Screen Accurate Millennium Falcon Cockpit (CG Model)

I'm going to take a stab - did you grab some reflector dishes from the TOS Enterprise?

 

[SteveStarkiller]

Vaderios and Sofaking, thanks!

Mattkelly, nope that's not it.

I'll give a hint, you can see it best in the third render from the top.

I noticed that one part was an entire famous vessel, so I found a low res model of it and scaled it down and painted it one color. Saved me a lot of time, and made me feel part of a great tradition, heh. Bonus points if you can spot the kitbashed part.

HMMMMM... I have no idea...

 

[SteveStarkiller]

Don't think Sci-Fi, think NASA

You got it.

I'm going to be kitbashing more and more from here on out, referring back to the Kit ID threads for the 5' Falcon. Really saves me a hell of a lot of time. Kind of feels like cheating, but then again not at all.

Have a look through these, i found some real gems to help me with my echo base scene. Pretty much feel like it's my birthday after finding some of these shots.

Hey, thought I'd try to give back on the reference side of things:

Flooby Nooby: Empire Strikes Back - Rare Documentary

footage from a lost ESB documentary, including extensive shots in Echo base, Cloud City, and even some shots of Falcon interior under construction. Quality is sadly a little low, but there's a lot of mystery spots (in Echo base especially), that I'd never seen even blurry, so I'm happy.

in the meantime, I working out all kinds of new details based on that image LordHorus posted, including all new textures. New reference is such a blessing and a curse: my instant reaction was "So awesome look at all the details I never could see before! .... look at all the work I have to do..."

WOW check at: 9:18 of the documentary the fully operational rebel ice tank... Not shown on screen but in some still promotional photos!!!

Excellent! I've never seen any part of that before. I love the technical aspects of heating the film in the spools and changing out the oil for the colder temperatures.
