Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Hi Gang,

Quick morning update...

Here is what the diamond pattern padding will look like against the beams...

Note all the holes that still need filling and sanding

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

These pieces seem to reproduce on their own...gotta watch for that! Painting job is A+ as far as I'm concerned; wish you luck at GMX.

LOL! For a second there I thought I would have to tent the house and call the exterminators!

The panels looked good this morning. When I get home I'm going to sand and add filler. Hopefully I'll be able to hit it with another coat. Then pinstrip tomorrow morning... Talk about cutting it close! I need all the luck I can get!

As always, amazing!

Thank you, Sir!

Sofaking will you make any video logs, to capture on video documentaries these moments that you are writing history? The future generations deserve to know!

Hey A,

I've been strongly considering starting a video log that highlights both the build and "how-to's" but I don't have a video editor app. I know I know... I'm slacking...

Well I for one am amazed at how much you get done *and* document all by yourself. So many great photos!

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Hi Gang,

The painting continues...

Panels filled and sanded

Getting a fresh coat

Waiting their turn

The parts are beginning to pile up

All painted and waiting for pinstripes

I'm going to wait until tomorrow EARLY to add the pinstripes. Then a coat of clear satin to seal them in place... Looks like these will be the last to be loaded up. It's supposed to storm tomorrow so I'm not sure how the load up is going to go...

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Hi Gang,

While the panels dry I created the pattern for the pinstripes. I had to make up a few areas but this is what I came up with...

The rest of the panels have a simple pinstripe outline and the large rectangular "lid" shape...

More to Come!

I love the shot of all the panels on your kitchen bench. Cooking up a treat

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I think you just might make it in time

Pin striping looks fantastic.

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Might add a few more stripes to this guy

Whew...

Thanks! Made it before the storm came in - we're expecting MAJOR thunderstorms for this afternoon and evening. The trailer is all loaded up and if for the first time in many many cockpit related days... I have the afternoon off!

You know... sometimes I amaze even myself... Actually, when I get into a groove, everything seems to flow. I had some VERY good luck with the ESB panels.

Thanks, Kev! It never seems like a lot until you have to carry them from room to room...

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Hi Gang,

Well... the packing is done and I finally have an afternoon to do nothing. Of course my mind is racing with all the things I SHOULD be doing (door greeblies, ESB panel greeblies, etc...)

I made packing and assembly a bit easier for myself and the gang when I get to GMX. Last time I unbolted EVERY panel - dumb. This time is MUCH easier...

Wrap it and pack it

Now I have all this clean up...

Lots of pics and my own vids coming tomorrow night!
