They look great! I also like how you made the front of the console appear to be a separate piece. Was there a pick that showed that?

I'm getting to the point where I have to start thinking about seating... At the very least I'll need a pilot and co-pilot seat.

You can see the split pretty clearly in it. I'm pretty sure it was used to gain access to the internal wiring, as were the rear-most panel and the gray panel on Han's side along the center section. This is totally my inference though.

It also makes that part easier to fabricate, since most of the cuts are perpendicular now.

I never even noticed it! I assumed the "very" front panel popped off. That was something I excluded from my build. I just added a pinstripe.

I could be. It's anyone's guess at this point, no?

Does anyone know if any of these set pieces survived? Makes you wonder about the upcoming Disney revivals. I wonder how glammed-up things will get (shudders)...
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I KNOW! It blows my mind! I would think after the success of the first film they would have auctioned off some of the more popular pieces - cockpit, chess table, quads, ramp, radar, etc...

Heartbreaking... BUT... somebody has something! They must!

Oh dear. That is very very sad to see...

On the bright side, it was the wrong scale! Right, guys? It's not so bad. Right?

o_O

Also didn't see cockpit part in the heap...

Which might be a good sign! Unless it was scraped at a different time... But I would think somebody would have saved something... It would be difficult walking to your car with a full scale X-Wing under your coat...

As far as the holographic chess table goes, I thought the original was on display at what used to be MGM Studios in Orlando. If not, I guess I have a honeymoon photo of me standing beside nothing more than a reproduction :unsure

Anything too big would have been scrapped before the film even came out unfortunately. I imagine a LOT is left in the archives though as evidence by the exhibits that pop up now and then.

At the very least you'd think after ESB that they would have saved some of that stuff but it was a bit of a different world then.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I just remembered I read "somewhere" that Anthony Daniels saved some pieces of the Falcon. But I'm not sure whether this is factual or what pieces he has.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Holy crapsicles!! This is really awesome... Is it more than a prop... It may be in fact a bit of a set!! :D very impressed!! :)

Hi Gang,

Had a late office meeting last night so I wasn't able to get to any of the panels. But... here are some pics of how CLOSE the switches are to each other - and how I lucked out not having to fill the holes or worse, rebuild the panels! WHEW!!!!

Close Up - looks good - no worries right?

I found some old camera parts on Ebay and thought they might work as greeblies. These are not attached. I still have a many more switch knobs to add but... What do you guys think of this piece?

Hi Gang,

After taking those pics of the switches I went into panic mode again... Side by side, the switches are fine. Vertically spaced, there is a minor problem. Two switches aren't an issue. 5 swicthes and the spacing gets too tight for the 4th and 5th switch. Not enough to rebuild - but just enough to do a little sanding of the edge of the 5th hole... again... whew!!!!

From the front - they look really cool!

From the back... whoops... spacing is just a bit tight...

I've got to get back in the game and put my thinking cap back on...

Nothing 2 seconds on a disc sander won't cure. The plastic housings on those switches should be pretty thick, so maybe you can just shrink the few odd balls...
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I figure I'll just sand the holes down a little further... It won't take much
