INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996) - Photo-Matched 48-Inch Alien Attacker Spaceship Model Miniature - A photo-matched 48-inch alien Attacker spaceship model miniature from Roland Emmerich's sci-fi action film Independence Day. Attackers, the primary fighter craft of the alien Harvesters, were deployed from the larger City Destroyer and Mothership spaceships. Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith) took one attacker down and captured the pilot during the first battle.This lot consists of one Attacker model miniature, a bag of parts, and a magazine for "The Making of Independence Day." Constructed of fiberglass, resin, foam, vacuum-formed plastic components and other multimedia, the miniature features an intricate, multifaceted biomechanical technology-inspired design all over its chassis and was painted in shades of metallic gray, green, and blue. The underside of the spaceship's top was handmarked with the word "Clearance" in blue-black ink. Also included are two wire stands. During production, two scales of model were crafted, larger and smaller, with this being a larger scale model. Larger scale models such as this piece were used for the crash sequence as well as in the Area 51 model miniature hangar. Additionally, this miniature photo-matches to an image featured in the behind-the-scenes book "The Making of Independence Day."This model has undergone sympathetic repair and accents were produced to complete the display. This lot exhibits surface pitting from the curing process, chipped paint on some surfaces, minor blemishes, loose components, and notable adhesive marks.

TOP GUN (1986) - Hollywood (Whip Hubley) and Wolfman's (Barry Tubb) F-14A Tomcat Pyrotechnic Model Miniature - Hollywood (Whip Hubley) and Wolfman's (Barry Tubb) F-14A Tomcat pyrotechnic model miniature from Tony Scott's action film Top Gun. Top Gun was highly regarded for its aerial combat sequences, which utilized a mixture of live-action photography of actual F-14 jets, and visual effects work with models of various scales. In the film's climactic battle sequence, the F-14 piloted by "Hollywood" and "Wolfman" was shot down by an enemy MiG. The shots of the F-14 being hit by the MiG's missile were achieved with "pyro" models approximately 6' in length, and practical explosion effects. Two shots appear in the film-the first is an explosion shot where the missile impacts and a charge is set off, blowing off a rear section of the aircraft; this was done with a model miniature mounted on a pole arm through its wing. The model offered in this lot was used in the second shot, which sees Hollywood and Wolfman's F-14 falling out of the sky while ablaze. The shot was achieved by dropping the flaming model from a large man-lift. It was shot from underneath, and the model was caught in a net. Behind-the-scenes footage of the shot exists in a documentary on the film's effects. After the first take, the model crew cleaned up the piece for a possible second attempt; it was deemed not necessary as the first shot was approved.This is one of the few 6'-scale models that survived the shoot. It is cast in fiberglass around a wood structure, and detailed with emblems and markings that match the full-size jets used in filming. The canopy window is made of thin plastic which covers a pair of hand-painted miniature pilots affixed with helmets labeled 'YES' and 'NO' (an in-joke from the model crew, knowing the helmets would never be seen in detail on film.) Its nose is hand-numbered "114," the same number on Pete "Maverick" Mitchell's (Tom Cruise) F-14, which was applied to all models used in the shoot. The model is missing a large section from its rear that represents the missile impact in the shot.This model exhibits signs of age and wear, including a large section of the starboard quarter deliberately removed by production as well as several cracks throughout the body and yellowing on the canopy window plastic. Dimensions: 73" x 64" x 21" (185.5 cm x 162.5 cm x 53.5 cm)Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.Estimate: $20,000 - 40,000Bidding for this lot will end on Wednesday, June 28th.

TOP GUN (1986) - Pete "Maverick" Mitchell's (Tom Cruise) F-14A Tomcat Model Miniature - Pete "Maverick" Mitchell's (Tom Cruise) F-14A Tomcat model miniature from Tony Scott's action drama Top Gun. Top Gun was highly regarded for its aerial combat sequences, which utilized a mixture of live-action photography of actual F-14 jets, and visual effects work with models of various scales. Maverick flew his Grumman F-14 Tomcat at the Naval Air Station Miramar. Mounted on a black-painted wood base, this model miniature is built from light- and dark gray-painted fiberglass with Maverick's plane number "114" and "NAVY" stenciled on the body. It features a urethane cockpit canopy window affixed above hand-painted miniature models of Maverick and Hazumi, both stationed with labeled helmets in urethane seats via attachment mounts. The miniature exhibits several points of sympathetic repair, as well as grime, faded stenciling from age, wobbling to the base. Dimensions: 23" x 16" x 5" (58.5 cm x 40.75 cm x 12.75 cm)Estimate: $8,000 - 16,000Bidding for this lot will end on Wednesday, June 28th.

GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1990) - Dismembered Gremlin Puppet Arms - A pair of dismembered Gremlin arms from Jon Dante's black comedy horror sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch. When a mob of Gremlins attacked Kate Peltzer through the elevator walls, it dropped and dismembered them.Designed by Rick Baker's team at Cinovation, these foam latex Gremlin arms are applied around rubber tubes and an interior metal armature. They include puppet cables and trigger mechanisms which control their hand movements. The foam latex is hand-painted in shades of green, brown, yellow, and red. They feature scales, veins, and rubber claws on each finger. The fingers and wrists on each piece exhibit cracks, splits, and dryness in the foam latex from age. Dimensions: (longest extended flat) 95" x 10" x 2.75" (241 cm x 25 cm x 7 cm) Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.Estimate: $2,500 - 5,000Bidding for this lot will end on Thursday, June 29th.

It is possible that he, like his contemporary, Pompeo della Chiesa, was privileged to work in the Castello Sforzesco, residence of the Dukes of Milan. Other extant works bearing his signature include the fine garniture made for Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, Prince Bishop of Salzburg, probably after 1587, and now divided between the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich, the Wallace Collection, London, and the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, as well as various armours preserved in the Museo Civico L. Marzoli, Brescia, the Real Armeria, Turin, the Real Armeria, Madrid, the Musée de l'Armée, Paris, and the Wallace Collection, London.
