Ha Thanks Jameth
Yep, looking awesome for sure:cool...and I'm certainly not concerned about your mental state since you're churning great updates everytime
Na, I think Jameth's right I must be insane!! Thanks Joberg
So am I
I've cut the walls out on the Mandibles,.....I'm going to scratch & kitbash up some details for them,.....gonna cut out the others too
So I finished the Fuel pressure thing & made a mould of it,.....thinking of making a vacuum chamber,.....I had a bit of trouble with bubbles
They're not attached yet,....just set on at the minute:
Thanks very much for looking

Hey you better be careful or you might have a proper Millennium Falcon there. That is going to display very nicely.

Simply amazing attention to detail. I am new to these parts but it still fascinates me how little i know about something when i come here and find the wealth of knowlege!
I have 2 of these Hasbros. I am no where near the skill level in regards to attention to detail and replacing all of these parts as yet! So far i decided i just wanted to weather it and make it grimey (this is the best part of Star Wars!!) So i am here at the moment..
I know it is not to everyones taste, it was my first attempt with a new method of weathering. Its a bit heavy at the moment but my LED lighting makes it look more contrasted... I can also easily remove the weathering as it is literally like space filth in all the crevices :
I plan on putting some lighting in and converting the cockpit. A few minor mods unless the parts start coming out of the woodwork, then i may keep going

Thanks Its about 3hrs worth of weathering. In doing that you also darken the plastic. I dont plan on airbrushing it or spraying it any more. Its kinda nice as it is!
A group I am in on Facebook is becoming a wealth of knowlege on these Hasbro builds now, so its all starting to kick off! Not bad for a £22 toy!

Thanks very much guys for the comments
Cracker paint job there grimsheeper,....it'll be a good while before mine sees colour!!!
I've been doing a bit of overtime in my work work, so I'm only getting back to whats important now!!
So the past couple of days I've been working on the engine nozzles,....I made it from plasticard, tubes & some kit-parts
...and I moulded it,.....I need to have 13 of them......3 done
I need to drill out some parts & remove the engine section of the Hasbro
Thanks very much for looking

I saw someone make this part from these :
Not 100% accurate obviously, but pretty close! When you take the inners out they glow nicely behind some frosted plastic

I love the mods being done to this model! I plan on making the engine as the studio model was made. Just a simple light diffused plastic. The "grill" has never set well with me as it was a CG added bit. Has anyone else gone the actual studio model look of the engines?

I know, its a tough decision to make,....but really it comes down to the normal state of this model,.....It'll be sitting wit its lights off 99.9% of the time, so I'd prefer to see some detail on the engines.......but look at this build over at Scale Model Addict
Nice

Yup! The builder must decide just what he is making - a model of the studio model or a model of a Millennium Falcon (fictional beastie & hence open to interpretation...) I think a lot of us saw the fantastic cutaways which showed what looks like a series of 'ejector pipe' looking structures and related that to the 'enhanced' (hrummph!) movie versions. Then off to the Yellow Brick Road, as it were... whatever makes one happy.

Sweet Baby Jebus, that's awesome! That's what I want on my BMF. Just a band of white hot light like God intended. :lol
