I was able to catch up with a friend of mine today… industry maniac Gene Kozicki! The man that makes things happen! He has done so much for the Science Fiction industry that I simply could not list it all…. including some new and exciting event plans to be announced for January 2010! Now… the reason for this showing today is from his taking photos of Mr. Richard Edlund’s former REAL X-Wing fuselage casting. First shown on Art Andrew’s fantastic, and world known, Replica Prop Forum, these photos have made their way to StarWars.com as well as Gizmodo… and now here with his permission. Many of Mr. Edlund’s items were auctioned off recently and it is rumored that this piece of Star Wars history may now be in the collection of Mr. Gus Lopez. What a great piece to own! I am jealous!

So....

These photos were recently taken during the clearing out of Richard Edlund’s storage by my friends Gene Kozicki and Rob Mcfarlane.  They were doing this to restore some of the studio models to be displayed. In these two photos you can see how large the Command Sphere was of the Discovery from 2010 as Rob Mcfarlane sticks his head inside! What a joker!

Known Hollywood professional, and my mentor friend, Gene Kozicki recently had the honor of restoring a few of the studio models from 2010, among other things that Richard Edlund had in his storage area. He did a beautiful job indeed!
