Electric Indigo Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 The iconic promo shot of a TIE fighter chasing an X-Wing was maybe the first image I've seen from Star Wars. The thought of re-creating it with models was always in the back of my head, but was only turned into action decades later when it was ignited by the idea of putting X-Wing markings on the Shinden after I noticed the vaguely similar layout of the fuselages. The Shinden is the Hasegawa J7W1 kit, and I chose the Henschel Hs-132A from RS Models for the Imperial counterpart. The plan was to modify the kits as little as possible, so no double wings on the Shinden and only a bit more pronounced guns were added on the Henschel. This weekend I finally got just deep enough into Terragen to fabricate the cloud background for the shot. 47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 There were a lot of plastic models used as greeble in the films. Now they have come into the spotlight. Great ideas. Well executed. 10/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenBills Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 That is lovely! You did a great job of photographing the models as well as compositing them onto the background! You totally can't tell that they're a small scale! SB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
