Scott Peterson pays tribute to Ralph McQuarrie ...

And it is with a representation under LDD of the model of Y-Wing designed by Colin Cantwell (BTL-P1 Y-Wing Prototype) painted by Ralph mcquarrie, official illustrator of the Star Wars saga who died recently, that Scott Peterson pays tribute in his own way to this artist much appreciated by fans.

Scott Peterson is also at the origin of an interesting Cuusoo project revolving around the lightsabers of the saga and whose I was talking to you a few weeks ago.

This is from original illustrations by Ralph mcquarrie that this rather gifted MOCeur reconstructed this original model of the Y-Wing which is the ancestor of the one we all know. I have read elsewhere that the bubble covering the space dedicated to the shooter had been abandoned on the final model due to constraints linked to the special effects techniques of the time, which did not allow this transparent canopy to be correctly embedded.

To see more about this creation under LDD which should quickly materialize as a model based on real bricks as indicated by Scott Peterson, it's on the flickr gallery of the latter that it happens.
