I can't wait to build it.frightened that I'm going to mess up paint and weathering.as I've never done it before. Been wanting to build something for years but never got to try anything.
“Unfortunately the Millennium Falcon is not currently available to our US customers of yet. We are trying to have this model migrated over from the UK by early April, please subscribe to the newsletter on www.Model-Space.com to be notified when this model is released.”
Looks like it has been pushed back
But it is coming
Talk about needed to get permission from the wife makes me smile. I am truly blessed with my wife... I classify my modeling projects into cheap enough to say nothing to her, and that's a good chunk of cash and then we have a conversation that usually goes like this:
"Hey - I saw something today that I REALLY want. Its stupid expensive but I REALLY want it."
She then gets a little smile and rolls her eyes "How much?"
I reply, "Too Much but I really want it".
...
6 months to a year later when said really expansive thing is finally produced and delivered
"What's this? She'll say
"Oh we talked about that and we decided to get it" - I reply
"Really I don't remember that the way you do...", as she picks up item X and says "This is really cool"... "How much was it?"
I reply - "Too Much but I really wanted it".
and then I put it on display somewhere...
The only exception to this pattern was my signature edition MR falcon. It arrived while I was at work and after she pulled the packing slip off the box that the delivery man placed into my garage (too big to fit in the front door) and saw the almost 3K for it (including shipping), she kinda lost it... Luckily for me it was a week before her birthday and I had already bought her a damn expensive gift that she had been after but thought was too much money. I walked over to the other side of the garage where I had stashed it and brought it out and gave it to her on the spot... she remained angry but softened greatly... a little while later it was her idea for me to get the acrylic cover customer made for the MR falcon. I really do have the best wife ever - plus she's easy on the eyes

Thats some funny ****** right there.
Lear60man's guide to get almost anything you want.
Say you want the Agostini Falcon. Start searching for MR Falcons on Ebay etc when the wife is in the room. Let her heart skip a few beats when she sees the zeros. Make it the topic of every conversation, tell her how she wont miss cable TV or new tires on the family car. The household can do without for a few months while you save up for your MR Falcon! Get excited, really Excited! Like a 9 year old kid on Christmas morning! Then let her stew for a few days.
When she starts avoiding the whole mess, now is the time to strike. Pull out the Agostini alternative, 'its only a couple bucks a month' you say. 'I think Ill just get this instead and skip Starbucks'. You will be her hero. Problem solved.
This method has worked my entire life.
My wife is awesome this way too... well in more ways than just one of course.
But for your assertion about easy on the eyes... I think we need to discuss this in committee... Pics would help. Maybe one with her and the Falcon... purely for science and justice of course.

that day i decided ill be with her all my life.....
by the way .. next one
