When it's finished, I'll share the source.

I used The Essential Guide Te Vehicles And Vessels and *lots* of pictures
found on the net.  I don't really know what scale I'm using.  The same scale
I used for my previous model, but I don't think it's an easy-to-convert
scale ... :-(

Length is a problem with the Falcon.  Some say it's 28m, some say it's 35m
or anything in between...

Purely hand-coded.  Nothing is animatable right now.  There is no landing
gear and the radar-dish is temporary (but a bit animatable).

The laser-cannons are temporary too.  You can set the brightness of the
engines thrust.  The tophatch is not animatable.  Maybe in the future.  The
maindoor isn't even modelled yet.

The armor-plating is there, yes.

Yep.  I used an image-pattern for it.

Wow.  That's a good idea!  Looks like StarWars: The POV-Ray Collection is
going to live again!

All CSG.  No height_fields, no isosurfaces.  I don't know how it can be
parsed so fast.  I don't really care, actually :-)

Strange...  Maybe becaused I used a lot of loops and some macros (for the
armor plating)?
