Life-Size Millennium Falcon - Ship of Riddles - VRML Star Wars YT-1300 - 1

[Draknfyre]

For the first trilogy, they built a life-sized Millennium Falcon for the filming, It was made out of wood, and steel, and could be taken apart and rebuilt in sections. It had no interior, but it did have the working landing ramp, and space for people to walk out of it. It was used in the scenes where it was landed.

The video quality is horrible and there is no interior.

@PlantOParadise ...Wait! Wait! I'm so relieved that you caught that... I didn't even notice... DARN!

[blackburn55]

cool stuff. Are you using the new updated size for the thing?

[simhopp]

what is the updated size of Millennium falcon, if I may ask?

[brookestephen]

I have approx 70 parameters that define the shape of my Falcon... (all in meters)

diameter 27m

core height 6.9m (think apple core)

fence height 1m (around the middle)

bore diameter 5.79m (core hole)

shell sphere radius is derived from the numbers above...

need more numbers?

@brookestephen

over all length? including the mandible, etc.

ground clearance, ie ground to core bottom surface, ignoring the gun and gun mount.

[brookestephen]

bow to stern is 34.8m

Ground clearance is determined by several parameters, including the curve of the hull, but I've chosen 2m headroom for each egress ramp (port and stbd) at the end of the ramp... just so you don't hit your head...

Great Job! It looks very real!

[brookestephen]

Thanks - I'm just tryin to get the shape right before I add to it.
