(...) A concern that I have, that I hope is unfounded and unrealized, is a Town Jr'ized or UFO'ed MF, as the back end of the Falcon is rounded. To further knock down the part count, much of the ship that contains only equipment would probably be (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I was wondering if the large UFO hull pieces could be used. Those things are 15x15, right? That'd give a 30-stud diameter, more if the hull pieces spaced out, leaving room for docking arms and engine exhaust ports and forward holds. This would (...)

(...) Steve, Thanks for the link to this site! The author has done an incredible job of detailing the Falcon... His plans and a couple of thousand bricks would make for the ultimate MF. BTW, has anyone considered using baseplates for the upper and (...) (26 years ago, 1-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) That sounds really cool, and maybe a little frightening. If you want to cut up parts, baseplates are probably the ones to start with. I've cut up a raised riverplate, after it got stepped and cracked. As far as LDrawing, that would be (...) (26 years ago, 3-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
