Reproduce the invisible places! Bandai's "Millennium Falcon" is awesome

 I would like to see the picture below.



"Oh no, it is not a spaceship that comes out in Star Wars, maybe it was supposed to be?" It is a fictitious spaceship "Millennium Falcon" that appears in the SF movie "Star Wars" series in the United States, but the picture is a thing which reproduced the model which was actually used for shooting in the plastic model.


Although it was released at the end of August at EC site premium Bandai, the price is sold mainly for movie fans despite placing 42,200 yen (tax included). Looking at the real thing, the seat and instruments etc in the cockpit are reproduced, the complicated structure in the central part of the model is faithfully expressed, and even the part which is not visible such as inside the laser cannon is made There.

Although it is a product that seems to be "scary" just by looking at it, it is written like this in the press release. "In order to reproduce the information and the details without any extent by thoroughly studying the" model for photographing 1.7 m "having the huge amount of information used in photographing" Star Wars / New Hope " We chose to commercialize on 1/72 scale (total length approx. 482 mm). As a result, we were able to thoroughly build even the details such as the nose side and the rear upper side of the fuselage, the impressive cockpit in the play and the inside of the laser cannon. "

Even though we can reproduce places that can not be confirmed with the naked eye, "thorough research" and "to make thoroughly" are. Although it does not criticize the person who made the release, as long as this product is seen, the expression "exhaustive" should be insufficient.




The ship originally had a more elongated appearance, but this design's similarity to the Eagle Transporters in Space: 1999 prompted Lucas to change the Falcon's design. The original model was modified, re-scaled, and used as Princess Leia's ship, Tantive IV. Modelmaker Joe Johnston had about four weeks to redesign the Falcon, and Lucas's only suggestion to Johnston was to "think of a flying saucer". Johnston did not want to produce a "basic flying saucer", so he created the offset cockpit, forward cargo mandibles, and rear slot for the engines. The design was simple enough to create in the four-week window. Johnston called production of the new Falcon design one of his most intense projects. The sound of the ship traveling through hyperspace comes from two tracks of the engine noise of a McDonnell Douglas DC-9, with one track slightly out of synchronization with the other to introduce a phasing effect. To this, sound designer Ben Burtt added the hum of the cooling fans on the motion-control rig at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).
