'77 Elstree Falcon Underside Details

 a few pieces of damage away from completing the modeling. Let's see if this most recent burst of energy will carry me through a materials phase. Students of the 5-Foot filming model will no doubt recognize a lot of things, and also be puzzled by a lot of things. This full-scale prop is a rats nest of perfectly observed details and then wild deviations. Guess that's true really of all the Falcons. If you get a saucer, two forks, a nose, and a cockpit in roughly the right shape and then cover it with enough kitbash stuff it'll pretty much look like the Falcon. What a pieces of junk ..read more

The Foss Brothers

  The R1 on the left is fairly well known from the ANH scene where R2 and 3PO are sold by the Jawas, and it's also pretty established that the design was based on a book cover painted by Chris Foss. Much less well knows is that R1's brother on the right, who resides at Mos Eisley and is seen for all of a handful of frames in the background as our heroes arrive at that well known hive of scum and villainy.   These models are from all new photomatches of behind the scenes materials. I'm setting these up for a collaboration with the incomparable Jason Eaton ..read more

ANH Falcon Back Wall Misalignment
Stinson's All Things Star Wars Blog
by Stinson Lenz

So it's fairly well known that the back wall of the Falcon's cockpit is a little wonky in the first movie The story goes that on ANH (left) they built it to match the specs so that in pre-production it looked like its counterpart in ESB (right), and then at some point Lucas said he wanted the cockpit to feel more cramped and some last minute adjustments were made. I'm not entirely sure I buy the official story that Lucas wanted a smaller cockpit, if for no other reason than that it doesn't actually make the cockpit that much smaller. So is it just an error in assembly that got overlooked ..read more

Random holochess discovery

I was looking at the holochess table in the ESB main hold and it has some details that are different than the ANH version. ESB has these big white rectangular greebles, instead of the silver knobs on ANH. In fact they're still present on the table that's on display at disney studios ..read more

ESB Falcon Interior

Testing out Twinmotion on the ESB interior model I've been working on. Still figuring it out, lots of funky camera moves, and lighting issues, but as a quick experiment I'm pretty happy with this! I've been doing interior renders like this since at least 2012, and this process is about a thousand times quicker and more satisfying than those early version, heh. Still so much to learn, but slow and steady wins the race... right ..read more

Early Johnston Concept Falcon

Working on a Mando cockpit but in the meantime, this is a fun little ship I always loved when I’d flip through my worn copy of From Star Wars to Indiana Jones. It’s a Joe Johnston design, among many early Falcon sketches and I was somehow able to work my photomatch magic on it ..read more
