INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE - Photo-Matched Tank Model Miniature Side PanelA photo-matched side panel from the oversize model miniature tank from Steven Spielberg's adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) rescued his father, Henry (Sean Connery), and Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) from a tank before it crashed down a cliffside.While full-scale functional tank props (based on Mark VII tanks) were built for the film, a remote-controlled model miniature was constructed for shots of the tank going over the cliff. Dubbed "Babe" by the production, it was built at Elstree Studios under mechanical effects supervisor George Gibbs, who incorporated his own lawnmower engine into it. The metal model was over 6.5-feet long with removable side panels for interior access. The tank model was shot on location at Rambla de las Salinas in Valencia, Spain and then shipped to Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in California for bluescreen work. Following production it was sent to a scrapyard, where this right side section was recognized and recovered by a staff member before the remainder of the model was scrapped.This two-part section is constructed of welded steel with a removable turret piece and a long breaker bar affixed with three green canvas supply bags, two "120/DAT" ammunition boxes, and two "YALNIZ SU" engine hatches. Loose metal wiring is attached along the edges and a hole underneath the cannon allows for a maneuvering rod to be inserted. This piece's paintwork and detailing matches to behind-the-scenes photos of the tank model being prepared for the drop shots.This lot exhibits extensive rusting and discoloration throughout, chipped paint on the breaker, fraying canvas, repainted turret portions, and some broken or missing rivets. Dimensions: 74" x 19" x 12" (187 cm x 48.25 cm x 30.5)Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000ΔThis lot will be auctioned on Tuesday, June 21st.

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (1977) - Screen-Matched ILM Red Leader X-wing Model MiniatureAn original screen-matched 'Red Leader' X-wing Starfighter model miniature created by Industrial Light & Magic for George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Red Leader played heavily in the film's final battle sequence. The character wore a unique gold-colored helmet and his X-wing fighter was marked with a single red stripe on each wing, signifying his call sign as Red One. When Star Wars was released in May 1977 and became an instant phenomenon, two of the elements frequently cited for the film's success were its design aesthetic, and the quality of the visual effects work-both of which are represented in this historic X-wing fighter model.The X-wing, like much of Star Wars, was born out of a concept from Lucas himself. He imagined the ship as a dragster with a long body and a pilot on the back, and early concept designer Colin Cantwell was credited for adding the X-shaped wings. Cantwell also built the first physical prototype of the craft. From there, visual effects art director Joe Johnston refined the design into the famous ship known today.For the film's space battle sequences, several 1:24 scale models were needed of each of the core fighters-the X-wing, Y-wing, and T.I.E. fighter. Three basic-grades of models were built: hero models with multiple threaded mounting points and practical lighting elements; high-quality pyro models, designed for effects explosion shots, that were close copies of their hero counterparts but specifically made to look good in explosions on film; and lower-quality pyro models that were built out of necessity since production needed more attempts than originally planned to capture the ideal shots of exploding ships. Lucas had specific direction for the explosions, and a number of attempts with practical burn mixtures and processes were necessary to achieve that vision. "George wanted the outline of the ship to be on fire, the entire outline of the ship sparking away, and then it would blow. Figuring out how to do that took some time," recalled pyro specialist Joe Viskocil, who was responsible for the explosion shots. The lower-quality pyro models were built quickly and with less detail and looser paintwork than the high-quality pyro models. While no exact build records from the production have surfaced, the line-up of X-wing models created for the film can be reverse-engineered from production photos. It is understood by enthusiasts to be approximately: 4 hero models, 6 high-quality pyro models, and an unknown-quantity of lower-quality pyro models-likely a similar number to the high-quality models that were made.The hero and pyro models were constructed in two different manners. Hero models were fabricated from more unique elements, such as kit-bashed components, and were built around a metal armature; pryo models were primarily cast components that could be produced faster and had no armatures since they would hang from wires for the explosion shots. There are slight differences in the detailing of hero X-wing models and pyro models; one notable variation is the nose cone, which has an additional vertical panel-line inscribed on the hero model. All of the models were exceptionally detailed and finished to a very high standard, with the paintwork and decals on the high-quality pyro models closely resembling their hero counterparts.The X-wing fighter model presented