Build you own Falcon subscription

[galactiboy]

Galactiboy, are you considering getting any 3D printed upgrades?
The canopy window transoms look very thick compared to the original filming model.

Looks like there's upgraded (though very expensive) parts on Shapeways: Millennium Falcon Nose Cone DeAg Studio Scale (Q3QFQ4SJ3) by SpaceInScale

Yep, as others have said the new cockpit will hopefully address some of those issues. I am considering a few of the Shapeways pieces though... mostly some bits that would make the hold look a bit nicer and possibly a replacement console for the cockpit as the sticker doesn't really do it for me.

But for the most part I'll be sticking with the stock parts, but painting everything.

If anyone in the US wants more binders, here is the link: Star Wars Millennium Falcon Binders | ModelSpace

 

[galactiboy]

Thanks, for a second I thought one binder was $20 and I was going to be pissed... I imagine shipping is another $5 or so.

 

[Thorne]

Shipping is $2 for one set. $5 for multiples.

Spent the afternoon on this, pretty happy with the results

Is that stock or painted?

 

[greedo737]

Looks stock. I got a better floor and barrels and crap from shapeways. I then primed, painted and dry brushed the hold.

 

[greedo737]

I take that back. It looks like he weathered the floor.

Is that stock or painted?

Some parts stock, some painted, some just given a wash. Post 529 has pics of the cockpit and Hold floor in more detail

 

[Centurion]

Nicely done! Keep those pics coming.

Excellent work inked & Greedo737, looks awesome.

Received issue's 21-24 a few days ago. Not much in these issue's, but the underside of the hull is starting to take shape.

 

[greedo737]

Thank you! I'm up to issue 24 as well. I've only put the frame together. I don't want to mess with the hull plates til we have the complete underside. Then I'll be doing the Tamiya Insignia White spray and washing/weathering. Plus the red/yellow/grey panel colors. I ordered a set of paints from this site but haven't gotten them yet:

water based hobby paint for the star wars millennium falcon. Offering 2 base colours and full sets and single bottles.

Anyone else tried these yet?

 

[galactiboy]

All the way up to set 24... I'm just at 16

Being two months behind the UK is painful.

 

[Thorne]

They're further ahead than that. They're already up to issue 29.

I just got charged for 21-24 yesterday. Should be here by next Monday.

Yep, DeAgo screwed up my sub at the beginning so I'm behind by a month

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I just saw a guy who posted the week 29 video. That Turret ring is pretty massive.

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED IN AUSTRALIA YET! STOP YOUR COMPLAINING!

Err.. and the photos everyone is posting are great.

 

[erichulgan]

Hang in there Australia it will be worth the wait. I've been busy cutting down large pine trees and clearing property to build. That and everything summer as well.

 

[smc100]

Anyone else getting the photo etch set from ParaGrafix? I just ordered the cockpit set and pre-ordered the hold. It lets you add lighting not only to the back but the sides of the cockpit.


You can get them from here
