Ralph McQuarrie Millennium Falcon

[ShadoWorx]

Excellent. I have always been fascinated with the concept ships and sets that weren't used in filming. This is a beautiful example.

Looks good...........I like the McQuarrie style......

Thanks NCC1968, I love the final Falcon design, but McQuarrie's are something else

Wow!!!! That is absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks crackerjazz, hopefully I'l get it finished.....someday

Subscribed!

Thanks

Personal opinion--not at all. In fact, this more "subtle" version looks like it could be what the Falcon looked like when Han won it from Lando, and that the "busier" version in the movies is several years later after Han and Chewie worked on it to make repairs, improve it's performance, or simply keep it flying.

If I had your skills and patience I'd try to duplicate what you've done here; very effective!

Thanks Zombie, it would be cool if the new spin-off movies could show an earlier Falcon

Nice project,very clean work,looking forward to this:thumbsup
Don

Thanks Talkierg

it's great to see mcquarries' vision take physical form

It's still a long way off completion, hopefully it'll end up alright

The details are amazing. The cockpit looks spot on! This is a really cool project.

Reminds me of ord mantell for some reason :<

 

[Kyuzo]

Stunning!
Also very pleased to see you getting along with this at a pace as I am dying to see your next MPC Falcon update.
No pressure though.

 

[SteveStarkiller]

Looks awesome, man! Love the seats. Referencing the Johnston sketches of the early cockpit, if I'm not wrong? Got any photos of the cockpit you built up close?

keep up the good work!

 

[SofaKing01]

You've done a great job so far!

I’m really enjoying your work here. It’s very refreshing to see this version of the MF and your great details makes this all the more exciting to see.

Cockpit looks great,love it:thumbsup

Thanks Talkierg, the cockpit & the docking rings have been the main pains!

Just keeps getting cooler and cooler looking!

Thankyou LordSarvain, I hope it ends up cool

Nice! I really like what you've done with it.

Is that a SW game Dao2?

Stunning!

I know Kyuzo,....so am I, I'm dying to get back to the MPC,.....it feels like I'm cheating on her!

Thanks Steve, yes....trying to work in the JJ sketches- these close=ups look a bit rough:

I'm looking forward to making the prongs that you drew my attention to, gonna call them the Starkillers

You've done a great job so far!

Thanks SofaKing

Thanks Randy13, It's funny how you get used to a particular design, I wasn't are how this ship would look lie with most of the service openings covered, but I'm getting used to the look of this

Some more photos:

Thankyou guys for looking

It's a planet in the SW universe ;p The cockpit just has that feel for some reason. It's been in a few SW games I believe. Awesome updates btw

It's also mentioned briefly in ESB, in the ice corridor when Leia is trying to convince Han to stay, Han cites the bounty hunters they ran into at Ord Mantell being a good reason for him to move on.

Just wanted to say how cool this is! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Jaitea]

Thank you guys

I wanted to have a go at putting some paint on her, it's no where near finished on top, but I sprayed it anyway, I'm happy enough at the first attempt

Thanks guys

John

 

[Wouldchop]

Wow man.
A worthy hommage to the design style of McQuarrie.
I really enjoy this thread.

 

[Harish]

I really like this!!! Keep posting progress pics my friend!

 

[LordSarvain]

The paint job really gives it that "lived in" look of the original trilogy, awesome stuff!

 

[Bondo Fett]

This build is a delight! I love your approach and your choice of detail, it is totally in line with the ILM style, while honoring McQ's concepts. Your surface texture is so well integrated, its like it could be another 1300-type freighter. Really looking forward to your finished paint job (although it looks great in gray primer).

If it is not too much trouble, when you finish her would you be able to give us a list of the various kits used for the greebs? Nothing as comprehensive as a part map, just a list.

"What a piece of junk!"

Damn you Mr J, mind-blowing once again!
