Star Wars Model Reference SantaAna 2012 

I remember years ago when the exhibit came to Chicago, you literally had guys crawling all over the display case taking reference photos to use in building their models of the Falcon.

When I was a kid I had to buy magazines, books, and bootleg pictures for reference when building models, people have it made now'n days!!

I never realized that there where so many little decals all over the Millennium Falcon. I'm doing the Fine Molds 1/72 scale right now and have decals left over from other Bandai star wars kits that I will probably use on it now after seeing this.

thanks for all amazing shots.

I must thank you profusely for uploading the first video. I had no idea this wondrous place was in CA. I was able to convince my parents into taking a trip down there. Time will pass the slowest it ever has for me from now to Saturday. Thank you! Wish they lit them up, but I understand why they didn't. I almost feel sorry for the kids, some of them probably had no idea what they were seeing.

I watched the video for the album "OST John Williams - Star Wars The Force Awakens (2015, 24-96)," Star Wars music. It is something!!! Class! Simply stunning experience! Music to the place of your best! Thank you for the video!

Fantastic modeling skills they had.

Belle référence pour nos maquettes! merci.

I went to this exhibit. I thought I was the only one obsessed enough to spend 30 minutes at the Millennium Falcon display. lol

Thanks for posting this, its a shame they couldn't provide better lighting.

falcon has a lot of train and engine parts on it..

KOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Genial

Whats with the LEDs in the cockpit... omg WHY!

I saw these pieces in Huntsvillle Ala. I hope the lighting is better in Santa Ana. I was really upset. Very, very low light and no flash photography allowed.

@CrazyPainter1000 The TIE that crashed into Vader sold for a quarter million a few years ago at auction.

That's what they said, but the attendants had little high power led flashlights that they could use to light it up for you if you really wanted to see part of them good. Didnt make much sense.

@TableTopPainting101 Santa Ana, California. I think there's only one or two more exhibits and that's the end of it. search star wars exhibit and you'll track it down.

were they worried about the light damaging the models?

where is this at can i have the link for the show i would love to see this for my self

UV is certainly damaging, but I don't know why they would turn the house lights down other than to create 'a mood'. Every time you see a video of the lucasfilm garage where they are all stored, there are full lights on, so it can't be any 'scientific' rationale.

R2D2 talking incessantly thru the whole video!
