This web page is dedicated to several special effect models that I'm currently working on. The first of the projects involves the creation of a 6 foot long Imperial Star Destroyer studio model. This model will be an exact, although smaller, replica of the 8.5 foot model built for The Empire Strikes Back. The model will contain three mount points, fully lit internal and external landing bays, three lit main engines, four lit emergency engines, and approximately 6,500 neon lit fiber optic windows. This project should be finished in about 2003.
After that, I'll start working on creating a 4'-6" long large scale section model of just the interior and exterior landing bays of the Star Destroyer, of which I've already completed a full size prototype. This model is needed in order to get several ultra close-up photographs of various ships interacting with the landing bays. Unfortunately, the landing bay areas on the full size Star Destroyer model simply won't be large enough to accommodate the shots. This model will use the already completed Star Destroyer blueprints as the guide to its construction.
