I have to say… I LOVE THIS BUILD!!! :D

Bob did such a FANTASTIC job on this Randy Cooper kit! He nearly matched EVERY marking to the original 6 footer right down to the pin-up Playboy poster inside the bridge area! ;)

It is photo intensive, but I just had to post every tiny angle! LOLOLOLOL... I know I know.... silly.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ROBERT!!! Thank You My Friend!!! :D :D :D

Enjoy the other photos here…

[Kuhn Global]

DAVE!!! :D Thank you my friend! :D

It's great to have you here! :D

I REALLY DO LOVE what Bob did to this bird! I may take new photos of the beastie after returning one of the lights I wanted to use that burned out just before the shoot. The new light will make the bird look more like the movie lighting and compsiting in the finished film. ;)

[robn1]

Outstanding job, OOT. That's a beautiful build.
I've enjoyed seeing all the pieces in your collection Kurt,
thanks for sharing them with us!

[Raytheon]

This bluescreen gig is just never going to get old :D

Absolutely top notch build there OOT and on the nail photography. Onward with the new lighting pictures Kurt! Lass like this deserves it, she's a beauty.

What a great model!Is the escape pod removeble?

[RKW]

I couldn't decide which one to post so I included both versions.

RKW... Awesome!

Kaoru.... no, the Escape Pods are permanently affixed. ;)

[Kuhn Global]

HOLY COMPOSITES BATMAN!!!!!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:


DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! :D :D 8) 8) 8) Those are SWEET!!!

You ARE the MAN!!!! :D Thank You! :D

I am sorry about the wrm lighting once again. I am not sure if I posted it here, but I had a 500 watt 'blue' light bulb that I had purchased just for this, and when lighting this beastie, it was like looking at a screen cap from the original movie! But the bulb blew out right before I began the shoot! And I didn't have a replacement! ARRRRRGHH! LOLOLOLOL

I may re-do this beastie with the replacement Bulb. ;)

Duuuuuuude... you actually used the explosion from Kaoru's photo! :eek: How do you DO that!? :D It is AWESOME!!!

[Kuhn Global]

I took a few more photos of the Blockade Runner this evening.

This time I used the appropriate "Blue" bulb lighting to create that "Star Wars"look.

Wow you got some really dramatic poses, they look fantastic. It looks more like the ship is in motion instead of just a static shot. Very nice work Kurt, you're really getting the hang of this.

[R L Bleecker]

Wow!! What a difference a bulb change makes...:eek:

[RKW]

Now we're talking!

So does this mean we can expect re-shoots of the other stuff?

[Talen]

wow..amazing what a change of bulb will do

[Kuhn Global]

Thanks guys! :D Yup... that bulb made all the difference! A more expesnive route, but well worth the look. ;)

The possibilities of re-shoots are most definite. ;) LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[manjp]

My ships escort your ship.

[R L Bleecker]

^ Nice!

Wow... now THAT looks like a screencap to me... just the right amount of blur and grain and washed-out tones. Looks Old-School composited. Right on!

[Kuhn Global]

WOW!!! :eek::eek::eek: DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!! :cool::cool::cool:

Kaoru! :D:D I am honored my friend! Thank you so much! :D

That is so KEWL!!!! :cool::cool::cool::cool:

[manjp]

Thank you Bob,Kurt and Photo Shop!

[Kuhn Global]

I received an email from Randy Cooper today. He asked to use the photos I have taken of this beastie that Bob built up for his instructional CD and Consular Ship Blog!

I am honored my friend! You may use what you like. :D

[R L Bleecker]

I'm pretty honored, too!

[rider]

It's certianly well deserved on the both of you. This ship has come out superb, and I'm sorry I missed the premiere, but better late than never, I had to have a go at playing.

[R L Bleecker]

Ooohhh... Nice work!

[Kuhn Global]

HOLY SMOKES!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Rider has returned!!! :cool::cool::cool::cool:

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!

That is SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!:eek::cool::D


I love em'!!! Thank You!!! :D

[rider]

Thank you as always for letting me play and its good to be back Kuhn sir ;)
Could not resist and had a go at the opening, but, we need a Star Destroyer ;)

I think it shows what a perfect job OOT achieved on this ship. Hope you all enjoy

[manjp]

Great!You'll need a hanger bay of the star destroyer.

[Kuhn Global]

OMG!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek: DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!

FRACKIN' AMAZING!!! I LOVE THEM!!! :D

As for the SD's... there are THREE being done for the collection this year. It sould be a nice display! ;)

I can't stop looking at the photos you did! Absolutely AMAZING!!

