You and I have a very similar intent with the model. All of the parts I do are made with the intent of a realistic rendition of the ship. Your experience and resources far outweigh mine, so I'm looking forward to seeing what thing you implement that I can attempt. I think I'm one delivery...

I agree about that plate as a backdrop. That would look fantastic with the model. Thanks for updating your screw category sheet. I use my print out of that pretty often while building. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the gun turrets. That's a lot of extra motion to retro-fit...

I love seeing your approach to the interior. I've been looking at the hold and corridors the same way. I figured I would end up needing to scratch build new corridors to get a closer approximation of the movie sets. I'm using the kit hold though, so I may have issues when it comes time to put...

I saw that about the turret. The ventral circle rotates around when Fin is down there. You can see it pretty clearly when Rey flips the Falcon upside down to take out the last TIE. I interpret that as the hallway to get to the gunner platforms just get out of alignment, and it needs to face...

Where did you find those magazine binders? :thumbsup I can seriously use those for my build. It looks like I'm one shipment behind you, so your posts give me a fun preview of what's on the way.

That's such terrible news. My condolences to his family and the friends he left behind.

It's humbling to get such a reaction from this crew. Thank you very much. I'm also very open to suggestions on improving this kit or future kits based on this one. I love the range of experience and creativity on here.

Thanks guys! I'm using these small builds to get some skills up worthy of the Millennium Falcon. I find that I really enjoy the engineering aspects of these kinds of builds. While I don't plan to light all my builds, I think I'll likely add something like this to most of them. I'm thinking of...

I've made some good progress on the kit. Here is the bottom plate connected up to the main board so the LED has power. Then it was on to painting up the outside of the model. I went with a plain gray base, and I used a darker gray on some details here and there. Wherever it appealed to me to...

Thanks guys. I'm having a lot of fun with this. Now that the hard part is complete, I hope to get the rest finished up over the next week or so depending on time available. Then I have to figure out how to do a snow effect for the base. Anyone have a link to a good tutorial on such a thing?

While parts continue to come inf for my Falcon, I have a stash of other kits to get my skills improved with. One of them is the 1/48 Baidai AT-St, which is very close to scale with the Falcon. I also have the 1/48 Snowspeeder, TIE and X-Wing for later. Last night I finished the painting of the...

Large Custom Millennium Falcon I'm excited to see what your mod of the main hull looks like. I got a copy of the book Sculpting a Galaxy: Inside the Star Wars Model Shop It has a ton of terrific photos of details. Another resource is always handy. :captain

Large Custom Millennium Falcon This same box is on its way to me. I'm excited to finally have the complete bottom frame, as I've just been collecting the parts thus far. I was looking at the flaps too. I was thinking of having them all move together, with the actuators up top just being...

I do have a duct for it to go out the window, I just don't have it in the pics. I'll have to look at the aspect of isolating the fan. I do use Vallejo acrylics, so flammability isn't an issue thus far.

Hey guys. Meesa back! :yipee I have not been idol, though not much until recently as far as actual progress. I recently completed building my spraybooth, and it works great. What I did was I got one of the cheap folding ones online, then took out the big PC cooling fan it has in the back...
