For all intents,and purposes this is my tribute to the ILM guys of the seventies. This is based on the four foot four inch ILM Model that was filmed,but never saw any screen time. This was originally a pet project of Ira Keeler,and Mike Fulmar that was shown to Lorne Peterson(ILM head modelshop head at the time)who showed it to George Lucas. It was then decided to be filmed.
Lorne Peterson was quoted as saying " The footage we filmed was too blurry for the smaller details that we wanted,but it would cost too much to reshoot it for no longer than it would be on screen."
This is the beginning stages of planning. I started out with the paper model for this. I had to start again,as this was too small for the original design specs. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
