1:1 Millennium Falcon Cockpit Replica - Group Build

They said when they built the TFA cockpit they discovered the ESB/ROTJ set was a little bigger than the ANH, so they split the difference.

The ESB version was DEF longer that the ANH version. They added the 15" extension ring between the main panels and nose. It does appear that the TFA shelf might be a bit smaller making it easier to get in and out of the seats.
 
Let's not forget there is "Mudtroopers" featured in this film, so if the Falcon ends up on a planet that requires troopers prepared for mud, it'll only take one visit to destroy that clean white interior in my opinion.

Hey A,

Maybe they ditch the MF in the mud avoid detection?

Hi Gang,

FINALLY! Its time for that "End of the Weekend Update"! Saturday I wasn't able to do much as I had a few things to take care but I jumped back into it today! As you all know, I never get as far as I would have liked. The humidity was WAY up today and that makes it tough for paint to dry. But... Enjoy!

Time to get all these new Nav Chair greeblies Iz printed for me finished up and ready for mounting!

Lots and lots of primer!

You can see many areas that will need more than just primer

I then jumped to the new compressor - I removed the inner ring so the clear acrylic tube would fit

Wonder what Han did to make all of the white corridor pads turn grimy yellow so quick?... hmmmmm...

I thought the same thing! I love how they're paying homage to Ralph MQs original concept painting: minimal greeblies, flat radar, etc... It's gorgeous! I hope the story is awesome! :)

You know, in the earlier days I can imagine that Han probably was a heavy smoker. Or Chewie perhaps. I mean, look at that giant Hookah that Jabba had? And is there probably some backstory here? Hm. Maybe Han DIDN´T chute the loot when the Imperial Cruiser showed up. Now we know why Jabba really was so p-o-ed about that, because Han simply messed with Jabba´s weekend plans.
