This piece was originally shown on Modelers Miniatures & Magic back on April 3, 2011… and I felt it a great build. Enough so to refresh it to the front page!

Australian artist Paul Nyul is back with this beautiful build of the KORBANTH offered Super Star Destroyer! I can never get enough of the Star Destroyer, and Paul very much knows the ‘look’ these predators must have to achieve the terror they place in the hearts of those they dominate. The detail on this piece is stunning! Nicely done.. again by artist Paul Nyul!

Built from the fantastic MSLZ22 Patterns, Richard Long is doing 3 or 4 of these beautiful, giant AT-AT’s for a 30 foot HOTH display! The snow and weathering added on this piece really makes it pop! What can I say about this other than WOW!! Plus…. I am jealous!!!! What a beautiful job by all involved in it’s creation!

SOLD!!

Star Wars – The Empire Strikes Back

T-47 SNOWSPEEDER

This hand crafted piece is 25 inches in length! It has moving Air Brake Panels, Revolving rear gun, and open fuselage paneling for realism! Painted to resemble Wedge’s Speeder in The Empire Strikes Back… this is a deal of a lifetime!

This is what Chris has to say of this piece…

Hey guys, I want to broaden my model building, by learning how to cast pieces, and vaccuform. My next build will include my first crack at these two techniques. Unfortunately, my job only pays for bills, so my hobby needs to be funded on the side. So I am selling my very first scratch built model of the Snowspeeder so I can pay for supplies. If you are interested then just email me at morsesith21@aol.com. For those who didn’t see my WIP thread, ...

Built by famed modeler R.L. Bleecker, then photographed by Kurt Kuhn (Kuhn Global) of Modeler’s Miniatures and Magic, this fantastic Empire Strikes Back Studio Cloud Car replica now resides in the collection of Mr. Hector Rosales. This is the actual replica of which it’s photos were authorized by Lucas to be used for the art work of Chris Trevas for Star Wars Celebration V a few years ago. You may view that artwork HERE. This is a beautiful piece!

MMM Gallery/Museum Appraised Value of $2,500 U.S.

Built for a client back in 2010 to resemble the actual stop motion filming model used in Star Wars – The Empire Strikes Back, famed artist Jason Eaton again shows us a build that truly lets one know why he is one of the world’s finest model artists today. This piece is fantastic from it’s positioning… to it’s perfectly weathered paint job! A beautiful replica!

Here is what Jason has to say of this piece…

This is a pretty dang accurate recreation I made of the stop-motion AT-ST from The Empire Strikes Back for a client in 2010. This model, as it exists today, is stripped down to almost nothing – the remnants of the details on the head, the metal armature, and the remnants of the feet...

I have the great pleasure of introducing another fantastic artist… from Australia… artist Matt Craig! Showing his first piece today, he has decided to show the 38 inch Super Star Destroyer that he built from the KORBANTH Kit. It’s kit seller, Randy Johnson stated to Matt that it is one of the best he has seen built to date! It certainly is a fantastic site to behold!

This is what artist Matt Craig has to tell of his creation….

Major modifications were:

• Thinning the brim trenches to bring the upper and lower hulls closer together
• Completely rebuilding the six ‘steering’ engines (3 per side)
• Scratch building a new bridge structure using a micro machines Star Destroyer bridge as a base and adding styrene card, photo-etch and Swarovski crystals (sensor domes)
• Re-aligning all the super-str...

Originally shown here back in December of 2008, just one month into this Gallery’s beginnings, CG Artist Jas Hodge has contacted me with major updates to this fantastic piece (of the renders we had shown in 2008) that he accomplished back in 2006! I have to say that this artist’s work is extremely impressive and I am honored to be able to show them here on Modeler’s Miniature’s & Magic. I can’t wait to see the piece completed with interior…. as Mr. Hodge states…

The pics below were the last updates I did for the model before putting it on hold (MAY 2006), … When I get back to it, no doubt I’ll improve it some more, and will have a fully detailed Interior … When completed I hope to have a highly detailed digital replica of the Movie Miniature, (including Interiors) based from my own collect...

I love introducing new talent to this Gallery…. and this is indeed one. Artist Antonio Carrozzini shows us his first piece… a completely free sculpted Taun Taun with Han Solo riding it. This is not the amazing Stop Motion Puppet Replica that had been offered by famed artist Jim Davidson of FANTAMATION Studio, but a real hand sculpt! Making it very impressive to me! Nicely done!

Aside from famed artist Phil Tippet, I have only seen one other do something like this…which makes this a real treat to view! I have the great honor of introducing artist Scott Peery to this Gallery. Showing first his amazing scratch made, fully articulating stop motion puppet of the Tauntaun seen in Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, this piece is shear brilliance! These types of Replicas are so completely rare that I must tell the artists who do them how much I appreciate their talents. This is a wonderful piece by artist Scott Peery. I am looking forward to showing more of his work.
