This is the Legacy Falcon, I like it because of it's size. It's the biggest Falcon that was ever commercially available. The detail is good enough for me, but the cockpit is way too big, so I'll scratch build a new cockpit, cut the lower boxes down, shake and bake...keep it simple.
Re: Legacy Millennium Falcon Conversion - Shake and Bake
Hack sawed some lines into the pipe and added some greeblies, not really following any particular model, just going with what I have lying around and what I like the look of.
It's been a real mission to get the access pipe to work with the rest of space that's left once I cut out all the oversized tunnel and cockpit., I'll have to fill a fair bit because I'm downsizing the tunnel and cockpit, but it has to be done, because the cockpit is so overly large on this falcon. All the dark grey greeblies are actually from parts I cut out of this falcon
Thank you, it's a slow beast of a thing. I want to keep it simple. The base model is very accurate and the largest commercially available, so I will continue to fix the major flaw that is the cockpit and surround.
That is just a trick of the photo distortion that piece is actually a Deagostini piece and fits perfect. I actually
Re-skinned the entire bird and gained about 1 more inch to the total width.

I didn't get a radar dish with this toy, so I made one.....heated some styrene sheet over the gas BBQ, got it nice and soft, pulled it over the back of a stand up fan motor housing to get the curve, cut some plastic cable ties, ran some solder wire around the edge and cut up a fly swat.
