I wanted to show some images of my YT-300 (yes… 300) ship I’ve been working for the past few months. I am getting close to finishing up and thought you all might enjoy seeing some updates!

The YT-300 is in 1/6 scale. It’s been a lot of fun to work on but I am DEF ready to get back to the full scale projects. The detail work you see is a combination of 1/35 scale tanks parts and laser cut styrene and acrylic greeblies and “armor plating”. ALL the laser cut parts have been designed by me. So… lots of time spent at the computer. : )

My initial idea for the ship was this…

The YT-300 was originally commissioned, by the Corellian Eng Corp, to clear debris (usually small to medium asteroids, meteoric debris and the occasional ship wreckage) from out lying shipping lanes within the republic...

1/6 & 1/4 Kits

From The

MILLENNIUM FALCON

Greg Dietrich here again! Just wanted to say hello, see how things were going and to let you know that me and the team of lunatics are almost ready to unveil the first of several 1/6th and 1/4 scale kits of our favorite smuggler ship!

As I may have mentioned, these kits spawned from the full scale cockpit project I have been working on for the past 7 years. I “thought” it would be fun to scale down everything and see if we could turn all that we did into kit form. So far, we’ve been very successful. It’s been stressful but its been a LOT of fun and we can’t wait to make the kit available and see what people do with their own talents and imagination. We are just a few molds away from the big day!

Attached is t...

Millennium Falcon

(28 Inch Diameter!!) at 1/4  &  1/6 Cockpit Kits

I am making a 1/4 and 1/6 scale version of the cockpit console and cockpit. The project includes an assortment of material to include MDF, acrylic and resin 3D printed parts. The cockpit is an impressive 28 inches in diameter! I’m in the final stages and will begin offering a kit for both the 1/4 and 1/6 scales! Here are a few images of the progress made on the 1/4 scale console, cockpit and nav computer!

Remember… all these images are of the 1/4 scale – not the full scale. The images sometimes fool even me.

Enjoy

The Full Scale Falcon Project is still moving forward and we’re slowly approaching our 5th year! There have been a LOT of changes and updates to the cockpit since our last update/posting. With the addition of the cockpit entrance (large black wall), I spent and an incredible amount of time and effort recreating all the different greeblies attached to the entrance wall. We’ve built a small portion of the corridor with a “half wall” and exposed panels showing pipes and wiring. I’m strongly considering making a complete corridor ring giving the full effect of being in the corridor.

Also, the new nose cone is almost finished to include the very first interior/exterior combined cockpit panels that will eventually include the new canopy (window)...

These artists are working hard to recreate this beast. Great work to all of them!!

This is the second full sized Falcon Cockpit Greg and his guys have built… this time for the full sized Falcon herself!

Happy New Year! Long time no update…

Just thought I would send a few photos of the updated Full Scale Falcon Project. In short, the team was invited to display the project at the Huntsville Space & Rocket Center during the premiere of EP VII. With only 4 weeks until the premiere, long and sleepless nights were spent getting the cockpit wired up with the 1200+ LEDs and sounds. At one point there were 20+ people working on the cockpit panels to get her ready for the big reveal! We were even able to get the cockpit entrance finished up and painted.

Although having to scratch several tasks from the list, the canopy and the exterior skin, what the team was able to pull tog...

These guys are unstoppable in their efforts to produce a full sized Millennium Falcon! Starting fresh with a new cockpit from ESB…. they are on their way to accomplishing something amazing! I applaud them!

Its been a long time since our last Full Scale Falcon Project update and I thought I would toss a few images your way to show you where we are.

After our last big show, the team sat down and, after seeing how well the backlit tiles looked, decided to go ahead and make a screen accurate reproduction or the ESB cockpit. Most of us were not happy with a hybrid ANH/ESB cockpit. We also felt it was time to replace the aging center console with a CNC version. So we opened the books, scanned the internet and started looking for as many reference pics as we could find...

This is completely impressive!

Long time since our last Full Scale Falcon Project (Cockpit) update! The team had been working long nights in prep for the Geek Media Expo in Tennessee just a few weeks back. The team really pulled together and achieved the impossible! The cockpit under went a massive makeover! With over 400+ new holes cut, each panel repainted and pinstriped, new blue, white and yellow tiles added and numerous hand fabricated and/or molded greeblies… the results are nothing short of amazing! We’re all thrilled with how everything has turned out!

Our next big show is Star Wars Celebration this April 2015! We’re hoping to have a complete finished cockpit – outer skin and back wall included! It’s a HUGE task but I think the team is up for it!

Enjoy these latest updates!

What can I say about this?! I am thrilled with the work these fine artists have done. I hope to have one of these to show here someday. Absolutely fantastic!

Another quick follow up!

TEDxNashville was a COMPLETE success! We were the hit of the show and Chris Lee’s speech resulted in a standing ovation. We couldn’t more thrilled!

Without getting too wordy please enjoy the latest pics of the MF Console Stand Alone Console – Gen 1.5

The team building the full scale Falcon is doing absolutely amazing work, making a dream come true! Fantastic! And btw… as Greg informed me, this project has the FULL go ahead approval from both Lucas and Disney! It is ON!!

Finally… another update to the Full Scale Falcon build!

As many of you know several of us are attempting to build the most screen accurate full scale replica of the iconic Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars trilogy.  Well… we’ve come a long way since those first couple of panels were cut almost 2 years ago…

The center console was all but finished when we decided to give her a makeover by adding sounds and lights.  It was also decided that the newly designed console would become a stand alone prop – console and two seats (pilot / co-pilot)...
