Product Description
The Doublefire set of models for the De Ago Falcon hold interior is pretty fantastic, but is missing a couple of things. One of those omissions is an interior for the smooch booth; aka the maintenance bay or circuit bay in which Leia and Han have their first private moment. All while inside the gut of a giant space slug. Romantic!
There is another De Ago sized model of the bay out there, but it's a bit lacking in details, and also isn't designed to fit the Doublefire set. Hence my making this hyperdetailed thing! I've included as many fine greebly details as possible while maintaining printability. A photo in the Japanese "Chronicles" book was essential to get the details and positions right. 4K screenshots from the film, behind the scenes photos, and screengrabs from outtakes were used to research details, especially of the mystery contraptions that Leia works on.
Note that the outer parts of the hold, such as the door and storage cases, etc, are NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SET! They are shown in the photos above to demonstrate how the room will look once it is installed. Photos of the finished pieces courtesy AnneMarie Timmers. To see what's included in this set, please view the preview images.
The details:
The entire booth interior is never shown in the film. Even behind the scenes photos don't reveal the left side. I suspect that it wasn't built out as a complete set at all, and many of the side areas are just bits of random junk positioned in front of the camera. For example, the wall to the right, seen when C-3PO barges in, appears to be the same movable wall seen at the back of the hold set itself - it has the same oval-shaped wall detailing. We then see Leia hastily beating a retreat camera right, suggesting that there's supposed to be a corridor or door or whatever on the left front side, but it's never shown. It was probably a matter of Carrie Fisher walking off to the back of the plywood walls.
In the film, the floor and the lower sections of the walls were unfortunately quite plain and featureless. This is a shame from a model-maker's point of view since it's a highly visible part of the model when you look at it from the top of the Falcon. Oh well. Maybe I should make another version with a bunch of busy floor and wall details for non purists.
To sum up, the angled walls in this product are pretty accurate to the actual sets, but the L-shaped wall section is mostly conjecture. I've cribbed details from other parts of the circuit bay and hold sets. Fortunately you can't really see much of the left side when you peer through the doorway anyway - it's barely visible.
Lighting:
There are a few holes for you to add 0.5mm wires to represent some of the hoses seen on the wall, and there are also other holes for 0.25mm fibre optics for lighting. With careful work you could sequence the tiny red lights to match the flashing patterns seen in the actual movie set, though again it's hard to see these from outside the bay.
Unfortunately many of the originally lit details, such as the rows of ventilated boxes along the top of the set, are not visible when this piece is installed inside the De Ago hold, so I didn't make all those pieces lightable.
That said, I've included a model of a Mole-Richardson Midget 200 watt spotlight. This is what seems to have been used on the actual set to illuminate details. It was located near the ceiling, angled downwards, and was alongside one of the tall vertical pipe details. If you want to use this component as an actual light it's been designed to accommodate an 0402 prewired SMD LED. But it'd be for total silliness because you wouldn't be able to see the spotlight at all from outside the booth!
Three versions:
Resin print prices are really expensive, so I've made three variants of this thing.
Version A: Walls, ceiling, and floor. This set includes the two wall components, a floor, and a grille ceiling. The ceiling has a bunch of narrow slots so that, when lit from above, it will resemble the lighting in the film. The movie set used standard Star Wars shipping pallets - the same ones as the Falcon hold floor, the ceiling of the Death Star torture cell, the floor of the Star Destroyers, etc - for the ceiling of this room.
Version B: Walls and floor. No ceiling. Just the walls and the floor component that can be glued together. You can't see the ceiling anyway, and you could use simpler forms of lighting that would work just as well. Honestly the ceiling is a nicety but isn't necessary.
Version C: ONLY the two wall components. You'll have to cut a floor piece of out of styrene sheet to make this thing installable. I'll post a PDF template on my website to simplify cutting out the floor component.
You're looking at this one: version C.
Notes:
- This reduced-cost set includes walls ONLY. There are NO floor or ceiling pieces.
- Also to save money the parts are sprued together and need to be carefully cut apart.
- Paint BEFORE glueing the bits together - it's much easier!
- This thing is designed to fit ONLY the Doublefire interior hold. It could probably be modified to fit the stock De Ago hold parts, but that is an exercise left to the reader. (ie: it will take considerable skilful work to get it to work, and is not recommended for beginners)
