Brilliant work so far!!! I think I might start my own Millennium Falcon control console in the New Year. I've heard that the Haynes Workshop Manual for this particular vessel has details on the different controls, and even instructions for flying the old girl.
Could you possibly tell me how wide the overall console is, and how long it is (with the central part included)? And lastly would you be able to tell me the width of the central control panel?
Kind regards, The14thDr
Hi The14thDr,
Thanks so much! I'm pretty sure there is a free SketchUp model of the console somewhere that was originally done by Starkiller - he has created the entire MF in 3D - AMAZING! That's where we get all out models/dimensions from. Here is a link to one of his threads. Drop him a PM. I'm pretty sure he knows where it might be.

I remember watching this when I was a kid thinking to myself "... something is wrong... this doesn't look anything like what I saw at the movies..."
But at least they have a front window...

That's more like the "Cheech and Chong" version of the Falcon ...with a little bit of "Dumb and Dumber" and "Red Green" mixed in.
LOL! I can just imagine Cheech and Chong behind the controls...
