Custom Boxed Star Wars Rebel Blockade Runner Playset

Post by paulitoy »

Ok, I know its Star Wars, but I thought a few of you might like to see my latest creation - a custom cardboard playset from the beginning of Episode 4 on the Blockade Runner ship.

I saw something similar a few years back by a famous SW customiser Nick McCarthy and have wanted to make my own ever since.

The playset and box are both customs.

If you are a R.S. member, appologies, I've just posted these pics there as well.

There is a hole in the wall to fit an escape pod.

I couldn't decide on which colour to use, so I did 3 types.

To make it more authentic, I also added inner cardboard packaging, bagged up the pieces and added a 'we really do care' insert just like the real things back in the day...


From an AF point of view, this opens up a whole new list of possibilities for customs. I was thinking of repeating the design with some scans from the Cardboard HQ and making some kind of mini Command Centre. As usual, there's not enough hours in the day for my ideas and the wife is fed up with me cutting up bits of cardboard...

As I've said to you with this via PM Paul - I think it's astounding! And then it turns out you'd blooming well made three!!! Love the new direction, and surely the cardboard cutting is tidier around the house than painting and dremmeling! You could always get a job on Blue Peter too!
