So, Falcon in-hand at last YAY! Wow, this thing is going to need paint and a bit of love - slightly terrified now. Anyways, looking at it in the flesh, I've got a coupld of questions you guys likely know off the top of your heads. First, the aft most 'box' on the bottom - is that, and come to think of it all of the boxes on the bottom as well, too shallow? On both the BMF and my MPC Falcon, that box is taller, whereas on the HSMF the leading edge is almost flush with the hull. Not sure if there's anything that can be done about it if so, but something looks off to me there.
Second, regarding the lower turret - am I correct in thinking that that whole circular chunk of the ship is identical to the upper circle in terms of the window placement and armor panels? If so that leads me to...
Third - I know there are various tutorials out there on casting, but can anyone recommend one they feel is actually decent? I'm thinking I'm going to want to cast the whole upper circle, cast the vents on the BMF (I think the small vents on the docking arms are made with the same size grill/mesh stuff as the big ones, and so can be produced from the same mold), and somehow figure out how to cast the quad gun (unscrew it maybe? I dunno, it just looks daunting). Never having DONE that before (I've cast clay sculpts for prosthetic makeup before, but nothing that had to survive the cast, and never in resin), I'm hoping to start with a GOOD tutorial so that I don't destroy the HSMF or my kids' BMF in the process. Any hints here would be really, really appreciated!
