I have been planning one myself. I wish I had a 3d printer as it would really help.

Yes it is from that kit. I'll be working on more today. I'm also thinking about picking up one of those Elegoo Mars resin printers...
Okay, so I went a little crazy and made an ultra-complete set that includes a dozen doors for a full 360 diorama, and a bunch of other details like the vertical posts on the "southern" side of the set (if the engines are at the north, say) and the little box with wires coming out of it next to the blue box. I also made a bunch of the wall drain type thingies that appear everywhere. But those take up a lot of room and thus add considerable expense to the print. What do you think?

Also noticed a continuity error I'd never seen before - the three L-shaped pipes with a control panel on the left of the screen as our heroes enter the docking bay has three equally tall pipes in the wide shot, but the right-hand pipe is shorter on the medium shot.
Also the curved section of the pipe has a slightly wider diameter than the vertical. I've now replicated that on my model, but it does look a bit fake as a result. Hrm.

Well, if they're a separate print they still cost money. Plus you'd have the setup charges for another print. Unless you went for a cheaper material, and the wall drains could be made from cheap "versatile" plastic if you really wanted.
Anyway. I'm up to about 150 pieces in the ultra complete set. That's a lotta cash, so I doubt anyone will go for it. Still, I might print it myself someday...

Agreed... it looks like it fits with everything else. I have a dewback on the way, too... This one, to be exact:

If the Dewback is not too out of scale then it might also be worth it to get the Bantha. I have all three of those in my Wish List for ages now but kept finding other priorities to get
Oooh! A bantha?! I'll get and then you'll know for sure.

actually you get these as well if you get the battle pack. Figures might be a bit large, but maybe close enough for "stunt work"

By the way, have you seen this docking bay diorama?

Diorama "DOCKING BAY 94" per falcon deagostini - Pagina 4 - Forum Modellismo.net
Piccola revisione delle gru. Ho aggiunto unestensione.

Cheers !!!
That is a beautiful build! The only issue I have is that the Deagostini Falcon is the ESB version. The ANH version is the one that sits in Docking Bay 94, especially with the scene that diorama is representing, and mine.

Well, who knows, perhaps they wet there after ESB upgrades.... wait the Lando version also had the front side landing gear bays! Lol!
The one thing that feel "against" is the entrance on the wrong side,somehow I feels that it shuould be on the "other" side.

The Lando version does have the 5 bays until the Kessel Run. After that, it really only had 2 until repairs were done. There are minor differences on top of the 32" version used in ESB as compared to the ANH 5' version. The good news for that build is: the underside will never be seen...lol... So, it doesn't really matter too much. But I know...lol
