Very original to take Ralph Mcquarrie concepts as a source of inspiration for your customs!

They look amazing. Great job, Chris. clapping

I was just looking at this a while ago and trying to remember where I'd seen the 21B with the skirt before. They show up in Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (1997) like that too, but there isn't a single photo of it online lol I always thought the design with the skirt came after the movies, because the legs were never shown in the movies, but that drawing does look contemporary with the film.

That Ralph drawing of the droids, however,, I am 90% sure that was done after the film for the portfolio book. I've got a big poster of that one at home. banana

Great work on all this stuff!

by **poncho** Mon May 21, 2018 3:50 pm

thanks for comments guys :-) it was fun making the 21b although it was tricky it had lots of fiddly bits but it turned out great and on display doesnt look out of place :-)
