Mystery 10 – Jason Eaton’s Movie Miniatures RESTORATION: ILM’s Master Pattern of the PYRO X-Wing

Jason Eaton’s work in the industry, as well as the private sector, has been amazing! Like many of us, he too was a Star Wars fan when he was young, and today he is involved with the RESTORATION work of several miniatures made for the films we all grew up admiring! How fantastic is that?!! Jason’s world-class level artistry has allowed him to be intertwined with the models that originally inspired him to become an artist. Like this ILM Master Pattern of the PYRO X-Wing he restored….. wow! I remember viewing photos of this fuselage pattern broken down into it’s right and left parts so many years ago, and here it is! You can READ THE BACK-STORY of this fantastic restoration on Jason’s MYSTERY 10 site, just as you can see the other restoration models he has done...

MARIOMAKER! More FLINTSTONES Fun!

The BBQ was battery operated. It had a spinning cylinder with tiny mirror reflectors on it, so as it lit up, the reflectors simulated a roasting fire from below.

The house had an opening door and inside, you can see the interior with a sofa, rug and TV that lit up. There was a slide of the Jetsons displayed on the screen.

I sculpted the figures out of super sculpty while my coworkers helped with sculpting trees, poured resin into the hot tub, etc. House was sculpted and carved out of foam. Without their help, it would have been impossible to complete the task in time for the wedding.

The vacuum formed floor had to be removed before the cake underneath can be cut...

MARIOMAKER – The Flintstones Car!

Here is my Flintstone car I built in the late 80’s. The car is mostly made from foam and super sculpey. The wheels, seats and dashboard were foam, while the hard body was super sculpey.

What is great about this Flintstone car is that is was part of my massive wedding cake. It also had the house, Barney, Fred, Wilma and Dino. It was a complete diorama. The base was so large, it had to be vacuum formed at ILM since they had the biggest machine. The diorama was also lit up, especially where the BBQ was. There was a motor with batteries which lit the giant drumstick from below (like Disneyland would) and the house door opened and inside, you can see the interior of house with sofa, and TV with a lit up slide of the Jetsons. With 700 guests at my wedding, I needed a cake to rule them all.

SNEAK PEAK! Lee Ralph – Star Wars: Return of the Jedi… A-WING Maquette – WIP

This is a sneak peek at my ROTJ A wing studio Maquette replica. A few of these models were built by ILM before or during the fabrication of the much larger filming miniature. This model is comprised of two Tamiya 1/32 F14 hulls, that are cut in half and rejoined. Along with the engines from the Hasegawa 1/32 F16. Various other parts from each of these kits are used to create the form. Obviously due to very limed reference of these crude models, some embellishment is required, but it made it all the more fun, some areas i just chose to go my own way and tidy up somewhat in comparison to the ILM model...

MYSTERY 10 – Jason Eaton’s 1/24 Johnston/Gawley Early Mock-Up TIE FIGHTER

My second “Star Wars Sketchbook” model is a mix of Joe Johnston art and the blueprints drawn by Steve Gawley. Of note, the very earliest TIE Fighter mock-up by ILM feature these more-segmented wings, so it’s really cool to bring this particular early iteration to life.

1976 Death Star Tower – Restoration by Jason Eaton

This is a screen used Death Star Tower, built by ILM for the original Star Wars. I restored it for Chris Casady, who worked on the film. It was missing a gun, which I fabricated using the same parts used originally, and painted/weathered ever so slightly to match the existing piece. It is surprisingly light as it is made out of biscuit foam, and is actually two different tower fragments presented as a whole (the towers were either grey or tan). This was truly a pleasure and an honor to work on!

ILM Star Wars Ep7 The Force Awakens DIGITAL MODELS (images for FATHEAD) shared by Daniel Broadway

A huge thank you to Daniel Broadway for releasing these fantastic photos for us all of the Episode 7 digital models!! These are the FATHEAD images for the amazing wall art they offer. I can tell you all…. these will all be built… large and ready to view in our Gallery. I am absolutely positive Disney will be showing off these new designs in all of their Parks around the world soon enough.

Because there are no actual physical models being used for the ships in The Force Awakens, very high quality CG model assets were made for the film by Industrial Light and Magic. To help with reference, here are some ULTRA high res renders of ILM’s assets.
