Star Wars is epic, spawning movies, toys, and video games. That’s doesn’t mean it’s too big for the small scale. If anything, it works brilliantly.
These pieces were created by a group of Japanese model makers and are on display at the Kotobukiya showroom in Tokyo’s geek district, Akihabara.
They serve as a reminder of not only what talented modellers can make, but all that was lost when George Lucas traded miniature X-wings for green screens.
