Most of the dimensions given in the Chronicles book are off.
Yeah but the 32" Falcon is 32" and the 3' Star Destroyer is about that as well. Otherwise the MR Falcon is way, way off.
ILM called the 32" the 2 footer and the 5' the 4 footer due to that being roughly the size of the main saucer section minus the mandibles but I am pretty sure the sizes of these models is well established.
Can't say I have ever heard of a 4' Star Destroyer or a 4' Falcon filming model.
Would be totally cool though.

There's no 3' Star Destroyer, the ANH SD is 4ft it has been proved several times on this board over the years.
Don't believe what you read in the books, kitparts don't lie !
The large ESB falcon is "roughly" 32" long, and the main hull was constructed from 2, 2 foot (24") wide disks and detailed up. so its "roughly" 24" wide.
The ANH SD. I'm not 100% on the length of that. I saw it in person when it was in Philly and just eyeballing it I'd go somewhere between 3 and 4 feet... But I have not done the math or put a ruler against it. I WISH I had brought a tape measure with me when I photographed all the models - but I guess I'm not that smart... Live and Learn. and BTW that sucker is white... don't let anyone tell you different The larger one for ESB is noticeably darker in person than the ANH But its still a really light gray... "almost" the same color as the Millenium Falcon.
Just info

To add to that, the ESB ISD base coat is also pure white, and I can even give you the brand they used : Zynolyte, it was painted with spraycans, then aged with different shade of grays with an airbrush. It's still very white on several places. I got these informations from Ease Owyeung who painted the original some years ago but I think it's not time to share these infos with everyone else. Sharing is caring.

If that is the case that is very cool. I have always seen and read 3 '.

Calling all 3D designers! I just saw the completed gun platform for the upper turret. I know this part isn't easily seen, but it definitely looks very cheap and can use some upgrades.

I got this part in issue 41 today. There is an LED supplied that fits into the roof. You can see it in the picture above the chair. The light is very bright.

As Deagostini have knowledge of where the turret fits in the whole, finished assembly, care should be taken if your making replacement parts to esnure that they will fit in the finished build. Has there been enough of the model released to base replacement sections like this turret into the whole?
