Battle of Yavin IV |
|
The X-Wing, Y-Wing and TIE/Fighter are from Fine Molds, and the TIE/Advanced is from Bandai. All are in 1/72 scale and painted with acrylics and weathered with oils. The surface of the Death Star was scratchbuilt (the usual cannibalization from other kits, bottle caps, styrene, electronic pieces etc.) The lit starfield background was made from plywood, LED strips, a white semi-transparent pvc panel and a black matte cardboard with hundreds of pinholes for the stars. Particular attention was dedicated to hide the supports. The X-Wing and TIE supports are made from little black carbon fibre tubes, nearly invisible in front of the black background. The Y-Wing support is a thin steel rod inserted in the Death Star surface behind the model.
