So far we've announced Star Wars: The Blueprints. I'll be writing that one and it's going to be a Limited Edition given the fact that the production of the book costs so much-that is, in order to show the blueprints at a size at which they can be appreciated, the book has to be quite large. So far I can say I've had a great time interviewing the old production art department crews: Norman Reynolds, Les Dilley, Roger Christian, Alan Tomkins, Peter Childs, and others-the art directors and draftsmen from times past, whose stories have never been told.
I am heading to Home Depot tomorrow to stock up on tools and construction supplies. I just need to figure out what to use to cover a small thermal exhaust port on my battle station.
