5’ Millennium Falcon - Proposed Blueprints (ver_001):
Next up, Phase 2 will involve hanging donor kit parts off the proposed CG geometry to continue to check my measurements and assumptions.
For example, this next image – an example of null locator reference of key landmarks in 3D, derived from both the modeled donor kit parts and stills reference.
Also, I will update some of the incomplete areas (docking ring detailed measurements and the rear bottom engine box) with more standard blueprint images. For example:
I will also be laying out the real donor kit parts on physical subassemblies as a final check before I move into Phase 3 – the actual build.
Please feel free to review, critique and comment – I’m sure I’ll need to revise a few of these measurements (i.e. the placement and dimensions of the cockpit and access tunnel) and I look forward to the feedback…
And one last thing – the latest geometry comped into a shot from SW.

Generally, it looks pretty close – except the cockpit area. It’s either too tight into the body, too far back or my lens distortion is not quite “right” – or all of the above!
Nevertheless, time to move on and actually build this bird.
