Another MPC Millennium Falcon Modification

joberg · Sep 7, 2014

I like it a lot, love the layering

Zombie_61 · Sep 7, 2014

Except for that gaping hole where the cockpit should be, it looks a whole lot like the Millennium Falcon I remember seeing in the movies. Really strong work!!!

Looks great John. It looks like you cleaned up the weathering a little if that makes sense? I'm liking the overall tone of the paint color. Either way its shaping up nicely!

newmagrathea · Sep 10, 2014

What did you used to tone down the reds? A wash of some sort?

Great work, I'm planning to pic this kit up soon.

Very very nice dude. An inspiring build I may have to have a crack at my mpc kit after reading through this.

....OK......after a break,....while I had the airbrush out,....I resprayed some of those areas that annoyed me the last time,......much happier now

I honestly think this was the reason I moved on to other projects,....paint......but I will see this baby finished

Thanks for looking
John

Amazing!

I had forgotten what beautiful work you've done to this. I jumped to the latest pictures and had to double check the title of the thread to make sure I clicked on the right link because this looks nothing like the MPC kit anymore. The paint job is outstanding!

Jaitea · May 14, 2015

Thanks very much Randy & astroboy,.....I'm building a tank for the Scale Model Addict 'Big Spring Contest'.....no getting out of painting there,.....& I do feel a bit more confident with the airbrush now,....so I fixed up the bits that were nagging me about the MPC Falcon

BUT still so much to do

Pro-job for sure:cool Eager to see it with its cockpit.

crackerjazz · May 14, 2015

That paintjob is simply topnotch! It's a 5-footer through and through!!!

thumbsup:thumbsup

Simply an amazing looking Falcon!. Paint is the best I've ever seen on an MPC & the detailing is very intricate & convincing. So glad you got back to this mate, its so impressive!.

Deilvert · May 15, 2015

Incredible!!!! as all your work

Axlotl · May 15, 2015

This is superb.
Makes me want to throw my MPC in the trash.

Thanks for your great comments guys, especially from expert modellers like yourselves,....it puts my mind at rest that I am on the right track

Thanks joberg,.....I have a cockpit made,...but I'm not entirely happy with it.....& it was my 2nd attempt at it,.....I'm toying with the thought of asking Tony (FZ6) to redesign a 3d printed one,....but then that would be the only part that I didn't kit-bash or scratch up,.....dunno......but a 3d printed one would make this model official looking

Thanks crackerjazz,.....all those images you posted waaaaayyyyyy back were the inspiration for this build.......so its all your fault

......no but seriously, all credit goes to you & Ozzy on this build

Thanks eagle1,.....you know the 5 footer more than anybody,...that is a great compliment.......its just a pity I didn't fix the hull curvature before I started,.....I've got 2 more new MPC's.....maybe the next one....:rolleyes

Thanks tankboyben,.....I still have to work out the engine lights then I can glue her together

Wow,.....thankyou Deilvert,...great compliment,.....its not usual to see any of my work painted though....

......Oh no don't do that,.....thanks Axloti

.....So my plans for the MPC......finish the cockpit,.....Turret interiors,.....redesign the engine lights,.....redesign the cargo platform (inspired by images from the 'Star Wars Rebels' cartoon)......weather the underside,.......that should be it.......by then hopefully Bandai will reveal its 1/72 Falcon which will be totally accurate to the 5 footer CG enhanced Falcon from the new film,....& spin offs,......then I'll join Axloti by throwing my MPC's in the bin:facepalm

Thanks for the help & support guys

John

astroboy · May 16, 2015

Heck, when Bandai releases their Falcon, I have a fine molds 1/72, and amt cutaway, a blue moon kit and a lot of futile hours that will hit the bin.

Vacformedhero · May 16, 2015

Stunning, you need another shot of it next to hasbro and finemolds because it's so like the 5 footer.........high water mark

MARK M3 · May 16, 2015

Beautiful work my friend...BEAUTIFUL

jlwshere · May 16, 2015

This is not really an MPC modification.... This is essentially a scratch build and the model that should have been released by MPC! I wish you could kit it. Awesome job!
