We are very excited to announce that legendary model maker Michael Lynch will be making his European convention debut at Echo Base Charity Con 2025!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As Chief Model Maker at Industrial Light & Magic, Michael played a key role in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. For The Phantom Menace<\/em> , he led the team that built the enormous Mos Espa Grand Arena miniature, famously filling the stands with over 450,000 hand-painted cotton swabs to represent a bustling crowd.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Lynch also built and operated C-3PO for Episode I<\/em>. Dressed in a special suit to be removed in post-production, he operated the puppet on set while Anthony Daniels provided the voice off-camera, guiding Lynch's movements to bring the character to life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued this work on Attack of the Clones<\/em> and Revenge of the Sith<\/em>, helping to bring George Lucas\u2019s universe to life through meticulous miniatures and practical effects.<\/p>\n

Beyond Star Wars, Michael's craftsmanship can be seen in films like Starship Troopers<\/em>, Star Trek: Generations<\/em> and Transformers<\/em>.<\/p>\n
