Millennium Falcon Cockpit from UHU02

[bigpetr]

Seems that back wall texture is done and that it is version from Star Wars V or VI (definitely not from IV and VII). Looks amazing.

Wow, what a fan[/QUOTE]

Indeed. A big and rich fan . . .

I believe he just started at the cockpit. I am pretty sure this is the beginning of something much more.

If "Kessel" is German for "pot", then the Kessel run was...

Well, Han is a Smuggler.

Revell-Fan is sick and in bed (he has a bad cold) and has asked me to update this thread. I hope that he feels better and gets well very soon!!!

So without further ado, here is what @uhu02 done thus far.

It looks like he has finished the back panels of the cockpit.

Here is a closeup!
As you can see, there is HUGE potential for greebling! thumbsup

 

[Enterpriser10]

We're waiting for your fast recover, Revell-Fan!

 

[Cybergrinder]

@Revell-Fan ; get well soon! S'not funny being ill

@Rhaven Blaack - greeble, greeble, greeble, that is going to be the benchmark in greebling!

 

[Tonino]

Take care of yourself RF! And stay away from doctors!!! I know what I say: I'm one of them!

 

[Revell-Fan]

! Thank you, guys! I'm already feeling better!

 

[zathros]

No Wienerschnitzel for you R.F.!!!

With the resolution of the pictures posted, it may be possible to make a huge one of these!!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

It looks like the GREAT MASTER (@uhu02) has posted updates to this wonderful and interesting project!
It looks like he has started laying out the parts sheets. (As I said before, it looks like there is going to be a great deal of greebling potential. thumbsup)

Here is more 3D work and figuring out the components.

Here are both sides of the back wall of the cockpit.

Stay tuned to your local Imperial channel for further updates. :hide:

 

[Revell-Fan]

WOOOW! The slim red line on one of the parts looks like an opening for the door. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, could it be that the door will actually slide???

 

[Tonino]

I understood (with the limits of Google japanese translation) he's doing some study about plausibility of movie sets (legs falling out of the cabin and door passing through starship surfaces...) trying to build something reconciling the external look of the cockpit with the internal details in a logical way... Perhaps this preludes to an operating door....
I'm every hour more and more hungry... I want more!!!!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

It does indeed look like UHU02 is attempting to have the door slide open and close properly (without it coming out of the side of the ship).

 

[zathros]

I don't see why the door can't be on hinges. I've seen some pretty whacky hinges on aircraft that have really odd shaped doors. My useless 2 cents worth.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Gov. Tarkin: "Hinged doors? In a Sci-Fi movie? I think you overestimate their chances!"

 

[Cybergrinder]

I was trying to think of a way to say that... Nice one RF!

 

[paper hollywood]

What an interesting exercise for The Man to do this time. I never realized that you'd have to do a chop job on your Han and Chewie figures to fit the into the cockpit. Film designers need to stop cheating and always make things fit. I doubt if he'll get around to the rest of Falcon at that scale. It would be 9.5 feet across. Not many folks in Japan have that much display space.

 

[Cybergrinder]

On the point of the figures, I remember I had 1:72 scale plastic model of the Falcon & the figures fit perfectly. I think the moved the seats back?

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

So it is time for an update to this WONDERFUL project that @uhu02

Here is the rear of the wall. The details of over the side from the ceiling it is crowded draw while staring with the material.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here are the beginnings of the layout for the parts sheets.
