Miniature filming Death Star Tower model from ROTJ

hehehe That is pretty tiny!!! Cool though!

Deborah Borkman is an American model of Swedish and Japanese descent. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its July 1976 issue (photographed by Phillip Dixon). ILM modelmakers put a miniaturized copy of her centerfold, inside the ****pit area.

And as far as I know, the model has retained that pin-up featurette to date. I never realized Princess Leia's spacebandit is a Corellian Corvette. O-Miss Silly, I should know that's so totally like Navy ship jargon. Still, I always liked George's concept of 'hot rods' in space.

Thanks,
Dale! d

The Definitive Making

Thanks folks. I heard about the centrefold. I visited the Fort Worth Museum in Texas (2007) during a Star Wars exhibition. They had all kinds of miniatures and costumes used in the films. I tried to get a good shot of the Tantive IV ****pit but it was behind glass so the flash killed it. This was the best shot I could get. I think you can still see the centrefold.

Yours truly beside an ANH miniature X-Wing...the camera flash lit up the flourescent tape on the models engines (nerd giggle,giggle)
