Space Academy SEEKER by E. James Small

January 5, 2011 Posted in Miscellaneous Selections, Small Art Works - E. James Small

This was done a almost a decade ago by famed artist James Small! In 1977, half hour space shows became a craze… on Saturdays especially! One such show was Space Academy! One of the best parts of that show I can remember was the Seeker… the model that James mastered here. Even though I know Jim to be a world class model maker, I am always blown away with his skill.

Studio Scale X-Wing RED 4 built by Ian Lawrence

I first viewed the progress on this piece a few weeks ago. When I did, I noticed its origin was either that of the original Captain Cardboard kit, or possibly an actual ICONS Replicas original release back in the ’90’s. I now believe this body to be a re-build of an ICONS release which was made from a re-built casting of one of the actual Pyro models used in 1977’s Star Wars.

Ian never ceases to amaze me with his skills as a master, professional modeler. One of the beautiful additions to this piece was that which was taken away in the open paneling.. showing the interior hoses of the engineered X-Wing! Fantastic! Also…being this is RED 4 really made a difference...
