BACKSTREET BOYS: LARGER THAN LIFE (VIDEO, 1999) - Spaceship Model Miniature - A spaceship model miniature from Joseph Kahn's Backstreet Boys music video "Larger Than Life." Vocalist Kevin Richardson commanded a fleet of spaceships in a space battle to protect the other Boys. The video broke records as one of the most expensive music videos ever produced due to its futuristic story and hi-tech visual effects.

This spaceship was designed and fabricated for the video by special effects artist Grant McCune, an Academy Award& reg; winner for his groundbreaking effects work on Star Wars: A New Hope and additional nominee for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It features an ornately detailed, primarily resin and styrene body with weapons turrets and an acrylic cockpit inset with a hand-painted pilot miniature. The wings feature various decals, including one of a yawning woman, and its back fin features a hole for motion control effects.

This model comes zip-tied to a metal stand screwed into a wooden display base. Several components have come loose from it, and it exhibits grime and discoloration throughout from age. Dimensions: 38" x 36.5" x 20" (96.5 cm x 92.75 cm x 51 cm)

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
