Bigger on the inside... sorta

It's often said of the Millennium Falcon that the interior set wouldn't actually fit the exterior set used for filming. A lot has been written on the subject, but here's an illustration of just how badly the two sets fit together.




Essentially the ramp is the only place where the two sets can agree. After that point all hell breaks loose...


well here's a fine how-do-you-do...

Solo Falcon

Another year, another chance to play "what have you done to my ship?"

if grainy images coming out of Russia are to be believed this January, the Millennium Falcon featured in the stand alone Han Solo movie will feature a new (old?) nose...





Out of curiosity I bashed together this preview of the possible design by modifying existing models I've built.






Honestly... I'm fine with it. I'm curious to see how she looks up close, and how close I've come to the design that will feature in the movie. Few more months to go before I find out....



honestly the paint job is bugging me the most. I kinda wish they'd just made it stock white like a stardestroyer. Does it really need markings? These random blue markings just feel like an R2 skin was slapped on it.

























UPDATE!
