Please bear with me while I get everything situated. Thanks.
Help me fund the project by getting one of these sweet t-shirts.
The front has Han’s line: “Hear me baby? Hold together…”
The back has the project logo as seen above on the web site.
Shirts are black, 100% cotton.
They are $25 including shipping anywhere in the USA.
I have M, L, XL, and 2XL sizes available in limited quantities.

I will be appearing at the Geek Media Expo (GMX) in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday and Sunday October 3-4, giving a presentation and answering questions about the Full Scale Falcon Project.
You can register for GMX online.
Come to the convention, check out my presentation, and don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and say hello! (Maybe pick up a sweet t-shirt, too!)
Since I haven,t posted for a few months, and in light of the buzz at MTAC 2009, I thought I’d post an update.
The project is still on. However, I have had to slow down on the work since I was funding it through income generated by real estate flips. As you all know the flipping market has all but disappeared, and so has the income stream for the project.
Currently we are concentrating on getting the shipping container workshop up, and then we will reassess the possible funding sources for the Falcon. I am confident that we can at least get the Falcon’s footers, foundation and landing gear up this year.
We’ll have a ground-breaking ceremony, and maybe an event out on the site. Following that, we’ll organize regular “build parties” where anyone can come out and help. I’ll make sure to keep posting updates more regularly now.
Lord Poe from StarDestroyer.net BBS did an article on the Falcon’s demise at Elstree Studios on his webpage. There’s a few pictures there (Taken by Pete Briggs) than the starwars.com article.

It’s fun to watch Google Analytics and see all the different places that are talking about the project.
