1:1 Millennium Falcon Cockpit Replica - Group Build

JonnieLP · Jan 5, 2018

Here are two more. One is from the book Bengirm09 sent pictures of, the other one is from I think a year ago. It did that just for fun

The one from the book (Shield Generator)

The one I did a year ago (Nav. Display in the Cockpit // Nr. 10 in the cockpit image from Bengrim09)

@Bengrim09
Are there images of the displays 1, 7 and 10 of the console below. Just curious

Looking very good those pieces Izzy:cool They'll be a great addition to those Nav chairs!

....so we can start all over again!

We now have the plans for the base YT-1300 light freighter, both left and righthand drive - so the next build will be swift.

I've uploaded the plans to this R2 unit but its rusty intels may be vulnerable so they could be in the hands of just about anyone! The droid's holoprojector is experiencing some FPS drop though.

The Lego "Solo" falcon...

joberg · Jan 7, 2018

"She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself."

While the mods noted in movies/books do not specifically mention the shape of the ship, I think we can assume he did that as well for good reasons or the ship had already been modified to that shape and he changed it back to the standard shape. I hope they will show us some of that in the movie!

Loosebruce704 · Jan 9, 2018

my feeling is that the ship will have its front end blown off in the film and how we know it is how it's rebuilt probably using parts from another yt light freighter

Not a fan of the solid front. I can’t imagine he tinkered with the shape to make it that way, then took it back. That looks more like the “we have to come up with a new toy to sell” mentality.

George had the Falcon in RotS as built by ILM in 76/77 (slightly different paint scheme). I’m really hoping these are just fan builds and art

No, not a fan build. There was quite a bit more Lego that leaked for the other stuff and characters in the movie. I always thought the mandibles were the way they were in order to hook onto cargo and move it around. Not sure what the point of the solid front is, or why they deviated from the Ep. 3 falcon, but time will tell. I thought they could have gone a much cooler way on the design myself, but it is what it is... I'm also wondering if there will be several similar freighters, each with their own design differences... Would be cool, but not holding my breath.

Sofaking01,

Here is the Millennium Falcon Center Console Greeblie from Episode VII and VIII.

Hopefully this will work for you. or as you said could be a great night light

So I am also not a fan of the new falcon without the space between the front end. From alot of the diagrams, it does seem like that is a way to slide cargo loads between it and push it along. That being said, I have this thought that maybe the filling in of the center piece could be just a cover for the cargo space. Possibly something that Solo could have either ditched rather than fixing if it broke, or taken off in order to reduce weight. (I know, not much weight going on in space, but Im just throwing an idea out here, and I dont work for NASA,

).
It is also possible (like said above) that they came in different configurations, but that wouldnt explain why HIS particular one came in a different configuration than we see it later unless he just modified it for some reason. I think it was probably done to sell toys or make a fresh look, but this is star wars, and you cant do something like that to something like the Falcon without explaining it.

Also, and it should go without saying, but I am amazed every time I see new photos and information on this build and have been following it for a few years now.

Hi Gang,

The bitter cold has prevented a lot of forward progress but the weather broke and temps are back in the 50s! Here are a few updates...

Daniel and I have been working on the window and we finally got around to creating a easier way to set the window in place before mounting

See these pencil lines? I wonder what these are?

I really wanted to use these greeblies... Found a place for them!

Eh...

Got the hoses back in place

Drilled holes for easy bolt access

Painted the corridor floor black

Painted the sides white

This gives an idea of the corridor floor lighting

Drilled some holes in the back of this greeblie

Adding some life to this greeblie

Mounted - back side shows wiring

Taped off this greeblie

Its a simple addition but I love it

I laser cut this greeblie for a new silver box

One of two layers

Housing

I then continued work on the TRM greeblie but I'll be handing this off to another for a future project

The 3D printer decided to quit on us so I improvised with some MDF

New lid

I decided to remove this bump in the nav chair

Finished up adhering the rubber molding

Going through photos I realized the trim around the chair pads are actually black! So I used my office chair as a test mule

Taped off the rubber molding and painted the back support

Oh yeah!

What a difference! And for the better! The contrast between the black and the silver was nice but this is screen accurate

Jumped in and finished the other two chairs

That's where we are! More to Follow!

Dericrw · Jan 10, 2018

WOW! This is amazing.... WOW!

SimplyTim · Jan 10, 2018

Those chairs came out amazing! Forgive me if this has been covered but did you build or buy your laser machine? I'm loving the stuff you've done with that thing! That little panel in this last post is insane!

I was just 30 seconds ago thinking..."I sure miss the weekend update"...and then it pops up. Thanks Sofa!!! Agree the Nav chairs look great!

Lt Washburn · Jan 10, 2018

Why did you remove those bumps from the seats?

OlivierC · Jan 10, 2018

Are going to to use some sort of limolium for the floor? Because the painted wood kinda breaks the illusion.

Fuzzual · Jan 10, 2018

Just fell out of my chair and knocked myself out, but I am up and back at the keyboard. No need to panic, just another session of looking at SofaKing's full scale falcon . . . its a regular thing!
