Randy Cooper has noted that he took his Blockade Runner dimensions from the smaller model as far as I can recall. It was on his blog at one time I believe.

He commented that he took photocopies or scans from it from a model that Grant McCune had in the office.

I cant tell you much about the model but thats Dave Beasly who built it. Next time I see him I will ask about it.

Cool ! Maybe he will be able to say the truth about this model !

Could this be the Blockade Runner that was in the belly of the Satr Destroyer as seen from the escape pod?

I can tell you that the watch he is wearing is a 1969 Bulova Accutron SpaceView. I own the exact same watch...

Maybe I'm late to the party (new member), but if you watch RotJ, there are many Ertl X wings to be plainly seen in the scene where all of the ships exit hyperspace at Endor.

k.

Wow and I so close to recovering from my watch addiction.

Love the resistor.

This means that the moderator must move all MPC kit builds of the X Wing and Millennium Falcon over to the Studio Scale thread ... Right? :lol

Don't laugh!!! It's more true than funny! Anyone who's seen the making of starwars(from starwars to Jedi)knows that these are what they used for filming the diving,attacking and inverted shots. These were attached to long brass dowels,sometimes wood,and painted the same colour as the bluescreen background,and moved around to the storyboard so that they could do all these manuevers without inverting the camera,or damaging the big 24" inch models. This is why MPC was commissioned to make the 12" inch versions of these,and release them to the mass market. The only problem is,that not all studio scale stuff is huge! Studio scale is whatever scale model the studio used during the making of movie,and not a generic term! These MPC models are easy to build for the most part,despite them being incorrectly detailed. The big ones are used,so that they can capture the small details that a panaflex,or panavision camera would blur on a smaller model! These can't just be corrected with camera angles,or lighting!
