When I will begin my second Bandai Falcon and do it as the 5 footer I will buy ALL that stuff :lol

AWESOME cheers

Yes!!!!!!

What about a new cockpit. The stock one is too toy-like and doesn't feel like it comes from either the five footer OR the 32"

Dang it, between this and their Deagostini stuff I might well sign over my paycheck to them, lol. Love it. When the time comes to convert the Bandai to the ANH 5 footer I am sooooo buying these.

Bought all three. Almost the price of the kit, but what are you gonna do?

I say this now. ....but I think my falcon quest will end with the inevitable 1/72 Bandai.

The question is....which falcon will it become? I suppose that depends on shape ways.

For some reason, I see the panelling changes as the biggest obstacle

Mine, too... if I can afford it :unsure

If Bandai didn't make a change, except scaling it up, a 1/72 Falcon from them would still be the most accurate to me. They nailed the basic shape, which FM failed to do.

No skinny Falcons for me!

Hmmm....curious about those. Greenstrawberry has some photoetch ones coming soon that have 4 parts each. They look brilliant. But the ease of the printed ones is pretty appealing

These are even molded open!!! Under $10 even!!

 

[astroboy]

Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the two materials?

Is the extreme detail that much different?

 

[Robiwon]

It prints at a much higher resolution, less print artifacts (print lines) so you get finer details, like being able to print the open engine vents.

Just received my engine baffles from Tony. Very nice detail, crisp and sharp, as are all of Tony's parts. :thumbsup

I broke down and ordered the original dish/mount and the engine vents yesterday so I can make an OT Falcon. :thumbsup

 

[Betamin]

We have a problem.... I just got an email from Shapeways saying they CAN'T make the 5 footer dish that I ordered. That's a problem since I also ordered the base, which won't do me any good if I have no dish to put on it. Has anyone else gotten a notice about the dish or other parts like this?

 

[crackerjazz]

That cant be right, Betamin. Jaitea got his.
