Bandai 1/144 Millennium Falcon Lando version
- Thread starter korben44

Argh. Just spent all evening detailing the area around the ramp doorway, thinking I don't have any references to it, so I might as well make it look like the ANH doorway. And then I realised I do, and that the Lando ship has just cushions and a control panel there. Dammit dammit!
Maybe I'll reuse the data for my PG Falcon, even though it's utterly impossible to see it once it's installed. Just so I know it's there.
PS: I know the wall cushions should be rounder on the flat surface, but you know, you can't really tell at 1:144 anyway...

Looks great, man! Can't wait to get my hands on your upgrade parts!

How possible is it to do, with the Lando Falcon you have modelled before, a down the middle (or just off the middle) lengthwise cross-section, for the 1:144 Bandai? I'm thinking it would be fun to replicate the Attakus Falcon Diorama, but with the Lando Falcon. Not sure what environment would work for it, though. Nothing in the film is that scintillating to replicate, unfortunately! (Maybe Cloud City...we know Lando has the model of that on the Falcon, so maybe it's something he visited and thought "one day, I want to own this...!")
Yargh! That'd be awesome, but by god would that be a ton of work! Not only would you have to model a whole boatload of internal components, but you'd also have to make them up, since there isn't any canon source for what the internals of the Falcon really look like, other than the cockpit, corridors, and hold. So it'd be a fascinating project, but would take months...

I've been on my Docking Bay 327 for about 6 months now.
The problem with that, would be...?

Sigh. Okay. This project is on hold. I was 95% done, as the screenshots show, and then I went travelling for 3 weeks. When I got back I was going to do the final sizing of the corridors to the actual kit that finally arrived from seller #2.
And then it all broke. I used an online web-based CAD service, and they made some silent back-end change to their rendering engine that broke my model. A specific object type won't load, and now the entire thing refuses to load correctly.
Unless they fix that, I'll have to rebuild the entire damn project from scratch...

Here's some reference pics from the Solo Blu-Ray BTS disc of the Falcon post Kessel run:
Hope this helps anyone who is doing a conversion.

B.E.A.-utiful.
If i had the time i would definitely do this version. It would have to be added to the model bucket list till then. [emoji1363][emoji1363]

Whoa Nelly! This would be a challenge -- but what a great one! I'm working on the Bandai Lando Falcon right now, and I'm constantly thinking about how it would deconstruct and strip down to become the ANH version. If I didn't have four models on the bench already and making plans for the 1/350 K'tinga, I'd seriously consider doing this.

Looking good. I'm jealous of your Solo tin popcorn bucket. Sweet.
