Tantive IV Description.

 

The Tantive IV is my most ambitious project to date. The model is in scale to Lego minifgures and will eventually be over four meters in length. Once completed it will be the world's largest Star Wars Lego model and also one of the biggest privately owned models of any kind. The bridge section measures 50 cm x 75cm and is the first of six modules will make up the model.

The model features a fully detailed interior, based on the sets built for Star Wars: A New Hope. I have drawn up my own diagram of the the corridor network, which actually matches the "real thing" unlike the official plans available in Star Wars publications. I did not use Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith as a source of reference, as the cockpit set constructed for the film was far too small. I may attempt to include the briefing room seen in the film, if I can find some space (The room seems very extravagant for such a small ship).

I am aiming to complete the Tantive IV in September 2008. Keep visiting this site for constant updates.
