MR Falcon Asteroid base!

I think that i may extend the asteroid to cover the whole bas. It looks a little odd i think...

I agree. The base needs to be larger than the falcon by about half the width of the falcon again.

Other than that it will be a masterpiece.



cheers for posting.

Sorry but i don't really like it, don't be angry with me. It distract from the model and the Falcon is to close to it.

And when painted it could look like Han is emtying the chemical toilet like cousin Eddie in Christmas Vacation

I must admit, I think the Falcon is too close to the surface of the asteroid base. I also agree that if you're going to use this idea, it should extend out to the edges of the base.

I always thought that part of the Cloud City landing platform would make a very cool base for the Falcon.

I think it will look great when its done, just like everyone else has said maybe extend it. also if you were to make the asteroid more flatter/shallower tehn maybe the falcon wouldnt look as close to it?

Paul

I agree, whole base, about half as tall and make a couple craters........make one at least 1/4th the size of the base. Paint it potato brown.........LOL

I really love this whole idea you've got going!

Thats Funny , i was watching that on DVD yesterday! "Merry Xmas , Sh**ter was full!"


I must admit im not convinced either. I may start over and cover the entire base!
I was also toying with the idea of a white snow base. Not sure but its all good fun!
As we speak i have had another idea!

Well i scrapped the one pictured above. I have covered the whole base with tiles but even with no plaster on , the left hand side of the ship still looks very close. I may have to abandon this idea and make a better base. I dont mind , it was after all only an experiment. Now to fabricate a new stand , mwa ha ha!

I always thought it would be sweet to see an MR Falcon in a Docking Bay 94 base with little Sandtroopers shooting from the door, like that overhead scene in the SE ANH, the 'new' computer generated one.

Found it, this one:



Or maybe this one, it's so classic and iconic:

I would scrap the asteroid base. It's too close to the model and honestly, just doesn't display well that way. I would rather do the floor on tatooine when it takes off after being attacked by sandtroopers. The falcon's pose looks more geared to that scene anyway.

Thanks for the input guys. The tatooine idea sounds cool!

Yeah docking bay 94, all the way Andrew, itll look killer! I saw one of these at a show once, it was the lego 32" with the tatooine docking bay built around it, even though it was Lego, it looked awesome.

I agree. The Tatooine base would look great.

You know what else you can add to it? Maybe get Chris King's sculptor to make some sandtroopers in scale blasting away at the Falcon.. add them to the base, make the ultimate Diorama.

I would Love to see what some of you could do with the Death Star docking bay scene. I remember a few people toying with the idea of landing gear... that would be awesome!!! And yeah if CKs sculptor made TKs that would work there too!!!

I think the asteroid is a very cool idea but I agree that at the very least it should be not as tall on the base. Or maybe construct a new stand in which the falcon sits much higher from the base.

Lots of input wow. I must admit im really coming round to that idea. The asteroid has been scrapped but it was fun to build. Some ideas work some dont. Good fun!
