Can you guess what my new project is?

A life-sized Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.

This is a first look at my progress.

I'm using VBA to create the VRML for the ship based on the parameters I set - i.e. the whole ship can be rebuilt if I want to change the height of the ship.

Hopefully this ship will be the definitive, and once thought impossible, marriage of the film set and the film and hobby kit models.

Wish me Luke!
I mean Luck!
LOL

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • @brookestephen

    over all length? including the mandible, etc.

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

  • 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?

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

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

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

  • Great Job! It looks very real!
