Star Wars Star Destroyer Model Replica!
Ғылым және технология
We check in with Steve Neisen of eFX Collectibles to see what's up with his AT-ST studio scale model replica, as well as check out a massive Star Destroyer prototype he's put together as a made-to-order collectible. We learn how the surface details of the Star Destroyer were enhanced by the modelmaker who worked on the original filming miniature!

Yep, looks pretty poor. If they'd just taken the 3D computer model and handed the job to an experienced injection molding company to break it down and use their expertise to account for shrinkage and warping, I'm sure they could have produced a large die cast kit of far better quality that people could assemble themselves for far less than $10k.

Awesome video. EFX is up to good things.
That'd be cool to see a hyper detailed AT-TE and Venator models similar to what was seen in this video.

1) It's a prototype. 2) The original models have gaps and imperfections. There are people who want a replica of the studio model, not an idealized or sanitized item. Another good example would be the OT helmets. The Stormtroopers and Vader's helmets all had asymmetrical features because they were first sculpted from clay and cast. Every time a company puts out a version where they fix this it looks wrong.

Beautiful, I love it
If I'm gonna spend $16,000 I want this thing to look so much better, more detail and FULL of Fiber Optics and the 4 backup engines should also be lit up as well. Really disappointing that a 1/2700 scale full of fiber optics and built by hobbyists looks far superior to this.
you content recently inspired me. I am currently 3d printing parts for a model rocket. I am sanding and assembling them tomorrow and find a way to paint them in the next day. My goal is to film a film using SFX miniatures and some VFX by the end of the summer holidays.

Is there a better designed space battleships than the star destroyers? The arrow shape is just perfect for an aggressive force.
@harryknox7920

Time to get very annoying. It does have a good design for destroying things, but it is a very blunt weapon that isn't very versatile and has design flaws that were exploited to go great effect by it's opponents. The Imperial 1 class Star Destroyers, Imperial 2 the Executor class Star Dreadnoughts, the Victory class Star Destroyers and many more featured a wedge shaped design that is very good at directing fire at one target and makes it effective at Base Delta Zero (the name given to the tactic of destroying a world by "glassing" it's surface. The wedge shape is also featured in the Acclimator class and Venetor class but the prominent problem for most Star Destroyers/Dreadnoughts is that they lack point defense cannons, which are effective at combating starfighters, leaving their only defense them to be Tie class fighters, which are laughably weak compared to what could be found elsewhere, including, to an extent, recently phased out models. This meant they were extremely poor at combating the Rebel Alliance, their main foes, who focused on mobility and small ships, such as starfighters. Technically, the only battleships of the Star Destroyer line are the Allegiance or maybe the Bellator class Star Destroyers, as most of them, are well, Destroyers. Only the Victory 2 is good at the role due to its better speed than everything else. A better designed vessel, such as the MC80 Home One (which, admittedly, is a cruiser) was very flexible, being able to transport 120 starfighters, compared to the Imperial class' 72, being more modular, having better shields (admittedly it is of Mon Calamari design so that is to be expected), having a faster hyperdrive. You can see why it would be chosen as the flagship of Admiral Ackbar, whilst Grand Admiral Thrawn, the most respected, talented and feared tactical genius of the Empire despised the fleet composition and ships of the Empire due to their lack of versatility.
Norm is just so tempted to throw it
althought it looks great.....the price!!!!!! i bought the Revell/Zvezda Star Destroyer kit for £60, i spent £50 on 3d printed parts to make it the Devastator, maybe £30 on paint and £10 on some LEDS, and also had the fun of building, painting and lighting it myself, also its nearly 2 foot long so you are getting a nice big Star Destroyer
I feel like everyone has that target Star Wars shirt that Steve is wearing. (I even have one)
I love it
From a distance it looks fantastic but up close it looks badly fitted with lots of panel gaps. They may be faced with customer complaints of the price is 10k
i want all of these in my room
Wow I love this Star Destroyer.
10k assembled. Why can't I buy an unassembled model kit? Only been waiting my whole life for one this size

"Disney never paid us, so we can't pay you." -Steve Neisen That's the story many artists were told that designed and built those models for that project after they handed over their months of work to Steve and EFX. Only specific people in his inner circle were compensated. At least one or two artists that posted about it got their accounts on the Replica Prop Forum banned after sharing how they got screwed.
HOLY GAPS BATMAN! "Look at the detail" "Gaaaap! GAAAAAAAAP! GAPPY GAPPY GAPPY GAAAAAP!!!!"
10k? It has some horrendous panel gaps. No thanks
I know it's a 'duuuur' moment but I never realized how closely they based the design on aircraft carriers, once you see it in this scale it becomes obvious but in the movies you're just absorbed in the shear size and power of these things so it doesn't really click
hey the guy at the end is from mythbusters but they stopped the show :O
You need to check out PLASMO plastic models he's a genius the Picasso of model making!!!👍👍👍
That star destroyer looks awful. Huge gaping holes between subassemblies and the port shield generator massively on the wonk. I'd be upset if I paid $200 for this let alone 10k

