Hi Gang,
I have been plugging away working 16+ hours a day trying to get ready for this weekend's Escape Velocity SciFi Con in Wash DC! I am both excited and exhausted but Jake and I have made some serious forward progress! We even had a visitor named Mike pop in and help out!
Here are a few teaser images before the show!

TONS of images on the way AFTER the Convention.
Stay Tuned! LOTS of big news coming within the next few weeks!
Hey SofaKing, you MUST have seen this, as it has been up since TFA, I'm guessing, but I'll put it up here anyway. The 360 rotatable image of the Falcon cockpit is pretty cool. I don't think it's CG? I can't tell, but it looks like the set...

It's interesting to me how off the TFA cockpit is in places. You'd think with the level of fandom in and out of the industry and modern design tools, it would be easier for them to get it closer than they did.
I don't think it's lazyness or lack of research/reference. I think it's more a matter of how much time and money it would take to get a 100% accurate replica, when only a few dozen people would be able to tell the difference. Keep i mind that the rpf falcon freaks must represent something like 0.00000001% of the overall star wars audience. So if getting it only to 90% close to the original is enough for the majority, they are not going to waste more time and money... or it's just a lazy desig team.
