hi! maybe a bit off-topic-y but you probably all remember that site: ship of riddles by Robert Brown? about the Falcon, when I found it again I tough of all of you guys and was wondering what version of the Falcon's blue-prints are you following? we are talking about that very site/idea/plan/ in this thread: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=165721, and even though I don't want to Hijack Sofa's thread, maybe the two topics come close to each other, no?
What bit of the ship are han and leia stood in when he goes to kiss her in ESB only for 3PO to interput?
I’ve seen Steve’s YouTube video (I’m gonna watch it again!!) and it is indeed nothing short of amazing. Changes to the exterior size where to be expected, the exteriors don’t match because the ship is too small!! I’m glad you are going with a good blueprint, I take the forward hold is located squarely center, behind the mandibles right?Hey BK,
Actually, the two topics do go hand in hand. The question of which plans are we following is not out of the ordinary. As you may know, Steve Starkiller has done an absolutely amazing job getting both the interior sets and the exterior sets to match up. While this did compromise both interior and exterior screen accuracy, the visual impact is so MINIMAL that you either don't even notice it or have to no choice but to accept the minor changes in order for the ship to even exist - i.e. the quad station tunnel and the overall size of the exterior. So, Starkillers full scale 3D rendering is our master plan / blueprint. The areas of "concern" are the "never been on screen" areas of the ship.
For me, the blueprints, cut away models and other various iterations of the MF are all works of art. The time and effort all these talented folks put forth is nothing short of amazing! However, areas like the engines and engine "bay" seem to fall short of what I feel that particular part of the ship should / would look like within a "used" and heavily greeblied universe when compared to all the other SW vehicles.
I always felt the engine bay would be a cramped space similar to a submarine with these massive boiler like tubes with an exorbitant amount of greeblies attached projecting out from the center of the engine bay to the back of the ship. But even that falls short of what I feel is the best and only solution. Imagine if the original 1977 ILM designers had / took the opportunity / time to sketch out and design what "their" vision of the engines would have been had the original story / script called for a shot of Han or Chewie working on said engines. I can't even imagine what Joe Johnston and Co would have come up with. For me, that would be something really exciting and something special because it would be coming from the original designers and visionaries! And it would immediately become cannon!
Using the "SW Sketch Books" and the "Art of SW" as inspiration, I've done sketch after sketch of what I think the engines could / would look like if we were to ever reach that point of the build. Starkiller and I have even collaborated on a few 3D designs but held off posting any images as they were only concepts and we were nowhere near that point of the build. I can post some images if you are all interested?
I’m gonna go with Matt here: POST THEM!!!!post those images!!!!!
Quite a few, but the ride will be amazing!!Anywho, I hope this helps and gives you an idea of where we're headed and some of the fun obstacles we see ahead of us!
Imagine you're Luke practicing with the saber, looking at Obi-Wan. Follow the wall behind him to your right. The alcove is in the corner, to the left of the port side circular corridor opening.
(not that that part of the set existed in ANH, but you get me...)
Han, and later Threepio, enter from the entrance from the hold. Leia exits screen left, aft, to some area never seen.
That alcove was turned into a closet in TFA. (where Han gets blasters for Finn and Rey)
