Last year for Christmas I picked up the 1/72 PF Falcon from Bandai. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to build it and paint it... As soon as I opened it I realized that not only did I have no idea what I was doing with a model like this, I had no business in even attempting this model... It was too much for me. I had not built models since I was a kid (and that was a looooooong time ago). And even the ones I did built I never patined, I was always afraid to mess it up.
Anyway, fast-forward almost a full year, and I have been building all of the Bandai models this entire time. I started with the X-Wing and I have built over half of what Bandai offers, the other half is sitting on my shelf, including the new Star Destroyer (still not sure what to do with the clear parts..) waiting to be built. I have been watching other modelers on Youtube and of course a lot of perusing the forums here looking for ideas. I felt that the time was right and that I had gleamed a tiny amount of skill to take on the small falcon.
Below is my 1/144 Falcon build, this was basically a test to see if I was ready to build the big brother. Now that the weather is turning cold where I live, I can spend some serious time with the 1/72 which I am looking forward too!
Here is my first post on this amazing forum, be nice to the noob
