Good stuff, that is where I am I have issue 68.
So I am guessing that soon I will be billed for month 18, issues 69, 70, 71 and 72.
However Month 18 is currently not in stock.

So did you 3D print those parts? They look good if available I would like the ESB STL file so that I can print this out at some point. Funny when it rains it pours, I received my self assembly 3D printer from a Kickstarter that I pledged to last year. I already have one 3D printer and I also have another coming soon. So now I have my time divided with building the new printer and building the Falcon.

Sorry I don't have STLs for sale. But you can find them if you want the printed parts.

Well in my effort to make my build more complete, I discovered something that I never noticed before... that there were only 4 support frames in ANH instead of the assumed 5 that you see in ESB and TFA. So... of course I had to update my front wall inserts. I also took the tubes out so they are easier to paint and went ahead and made a complete front wall replacement (with a hole in it for fiber optics or wires). Here's the results:

Here's my ANH version (hardly any greeblies on the frames except these two dryer tubes attached to a board hanging off the first one):


And this is my ESB+ version with 5 frames (I added a few greeblies and wires onto the frames themselves):


Now along the way I noticed that the whole Starboard wall really needed an update too, so again I replicated the wall and proceeded to fix all the problems (including adding the wall pit, fixing the really tube, and the tube details on the wall. I ended up making two versions of it... a stock version and an extended version that is much more accurate.

Here's my Stock version:


And here's my extended version (notice the end of the wall needs to be extended and bend about 9mm). In any event here's what I came up with.


I hope these are acceptable and hope everyone likes them. I've also just finished a replacement for the gunner turret hallway. It simulates the way the ladder tube looks in the movies as close as I possibly could get. The tube dosn't actually connect to the gun turret rooms, but it also doesn't disturb them either. Here's what I came up with:

Yes it does look AWESOME! . Very nice work, it beginning to look like the film studio.
Great work, I look forward to seeing it when finished with lighting etc.

Yes it looks very "AWESOME"

Looks good to me

I think the main goal I had in mind was to be able to look down the cockpit corridor and see that ladder and tube like you would the actual set. Sure it may not connect the actual gunner rooms like it's suppose to, but that's where the sets differ from the actual model. However, with this small modification, it definitely makes it look alot more accurate to the movie set! But, then I got to thinking. Now that we know that the whole turret rotates, who's to say that the turrets don't rotate to connect to the tube in THIS position before the gunners enter the alcove? Then that would make sense and this would connect the turrets to the tube and it would be in this position all the time. Then that would mean that Lucas when filming only messed up the part where the ladder tube was missing from the background and you could see bits moving back and forth past the opening as the room spun to fire the cannons. Hmmmmmmmmm... quite a poser! :)

Thanks for the info, I think it would look great looking down the cockpit corridor as you said, especially when it is lit, thinking about buying one myself now, When you have finished that part of the corridor, could you post some pictures of it lit up.
Thanks Mark

what type of 3D printer are you using?
Your prints look really good.
