Built by artist Bill Plewes, here are a few fantastic CG renders of the Tantive IV Blockade Runner from Star Wars Ep IV – A New Hope. Originally shown here back on December 28, 2008, Bill’s work on this Tantive has inspired tens of thousands of viewers around the world. He did a fantastic job!

Built from the fantastic Randy Cooper Kit for the David Jones Collection, famed industry artist Steve Neill joins the other artists who have built this kit to be beautiful! I absolutely love the engine lighting Steve achieve in this piece! I will never get tired of viewing Steve’s builds and creations!

Lasse Henning… a name associated with world class art! Today he shows one of his masterful videos that is PART 3 in the series of his documenting his amazing build of the Studio Scale Blockade Runner TANTIVE from 1977’s Star Wars. One think I very much like about this build is the fact that he has done much of this with his son. Lasse has not only proven to be an amazing artist in several ways, but also a fantastic father… and an accomplished film maker! View part 1 HERE, and part 2 HERE.

Here is what Lasse has to say…

The second video installment (yet third coverage installment) covering the making of my studio scale Tantive IV from Star Wars – A New Hope. The video focuses more on the mood of the build rather than any single technical aspect.

January 24, 2011 UPDATE!!

To contact Chris Kelley direct regarding this Kit, please click his banner link below…

I am extremely anxious for this fantastic kit’s release. Chris has been working extremely hard to get the detail accurate for the Return of the Jedi version of the Blockade Runner. Many don’t realize how different it is. It has side guns… a different paint scheme, and even different gun mounts and detail. Here are the most recent photos followed by reference of the actual studio model Chris is using to replicate it’s details…

And now some of the reference being used for detail…

Nov. 18, 2010 UPDATE!!

Getting even closer to it’s release, Professional Model Maker Chris Kelley has an update to show his commitment of excellence on this kit...

Long before Stefan built his 1:350 Runner… he built the beautiful Randy Cooper kit to look like a filming miniature! His weathering is, as usual, masterful as is the fit and finish! I am a huge fan of professional artist Stefan Hacker!

This beautiful piece was scratch built by master modeler Stefan Hacker! The detail is OUTSTANDING as is the fit and finish of this well known design! At 1:350 scale it is about 8-9 inches shorter than the 27 inch Randy Cooper kit, but is to scale with so many popular kits it may be displayed next to! I absolutely love what Stefan has done here. Fantastic work!

I have the great honor of introducing yet another talent to this Gallery…. Modeler Robert T. Cass! As you can see, Robert’s talents are most excellent with tiny miniatures in making them look larger than they actually are! His painting of panels and weathering have really brought these tiny masterpieces to life! Built from Sci-Fi Dynamics of ANIGRAND Kits, these are fantastic for display! I look forward to showing much more of Mr. Cass’s works in the near future! Most excellent!
