I just assumed he'd fly it there? PEW PEW PEW

Absolutely brilliant, another studio scale ANH falcon takes flight, as this is something I am currently squirreling away kits for this very same project.
Im late to the party as I’ve been busy , amazing build , great quality workmanship and thank you for sharing your progress. This will give the rest of us the drive to keep moving with our own .
I’ve plenty of questions but I’ll wait until I get my own underway

The case for this is going to be epic. I don't know how they transported the real one, but it's gotta be really heavy.

That looks like the smaller falcon to my eye. 32"? (don't break my arms, I haven't researched han's old hot rod in years) Either way that looks dangerous for the model.

It kinda does, but I see the Route 1 decal above the cockpit and various other details and weathering that seem to indicate it's the big one.

Cockpit has the Allied Vans decal - 5 footer

I don't know why but I call it the route 1 decal.

Cause it has a route 1 sign on it.

That would be a good reason.

Yeah, I've transported the 66" Enterprise and the 6' Galactica, but this is gonna take some extra 'boxing'. In a nutshell though, it'll be supported by the middle stand, and the docking ring pipes, so the trick will really be ensuring it can handle 'shock' of bumps on road. But all that's a ways out!

Thanks again for the nice feedback! Here's some updates for ya. Almost done with the top Jawbox - lots of little parts and details on this one vs. the bottom. Then it'll be onto the maintenance bay pit installs, then the armor plating. Getting into the final stretch!!

First up are the guns - mostly done now, go into primer next.






Base Jaw Box assembled, started front parts and styrene




Most parts down, need piping



The little bits here are TINY!


Piping now installed








So just have a few more parts to put on the jawbox, primarily some truck frames, a couple of armor parts for the front jaw and a few detail parts, then add a few more pipes/bits and the Jawbox will be done!

[moffeaton]

Loving the back part of that gun that is now broken off/missing!!

Pro-Job once more time...Man this is crazy cool:cool

 

[faustus100]

Great work! Curious,what price would you put on it when finishrd?

 

[t2sides]

Jawbox Top completed and test fit checks. (Final parts at front, and piping completed)
Will get bonded to the hull, then primered up soon! (last 2 shots has some temporary styrene overhang panels started, and the walkway has the plating added.)
