                        The Falcon is definitely one of my favorites. I appreciate it even more after getting this great 3d book for my son...it was designed to be a "owners manual" and broke down all of her systems level by level..even described the modifications Han made..really good stuff

                        The Falcon quickly went from one of the coolest, most realistic looking space crafts I'd ever seen (in 1977) to what was supposed to be a hunk of junk in less than an hour! It was still cool.

                        Thanks sprueone, unfortunately I do not have a WIP thread and only a few progress pictures on my phone. Ill be more than happy to share when I put them on my computer..the walls and floor are half inch plywood..the floor was painted gloss black then waxed with a industrial floor finish for shine..the dstarfield is painted as are much of the details...foam core and  some wooden dowels provided the 3d details on the walls....the deck lines were taped off and painted white..the lights are dollar store specials that are powered by AA batteries....just drilled holes and stuck up through the bottom. That's it in a nutshell...ill be glad to post some more pics and answer any other questions..thanks for looking!

                        Nice Yes 

                        Do you have a WIP thread or what and how did you make it? What are the floor and walls (details) made of? How did you wire and power the lights?
