takes one to know one. I tip my hat to you sir.
glad to hear it Ozzy. Thanks for the compliments folks!
ok, so I got really bored at work and starting dreaming up how I would approach the full interior of the falcon. That is, what artistic license I would take if I went for the whole deal. I started fooling around with the rough layout below, and did some more screencap research. I think I may have come up with a logical location, and layout, of the med bay that I don't know if I've seen done before, but correct me if I'm wrong.
as you can see from the screencap below, the med bay bunk is on a wall that's perpendicular to one of the types of rings that recur around the falcon in association with the padded rings:

It seemed to me that if you took one of the segments of the corridors, took out the outer wall and stuck the med bay into it, you'd get what you see in my layout.
here it is in the rough layout I came up with. I put a hatchway to an escape pod bay (which mirrors the ramp hatch on the opposite side), and then I put the medbay just beyond that, because in ESB we see three segments of the port corridors and we know there's nothing attached to them.

(please ignore the fact that the scale is weird and the cockpit corridor doesn't match. I'm just fooling around here with an interior layout, not trying to solve the ship of riddles.)
when I built a model of the new med bay layout, it fit perfectly. A render to follow

what do you guys think?
.
...Everything in here has been stared out for countless hours, reexamined, rebuilt, fretted over, deleted, lost in data errors, rebuilt, rebuilt again for good measure.
on a side note, anybody recognize the little mini forklift in the background? I had thought it was a droid from the screencaps I was looking at, but one day realized it's just a plain old forklift. even has a steering-wheel... which just somehow feels out of place in star wars.
here's a picture of the real guy:

and here again in the left-hand background. Plus, I just love this photo...

Hey CEC,
some ways back in this thread, someone posted fairly clear views of the boxes and levers in the upper canopy of the ESB cockpit, but I haven't been able to actually identify the parts that were used.
I've been working on a theory, as yet unproven, that in the ANH cockpit, some of the levers were recycled in the deathstar tractor beam set, and in Yavin base. The levers have some kind of large D ring shape attached to yet another C3P0 Leg Piston (notably appearing as the throttle levers in the Falcon's cockpit)
These two images show the lever I mean

and in this picture you can see the silhouette doesn't quite confirm it, but looks like it could be possible. I'm open to suggestions

How cool does this look?
