Yeah I have that kit-when I first saw that part I thought I was home free!
But Im trying for complete accuracy-thats what makes this process so hard!One of the few kits that you mentioned that I dont own is the Jeep(Mark didnt show that one on his list either)-Ill get a few different ones this week hopefully.

Well my thinking is that maybe a different company that makes that model may have that part molded differently. The round part on the end looks like a spot for the plastic to pour in to the mold.
I'll keep looking.
Hmmm..thats a thought as well.Ill look for other Matildas also!I think the trick may be to find out what that part on the Matilda is used for and go from there.

That looks great Faustus !
Your shield generator seems to be scratched, why didnt you use the kitpart ?
Yeah Tox-that was an old pic-before I found the right part-
They now are Full kit parts-its amazing how 1 part can throw it off.Heres what they look like with the correct parts-
Yep Faustus, those 1/12 F1 kits are gorgeous for that !
Anyway your scratchbuilt part was very close to the original !
Hey, been thinking about the giant Falcon lately.
Any recent progress, Wayne?
I looked for your thread over on starshipmodeler, but it looks like it fell off the edge of the world.
Yeah Sup!Actually Ive just about done all but 1 (of the 13)access pits!
Still working on it,I have a great friend helping me who is VERY knowledgeable about the Falcon.Hes the best consultant in the world on this stuff and has also become a good friend-without him I wouldnt have dreamed of getting this far.Ill send pix soon but heres a sample

I have been wondering myself how you have been progressing, good to hear you are still making progress.
Look forward to seeing some more pics, the last pit looks great.

But I have all my stats-Im pretty confident.Still banging away at the components-almost through.I gotta be careful on this-mistakes can (at this point)be very costly!

Looking good so far!
On a side note...I think we have the same carpet in our home that you do.
=)
Absolutely beautiful work so far. The 5 footer is my grail model. When is someone going to master a kit of this. I just don't have the skill to scratch build, but if some one offered a kit I would be all over it. I realize that space constraints are a concern, but there has to be others like me who are waiting for one of the fine artisans on this board to take the plunge.
I have alittle secret.....I couldnt decide whether to make the ANH or the ESB/ROTJ version, so..........
