Our expert's notes

A medium altitude four-panel Death Star surface from George Lucas' sci-fi classic Star Wars: A New Hope. This piece was used as part of a miniature set of the Death Star's massive surface and was used for medium altitude shots when fighters flew over the Imperial station during the Rebel assault. Designed and built by Industrial Light & Magic's model miniature department, the construction of the Death Star miniatures was a massive undertaking as the sequence called for a vast battlefield consisting of individually unique surface panels.

Constructed of dense biscuit foam, the surface consists of four connected squares decorated with cast greeblies to create an industrial patchwork of parts. The piece is painted industrial grey. The surface shows minor wear due to production use and age, with some chipping to the biscuit foam, but the miniature remains in very good condition. Dimensions: 15 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm (6" x 6" x 2 ¼")

Estimate: £2000 - £3000
