Getting intimate with the Falcon

[PHArchivist]

Copy away... I won't throw a sh.t fit if you guys copy these, but would appreciate credit if you post them anywhere.

These are from the LA exhibit of Star Wars: Where Science Meets The Imagination. It is the slightly less popular 5' model.

Bear in mind these images are less than half their original size.

Enjoy...

Big thanks to Wackychimp.... :cheers

Sadly, no... Was hoping it'd be at this display, but no...

Great photos...

Looks like they used the same Koolshades material used for the Tie wings on the rear exhaust vents and around the cockpit, the pattern is very similar.

I'll always have a place in my heart for the "big" girl. . .
*sigh*
Excellent pics.

Yes, excellent pics. Thanks for sharing. Been awhile since I last saw the big model.

Great pics, thank you.

Did anyone ever figure out why it had reflective tape on it? Was it actually meant to be part of the build, or did it serve some other purpose?

Many thanks for posting these PH.

I could spend a 40 hour week looking at all those details....amazing. BTW I like the "Champion" spark plugs sticker.

I agree. I've seen this thing twice, and I could just walk around it forever. Just looking and seeing new things each time. The people I went with were ready to go and I was nowhere near ready.
