A Zorgon spaceship half model miniature from Jon Favreau's Zathura: A Space Adventure. The Zorgons appeared outside the Budwing home in their ship before drawing their weapons to fire on the brothers. Production utilised model miniatures for the special effects shots of scenes in space.

An adaptation of the book Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg, the film acted as a standalone spin-off to Joe Johnston's 1995 film adaptation of Jumanji, another book by Allsburg. Zathura was nominated for two Saturn Awards: Best Fantasy Film and Best Performance by a Younger Actor (for Josh Hutcherson's performance).

Made by the visual effects company Sony Pictures Imageworks, this lot consists of one half of a model miniature spaceship. As the ship would only be shot from one side, only that half needed to be created. Hand-painted and made of resin, foam, fibreglass, wood, and metal screws, this ship features acrylic windows and detailed side canons. The unfinished side of the model reveals the wooden support beams hand-marked with "4" and "3" in graphite as well as "Ship." This lot exhibits some chipping and exposed foam on the underside, discolouration on the interior, and splintered wood. Dimensions: 292 cm x 56 cm x 53.5 cm (115" x 22" x 21")

Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £10,000 - 20,000 US
