9 months later, I'm finally done my bird! I already miss working on this model! Thanks to everyone on these boards for your support and advice! More pics on my thread DerfOnarged's Bandai Perfect Grade Millennium Falcon WIP

looks really nice. Is your cockpit lighting battery operated? It looks fantastic...also how did you power the light-strip?

The cockpit I used the stock kit system. The lightstrip for the engine lights I used a battery powered lightstrip I got off amazon.

Here you go! Don’t use the stock diffusers btw, I’ve never got the engines bright enough for my liking with them.

Well my one turned up...
In a massively HUGE box, i knew this thing was going to be big... but fluff me!
So this thing was packed in the Bandai shipping box, within another box filled with stuffing... that other box was then in the MASSIVE box filled with loads of bubble and peanuts and everything
Now im glad the seller packed it well for safe shipping from Belgium to the UK but damn if anything its a bit over packed....
At least no I have it before they run out, no idea when Ill start building it though loads of other things to do still... maybe start in the summer...

I agree, those diffusers really do their job. unless of course your Falcon theme is just landed or preparing for take off...or as I like to think of it, landed, short stay, everything still powered up. I didn't use the supplied lighting either, but I did use the light panels with 3mm blue LED's, which for my purposes worked exactly the way I wanted it to on the first try. Depends on the theme you're going for I reckon. There's several posts on this thread of guys using different combinations of lighting and acrylic panels behind the engine grilles with phenomenal results ...just my two shillings

I'm in the middle of the one I have, but if i saw one for that, i think i'd buy a second one just because
it's a super fun kit, i'm going to be sad when it's over. once you get in there you're gonna see why they're a bit spendy, the quality is top shelf...You're gonna love it

That's where I'm at, currently. I've done a few marathon sessions and still have about 100 left to go...

I'll bet if when I get to the decals, I could sit down on a Saturday and Sunday, go bell to bell both days and not get them all done in a weekend

Your neck and eyes will pain you but I'm sure it's possible. I did mine in in about 1 hour sessions over about 2 weeks.I'll bet if when I get to the decals, I could sit down on a Saturday and Sunday, go bell to bell both days and not get them all done in a weekend

That's probably the best approach. I love the hobby but sometimes I have to step away for a few or I start doing things sloppy and we can't be having any of that
That's why I PMed him link to that offer instead of putting it hereI'm in the middle of the one I have, but if i saw one for that, i think i'd buy a second one just because
