Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 10
Thanks guys, just to answer Lee's question..I dunno yet exactly how I'm gonna display it, or where come to that...Not really an answer that is it ?:lol
I've got this metal tube that was part of a shower rail so I was thinking of useing that, so I can run the wire for the lights up inside. Then some sorta custom wooden base with room for the transformer inside. Might get a buddy to run his router around it to funk it up a bit...woodwork ain't my thing
It's all just wizzing round my head at the mo tho...:wacko

Hey Phil, that looks incredible, your jaw boxes fit just perfectly, I remember I had some difficulties with that !
Looks like you have scratched a part while you got the right kit :
Those bits are from the flakvierling 38 and are cut to shape !
I hope it helps,
Julien

Guys you can't have it, it's mine I tell you.. all mine...:lol
That's brilliant !, Thanks Julien, I'll swap that bit...I thought I'd seen it somewhere before, but I think I had another case of kit part blindness:wacko
Might do a bit today, I was thinking of detailing the tops of the corridors, I think I'm just putting off doing the plating tho...need to start that really, but it's a bit daunting....
I'm gonna be in a padded cell after this I think..:lol

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 10
Ok, so more piccys..I realised after I got some more reference and parts, that the pits I'd made were too small to fit the parts into. So I marked out a larger hole and chopped it out..
This is it almost finished, just the new walls to sand down and tidy up
I think it's about right now, I added a couple of other bits just to fill space, but it'll be hidden under the plating, so there was no need really. I scratched the tam 232 bit 'cos my attempt to do a bit of casting a few weeks back went wrong. This was one of the bits I was trying to cast. It was quicker to do that than wait for the darn rubber to set etc, no patience..anyway, when it's under paint who's gonna know.:lol
This is the other side, had to make this hole bigger too,
And onto the dreaded plating...:wacko
I shot some primer into the holes before I started the plating, I thought it would be a bit difficult to get into there with the paint after the plates were on.
That's it for now.
Cheers
Phil

Ooohhh, very brave of you to fix the pit dude, but man it turned out awesome!. She's looking fantastic Phil, plating is amazing!. Kit part detail nice and clean build. I think anyone who pulls off a Scratched Falcon can achieve anything and immediately earns a right of passage!. Not too far to go now eh Phil lol?.

This is an amzing build, you're doing the Falcon more than justice!
I notice you're in Leeds, i live in East Yorkshire, any chance i'd be able to see the finished model in person?

Any progress on your Falcon Phil? Its daunting the amount of work that goes into a scratch build. Yours looks awsome. :thumbsup

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/ even newer pics page 11
There's been a little bit more prog.. the plating on the pit area you saw recently is done and I've added the little chips to that, plated just behind the cockpit tube, and started the opposite rear pit plating....looooong way to go yet..
I'll post some more pics when I get that bit finished.

More pics..Completed pit area with chips added
And the other side, a bit out of focus, but you get the idea..
This is the radar area with penciled marks to test where the plates should be, lots of measureing pics and stuff to figure this out. A bit of messing about was needed to get it to work out though, because most pictures are taken from angles that throw out the perspective.
This is how I tranfered the markings to the styrene plates..I hope you can see what I've done. I placed the straight edge of the styrene against a straight pencil line and put the curves in with the large compass.
Bit more of the same... as the plating was added, I butted up against that to add the next plate.
The next pics are the progress as the plates were added.
And finally to where I'm am now with chips stuck on and a bit of piping
Until I looked closely at pics I thought the plates lined up in a sorta organised way, but they are stepped in places and have small gaps where there's no plating. I'm sure ILM did this to make copying this thing more difficult..
Anyway let me know what you think
Cheers
