Today I've started a new 1/18 "behind the scenes" diorama.  After the '76 ILM MODELSHOP diorama which I've finished
 some weeks ago (http://maxx-replicas.jimdo.com/projekte-2011-2014/76-ilm-modelshop/), this time I try to do something
from EP V  ;)

Part 1: the Panavision R200 with tripod



More soon...

That's awesome! I see George is ready to make some movies ;) "Quiet on the set!" Great work!

Thanks  :) :)

And here's the next camera: A Vistavion Reflex Camera. This camera is unique and
was especially developed and built for the Hoth stop-motion shots in EP V

I don't know where my comments went for the first image, but I did get that one on the front page. That is twice this week my comments have disappeared.

Needless to say I think this is fantastic. Off to share this second image.

Most impressive indeed. And you make all these cameras from scratch using styrene/plasticard? Awesome work, man.


Also took a quick look at your B-Wing conversion. Love the attention to detail already on the panels on the fuselage.

You know, what is cool about the shipyards is how often you will see something that someone here has created and think "that's the coolest thing I have ever seen"
We get that a lot here. Its awesome!
very well done

Yes, all the filming equipment is scratch built - no 3D printing  ;)

Here are some new pictures:





This is only a test-part to check out how to make the Hoth survace:
