While this piece was converted from the Hasbro toy by MTM Studio back in 2007, I managed to photograph it back in 2008, and then show it here on Modeler Magic January 14, 2009. The design was originally done for the Star Wars Prequels by ILM artist, and now Director, Warren Fu. I loved this design so much that I had to have one in the collection to show. You can even see General Grievous inside the fighter. The design is striking, and it’s lines very reminiscent of very early Art-Deco styling from the Machine Age (the 1920’s) of the United States. The gold used on this piece really brought it to life along with the metallic weathering and real metal guns...

A little over a decade ago, a talented artist created something for me from the concept artwork of ILM artist Warren Fu. It is a design that I thought quite fantastic, and sadly it did not make the cut for the STAR WARS Prequel Films (as it was designed for Return of the Sith). Never the less…. this was the first to be replicated from Warren’s concept… and it was done in 1/18 scale. Another was made in a smaller scale a year or so later by famed artist Lasse Henning. In this one, we placed Captain Rex in the pilot seat, as I thought it appropriate to do so given the time line this fighter represented. I love this piece…. and it shall not be left behind in any less featured ship designs. This one is the only one in known existence in this size.

Here is some of the fantastic concept art being used for Terminator Salvation. Artists like Warren Fu, Christian Alzmann, Victor Martinez and Martin Laing definitely pushed the limits of design with these new Terminators. Some of them are very H.R. Giger like in shape and form. Very menacing indeed! I am looking forward to the Movie!
