Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 4

Hey guys, thanks for all the great comments. It's been difficult at times, but it makes me feel good when I see it sitting on my very untidy bench.
I promised myself I would keep it tidier, but it just ends up looking like a bomb went off..:lol

Anyway, next job's those...what are they?..plantpot shaped airlock things on the ends of the docking corridors...
I'm trying not to think too far ahead, I think my head might explode. Just trying to break it down into manageable parts.

Cheers

Phil

Very wise Phil, she is looking stunning mate, you are a very brave & talented bloke keep up the good work. As for the bench, when everything is in one place you cant loose it?

"when everything is in one place you cant loose it?"

Well said Guy, I'll tell the missus that when she comes into the room to inquire about how I can work in such an untidy place?....or words to that effect..:lol

Amazing work. Curious about one thing. How did the cockpit cone get born? Or do they just appear out of thin air? I'm hoping this is the case; that canopy cone always looked one of the hardest parts to do....

Re: 32" Falcon Progress/update newer pics page 4

The cockpit is a resin cast, but not cast by me. I bought it from a guy in Australia a year, maybe more, ago. He had given up on his build, and I bought the cockpit and the rear vents from him.
It will save me a lot of time. I think it might have originated from a member here, but I can't be 100% sure having got it second hand.

If you bought it from a guy in Aussy land, then it originate from me.

Thanks for confirming that Moe, It's a very nice clean cast and so are the vents.

Hey Moe,...Just remembered that I also got some gearbox parts too from the same guy. They're for the mandible side walls just in front of the entex gearboxes.
I thought they looked like the ones on your site, thanks for those too, very clean bubble free as well, I love the time saving stuff.

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

Hey Guys, just a few more pics of my recent progress..

I can't say that this is 100% accurate, but there are a few correct parts lying about in these pits..this goes for all of it really, I know I'll never find every part, so I'm just gonna do what I can..

This is the front of the dish, the area that's almost hidden between the jaw boxes.

Underside rear boxy bits.

A top pic with the rear deck added.

Turrets started

And finished, apart form the windows, they're gonna be a pig to make, I can see it coming..:lol

Anyway that's it for now...

Cheers

Phil

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

Now that is looking sweet mate, It's coming along nicely!.
Do I spot some RE-20 turbo parts in there lol?. Very clean and tidy buildup I must say!. Much more satisfaction building her than aquiring a MR one me thinks.
Keep it up dude, lookin forward to more of your progress.
Stu:love
