It still looks great and is, I think we can all agree, the best ship in the Star Wars universe.

Joe Johnston worked on the redesign, and that’s where the hamburger came in. After the crew realized that the design looked too similar to the ship from Space: 1999, they had to go back to the drawing board and come up with something else in a hurry. What was planned actually became the prototype for the Tantive IV. The initial look for the Millennium Falcon was much different. I took this from - five things you didn't know about the Millennium Falcon: Well I for one just think they didn't think of it. Force Awakens: Incredible Cross-Sections That her powerful engines and modular construction made her ideal forĬarrying cargoes of dubious legality. But as with many YT-1300s, an enterprising captain saw ![]() Recall her origins as an intermodal tug pushing containers in orbitalįreight yards. The Falcon’s side-mounted cockpit and the front-facing mandibles ![]() With the mandibles holding a cargo pod in place, the cockpit is sufficiently far away that the pod doesn't block the view ahead and to the right, at the cost of a view of the other side of the ship. As this rather nice wireframe shows, by looking out from the cockpit we can determine that the view from the left side of the ship is almost totally non-existent (blocked by the mandibles) whereas the starboard and front views are completely unimpeded.īased on the concept art below (and a quote from the fully canonical 'Force Awakens: Incredible Cross-Sections' factbook) we learn that the cockpit position was a function of the ship's intended function as a freight-pusher. I hope you guys take the time to drop by and give us tips, tricks and any and all input in helping bring the console to life.You're not wrong. What better way to finish off a project than to send it where it belongs. The overall plan is once the console is finished I will donate it to Chris Lee and his full scale MF build. I'm hoping to have working switches, lights, throttles and even the working monitor Han used to find the Lando System. this is a VERY rough shell and there is still an incredible amount of work to do to include the daunting task of identifying any and all parts on the console and in the cockpit in general. I created the basic shell in just a few hours. After a few trips to the local home improvement store and only one mis-measurement (GRRRR). With Stevestarkiller's help he was able to get me ALL the dimensions necessary to start the console build. I contacted Stevestarkiller and we chatted and before I knew it, I was studying his 3D model of the MF cockpit control panel and made the decision to jump in and build the one thing MOST OF US HERE have dreamt about doing - sitting behind the wheel of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. How many of us thought we were actually in the MF? Then I remembered the 1:1 scale MF being built in TN - just an hour or so away from where I live. I stumbled across Stevestarkiller's amazing 3D model of the MF and it simply BLEW ME AWAY! His attention to detail was mind boggling. Everyone here had inspired me to shake the dust off and get back to building. Having built and blown up models as a kid. After many years of looking at all the great builds I decided to become a member with the idea that I would tackle something "simple" like a 1/48th X-Wing build.
