Rebelscum recently did a couple of articles on the grand reopening of Steve Sansweet’s Rancho Obi Wan. There were a few bits that caught my eye, but this mock up of the skeletal frame for the full size Falcon used for filming blew me away.
You can see it’s a fair sized model as that SpecPlate on the wall is three feet across.
Check out the full photos on Rebelscum here and here. I’d thoroughly recommend taking a look.
28/11/12: Mike recently took a trip to Rancho Obi-Wan and took some photos of this model. He was able to confirm that it is a mock up for the full size Falcon as used in the ice Hanger of Hoth. He took a few nice photos and i have taken the liberty of posting them here.
Again, thanks to Mike for the photos.

He has some great Sigma pieces I am totally jonsing.
Oh yes, yes indeed! When I saw photos of this, I stopped and stared. What an amazing and literally unique item!
I am hoping for a chance to road-trip down there next year. I will certainly be taking many up-close pics of this!!!!
Yeah, i have to confess that i really like this. As you say, it’s unique and in its own way, quite stunning.
I envy you the road trip. Take plenty of pictures, i’ll be looking out for them. 🙂
Thinking about it, i wonder if the guys on the RPF would make a commission build of this? (Dammit Rod, you have no money. Stop doing this to yorself. 🙂 )
There will be TONS of pics, I am sure!
I am certain someone would make you one on commission, but oh, the cost! 🙂
🙂 I know. Still, i can fantasize.
I found some video of Rancho Obi Wan and there are plenty of links via this video to more videos. http://youtu.be/oXsZmttA6pI
