1:1 Millennium Falcon Cockpit Replica - Group Build

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Hi Gang,

I was really hoping to be A LOT farther along but these angle cuts have been killing me. Mitre cuts ARE NOT EASY! I've had to go back and forth from the garage to the computer getting all the angles / measurements right before cutting... And Math was not my strongest subject in school... :)

This is where I am

I'm pressing on
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Hi Gang,

Some friends popped over and well... I didnt get a whole lot finished... GRRRRRR... Tomorrow will be different... :)
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I think it was in the digital, blue ray, rerelease, special edition, 30th anniversary with never before unseen enhanced footage with 8.1 super digital stereo surround sound? That's what I heard...
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Absolutely unreal my friend. I've been gone working all week and i come back to this!!!!! You are doing a great job, and your dedication to the project is outstanding! (have you even seen your wife or girlfriend since starting;) Thank you for posting all the great pictures, and providing all the steps and information on parts. This is a great pleasure to watch come together. Brian
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I finished ALL the compound mitre cuts and the panels are glued up... UGH... As you'll notice, I changed the width of the board. Weight will be a concern and I'm not sure how this going to mount - when we get to that point. :)

Hi B,

Much thanks for the kind words. :) You've been away far too long...

Have I seen my GF? We split up a few weeks back and haven't heard a peep from her - I guess thats normal when you split up? So I've been trying to occupy my time with this fun project.

I have some awesome greeblies for you - shoot me a PM with your address and I'll get them out ASAP.

Are you back for the time being? Will we see some updates?

Sweet man, I'll PM you tonight. I am back for a while, and I will be cranking hard on the basement, so updates soon. Keep up the work brother, it looks fantastic!
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

OK Guys...

I have to admit when I bought the PVC I wasnt exactly sold on the idea. I really didn't think it would work... well... I'm pumped! Check it out!

Attaching the PVC mounts

LOTS OF BOLTS and NUTS and WASHERS and etc... I had to make several trips to the improvement store this afternoon. That ate into a lot of time

FINALLY got the side panels mounted

In all a pretty good day! I still have a lot of work to do in mounting the PVC and to create support as well.

A quick note: That's a 6 foot table. That's how big this sucker is!

Stay Tuned!

Thank you very much, my friend! This project is definately turning in to a labor of love... I'm really looking forward to the striping and weathering you'll be doing on your build. You can't leave us hanging like this... :)
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Added a few more permanent greeblies to the console...

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Quick update during lunch. I'm hoping these parts come together...

Back soon
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I wont be able to paint the quad once finished. I'm assuming that it be best to paint the entire exterior / exterior pieces of the MF on site. So, I'll prime it up and then send it to Chris Lee for storage... Not right away of course... For a few months I'll mount it near the front door or on the top of the car... :)
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Hi Gang,

No updates today. Sorry. Had one of those days and just need to take a breather...

Stay Tuned

LOL! :)

I'll be back out this afternoon working on the quad - sanding, adding more beauty panels and support(s) then hopefully laying some primer down.

I've been a little hesitant getting started on the throttle housing. After looking at the original design I later realized that each "throttle" was separate from one another. So I'm not sure how I want to proceed using the existing throttle quadrant?

We'll see

Looking great, that formica looks nice and clean!

so, looks like my rockers are a bit too big. I measured them off a rebel chest box, (from a face-on photo with a ruler in frame) I hadn't checked if it was screen accurate, lunk head that I am. It was close to the vader chestbox measurements and proportioned pretty well, but mine was about 120% too big.

a lesson about taking measurements off photos with rulers in them...

anyway, here's a comparison

What did you end up doing about this?
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Steve sent me the correct measurements for the various types and I'll be making them soon (my other project is taking my time up at the mo, sorry) along with the light covers.

I'm looking forward to dedicating some proper time to this project, but juggling them is getting hard. Hope that's ok :confused

On a lighter note, I've got a bag of greeblies for you G :thumbsup I'll be sending it your way very soon ;)
