UPDATE 1!! Battlestar ATLANTIA Presidential Shuttle – WIP by Marc Elkins



The beautiful work on the Atlantia Shuttle continues with professional artist Marc Elkins at the helm! Today you can see what he has done with the interior. Even after the top is permanently sealed shut, you will be able to view these amazing details through the windows. There will be cockpit glass placed in. I am not certain what material will be used yet. Marc’s attention to detail, even adding the more fine details, is amazing! I am very much looking forward to getting this in front of a blue screen!

Up for sale is a one of a kind kit version of the Master Replicas Millennium Falcon. This was a kit version of the falcon which was originally owned by Dean Dymerski and was built and painted by him. Dean was chosen by Master Replicas to do the paint masters which would be used by their factory in China to paint the other models. Dean is a master model builder and painter and this falcon is truly one of a kind. The production models all sat at a tilted display angle whereas this one was built to sit flat. IMO this is a much better angle to enjoy the shape and beauty of this model...

MPC Millennium Falcon by Marc Elkins


Who says the old MPC Falcon kit can’t look fantastic? Actually… I did until I began viewing the many fantastic builds these professional artists have made with them. I used to have one of these models hanging two feet above my bed so I could look at it all night long. I loved the design. As I became aware of it’s inadequacies, my fandom of that kit slowly went away as better kits emerged. Now… I am viewing many builds, like this one by Marc Elkins, that have renewed my faith in the challenged old kit. Marc proves here that the MPC can look fantastic! Once again the artists have proven that the quality of a kit makes little difference to those with creative minds. Fantastic!

Studio Scale A-Wing from the Hector Rosales Collection

Built by artist Michael Provenzano, then photographed by Kurt Kuhn (Kuhn Global) of Modeler’s Miniatures and Magic, this fantastic replica now resides in the collection of Mr. Hector Rosales!  As far as is known, this model is extremely rare being that it’s creative artist only produced a two himself, with parts for a third being sold to another artist. This is one of the two builds Michael Provenzano built himself. A wonderful piece for any collection.

Battlestar ATLANTIA Presidential Shuttle – WIP by Marc Elkins


Built from the old, studio scale SMT kit that world known modeler Alfred Wong mastered, this piece is being made into a shuttle we have never seen! After considering many different options, professional modeler Marc Elkins and I decided that because this piece was not studio accurate, but done extremely well by Alfred, we could make it the President’s shuttle from the Battlestar Atlantia…. one that was never seen in the original film or series that I can remember. Marc is actually including a full interior and has special markings that were released in a book from 1979 that had shown the different symbols of the different Battlestar’s of the 12 Colonies. This should be one unique piece for the collection when finished. I am looking forward to it!

Jim Creveling Battlestar Galactica Replica NOW in the Michael Plante Collection


Famed artist Jim Creveling…. his name screams BATTLESTAR GALACTICA! Why? Because he is considered to be the first person to replicate the amazing studio model from the 1978 film and original series! This model is one of the most complex built of it’s time, and it’s secrets were kept for a few decades other than to the few that had actually worked on it at Apogee. Jim had taken on the beast that everyone wanted, but was afraid to approach due to the magnificence in the amount of parts that needed identifying. Through massive study of the model’s photos, and the partial restoration of the original studio model by artist Mark Bradley (which is now owned and in the collection of Mr. Gary Cannavo SEEN HERE), Jim managed to come up with enough measurements and detail to build his own!

TITANTIC Shipwreck diorama by Marc Elkins


This piece is fantastic! Not only did Marc do the front hull wreckage that we are all usually view in museum settings, but he also included the rear hull as it actually sits on ocean floor of the Atlantic! After studying the wreckage site in photos for quite some time, Marc even replicated the way the the metal of the hull had bent and how it truly looks as seen from the deep sea ROV’s that have examined her resting place. Look closely on the rear hull and you will see hints of the propeller sticking out of the sea floor silt (which is made of concrete by the way). Beautiful and eerie at the same time.

Slave One by Marc Elkins


The Fine Molds kit if the infamous SLAVE ONE is noted as being the best available kit of that sip ever produced to date. Professional artist Marc Elkins agrees and shows just how fantastic it can look! One of the aspects I look for in an modeling artist is the ability to make realistic markings of weathering, damage, or simple oil drips. Carbon should look like carbon, and damage should look like damage…not just paint marks…. and Marc is an artist that has succeeded in producing such effects. This is a wonderful build!

A 1:350 Klingon Force! Models built by Marc Elkins inthe Kuhn Global / Modeler Magic Collection


This beautiful  set of models in 1:350 scale is quite impressive. The K’tinga is a formerly released kit of Richard Long, while the Bird’s of Prey are both the Round 2 releases that are currently available. The paint jobs on these three models is pristine as is the finished display. I really LOVE the BOP in landing configuration that Marc did! Beautiful work!
