Recently I came across more work from semi-retired industry artist Jim Davidson. This time he is tackling the studio scale USS Enterprise REFIT from Star Trek The Motion Picture! Building it from the Timeslip Creations kit parts, Jim is currently working on the fitment of the kit to the armature he built to hold this behemoth. We shall be showing more on this fantastic build as it comes together.
BELOW: Photos of the of the Filming Model to be replicated.

Here is the completed final version of the Jason and the Argonauts skeleton stop motion puppet replica, the old pics still displayed on Modeler Magic were of the prototype which was much rougher. These new pics are of a whole new puppet complete with proper sword, shield and custom base.
Cheers,
Jim Davidson

Fantamation Studio’s Jim Davidson is absolutely a master of stop motion puppet recreation! We have shown many of his replicas and this one equally blows me away! Beautiful work!
Just wanted to share my latest puppet replica. The unfinished sword (just needs final paint) is the “Jason” style and the shield is the “7th Voyage” one, there will be a “Jason” style shield as well as a “7th Voyage” style sword.
Cheers,
Jim Davidson

Fantamation Studio owner, artist Jim Davidson sculpts TALOS!! This beautiful stop motion puppet really brings back memories!
“I wanted to share some pics of my studio scale stop motion puppet replica of Talos. After months of research and countless hours of sculpting work, I’ve managed to get this replica to being within at least 95% accurate to the original puppet.”

I’m looking to trade my molds of a screen used 1/6th scale Hind helicopter used in the Tom Hanks film Charlie Wilson’s War for something studio scale in the star wars or star trek genre…… I have all the molds for every part and weapon of the copter as well as the vac-form bucs for the clear canopy.
Here are a few pics of the model on set, I also have the main rotor and one main rotor blade.

A collaboration by Filmmakers/Visual Effects Artists: Joe Schultz and Jim Davidson to create new stop motion footage and edit it into the “The Empire Strikes Back,” fleshing out the “Wampa Attack” sequence and matching traditional stop motion animation techniques and esthetics used by ILM in the late 1970’s, while taking advantage of digital technology available today...
