The Duke's Spaceport Launches the Falcon!

[Duke Maddog]

After a good long time, my spaceport has finally launched another Sci-Fi starship. Another? you ask. Yes, I also completed a Star Wars Y-wing, an Imperial Star Destroyer, an Eagle I transporter from Space 1999, and the Babylon 5 space station.

This is my latest ship to be launched from here, the Finemolds 1/72 scale Han Solo's Millennium Falcon:

I didn't want to over grunge it so much, but I did want to show it as used and a bit of abused. Kinda "rode hard and put away wet" type of thing. I don't know how well I succeeded but I'm happy with this result so far. The crew seems to be happy enough to board, with a bit of persuasion from the Empire:

It's hard to see them, but Chewie and C-3PO are inside waiting for everyone to board:

Okay, it's off to the stars for me for awhile. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Nice on Mark.

Thank you Bob!

Your Falcon turned out quite nice Mark!

Wow, you have come a looooooong way since your first posts and I found a box I never sent. Shame on me! I am glad you don't mind building multiples. This is a one-off and it shows you took your time!

One of your best, Mark!

Fantastic! The force was definitely flowing through you

 

[Duke Maddog]

Thank you Paul!

Thank you Saul! I did take my time on this and did my utmost to make it look as good as possible. I have a war game friend in Hollywood who wants to use this as the centerpiece in a game where Luke, Han and Leia try to reach the Falcon before the Imperials snatch them up.

Maybe we can head for the stars in that someday!

Also, feel free to send that box, I'd still love to build whatever is in there. Address is the same.

I do build multiples too, mostly when I can make them for different countries or variants.

Thank you John! I am looking forward to taking it to some shows and see how she fares.

Thank you Greg! It helps to channel my inner Star Wars geek. Stay tuned, I have a few other ships to build from that galaxy far, far away.....
