27 Inch Cooper Rebel Blockade Runner – Tantive IV

Randy Cooper is well known in the industry as an outstanding model and prop maker for many films we have viewed. When he patterned this Tantive, I was all over it! This piece was built by R.L. Bleecker, and even utilized by Lucasfilm when they asked me to take a specific blue screen photo angle of it, in very specific lighting. They would use my photo to create a painting by Chris Trevas that would end up being a Star Wars TOPPS Card. Fantastic!

Star Trek TNG Romulan Warbird – Studio Scale Replica

This Romulan Warbird was the first replica attempt I has ever seen. Made by New York artist Michael Provenzano, we took quick photos of this model, and had issue with keeping reflection off of it’s surface. Michael donated this piece. It is quite nice. Michael did a great job with the complex shape of this model’s hull design.

This piece has a 2016 Modeler Magic appraised value of $4,000 USD
