Yes, it's a cool looking craft, but I have always been skeptical of the "wings". They are squared off, they have no airfoil properties , they do not provides lift. technically, they are not "wings", they are just mounting posts for the weapons. Star Wars tech really doesn't make any practical sense. But, oh yeah, the ship looks cool af.

The TIE Interceptor is my favorite Imperial starfighter design (the Defender strikes me as too fan-fictiony with its overwrought design and ridiculous power creep). The B-Wing is also a very cool if strange ship with its gyroscopic rotating cockpit, while the A-Wing is like a mini sports car (super fast but just as dangerous to the pilot as its targets).

haha very cool. I didn't know how to build with materials when I first saw Star Wars but I did make ships out of plasticine. I got quite good at it but the temptation to play with it always took over and the models would end up getting trashed. But you're spot on that everything we did then had to be from memory. There was no way to go and see the movie again once it had run for a few weeks. Years would pass before you got another movie. There was no Internet go look up the designs. Much like you I'm still chasing the same dream only now I do it with 3D printing / painting.

Usually the diorama the kid builds with the car blends in with the surroundings. If you get a chance check those pictures out it’s amazing how real these diecast cars look with the real background.

FWIW, _Métal Hurlant_ , the French magazine from which _Heavy Metal_ got a lot of its content, was launched by comics artist Mœbius (Jean Giraud) et al. in 1974; he was definitely pioneering a lot of the "used future" aesthetic that would be so influential later. (Giraud contributed to early design work on _Alien_ and, while unable to work on the film, was often cited as a big influence on _Blade Runner_ .)

That's what I thought too. Biggs' X-Wing exploding is a very prominent shot in the film and an important story beat (after that, Luke is alone in the trench), so I can see them wanting to have a backup available.

That would be a steal. This might be one of the most valuable and rare important movie, cultural and original art sculptures of our time. I bet it’s actually worth well over $25M. It’s an iconic piece of history. How big and how much is the Star Wars brand worth? And this is THE original piece that started it from the model vision creator of the paradigm. #HolyGrailSciFiPiece

@@user-tb5ns7hc5i Maybe if this was a fully detailed screen used hero model... then maybe 10 figure prices would be realistic. But for a crudely / quickly done foam casting for use as a disposable pyro model? That seem like a rather lofty price prediction... But I suppose if you get two or three rich SW nerds into a bidding war, I guess anything is possible.

Amazing how they did all this stuff before everything became CGI. Though I can't believe it, all these years of watching Star Wars and I never noticed the different stripes on the back to identify each ship.

Yep! It was years after the fact that I realized the stripes indicated the callsign. Such a tiny detail, never explicitly describe on-camera -- but that has followed through movies, comics, book covers, video games, TV shows... Tiny little things that just make Star Wars that much more real.

It blows my mind that none of the REAL, screen-used Star Wars models I've ever seen would come close to winning a prize at an actual IPMS model contest. Gaps, paint splotches, glue marks, mold lines, they all exist on the real models, but they'd all drop the models out of the running in a contest. On one hand, it's a testament to the quality of modern model kits and how well people build them. On the other hand, I always use it as inspiration that "good enough is good enough" when I'm building a model. Rather than spending a week making sure everything is 100% seamless or the paint is 100% "accurate," I don't mind if my colors don't match exactly, or if you can see two parts that don't match perfectly. It reminds me that the hobby is fun, and I don't have to torture myself with it.

everything from star wars is such an amazing design. from uniforms to spaceships. it's like the designers crawled into my head and copied my tastes. unfortunately i found the uniforms and vehicles of the empire more fascinating than those of the rebels. especially the tidierium shuttle and the star destroyers and the at-at hit me. but i found the x-wing better than the tie fighter.
