*end edit*

I took these pictures for the MFalcon group but I thought id share them here as well. Ill take more, probably in a couple of weeks when I get back from a trip . Ill get the underside as well as the sides.

42 pictures here
BTW the pictures 100_0370 through 100_0383 were taken at an exact right angle from the top and from several yards away to reduce parallax errors. good pictures to make plans from if you need them

Re: some MR Falcon pictures with measurements for you guys

Yes, thank you VERY much! I have had the Fine Molds Falcon sitting in the closet since I bought it when it first came out, and these pics (especially the top and bottom pics) will help me in detailing and painting it when I start it.

Thanks!

I was just testing a new point-and-shoot camera I bought for my girlfriend and I got a pretty nice shot of the cockpit from the MR Falcon...

Re: some MR Falcon pictures with measurements for you guys

These are gonna be a great help. THANKS!
As for the underside, can you get measurements on all of the landing gear compartments, as well as their distances from one another and from the edges of the underside?
THANKS AGAIN!

Sorry it took so long to get this done guys, I know I promised this a while back before my trip, and Ive been back for a while. One of the reasons is that I really hate turning the Falcon upside down as it is VERY heavy and Im always afraid of breaking something in the process. I hope I got everything this time.

The pictures aer not as good as the pictures I took of the top of the Falcon, I know. That is because I was using a much better camera then, but it was borrowed and I dont have it anymore. Also the day today is gloomy and that day it was sunny so the lighting was much better.

I tried to take all the pictres just as I did the first batch, although it may not be visible on this one, with the measurements taken from points without plating. This way you can use the measurements to make the ships skin itself and then add plating afterwards.

On to the pics:
(theres over 100 pictures in this album so dont forget to look at al the pages)
