Miscellaneous Science Fiction Models

| This
page has some of my collection of Star Wars and other SF models that
I've built. I've done several cover paintings for Star Wars models, but
usually they have been just the space scape background elements, so
they are seen in my Space Art and SF page. |
 The Pan Am Orion Space Plane Model |
|
The Pan American Orion Space Plane from Stanley Kubrick's famous movie
based on Artur C. Clark's book 2001: A Space Odyssey was one of my
favorite space vehicles ever. It was a classic scene in the movie and I
was deep emerald green with jealosy when I saw that my friend Tom had
one. It was decades later as an adult that I finally treated myself to
a kit. Here I am depicting it with its cousin the supersonic Concorde
jet airliner, which really was (and still is) the closest thing that
ever came to the Orion. |
 AT-ST Walker from Star Wars AMT/ERTL This model is 6-1/4" tall |
 Alien Attacker from the movie Independance Day |
|
This is another simple kit with few parts and a struggle
for accuracy, but it was a fun thing to paint.
The area in front of the cockpit should have all kinds of hardware in
it, but it was created by an American model kit company to cash in on a
marketing license. When I compare it to the tediously detailed and
complete model kits of the Roden company in Russia, clearly this is
just a toy. But I still enjoyed it. |
 Scratch Built Milenium Falcon & Tie Fighter from Star Wars These two models were built more or less on Scale with my Star Wars Star Destroyer model. They are scratch built for gaming pieces. The Tie fighter is actually built on the head of a pin for the body. The Milenium Falcon is carved from wood and has a paper dish antenna. |
