Hi Gang,
So... remember that box of greeblies? There's even more coming...
Most of these greeblies are for one panel...
New cassette style greeblie
This greeblie has always baffled me. It looks like a clipper guard for hair clippers. They were everywhere...
Love this pic!
Random greeblie plates
Love this one too - have NO idea what it is
This one sits up near the "radar" screen. It appeared to have a "holo-projector/swivel vent" attached to the round circle. Jessie designed a 3D model we're printing
More work on the armrest greeblie - this one is going to be tough because of its location
The original idea was a simple wood shape
The famous door greeblie - this one was really difficult to design - limited images but figuring out the different layers wasn't easy
LOVE IT!
Another
This greeblie attaches to another panel
Here is the basic layout - still need to prepped and painted of course
This greeblie has kicked my butt - not sure why! UGH
Sorry about the flash. Once we paint them they look right at home
One of the 2 panel greeblies for the lower back panels
Jessie is off to the lab to cut even more so stay tuned!

Looks like I have a new greeblie to design!
Another shot in the dark: The T-shaped bracket also kind of reminds me of some sort of mortise latch. Similar to the one below, but turned around so we're seeing the back side of it, with the spring-loaded latch facing away.

Nope... I'm magic.
That's true. Her twin has no powers at all... kinda sad.

Hi Psi,
Thanks so much! Lots of design work but the real credit goes to J for the cutting! The actual part still remains a mystery. We think it might be a headlamp housing - to what we're not sure.

WHOA! Good find... Tough to know exactly... the original designers used vitually everything and anything.
YUP! Notice the new greeblie just to the right of JJA. It appears to be some kind of clear container?
SWEET! I am so happy right now.

I think it's some sort of new display that show images in the glass, as opposed to being projected off the glass.
The greeblie that was there is ESB and RotJ (which I happen to be working on right now) always reminded me a bulky ammo clip. The EpVII greeblie is very similar to a "sight glass flow indicator". So if we were to keep consistent with all the "special modifications" Han did to the MF and any mods in the last 30 years... I can only assume that this new part/greeblie would enhance performance. Just my opinion.

LOL you too, huh? The trailer was amazing! I'm so happy.
I was so glad they streamed the trailer. I enjoyed the opening of the event. Wish we could have been there! I have no doubt the audience went NUTS!
There is mass speculation to what's going on with Han and Chewie. My guess is that they have been looking for the MF and finally found her. I think they also stumble across Rey and Finn inside hence the drawn weapons. Not a spoiler - just an opinion.
Hi Gang,
I just got an email from Starkiller with this YouTube video of the Force for Change winner - DC Barns. Congrats to Mr Barns! In the video are detailed images/video of the Falcon! Check it out!

I've also posted some of the highlights!
Note the glow of the new armrest greeblie
That must have been an amazing experience! And with that said... WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!

I can't remember whether this was mentioned before, but is it a SketchUp model that you're using for reference and measurements? And if so, did you have to purchase the model or was it free? Nice work, by the way! Do you reckon you'll have the cockpit done in time for the new movie?
Hi 14thDr,
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm working very closely with Steve Starkiller who is also part of the FullScaleFalcon project. He created a 1:1 scale replica of the entire MF in SketchUp. Starkiller has worked for years on his model ensuring not only screen accuracy but he has taken the time to solve all the little mysteries between the interior and exterior full scale / on-screen props and sets. It's an amazing piece of work. You can actually photolay any image or screen grab of the ship and everything will align perfectly with his model! So... those are the plans I want to work from!
I'm really hoping to be further along these next few months but life gets in the way and def slows us down at times. But we are always moving forward. I can't and won't make any promises... but we can def keep our fingers crossed for that deadline!

I'll be watching this thread with great interest. I'm not sure. I looked on the Star Wars Wikia pages for both the Millennium Falcon and the YT-1300 Corellian Light Freighter, but I don't think there wasn't any mention of shield generators on either article.
