An RPF Open Source 5 ft Millennium Falcon Build/Reference Thread. All Are Welcome

[Studio Kitbash]

Ship of mysteries!
Ship of many mysteries!
Ship of myriad mysteries!

I love it -- pretty soon our builds will come with archeological warnings and build date disclaimers: "Warning: THIS replica 5-Footer Millennium Falcon was built in the pre-Shamon dynasty and therefore is missing 24 greeblies that were subsequently discovered."

Revised thanks to Shamon.

Are the two "pipes" just tubing or are they part of some exhaust?

Do you mean the steel pipes inside the left and right mandibles? In that case, it's not for exhaust.

 

[jcoffman99]

I meant these guys.

They look like Plastruct rods to my eye. On the right, there appears to be a bit of compression deformation from where they've been cut.

Every time you post, you have a photo I've never seen before LOL.. That photo of the two guys polishing (?) the support mounts is brilliant.

That's what I was thinking.

Thanks to Read for his awesome discovery......I give you the finished map!!!!

Thanks to Studio Kitbash, I found out that the gear that was unidentified was a part of the German Tank IV-F2. Knowing this result, one thing came up with me that I was curious about. Who was the first person to say that this part is Hummel? As you know, many parts are shared in the three kits of Hummel, Tank IV-F2, and Assault Gun4. This is an imagination, but maybe there was an vintage Hummel kit that was not posted on Scale mates, and this gear was included in it.

This is a leaflet announcing the release of 1/15 Hummel. It is similar to the box art of the 1/30 kit, but the details are different. This picture may be the box art of the first edition of 1/15 Hummel.

[Edit] - never mind.. I found what I was after.

AI is crazy. This is the summary that Gemini created for the kit list document on my drive:

This document is a guide for building a 5-foot Millennium Falcon model using various donor kits. It lists kits from manufacturers like Airfix, AMT, Bandai, and others, with information such as kit numbers, scales, and prices. The guide is updated as the builder progresses and aims to be a reference for future builders. It includes a table of contents and detailed lists of specific kits organized by manufacturer.

Skynet be crazy yo.

 

[RealDaveWinter]

Yeah, mildly horrifying.

What's worse is the damn thing will be building Studio Scale models soon. That will suck !

Please forget the "Hummel hypothesis" that I imagined. lol

Edit: Sorry, I posted it in Japanese, so I corrected it.

 

[Studio Kitbash]

先ほどお話しした「フンメル理論」については忘れてください。笑

Shou thing!

There will be no progress without exploration. Thanks for sharing all your findings!

When I looked closely again, this part was not a BMW R75 Sidecar.

 

[jcoffman99]

Fixed!
