Our expert's notes

A set of Y-Wing thruster model miniature master pattern components from the production of George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Y-Wing starfighters were the ships of choice for the Rebel Alliance's Gold Squadron during the climactic Battle of Yavin.

These hand-fabricated pieces were made by the Industrial Light & Magic model shop during development of the Y-wing model miniatures. The pieces include a grey resin engine-steering master pattern; a grey aluminum-and-styrene engine-exhaust master pattern; and a clear injection-moulded polyurethane final side-detail piece. The master patterns were hand-built and then molded so that the assemblies could be cast in resin for faster assembly-line style construction of multiple models. The injection-moulded piece is a final completed part that ultimately went unused. Each exhibits signs of use, including traces of red moulding silicone rubber on the patterns. Dimensions (largest item): 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm (2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"); (smallest item): 9 cm x 4 cm x 1.5 cm (3 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1/2")

£1,000 - 1,500 Ω