If it looks like that and they are the company that designed/built the model, then for 10K, it better look immaculate. I've seen models done by amateur builders that are better put together than that and by Experts who wouldn't let something that looked that bad out of their shop. I hate to say it, but the destroyer looks like the guys at eFX sat around with a case of beer and a bag of Cheetos and threw it together while watching A New Hope the night before the Comic-Con...
Insulting price. Somebody upload a 3D scan or details model and let’s just 3D print it.
The most that SD is worth is around 2.5k. if totally lighted with the right sized holes, 3k.
I have an exclusive darth vader helmet and I just finished his light Saber to
8 ft ? Makes me think of the Nostromo.

The Lego UCS coming out is about the same size and detail less than $800.
$10,000 is too much when you have companies like deagostini and eaglemoss making complete studio replicas for a 10th of that.

You can get a lot of these models, little bit smaller versions, for under $100
6:10 norm: Yaas Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
Ironically, Norm is anything but normal.
EFX puts out good replicas. However, another Co. needs to step up to the plate and replicate Movie props to that uber level which EFX clearly cant attain. A perfect example would be the Perfect Grade Bandai Falcon. That model is THE absolute best when it comes to hard core accuracy and should be the bench mark for other manufacturer to achieve.
10 thousand dollars? Umm.. Time to get a new hobby mate this is getting ridiculous
4-5 weeks? Sixteen thousand dollars? 😂
But what about a kit :)
Can't be the Devastator. The sensor array on top of the bridge is wrong, it should be laying down. Source: Building the Zvezda 2ft long kit.

Everyone complaining about the price and pointing out panel gaps, etc. needs to realize that those gaps and other "inaccuracies" are deliberately put there. This is the replica of a prop, not a replica of the fantasy. Granted, if it were to be a true replica, it should be blank on the starboard side, but listening to the story, the fact that they got the original designer of the ship to "complete" the model makes it a special detail. And if you think $10-20K is expensive for a prop, take a look at the prices REAL props from the movie are bringing. R2D2 went for almost $3 million dollars in 2017.

you cant compare replica collectibles to real props, the latter has historical value that cant be replicated. I fully understand why they are charging 10k, researching and finding parts to make a replica of this scale take a lot of time and effort, and they are hand made in small amounts. However, you can get very close to this level with a model for a fraction of the price, the bandai model is good, the zvezda/revell one is big and very customizable with 3d printed parts, or if you can find one an Anigrand model will get very close to this one without the gaps and for around $500. Also, this eFX one appears not to have fiber optic lighting, like the real prop DID, and for 10k its something id expect. This eFX model is not a model, its a collectible for collectors who can afford this sort of thing, and a good chunk of this channels viewers are not rich collectors, hence they all complain.
Those LEDs will last HUNDREDS of hours...? I don't think they make LEDs that bad.
That destroyer is crazy awesome. I would like one in drone form that can shoot lazeeeer beams for yard defense of the evil squirrels!
Seriously the Randy Cooper star destroyer is a far better buy. Over 40 inches and $700. Way better deal.
too many zeros.should be ONE THOUSAND credits!
I know for the prop the price is reasonable but I can't afford it :(
Unless you have done something of immense philanthropic value in your life, if you spend 10,000 on a model star destroyer, you are my enemy.
Lol
for a 10k model so many gaps specially the ones between the superstructure and hull is unacceptable.
@filip8985

i can see it costing them 10k to design and make, but its not a good model for that price, for like $300 you could get a revell (or zvezda) 1/2700 star destroyer and get some 3d printed parts off shapeways and youd have a pretty detailed model. Or if your able to find one (they are extremely rare) you could try and get your hands on one of those 1/2256 Anigrand ones, i know of one thats for sale and its like $600, but thats from a cast of an original movie prop, so its really a bargain.
If I only had $10k for a toy.... Need a new job.
Way too many gaps between panels and too monochromatic for $10K.
I would never pay $10,000 for a toy model...no way I can buy so much with 10 grand
10Gs!..what's up with those nasty gaps?...should have cleaned that up before going out there like that
