Hi all,
there was another thread for this topic here but no posts there for a while. So I thought I start mine here
I was asked by a good "star Wars" friend of mine to help out in a Fan Project (its secret right now maybe I can talk about it later). He asked me for a digital copy of the 5ft falcon. I said OK and stoped my other projects and started this baby ...
Thats what I have so far ...
... hope you like it

One thing bugs me though.... YT 1300 Frighter? is that freighter or fighter... maybe im going insane.
will change it with next images, I promise
Thank you all for commenting, I really appreciate it.
Chris
Is that you in the profile pic, as you remind me of someone and it is driving me insane as to who
yep, thats me in the Avatar
and yes ... this will be textured!
I hope I will have more this weekend
Chris
Bye
Your Falcon is going great! The level of detail you are striving for is pretty amazing. Look forward to seeing more on this project.
And, yup, that was my Falcon in the other thread. I had found this site Forbidden Plastic which had a lot of great closeup photos of the 5ft studio model. Made me realize how much my detail was off. Then I got sidetracked on the Jupiter 2. Hope to return to the Falcon at some point.

BTW, your avatar picture reminds me of Burton Cummings from The Guess Who.
here is some progress ... the Falcon can shot now!

More updates coming ...

Awesome work as always Chris ! will you be doing some simple interiors for it by any chance ? Even a seat or two for the cockpit and gunner's station would work fine.
Yes, I will do a kind of "simple" Cockpit but I'm not sure about the Gunner-Station. We will see
Chris
This will be fun watching the baby grow
here is a bit more: I have started with the Escape Pods ...
These are very tricky ... more soon I hope
Chris
I have finished the Escape Pod so far. Some minor details are missing but they are different to both sides
More soon

The deatis are there so I have to put them in!
Thank you!
I'm done with the right Pod / Hatch or whatever it is
More updates soon
Chris
Incidentally, do you already have the reference photos I took of the 5 foot model? EDIT: Here they are as hosted on 3DSciFi. Some of the links to the other pages appear to be broken, but the page for the Falcon looks like it's working fine.
Thank you
Yes I have the images you have posted over at 3dscifi ... they are one of the best ref images all over the net. To bad that most of the other links are dead now but if you need someone to post the other maybe I can help you
I'm just working on the detail of that tight "tunnel". Maybe I have something to show very soon.
Chris
PS: how is your Stardestroyer coming along ... I hope you are still working in it. It was such an amazing model.
But for the record, no, I haven't worked for four years on one model.
Good to back in the neighborhood, so to speak.
