Ken, have you ever REALLY looked closely at the Falcon? The ship is covered in oil smears, laser burns, and DIRT! It ain't a shiny, new YT-1300. I think the dirt and discoloration adds to Ben's version, especially since the Falcon isn't white to (...) (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Hi Ben, Your Millennium Falcon was one of my earliest inspirations. You have done some phenominal work, especially in how many different funtions you have packed into it. Do you plan on improving the model in the near future or do you think that (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Pardon me... <anal mode on> Those six circles are actually engine vents of some sort. The whole escape pod issue (i.e. whether there is one or not, and if so, where is it) is a whole other shebang. </anal> (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Who says they are engine vents? I wouldn't trust Lucasfilm. Check out my site Geocities.com/SWFalcon30 for more of my opinions on this issue. You'll see that I have contructed an alternative interior network for my Millennium Falcon which really (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Hi Gregory, The quote you used reffers to the docking rings on each side of the Millennium Falcon, not the six circular "vents." If you look closely, the circular protrusions are not covered in fan blade slits and look rather like solar panels (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)
