This home built scale model of an Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer was made by Fabio Delfino. It’s pretty stunning and even has a ton of tiny lights all over as well as sound. The model is based on the Star Wars: Dark Empire comic books and it was built with over 3000 pieces.
You are the man Fabio. You should definitely be working for the Empire.

Prepare yourself for some of the best and most beautiful Doctor Who art that you have seen in ages. This Dalek comic strip was published in the mid-1960s in Century 21 magazine. Beautiful isn’t it? Well you can see it all on Flickr. See you in a few hours!
You can find the complete The Dalek Chronicles comic on walt74’s Flickr page. Apparently they are scans from a recent magazine that collected the entire run. I just love it. This colorful artwork has flying saucers, futuristic cities, space scenes and more pulpy goodness. I wish more people did art in this style today.

You don’t see too many quality Star Trek items for the kitchen, but Etsy seller BlueFireEngraving offers a really cool cutting board and some coaster sets. The coaster sets feature images of the history of the USS Enterprise. They are made of bamboo and you get 6 coasters.
The cutting board also shows the history of our favorite starship. Just don’t get too absorbed in the various Enterprise ships while you are chopping vegetables. You don’t want to cut yourself.
If you are a fan of the Star Wars prequels, check out these fascinating and not-so-often-seen behind the scenes photos. Even if you hate the prequels, you can’t help but respect all of the hard work that went on behind the scenes of this final installment.
Yes it had a ton of CGI, but this movie also had some massive sets and a ton of prop work and models as can be seen in some of the images below.
See the full gallery here, along with some amazing concept art.
Look at the images below. Do these model of Sci-Fi ships look like paper to you? No way. They look like professional replicas. However, every single one of them is a papercraft creation. They were made by Japanese craftsman uhu02. I am just blown away by the level of detail and the fact that they don’t even look like paper.
He has created an X-Wing, a TIE Interceptor, Viper Mk2, 2001’s Orion and many more! This man is a true artist with paper.
Well, it’s 2015 so let’s see what Back To The Future 2 got right about the once future year that we are living in. Luckily for us, the folks at Stay Sourced have created this awesome infographic so that we can see how well the movie predicted the world as it is today.
I know one thing. We still don’t have any time traveling cars and the flux capacitor hasn’t been invented yet. Wait. Maybe that means the timeline has been changed! And Doc Brown never hit his head on the toilet! Great Scott!
Not just anyone can wear this ring. This is what the best and brightest strive for. The Starfleet Academy Class Ring! If you have what it takes, you can wear one. Maybe even Captain a starship one day. This is a 1:1 scale prop replica of the rings worn in the 2013 Star Trek Into Darkness film.
It was crafted from the actual screen-used ring and even comes in a custom lighted metal case with a clear topside window. Quantum Mechanix designed and produced the actual ring worn in the film. Now they are offering this one made using the same mold. No collection is complete without it.
As we wait to see what exactly a brand new all-female Ghostbusters movie looks like, check this out. This cosplay is the work of photographer Jason Fitzsimmons of GhostbustersNews.com with Maeghan Eyre. You can check out two more shoots here and here.
This cute photo shoot actually makes me kind of eager to see what the new movie has in store for us. Maeghan looks like an authentic Ghostbuster to me. She obviously had a great time with this.

Boba Fett didn’t originally start out with that design we know and love from Empire and Jedi. The original designs show a bounty hunter that looks closer to a Stormtrooper. Boba Fett’s design evolved during the design phase and eventually became the Mandalorian we know.
You can see the evolution below. It was still cool looking, but less defined. Not as unique. It definitely lacked character and presence. I’m glad it kept evolving, because the instant I saw Fett on screen, I knew this guy was not to be messed with. THIS was a bounty hunter that inspired fear.

Here we are in 2015 so it is definitely a good time to take a look at the 2015 glimpsed in Back to the Future II. It could have been even weirder. Some vintage concept art from the production has surfaced and these pieces show many designs that didn’t make the cut.
Tim Flattery, a veteran concept artist who helped create this then-future world, talked with Newsweek about the experience.
They certainly came up with a lot of wacky ideas. Had they left all of this in it probably would have been overwhelming. But it is awesome to get to see this stuff.
