Boba Fett Vs. Sarlacc

Boba Fett Vs. Sarlacc
Boba Fett may have fallen into the Sarlacc Pit in Return of The Jedi, but as we all know, that wasn’t the end of the bounty hunter. We know from the EU material that he survived, even if we didn’t get to see it on film. This artwork by DanLuVisi gives us a glimpse of his struggle. I mean, we all knew that Boba Fett wasn’t about to go down without a fight right? No way a Sarlacc is keeping him down. This art is all kinds of awesome.

Custom Mobile Suit Gundam Stormtrooper Figures

Custom Mobile Suit Gundam Stormtrooper Figures
As geeks we love a good mashup and this is a good one. Star Wars Stormtroopers and Darth Vader mashed up with Mobile Suit Gundam? Of course the results are going to be amazing. These custom-made Star Wars Gundam figures were created by Korean Gundam fan Kunho Noh. He basically took Stormtrooper models and modified them with Gundam armor. These are some hardcore Imperial lackeys. You can see some of his work below along with some video. These Stormtroopers look a lot more militaristic that’s for sure. I love all of the little weathering details on the armor.

2001: A Space Odyssey Blue Discovery Astronaut 1:6 Scale Space Suit

2001 A Space Odyssey Blue Discovery Astronaut 1 6 Scale Space Suit
So many things from 2001: A Space Odyssey are memorable: HAL 9000, The Pod, the Monolith. I have seen this movie about a thousand times and I am still impressed by all of the design work. Another memorable thing is the space suit. I just love how it looks. And the colors too.

Well, now you can own a 1:6 scale replica. The 2001: A Space Odyssey Blue Discovery Astronaut 1:6 Scale Space Suit is highly detailed and a real beauty. I for one, would love to have this displayed on my desk.

Handmade Wooden USS Enterprise Model

Handmade Wooden USS Enterprise Model
Artist Kretschmer Kreativ built this stunningly beautiful replica model of the USS Enterprise entirely out of wood. All I can say is that this ship is some serious eye candy. A real class act. I can easily see this fitting in with the other ships in Captain Picard’s ready room. It is just so lovely.

It measures 36 inches and he used all natural wood grain with no paint at all. The different colors are different woods. Apparently he is selling this one for $3000., but if you want to build one the instructions are at the link.

The Wisdom Of Adventure Time Characters

The Wisdom Of Adventure Time Characters
Mark Collins created these awesome art pieces that show a few of the Adventure Time characters along with the wisdom that they dispense. Our heroes from the land of Ooo are pretty wise. You would be wise to heed their words.

Here we have Finn, Jake and Lumpy Space Princess all spouting their wisdom. Although LSP’s nugget of wisdom is debatable. I hope the artist creates more. There are so many good lines and wise phrases from the show.

Star Wars African Totem C-3PO

Star Wars African Totem C-3PO
Artist Evgeny Rusolovski created this awesome Star Wars African Totem version of C-3PO. This is certainly one of the most unique takes on the droid that I have seen in a while. I would love to see what the artist could do with other Star Wars characters as totems.

Totem or no totem, never tell me the odds. I bet this is what an Ewok created statue would look like by the time they have made temples and worshiped 3PO for many years.

Farscape Canvas Painting Of Rygel

Farscape Canvas Painting Of Rygel
I really miss Farscape, so I was excited to come across this painting based on the show. This painting was inspired by the painting on Farscape in season 1 that Zan makes of Rygel. It was made using over a dozen screen captures that were put together and carefully taken apart, then reassembled one color at a time to make it as accurate as possible. They did an awesome job.

Enemy Mine: SFX Miniatures

Enemy Mine SFX Miniatures
Enemy Mine was a movie that was so ahead of it’s time in so many ways. The story is timeless, the Special effects were great for it’s day and it came from a time when not everything had to be a blockbuster. You just tell a good solid story, you make the viewer care and you are done. This is a movie that stays with you long after you watch it. Could a movie that focuses on just two characters with limited effects even be made today? Probably not and that’s a damn shame.

The special effects that were in the movie looked amazing at the time. Check out some of this movie’s SFX miniatures and a few behind the scenes shots. What a special movie. It is really unique compared to most Science Fiction in that it has such heart and humanity while both characters are so far from home.