Thank you my friend! :D

[R L Bleecker]

Oh man.... Rider.... what can I say??

FAWWWWWWK!!!

[REL]

Very nice rider! I love the last one with the explosion, that's the first thing I thought of when Kurt took a pic of the ship at that angle.

[Apophis]

Cool!

[robn1]

WOW! Very cool!

[Kuhn Global]

Looks like Randy has made a mistake in crediting me for the actual build instead of Bob! :eek: I have written him an email to correct the problem as well as written a 'comment' on his Consular Ship Blog stating that Bob is indeed the builder of this masterpiece. :D I am certain it will be corrected. I think that Randy probably just had other things on his mind lately... like that BEASTIE SD!!! LOLOLOLOL. Even he states that his memory isn't that great these days...LOLOL... but is any of ours? ;)

[Kuhn Global]

ALL NEW PHOTOS ADDED AS THUMBNAILS IN POST 1 OF THIS THREAD on 3/25/08!!!

I promised Bob I would post them. ;)

I just LOVE this ship and how Bob brought it to life!!! :cool::cool::cool:

Thanks for looking!

[Boxster]

Jesus man, those are fracking awesome! Love the photoshop or whatever programmes you guys used. Beautiful photos from Kurt and beautiful built from Bob!

[R L Bleecker]

Thanks again.... you've really outdone yourself with your pic technique! It was a nice thing to wake up to!

[Papa Smurf]

WOWSERS! DuuuuuuDe! Amazing! You know, with this talent, and all the great builders on this site, what an amazing Film we could make! Imagine the possibilities. Screw CG, I still think 3D Models look much more realistic than even the latest CG work, my humble opinion of course. Why was "Alien" so freakin creepy and realistic? All models my fellow members. One of the last, "Great" Sci-Fi Films, released in 1979, before CG got a firm grip on the Industry. Just a Smurfy thought that crossed my little blue noggin.

How do you think ILM got started? Just a bunch of guys with talent, and a dream.

Cool stuff buddy! :)

[Boxster]

I have to agreed with you 100% there Papa Smurf.

I still do not enjoy looking at CGI ships. A real model ship on screen always will look more realistic.

[Scorpius]

Oooh, gorgeous!

[Kuhn Global]

LOLOLOL.... our own little ILM, eh? ;) KEWL!!! :D

Thanks for the kind words fellas! :D

Looks good..Kev

Link to thread (http://resinilluminati.com/showthread.php?t=4)

Enjoy the build threads while they last! Cuz after this month, I won't be doing them anymore. I just don't have the time, which is a good sign! Kurt will still do the finished blue screen stuff on anything I build for him and for anyone else's work, I will still post up built stuff... but build threads are a lot of work and they really slow me down. Besides, there are enough of them that anyone wanting to see how I put the stuff together has a lot to info out there already.

Thanks for looking!

I can certainly respect the decision about forgoing the documenting of the builds. It does take up a lot of resources sometimes and I agree you have generously posted plenty for us lackeys to learn from :D

Thank you

No no no... get it RIGHT, will ya? It's not 'lackeys'... it's...." hobbyist and junior-leaguers "

I HATE it when you get it all wrong like that! :eek:

[R L Bleecker]

^ Goddamn lackeys....
















:D

[rider]

No no no... get it RIGHT, will ya? It's not 'lackeys'... it's...." hobbyist and junior-leaguers "

I HATE it when you get it all wrong like that! :eek:

I do apologize. And indeed, to all our wonderful hobbyist and junior-leaguers here..(and the one lackey that is me) :grin:

[R L Bleecker]

By the way... I DO have a secret.

You know that dried-on crusty shit in EVERYBODY'S microwave? Well... to take care of that, take you a wad of paper towel, now dampen it... and then cook it for a few minutes in the nuke-itron. The steam generated helps soften up the crud and makes it easier for you to wipe it away.

[R L Bleecker]

I do apologize. And indeed, to all our wonderful hobbyist and junior-leaguers here..(and the one lackey that is me) :grin:

Thank you. You ARE forgiven. Now back to the kitchens for you, Boy!

[rider]

Lemme get my apron

[R L Bleecker]

What do you got for "icky toes?"

The microwave thing, I already use that one, but the toes...I got real problems.

Well... it's funny that you should mention that.

I myself was treating my own with witch-hazel, peroxide and baby powder... but then switched to Tinactin!

And now for the Blue Screen shots! ( and probably we knucklehead amateurs should get back on topic. )

[Kuhn Global]

what the heck?!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..... you guys! LOLOLOLOLOLOL
