1:1 Millennium Falcon Cockpit Replica - Group Build

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Holy crap it looks AWESOME in the dark!!!!

Thank you, Sir! The lens flares were happy accidents...

I'll be working full force on Saturday. After looking at the 3D model more closely, I will be altering the cockpit panels to match the ESB version. I might have to recut several panels but it will be worth it when all is said and done.

Off to work!

Hi Gang!

I have MAJOR updates but photobucket is going through a "Beta" test with their interface and its ALL messed up. I'll post ASAP! Hang tight!
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Thanks guys! Photobucket is still down so I'll forward all my pics to Steve Starkiller. So if there's any lag in posting... its all his fault! :)
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Good luck with Photobucket, what a bummer.

On a slightly different note, I just finished re-watching Moonraker and was struck by how much the control surfaces on the space station look like a direct lift from Star Wars. Can't find any great screenshots, but this shows a little of it.

On some of the closer shots there's exactly the same type of pinstriping you're doing.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Thanks! I really don't know what's going on. But ALL the links on the main page don't work. Maybe they're getting back at me for giving them negative feedback? lol

If I remember... it was the same design team that did both movies and a few other projects. I love that look! Very clean and polished. But I also love the junked up look of the Falcon and XWing, YWing, etc...
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

A lot of SW stuff was recycled into Superman as well (I was just watching it on Saturday and laughed when I saw Luthor's Death Star control panel).
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Also, Moonraker was trying to capitalize on Star Wars' success so it stands to reason that they would mimic certain aesthetics.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica
