Bandai 1/144 Millenium Falcon slow build.

[RomanoveModely]

I see, so how to order when it's there? Through you?

I will inform you guys here and also will try to apply the grills into my build.
the PE should be available through their e-shop - just search for Greenstrawberry models.

Wow that BB8 is tiny! That must have been really hard to get looking good.

Those mods to the Falcon are looking nice as well.

Great job

Inimini update. Only two clicks away from ordering a turret window frames from Shapeways but then decided to do it myself with the clear one. So for those of your guys who wants to safe some bucks: Drill lots of holes and get a scalp:




Its doable :thumbsup

Good job as always

Thanks, it's a nice substitute while waiting for the new photo-etch one...

I asked Paulbo on Facebook if he was going to do the vent grill PE and he said he wasn't planning to......

Good to know someone else is making the PE

That's too bad but be patient, someone is going to make it soon enough. :thumbsup

Hey Leyrich thanks man. :thumbsup
But if you going to "lick" it then I have to give everything an extra coat of paint

Well, I also did some tiny modification on my Falcon.
All turret windows done:


A personal flavor mod to the radar section, really bugs me that those pipes ended out there.


This section also needs some changes. New pipe and "shield".


Like this..

But... I wasn't happy with it yet so I cut the shield and now that I'm at it also those "ramps"


Adding new greebies

..... Pipelines and new ramps


I stick the shield on to the turret.


This is how it looks from behind.

... at the front.


Also carved the ventilation opening, fresh air.


This is also important, re do the portside panels. Mirrored panels sucks!

There you have it...


Thanks for watching, next up..... New walkway trench greebies.
