While we wait for updates and more leaked Falcon set photos, I just want to plug SteveStarkiller's amazing work again, in case anyone has not seen it yet... Videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/finfito/videos and still images here: http://deeplyobsessed.blogspot.com/ created with Google SketchUp. Lucasfilm needs to hire this guy.
I want to second this motion. I've worked with some amazing folks over the years but I have never in my life worked with someone that has such an attention to detail! This project would not be where it is today (if at all) without Starkiller! I thank you, my friend!

Thanks guys!
funny story, they did contact me, but my knowledge and experience weren't up to snuff. Creative is a damn tough field out there folks.

huh... Yours are some of the most accurate SW computer renderings I've seen. You would think that says something for you.

They just called to say they love you? They just called to say how much they care? But they didn't mean it from the bottom of their wallet. Unfortunately that's the usual story in design - I have a few similar experiences like that, including my first draft for the exterior of a large cinema that actually got used but with just enough minor adaptations to call it their own lol. All I got was 'no sleep' for a month.
Steve - I would love to hear all about that. My guess they wanted you to have more technical CAD skills to convert your design?
Wow - these pictures are amazing. My guess is someone regarding VII design ventures to this forum. From that picture it looks like they found the correct ejection seats for the NAV seats. Good for them and not an easy task.
My guess is we will see more of the Falcon interior in VII than we ever have. I can see the heroes hanging out inside. Probably fast moving shots following the actors as they walk around.
Now - if we just see IG88, the circle will be complete

Hi Gang,
TOTAL FRUSTRATION! I've been trying to set up the files to cut the new center console and SketchUp, as usual, is giving me very different measurements each and almost every time. I've been working for the past 3.5 hours to include having to install SketchUp 3 times... I'm beyond frustrated! I can't get an accurate measurement to create the file for the CNC!
GRRRRRR I officially hate SketchUp! lol
EDIT: I'm never one to give up... but this is truly an epic failure and I'm tossing my hands in the air and walking away from SketchUp. I'm going to work off the physical model from this point forward!

Hi folks,
I'm going to interrupt the picture fest for just a moment with a technique question, me being the novice I am.
I finally have a couple of good models for my printer to chug out for the gun- halves of the muzzle and front cone of the blast chamber (ok, making up names, but anyway) once I get them printed and cleaned up, what would be the best method of setting up molds for them? They have both interior and exterior surfaces I need. I have never molded anything, so we are talking elementary education here. Any suggestions? Feel free to pm me.
Ok, now back to those photos!

I've to illuminate the "aco-self"-drain in front of my driveway!
You should. That would look pretty! lol
Hi Gang,
Another VERY busy non-falcon related weekend. I really need to hunker down. Time is def running out!
I was able to knock out a few more panels and laser cut a few items for another panel...
I love the laser cutter
These will be painted black and ????
Marking the lines for pin stripes
More lines
Aligning the extension PS
Done
Started this guy!
Lots of little dings
PS pulled the paint
Most of the dings have been fixed... More to Follow!

Happy Monday! I love a good Monday morning update!
I know... You're right... :facepalm

There is a shot from the OT of the main hull next just left of the nav computer where all the pipes and wires run behind an open access panel - that would have made more sense to me. But... I love it either way! lol

I have to sit and catch my breath!

This is the toughest part of all!

If I remember, the pads are in fact flush with the cockpit panels so it would make sense if these are as well... But in 30 years to think no changes have been made?

Starkiller and I have been chatting off line... I think he and I will be picking the new MF set apart piece by piece! I don't want to do that! I want to be able to sit and enjoy the movie... but as deep as we both into the build (more so Starkiller) I know we'll be putting the entire set under a microscope! lol
My guess is that Lucas saved the cockpit and has kept it under wraps. Starkiller's 3D model of the console (which was based on the OT console) was photomatched with both the OT and the leaked images of the ST (sequal trilogy) console and both consoles are a perfect fit!
However, Starkiller isn't sure about the Martin Baker ejection seats. He thinks something might be off (unless he's changed his mind?)

Hey SB,
Happy Monday! Updates are fun. Especially when we see some actual forward progress!
