About the programme
Before CGI took over visual effects, strange new worlds and galaxies far far away were visited with the aid of miniatures. Most of these were scratch built from plastic, metal and wood, in addition to ‘kit bashing’, the process of using model kit parts to create new shapes and uses.
Join Lee Stringer in this talk on Studio Scale Models, exploring how Star Wars’ Millenium Falcon was made from Car Engines and Panzer Tanks, and how hobbyist model makes now recreate the miniature from Film & TV. Anyone with an interest in film/TV miniatures is welcome.
