I am astounded at the quality of this model. Honestly it. is. fantastic. I can't get over how brilliant it is.
You are so lucky! Or well connected. I would have loved to see that thing in person.It was definitely smaller than it had been depicted before but the one at the base in ROS was a real set piece. I got to visit it and it was the most mind blowing thing I've ever seen. It was like standing under an Boeing 747.
Wow, I did not know that. Yeah, that must've been impressive. LUCKY DUCK!It was definitely smaller than it had been depicted before but the one at the base in ROS was a real set piece. I got to visit it and it was the most mind blowing thing I've ever seen. It was like standing under an Boeing 747.
Kind of fitting that the Falcon(s) are being scavenged for the runner - considering the Runner was the Falcon originally... kind of poetic .I checked my greeblies inventory today and found that I have bought 5 1/144 milli falcon over the past few years. I get them whenever I see them going for cheap on ebay. All of them have missing parts that went into my two builds. So non of the kits are complete. In all these time, I have not ever built a complete falcon!

As for those old school Judges - Next time tell them (the truth) that the original SW models did not have any glass in the because it reflected too much light and caught too much of the blue form the FX Screens... If it was good enough for ILM it should be good enough for them... They will still likely poo poo you - but at least you schooled them. I've found many "regular" model shows discount sci-fi subjects as amatureish... screw them!
blood sweat and tears got me onto that set! I've authored a couple of Star Wars books (just craft books not fiction) and managed to get an invite. I teared up when I saw it. They even let me have a photo -You are so lucky! Or well connected. I would have loved to see that thing in person.
Wow! I checked out your books! Your papercrafts are fantastic! I think I will get a book for my 10 year old to work on. And I am very glad you got to see the set. The weathering on that ship is really quite something. I wish I had a chance to see it. I wonder whether it was dismantled or still sitting somewhere in a warehouse.blood sweat and tears got me onto that set!

that's very kind of you. I hope they enjoy it! I suspect the set was completely dismantled and destroyed... I'll ask my friend though. He's was (primarily) a character concept artist for the trilogy. He might know.Wow! I checked out your books! Your papercrafts are fantastic! I think I will get a book for my 10 year old to work on. And I am very glad you got to see the set.
