As you know I bought a buttload of LED Christmas Lights. As cheap as they were and as "functional" as they were and looked, they just don't deliver or have the same visual impact as much as an actual LED would. I've been looking at flat head LEDs and I think that's the way to move forward. I think these are very sleek and visually appealing.

So has the full scale Falcon construction begun yet?

Hi C,

As you already know, the cockpit has started. And Chris Lee has begun work on the radar dish. Alas... no framing yet. Chris Lee and I chatted just last night re: framing and we're looking into s/w along with a few folks with the required experience. Cost is the biggest driver right now.

We can build all the little things - cockpit, nav computer, quad lasers, interior details, etc... but without something to put them in or attach them to... it all seems rather pointless! lol

I believe the site is being prepped for the concrete foundation. :) Hope this helps!

That's really cool to see that video and connect it to you guys here!! Amazing!

I really hope you guys aren't in tornado ally though...calling Geico and filing a damage claim on the Falcon might prove...difficult....

LOL!!

Living in Huntsville... When the tornados came through last April, it passed by about 1/2 mile from the house. It is pretty scary at times...

We could always call "Flo" and see if she could help?

heh heh, those look great! I was working from really grainy reference when I designed those ( I had a lot of trouble in Han's corner until recently). I discovered that they should have been more of the assorted-color 1/2" buttons that we see on the back wall and the console itself (the render I posted of the back-lit buttons has a much more accurate version of that panel.)

ESB seems to retain that panel layout pretty closely, but I think makes all the buttons white, with a few illuminated (need to verify that though)

Well, with the surface area of the Falcon...she could very well take flight one day!!! LOL!!
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

GREAT NEWS!

The switches I ordered... which is the same product number... changed. The thread is different (which isn't much of a big deal) but the actual depth is too short. I have to sand the back of the panel thin enough so the nut catches the threads. UGH...

The other option is to sand the bottom of nut down - that might be a little easier :)

UPDATE: I quickly sanded down one of the nuts - they fit perfectly! Disaster averted! :)

Hi Gang,

What do you think... red or blue? The blue is consistent with the ANH panel. The Red is more consistent with the ESB version. As you know, we're shooting for the ESB.

Ideas?