here was originally built as the Red Leader (Red One) pyro model, and later in production adapted into a Biggs (Red Three) model by adding additional stripes to the wings and some additional paintwork. Red Leader's pyro shot in the film features an explosion on the back of an engine, but the ship itself remained completely intact (Red Leader then meets his end by crashing into the Death Star surface, in a shot that was an explosion only, with no ship model.) The shot of the Red Leader's engine explosion is documented in behind-the-scenes footage of the model against bluescreen, which shows this ship model remained intact, unlike other X-wings that were destroyed in full by their pyro explosions. The model was flown on thin wires to achieve the shot. Because the X-wing was intact, it was available to be converted into Red Three for possible additional filming work. Red Three's demise in the film shows a crude low-quality pyro model, and therefore this model only appears in the film as Red Leader, and never as Red Three.The Red Leader (Red One) origins of the model are confirmed by a screen-match to the pyro shot in the film where specific detailed markings on the model match up exactly. In comparing the pyro Red Leader model to the hero Red Leader model, several specific details make it clear that it is the Red Leader pyro model on screen. Two production photos showing different sides of the pyro Red Leader model show exact matches to numerous details with this specific X-wing model, confirming it is the original Red Leader pyro model. This X-wing also matches exactly to a workshop photo in its Red Three configuration taken at ILM by crew member Chris Casady. The red stripes, unique airbrush exhaust patterns, and blast-hit marks all align with exact precision to the model today, leaving no question that this is the same model seen in the photograph. Careful examination of the red stripes on the wings reveals that two of the three stripe markings have a different quality than the first, because they were applied at a different time.The significance of this Star Wars relic is enormous-genuine Star Wars models are amongst the rarest of artifacts from the films, and this is believed to be the only intact X-wing model from the original Star Wars that exists in a private collection. No other high-quality pyro models are known to have survived filming, and the hero models that survived are in the collection of George Lucas. The model is screen-matched to a memorable shot in the film and photo-matched to multiple behind-the-scenes production shots, providing unquestionable authenticity. The X-wing fighter is an integral element of the Star Wars saga and is recognized the world over.Included with the lot is an authentic giclee print showing this model in the ILM workshop photograph taken by Chris Casady, rotoscope and animation design animator on the film, during his time on the film in early 1977. The period image shows the model in great detail and is signed by photographer Casady.The X-wing fighter model is preserved extremely well and remains in excellent condition. The light-weight rigid foam remains solid, and the original unrestored paintwork is in excellent condition, with only subtle flaking in small areas. One of the laser cannons exhibits slight warpage, and one of the scratch-built laser cannon tip assemblies is loose. The pyro X-wing was intended to mount on a C-stand with a hole in the back of the fuselage, or to be hung from wires during filming. There are several small holes in the top of the fuselage related to hanging the model on wires. A custom-made aluminum stand that supports the model through the fuselage is included with the piece, as is a wooden transport crate.

In June 1888 a design by R & H Green of Blackwall, London was selected and the first hydraulic steam lifeboat 'Duke of Northumberland' was ordered and completed in 1889. During summer trials in 1890 the Duke of Northumberland impressed the Harwich committee and in 1894 the RNLI's second steam lifeboat 'City of Glasgow' arrived at Harwich on the 7th November, 1894. Funded through the Glasgow Lifeboat Saturday Fund and designed by RNLI architect George Lennox Watson, she was built by R& H Green at a cost of £2,639 10s 0d. The City of Glasgow was beset by many problems during her service when in March 1895 on returning to the station her condenser tubes started leaking. Later on in the same year alterations were needed to improve her trim and whilst returning from service in October the exhaust pipe cracked and needed repairs. In 1897 the port inlet joint started leaking so much that she needed to be returned London for repairs. On the journey the problem became such an issue that she needed to be grounded on a mudbank near Sherness and subsequently towed to R&H Green's yard. Despite her issues, 'City Of Glasgow' undertook a number of services during the period 1894 to 1897 and after repairs 1898 to 1901, rescuing thirty -two lives. Technical issues were to lead to her replacement in 1901 when she was withdrawn from service and eventually sold for £100. The facsimile blue print is signed and dated 'HDC 27.6.88' indicating that Harold Clayton had put forward his own design to the RNLI for the proposed steam lifeboat.*Provenance- Clayton family descent* A similar model can be seen in the Science Museum (Object number 1912-130) which has a white painted hull below the water line rather than the coral pink of the model here.
