Skeletor's Barge
Miniature Shooting Model

This miniature model (used for filming scenes featuring the full shots of Skeletor's barge) was auctioned off a few years ago through "Profiles In History". It is constructed of resin and plastic elements, and measures 51 in. long x 23 in. tall. The model was wired with electronics so that the ship could have it's own interior lighting.

The model features miniature figures of Skeletor, 2 warriors, and one of the "warlords". Since these wouldn't be clearly visible on screen, the figures aren't incredibly detailed... but still manage to capture the look of the characters.
