"The Last Mission Of Gold Flight"

Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, May 6, 2004 12:22 AM

Hello everyone, I had a request over at the Starshipmodeler boards to show you my latest Star Wars Diorama. I hope everyone likes it.

The Y-Wings are from Scale Modeling Technologies, and I managed to obtain 2 Y-Wing kits before SMT was ordered to stop selling Star Wars stuff by Lucasfilm.

The Deathstar surface is cast out of resin from scratchbuilt styrene masters based on drawings found in 'The Star Wars Sketchbook'.

That is simply awesome! I agree with Rick, more pictures would be great.

It would be a real shame not to bring it to Wonderfest. No doubt if FSM is there they will take a lot of pics. If ANYTHING has a chance to break through the really thick wall keeping sci-fi kits out of the printed pages of FSM, it's Tony's work.

That is really awesome! Combine that with the death star tower dio and you're the king man, how long did it take you?

It took me close to 5 months to do. What took the longest was trying to make those darn tiles. I'm no master caster and I dread molding and casting stuff.

Great work, Tony! I'm so jealous. I wanted one of the SMT Y-Wings, but was too late. You made them look great!

Thanks Jimi.
It's definitely going to Wonderfest which is the reason why started building it in the first place.
I actually entered it in an IPMS model contest a few weekends ago along with it's sidekick TIE Fighter diorama and got 4 first place awards for it. My Ties came in second.
