Released during the post-"Star
Wars" sci-fi boom of the early 1980s, "The Last Starfighter" was a
benchmark film in its own right in that it was the first major Hollywood
film to make extensive use of the then-nascent technology of
Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI). The tale of a young videogame
player who is recruited by an alien alliance to pilot its last remaining
spacecraft, the film had as its centerpiece the "Gunstar," a large and
wholly credible two-man fighter designed by celebrated conceptual artist
Ron Cobb. Lifting off vertically and equipped with a powerful "Hail
Mary" weapons array called the "Death Blossom," the Gunstar never existed
as a physical model, being wholly a creation of computer graphics.
Although the early 1980s technology was admittedly crude, the Gunstar
remains a much-loved spacecraft among sci-fi fans worldwide. Our 1:144 Gunstar smaller version of the 1:72 kit produced and sold by BLAP! Models. |
