Re: 32" Falcon Progress/ more new piccys page 16

Guy's, I'm very flattered with all the kind words, I just hope that I can do a good job to complete it....I'm not just saying that, It needs to have such a specific look to it, and I've never tried to match anything this closely before....arrgghh !..:wacko

Chris, shame about the figures, but thanks for looking anyway,..I'm a bit tempted to just leave it with the tamiya on there, I'll ponder over it a little...
I'm still needing figures then, so LMK if any turn up please..

Guy, thanks for the kind offer of the VIP pass, but I can't make the 28th, I'm having a small shindig for my birthday that day, don't wanna think about how old I am really, but serious amounts of beer should numb it a bit..lol..
As for the grime mix....I didn't write specific ratios down mate, I'm really sorry, I know I should've. But it's mainly about 2 thirds tam flat white, 1 third deck tan. I also added a few drops of medium grey and buff to warm it up a little bit...

Hi Moe, I did consider humbrol and the 129 colour looks close to my MR snowspeeder, so I wondered if it would be a good match lightened up a bit...

Anyway, hopefully a bit more progress this week, and I'll drop into halfords and get some of the pads. If Guy and Lee both say they're good, that's good enough for me..thanx dudes.

Cheers all

Phil

James, there's a couple of light shots at the beginning of the thread but nothing more recent. I should try it though, 'cos it's been two years at least since it was tested, but having said that I can't get into it now even if if doesn't work...:unsure

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/ more newer pics page 6

hello,
I have a question in reference to post #155 the pic next to last where the calculator is in view on the table. What are the two large parts on the side of the ship (in front of the calculator)? They look like transmission parts? Thanks

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/ more new piccys page 16

They're casts from an entex porche kit, I dunno the scale off hand because I got them as casts...
I'm sure someone will be able tell you more about the kit if you need it, but it's very expensive now I believe..

Cheers

Yes it is expensive, about 5 of these kits would equal enough to buy the MR
model. Well, if you have a contact that could still cast these I might be interested. thanks

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/ more new piccys page 16

HOLY CRAP! Maybe it's just me but, I don't think I'd ever pay that much for a single, little part. CRAZY!

I'm the one that bought the Entex that just sold on eBay. Unbuilt - worth every penny.

The body and other key parts will sacrifice themselves for my Slave 1.

And my AT-ST. And Snowspeeder.... ahhhh. Styrene!

Did it sell for that much because of us Star Wars fans?
