I'm looking for reference pictures of the fans (not the grills) on top of the 5-foot model. Does anyone have photos?

[EDIT to fix quote reference from jinnai to Junk Pilot, oops!]

Like Junk Pilot said, there are very few references for the fans used in the vents on the 5-footer...the best image I have of the area is below as well as a shot from the VFX reel of the 3D model used for TFA which you may be able to use to infer the detail if you so wish (you could also look at what the detail looks like on the Bandai TFA model)

Here's a detail from the Bandai TFA model

Thank you guys.
It looks as if they were circular and without details on the surface.
9 fan blades and not curved like the ones of the pc/notebook-fan

The original ones look like a front wheel hub from one of the big rig truck models.

Credit should go to Junk Pilot for this actually, it wasn't my quote.

Australia: Model Space Australia has confirmed that there will be a release this month. They'll post the information when it's available. Maybe next week?

Yay! I got a billing notice for "month" 12 and a shipping notice 2 days later like usual. The delays are fixed?

For me Pack 13 was billed and shipped on the back to normal schedule. I expect to receive it monday or tuesday.

I got 13 on Tuesday! Fastest turn around yet for me.

Found this image. Not good, but if anyone has the book perhaps they could scan the page. It's from this book: https://haynes.co.uk/catalog/general-interest-manuals/childrens/millennium-falcon-manual

Just a word of warning. the Haynes manual reference is nice and fairly accurate, but definitely not as nice of a reference as the stitched photos Jaitea shared. There are things missing. Most notibaly quite a bit of the battle damage on the docking ring, landing pads, and the cockpit tube. It's a copy of a copy.

How is the light layout? Looks like the best reference so far.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the light layout. I'm just familiar with the actual 32 inch studio model. I thought someone wanted paint, tick mark, streak reference. My mistake.

Here is another nice large shot of the bottom. Don't use it as a color reference, but fills in what Jaitea's photo is missing and has the complete turret. You can definitely see where to paint and mark everything.

I agree, It was merely a supplement so we could get an impression of the parts missing.

Maskull · Feb 16, 2016

I apologies if this has already been discussed. I just got month 13 and issue 50 says that photographs of the ILM model can be downloaded at www.buildmillenniumfalcon.com. I can't find the photos at the site. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Gary
