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

I CA my parts to foamcore. It works really well for me. The parts are nice and flat and all I have to sand off is a thin layer of paper.

Great trick...never thought of that one

White (Elmer's) school glue in teeny amounts, cleaned up with Q-tip swabs and alcohol for any excess/spillover.

Manugu has been helping iron out some mistake in my maps. Before I make the change I wanted to double check this one. Should the circled part at the top be a 1/24 instead of the 1/48 I have? I think maybe it should be.

Thanks,
John

So suddenly today my Apple pencil has decided it doesn't want to draw in Photoshop anymore. It will select menus, and works perfectly in any other app. Anyone ever have this issue? I'd like to keep working on my maps. Grrr...

 

[jcoffman99]

What a day. Got my Apple Pencil working again and made a mold and cast of this. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

So after measuring my piece and looking at pics, this is what I came up with for the front measurements. Am I good?

 

[jcoffman99]

Match?

 

[Studio Kitbash]

Zoom out -- can't tell what area we're looking at. Is this a mandible sidewall?

 

[jcoffman99]

Yeah. On the old maps it was labeled as the McLaren, but I don't see it in that kit.

 

[jcoffman99]

Here’s a better pic of the part. Forgot I had this kit.

Are there any parts of the AMT Moving van used or is it just needed for the infamous sticker?

Need a scan of it? I can work that out today if needed.

I've looked at the parts. Just not seeing anything. But thanks.

 

[JSchneider]

Great job on the casting! I'm just about at that point too. Think I'm going to go down to Reynolds Materials here and take a few seminars they offer. Youtube videos are great and all, but I'm a hands on kinda guy! Haha.

Isn't that the wrong version? I thought you need the Allied version for the Route 1 sticker.
