Talk about a fantastic job…. that is what Marc did exactly with this ORIGINAL 1980 MPC release of the 1:22 Snowspeeder model from The Empire Strikes Back. I had been saving this model for just this presented occasion… to accompany an AT-AT that is to scale with it! Yes, that is right!… the MSLZ22 MEGA [...]

Once again we try to bring you something a bit unique that may also inspire others. Here are the blue screen photos of the Marc Elkins build of RED 12 (Replicated from the Studio Filming Model SEEN HERE). This beast was built from the 1:24 Poseidon Young Kit (View the actual build HERE). Now… the [...]

TIE FIGHTERS ARE BLUE!!! No really… they ARE!! But not this time!
Marc Elkins did a fantastic job on this piece (as is his usual)!
In 1977, when Star Wars came out… everyone believed the TIE Fighter to be grey in color… because that is what the technology made them look like on screen! In fact… the [...]

I obtained this very challenged resin kit around 10 years ago! It was so bad that this end product is mostly scratch built by me! The only thing I used was the head, landing gear pods, engine bells (which I had chrome plated), and the feet for the landing gear. Everything [...]

Finally I was able to get photos of this large beast… the Studio Study Model Sith Infiltrator! This was the last professional Sci-Fi build by now retired artist R.L. Bleecker!  While this design has never been one of my favorites, it certainly fits in the Star Wars timeline perfectly with it’s radiated wings! It definitely [...]

A few weeks ago, and one week apart, Collector’s Michael Plante and myself managed to swing by artist and collector Marc Elkins home! What an experience! Michael ended up going home owning Marc’s 6 foot Star Destroyer AVENGER, as well as the Salzo made, Elkins built MEGA SCALE AT-AT! Being that Michael was there one [...]

This model started as the Alfred Wong patterned studio scale SMT kit. Since it was a little different in detail than the actual studio model used in the 1978 film, and the 1979 series Battlestar Galactica, myself and artist Marc Elkins decided to build this beast as the Presidential shuttle of the Battlestar Atlantia! Marc [...]

We established the term “Super Scale” with the amazing Lasse Henning 1:18 Vader X-1 TIE Fighter. Now we are establishing yet another term in “Mega Scale” with the double studio scale sized AT-AT’s!! They are GIGANTIC!! Now… “Drool!” This is the second word that describes these two amazing builds by Marc Elkins and something I [...]

WOW! What a fantastic imagination Clifton has with this creation of a Battlestar reminiscent of three types of designs! The most obvious being the original Battlestar [...]

This piece will be able to be seen soon displayed here, along with the other pieces on the gallery floor of Modeler’s Miniatures and Magic!

When DeAgostini cancelled the 1:900 Enterpirse 1701-D kit (that they had worked together with Rick Sternbach to produce), many model builders were [...]

Last winter began a journey to something new.. in a very old way. Originally planned to be presented to the Producers for a Continuation Battlestar, this creation began deviating (in all is aggressive beauty) to become what we may now present to the Producers as the very first Battelstar…. the Battlestar of the [...]

I received a fantastic, and very anticipated shipment last week of the beautiful Studio Scale RED LEADER X-Wing that professional Modeler R.L. Bleecker built for the Collection. This piece is fantastic and highly detailed to replicate the filming model. Using the amazing MSLZ22, V3 Kit that is currently out of production, Robert did this [...]

I love when TOY Conversions come out so fantastic as this piece did! This is a fantastic re-do of the Hasbro Toy V-19 that was designed for the action figures. Of course the actual toy is smaller than the figure that is supposed to go in it (as the toys usually are), but we [...]

Using the beautiful photos of the fantastic Marc Elkins scratch and bash… the Death Star Tower Turret (SEEN HERE), and using various components from Star Wars – Episode’s 3, 4 and 5, I was able to create this scene of the Death Star under attack by the Rebel Forces.
To view this piece in [...]

We all recognize THIS piece! One of the Death Star’s surface formidable gun emplacements that rocked so many Rebel Fighters on their fly-byes! Scratch mastered by professional Las Vegas modeler Marc Elkins, this piece stands out as another of his great creations! The detail and paint is incredible!
NOW in the Modeler Magic / [...]

When I opened the box of this beautiful piece, I could not believe how detailed it was! Every scribe line perfect, as was the subtle weathering on the beautiful paint scheme of metallic blue! Even the pilot figures were perfect! How could I resist a quick fly around the room with the beautiful piece? [...]

Measuring slightly less long than the 752 meter ACCLAIMATOR Star Destroyer Class, the new 686 meter PERSISTANT Class Imperial Cutter INTRACTIBLE is the second version of this new Imperial weapon. This makes this vessel, if it were real, to be just over 1/3 the full length of the basic Star Destroyers we know [...]

This masterpiece was originally penned by ILM modeler Warren Fu for Star War ROTS, but never used. Upon viewing this spectacular design, it was completely scratch built for the collection! It is the ONLY one of it’s kind in this size!

MMM Gallery/Museum Appraised at $4,500 U.S.

Physical models for the filming industry are sadly, and quickly, becoming an art of the past. That stated, the CG artists and builders are now doing incredible works with all the new pieces we enjoy in the movies and series we watch. The toy makers of today use those original CG files to make [...]

From the fantastic imagination of master builder R.L. Bleecker, made from the amazing and versatile FM Model Company Kit, come this sleek T-59 ADVANCED E-wing Fighter! Lighter and more agile than it’s predecessors, and having much more firepower in it’s new laser systems, this fighter is a formidable opponent in any dogfight it [...]

When I first came into this art form one of the first artists I came to appreciate and watch frequently was Mr. Lasse Henning. His work inspired nearly everything I have in the collection today from now equally appreciated and fantastic artists.
When Lasse informed us all he was doing a Vader TIE, I contacted [...]

Built from the fantastic FM Model Company Kit, this versatile kit was made into yet another great version of the expanded universe E-Wing! Master modeler R.L. Bleecker again shows his creativity in this art by changing what this kit usually looks like, and forming it into what he imagined to be a step [...]

I was sent this last week from QMx! Let me say how beautiful this piece is! Especially for it’s size! This piece was created exactly from the original CG files used in the television show Stargate SG1!
OF NOTE: This piece comes with a beautiful stand and landing gear in it’s ‘down’ position. I removed [...]

Talk about small wonders! Talented modeler, and new Resin Illuminati owner, Jon Snyder sent this piece to me to photograph. I knew it was going to be small, but I had no idea what small was! I am used to giant models in the studio, not Battleships only 7.5 inches long! And what detail was [...]

This all metal studio scale model was once created by Code 3 Collectibles. It was done very well with the exception of a properly weathered paint job. It has a removable hatch on it’s right side to show the cockpit interior and it’s pilots, and also has a removable hatch on top… all magnetic! The [...]
