Side view of Anakin’s chariot based on the Maserati; I drew a ton of panel lines, patch-work of kit-bashed plates etc .. I liked, particularly, the ribs supporting the front fender/ foils .. however, none of this made it into the final prop. “$-savings” pic.twitter.com/bVU9DtLncv

I liked thinking Anakin would paint his name on there- have some fun with it, perhaps even have a little character he invented for himself!

I dug up some images of Anakin's chariot I kit-bashed in '96. I went out one weekend and bought a couple of kits that I'd hoped would have the correct shapes/ parts to mimic the sketch.. pic.twitter.com/oZEo3MGEo0

..there was a '60's show car kit of some kind of wagon towing a surfboard on a trailer. I remember one-half of the surfboard becoming the underbelly of the chariot..

.. another was a Revell kit of the Corvette Indy concept GM showed at the Detroit Auto Show in 1986. Its windshield became the chariot's hood.
