"studio scale" McQuarrie Falcon

[moffeaton]

This is a test print - a proof of concept, if you will. The next print will be in ABS so I can just weld all the styrene down to it. But thought you guys would like to see the start of a back back back burner project of mine, for a rainy day - a one-off 32" McQuarrie Falcon

Many Bothans died to bring me this far - mostly Stinson and Docmani

Looking forward to seeing this. :thumbsup

You guys with 3d printers make me jealous lol. Can't wait to see it, i love seeing the original concepts built into kits.

You get all the good toys, 3d printers are like christmas morning simulators

I will have one, one day! Until then, my friends who have them get hounded

Not to mention to the laser cutter.

Very cool project always love the concept stuff

Well yeah, that thing gets used almost every day!

I just love the design of it. My first thought was maybe using something like that as the basis for the 5ft Falcon sub-structure.

 

[vectorzero]

Exactly what I was thinking....

This is gonna be one to watch.

 

[moffeaton]

I thought this was a pretty dang clever thing to build off of, too! Doc is going to move the engine area's armature inward some more, to make room for lights, and I also realized we need the hex heads to be flush and not proud - they will interfere with the skinning!

Wow,.....this is interesting,.....cant wait to see more

5 ft armature??? the picture goes from his shoes to just above the knee... Jason might be a big man on campus - but he is human for crying out loud :lol

[moffeaton]

No! 32" style

 

[Junk Pilot]

Even though I knew this was for the 32in McQuarrie version when I saw the image of the armature I thought that might be a good design for the innards of a 5ft Falcon as opposed the standard method.

Ah... it would be scaled up - the plastic certainly looks "beefy" enough for it
