Pizza Hutt Delivery Ship |
By Jim Hudson |
Collecting dust in my garage for way too long was an Ertl kit of the Rebel Transport from 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Having joined a local Star Wars fan group that meets at pizza parlours, I got the idea for the model here. The Pizza Hutt logo signs are custom stickers I printed and hand colored with markers, placed onto two of those plastic support deelies (they keep the pizza box from smashing your pie during delivery). I chose black paint overal as it looks cool -- and it seemed a good idea as pizzas and Hutts are a bit greasy. The alien symbols on the front white area stand for the letters 'P' and 'H', and are from the alien code translator I found on a Futurama fan website. Lastly, the one motto of Pizza Hutt delivery service is, "We deliver anywhere -- in 30 Parsecs or less!" |
