Jabba's Sail Barge
- 3¾" Scale
The fantastic Jabba The
Hutt's Sail Barge made
at scale for the 3¾"
Star Wars figures. Made
entirely based on
blueprints designed
after a long and
exhaustive research.
It is totally handmade
mostly out of plasticard,
wood, honeycomb board
and electric circuits.
The shape of the sail
barge prow is one of the
most accurated ever made
after the film. At first
sight you can see
arround 200 panels (mostly
uniques), 52 windows (5
from which can be opened),
the engine (with
batteries inside it),
the deck, designed for
3¾" figures, 4 hidden
removable doors with
access to the interior
of the ship. Besides all
that, you'll see that
the sails, mast and
ailerons are also
removables.
Her measures are 64
inches length, 17 inches
tall and 16 inches deep.
Her weight is about 8
pounds. As you can see
it is really huge!
Several painting
techniques were used to
reach the most accurate
realism (brush and
aerograph in search of
that rusted metal finish
characteristic of the
ship).
The sail barge has 3
finely designed
interiors cabins which
are hidden when their
access panels are closed:
- The throne room of
Jabba the Hutt including:
Jabba's throne; also has
the mural (entitled Ne
Ganna Dateel Jabba) with
the picture of Jabba
designed to represent
exactly the movie scene
and it is also removable;
3 lamps, accesories and
enough space for his
henchmen. This room is
connected with the
others two.
- A corridor with stairs
that leads to the upper
deck through a hatchway.
- And finally the
meeting room, including
3 tables, 3 lamps and
accesories.
There is an electric
system to light 6 bulbs
that is operated with
two 9v batteries (not
included). The switch
and batteries are
located at the stern of
the sail barge.
Action figures not
included. Shown for
scale purposes only.
