1500cc BMC B series engine,these were known as Varitones because of the two tone colour schemes.Look at that Bean 14
in the garage.
"... This screen might be familiar to fans of Ridley Scott's other classic sci-fi movie, Blade Runner, which has a remarkably similar screen onboard a flying police vehicle: ..."
It's exactly the same graphics. In a Blade Runner documentary, (On the Edge of Blade Runner) Ridley Scott explicitly mentions this.
It's good to read about the work of Ron Cobb. In '79 I picked up a book, "The book of ALIEN" which also shows some of the shots you show . It also includes work by Giger and Foss.
Another example of Scott re-using Cobb designs is in Prometheus. If you take a look at the flight deck of the ship it looks like the 'split level bridge' design, P51 in Colorvision. [1]
Also check out the patches Cobb produced on P61 [2]. Still got my "Nostromo" & US "Tri-color" patch wich you still pick up at various stores in the 80's.

5/29 Sculpt Update on the Ron Cobb Tropical Rainforest (Revwien) cantina creature concept for Star Wars: A New Hope. 1:18 scale.
I only have a single reference point when it comes to the concept drawing. I doubt Ron Cobb did any more studies of the creature unless they are in the archives. I've gathered ideas from other artists' interpretations as well as variants of the species shown in the EU. Primarily though, I'm sticking to the original concept drawing.
The head started out by using a plastic casting of the head sculpt I made for my KOTOR custom Revwien figure (see prior updates). I removed all the details from the cast and whittled it down to where it was a meager little mushroom. From there I used it as a frame to sculpt over.
Those small markings going around the neck of the sculpt are drill markers for wire. The wire will support the finer details I have to add. I have no idea how I'm going to cast this sculpt when complete but I'll figure it out.
Hope you enjoy the update. More to come. Working a bit on the projects this weekend so I'll have some work to share soon. Hope those that attended Star Wars Celebration had a great time!

I don't know precisely why the Greenpeace folks came to the Habitat conference, probably just to get the brand out there, but I took a shot at (what turned out to be) their second boat of five or six. The oddest thing about the shot to my eye, nearly forty years later, is the way I framed it, excluding a good deal of the boat itself, and focussing on the shape; the thing stranger is the sail itself, completely superfluous on a diesel powered vessel, and again, one suspects that the Greenpeacers hoisted it mainly as a kind of advertising banner. Note that the sail carries not just the peace ("Ban the Bomb") symbol, but above it the Ron Cobb created Eco-symbol which was later incorporated into the ecology flag.

6/4 Sculpt Update on the Ron Cobb "Revwien" Cantina Creature concept for Star Wars: A New Hope. 1:18 scale.
The head sculpt is complete! I spent an hour or so rolling tiny, irregular balls of epoxy and allowing them to cure overnight. From there I either used the whole ball or cut them in half and glued them to the surface of the neck, wrapping around the "stamens" I created earlier. As chaotic as it may look, there is a bit of order to this - smaller balls toward the top, just under the eyes and then more at the base of the neck along with larger, irregular pieces to fill in the center.
I used superglue. Liberally. I don't want to see pieces missing a year from now or find the pieces embedded into the mold I created...
This brings me to my next concern, the mold. I know that superglue tends to impede the curing process for mold material. In my experience however, working with the mold material I've been using for years, I rarely have that problem as I usually allow anything that is bonded with superglue several days to cure before mold making. Note, I've used two types of mold material over the years...
Smooth-On Mold Star 15 (Slow) Platinum Cure
Smooth-On Mold Max 14 NV
This will be my next challenge, along with the beginnings of the body sculpt which appears to be an inverted floral bulb. I'm thinking of a core sculpt, no detail to begin with, along with a ball joint for the neck and a clear stand at the base for additional stabilization.
More updates to come! I have other figures that need attention so expect some love to be shown for them here soon! Thanks again for your continued interest and please, any questions, post them below

5/31 Sculpt Update on the Ron Cobb Revwien Cantina Creature concept for Star Wars: A New Hope. 1:18 scale.
Drilled several holes around the neck of the sculpt, added wire and sculpted "Stamens" (anthers and filaments of flowers). Have plenty more to do, what you see here is just the beginning of the detail. My next challenge when all is said and done is...how the heck do I mold and cast this thing!!! LOL!
Short and sweet update. More to come! Thanks for checking out the update!

6/1 - Completed sculpt of the Revwien pilot from the Dark Horse Comics series Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by John Jackson Miller
1:18 scale, sculpted using Aves Fixit Sculpt.
The creature appears in a single panel…a SINGLE PANEL in the entire Dark Horse Comic series, Knights of the Old Republic. I was simply struck by how cool the creature looked. I wanted to see it in action figure form…
…and here it is!
For the frame, I used the lower legs, feet, partial waist, shoulders, arms and hands from a Vintage Collection Chewbacca. The upper torso was custom sculpted by me and the second set of arms came from a random figure. Glued together, created some custom articulation and used a Dremel to reduce the frame down to a skeleton.
One of the bigger figures I have created, measuring 6 “ tall for a 1:18 scaled figure.
Articulation points in the neck, shoulders (all 4), elbows (all 4) hands ( all 4 - the round spiked hands rotate), waist, hips, knees and ankles.
The pressure pack on its back is held in place using a magnet. It’s a scratch build.
The figure represents a large, lumbering suit…so “maximum extreme articulation” isn’t the priority here.
Who knows what this creature’s story is about?…that’s what’s great about these random characters that show up briefly in the Star Wars galaxy…they can be anything you want them to be.
Next to paint the figure! Give me time as I am rebuilding my collection of paints as my older ones have all dried up or in the process of withering away.
Thanks again for your continued interest!

Named for the two-headed giant of Jack the Giant Killer, this beast graced the cover of the 1968 Famous Monsters of Filmland yearbook. Although it is essentially an anonymous monster, Justin Ishmael has turned it into an icon all its own!
