Build you own Falcon subscription

Thanks, got issue's 13-16 the other day.



Yes, a battery pack with cables comes with issue 9.

So the lit up panels in the cockpit are stock? Or did you add lighting?

There are 4 or 5 LED lights on the back of the cockpit interior, you just connect up the battery pack & you're ready to go.

Wow that's great that they include that. Thanks.

Well done Flosi

Nice! All the custom paint that's been posted have been very good.

So I was checking out the DeAgostini forum... and it seems they have created a new/more accurate nose cone (the outter two pieces of the cockpit) and will be including it with a future Falcon pack at no additional cost.

Evidently there are some inaccuracies with the nosecone and the new one should address them.

wait, did this finally hit the US?

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, I believe month 3 is shipping now.

You can order from Modelspace.

Oh, damn. Thanks. I hope it's not too late to start...

 

[Thorne]

No such thing as "too late to start"...

Your finishing time will just be a little later than some of us.

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, it's an open subscription... and if you get antsy you can request they expedite the sets that are already out. I'm considering doing that for the 3rd month as I really want to keep working on it

 

[greedo737]

I've been doing just that. I'll have month 4 in the next few days. I started on April 1st so I'm getting 4 months worth in 2! [emoji6]

Nice... thanks for the bit of enabling; I'll call now

Nice! I have yet to start my build and I just received month 3. I'm assuming the original nose cone parts already shipped with a previous week? And we will be getting new/improved nose pieces later in the series? If so, thanks for the update!

 

[galactiboy]

That's my understanding... I got the nose cone with month two, but at some point later on we should all get a replacement with an upcoming month.

I don't know how far out that will be, but according to a DeAg rep on another forum they have the prototype done, but don't know what issue it will ship with and no pics to share:
Nose Cone - Build the Millennium Falcon

Check the 2nd to last post in the thread, I'm not familiar with the forum but the poster is listed as an admin so I assume it's legit.

Good to know

The nose cone shipped with the 2nd shipment (I think issue 5 or 6), but yes, they are retooling the nose cone as well as the corridor hull plating that came with issue 1 and 3. There aren't any photos of these pieces as of yet, however, they did say they will be included with later issues for free for subscribers.

 

[galactiboy]

What was the issue with the hull plating?
