Luke Skywalker Empire Strikes Back Snow Speeder ITEM DESCRIPTION Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. The Snowspeeder will be decorated to exactly match the speeder designated as "Rogue One", Luke Skywalker's speeder in The Empire Strikes Back, including all markings, weathering, and battle damage. This will be accomplished using a combination of pad printing, decals, spray painting and hand painting. To ensure intricate detail and durability, many of the fine parts have been reproduced from injection molded plastic and cold cast resin. Rests on a cradle consisting of three clear, triangular acrylic supports topped with black rubber pads to protect the undercarriage of the speeder. The speeder will rest on the supports and will not be physically attached in any way. ¾ studio scale replica of the Snowspeeder. Item Size 16" x 14" x 4". Display size is 19" x 18" x 11". Background At the climax of the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, the Imperial forces appeared unstoppable. The battle appeared to be one-sided as the AT-AT Imperial walkers lumbered towards their intended targets unhindered by cannon fire or Rebel heavy blasters. However, the Rebels had another weapon in their arsenal: the modified T-47 airspeeder, known more commonly as the snowspeeder. These swift, two-man vehicles utilize repulsor-lift technology to hover above the ground. Two primary engines in the rear provide forward momentum, while a pilot and a rear gunner occupy the tiny cockpit in the center. In addition to two blaster cannons mounted atop the wings, this light-weight craft also carries a cannon/harpoon launcher in the rear. Using this harpoon and an attached tow-cable one of these small snowspeeders was able to topple over a mighty AT-AT. These fascinating vehicles were created by the ILM model crew in resin, metal, and plastic. T were several different sizes of miniature models created for filming. These ranged from tiny models only a few inches long, to a four-foot long model used for close-up shots like the scene when the foot of an AT-AT foot crushes Luke's Snowspeeder. Several full-sized speeder mockups were also created for action shots of the actors. Master Replicas focused on the 21-inch studio scale models that were used for most of the primary shots in the film. The models varied substantially in detailing and markings, so our designers sought out the model with the gray stripes that was used by Luke Skywalker. By comparing the archived models to screen grabs we were able to locate the exact model and used it as our master reference pattern. Our design team took hundreds of photographs of the prop and obtained color chips of the paint in order to create an exact match of the prop's coloring. Our designers took a digital scan of the model to capture the hundreds of surface details, including the blast patterns that were added to the models by the ILM crew during filming. This scan data was than recreated by our factory in CNC machined plastic and metal. The fuselage of the snowspeeder replica is cast in durable resin with numerous fine-detail parts reproduced in injection-molded ABS. For added strength the twin blaster cannons are recreated in machined aluminum with plastic detailing. Because the cockpit of the 21-inch studio model was not designed for close up shots, Master Replicas' designers worked with Lucasfilm to create a composite of both the studio model and full-size sets. The result is a replica that looks realistic and maintains the attention to detail expected by our collectors. The Master Replicas 3/4 studio-scale snowspeeder replica is a perfect balance of size, value and collectability. All items sold by Redford Films are new. Items are packaged well and shipped promptly.
