ANH 5' Falcon with Dykstraflex

[t2sides]

Hello All!
Wanted to share this incredible honor to setup and display my 5' Falcon Replica at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures as part of a two month long exhibit with the Original restored Dykstraflex and a beautiful X-Wing replica.
This exhibit will be on display until July 8 (Spielberg Family Gallery)

A huge shoutout to Gene Kozicki for making this happen (he also happens to be the builder of the gorgeous Xwing on display!)
Gene will also be doing live demonstrations of the motion controlled Xwing display, along with a presentation of the Dykstraflex and it moving down the track towards the Falcon. It's a great presentation, and well worth the visit if you are in the Hollywood area.

I also want to give a huge thanks to Andre Bustanoby and Rob McFarlane for their help unloading and setting up, Les Berstien for his delicate touch operating the Dykstraflex, and the many members of the Academy Museum for their support!

So with that, here's a bunch of pics of the exhibit.

Cheers!
-Sean

Very cool. Is there a way to see the accompanying video being shown with the exhibit? I won't have a chance to visit the museum in person.

It looks like 1975 in those pictures. Congrats Sean! That's as cool as it gets!

You certainly earned all the credit received with such fantastic work. Sharing this accomplishment by such displays over the years is no small effort and the generosity is greatly appreciated.
