have I opened this time?
