Side Project! Hasbro Millennium Falcon Upgrade
A long time ago, like a really really long time ago I got two awesome Christmas gifts. One was this poster of President Gerald R. Ford as Fonzie-
The other was a cherry Millennium Falcon (from my Uncle Roy). I have no idea where it went, but if my parents still have it, it’s coming home when I find it.
I bring this up, because a couple of friends and I are doing a Hasbro Millennium Falcon Upgrade. They are very kind and generous friends who have donated one to my collection, so it’s only fit it gets upgraded instead of stored. We’re all collaborating over the next year and converting them to a studio scale model versions.
In other words we’re gonna take:
And turn it into this:
Don’t worry. Others have done all of the heavy lifting. There are models and kits that let you upgrade this toy with hi res 3D prints, and greeblies into a very screen accurate model and what scratch building there is will go into a build log. We’re going to share whatever we can with the community and have a lot of fun.
One of the first things you have to do is replace panels that Hasbro didn’t accurately make. We made some vector files so that we can laser cut replacement panels out of thin styrene plastic.
Check back soon for updates.
