We’ve posted about the full size Alien and Predator before, but this is taking the biscuit. Ladies and Gentlemen (and John who will no doubt be starting a site scheme to buy one) let me introduce you to full size X-Wing.
Yes, that’s exactly what I said. Full size. It’s on ebay right now, thanks to engadget for highlighting it.
Back in 1995, 20th Century Fox Germany and Lucasfilm contracted 9 of these to be made by a company called Pana Sensor in Frankfurt. They were to be part of a worldwide promotional tour highlighting the THX release of the original Star Wars Trilogy on home video. Because of a truck wreck several years ago, only 8 of these ships still exist…
…These incredible life-sized replicas were constructed from fiberglass, wood, and plastic, all placed over a steel frame. When fully assembled the X-Wing measures 28 feet long, 20 feet wide, and about 10 and a half feet tall. Total weight is approximately 2000 lbs.
Now, if only I had US $85,000 to buy it now…
