Deagostini Falcon. Anyone seen this?

The turrets on the fine molds can be rotated so that was why I assumed that it would. Certainly not the end of the world, it just caught me off guard.

I have been hoping that Bandai would release one but as time passes that is looking unlikely as time passes. But with my luck, as soon as I buy a Randy Cooper SD, Bandai will release one.

That's usually my luck too... but I've been hearing rumors about a DeAgo 4foot SD so I guess we'll see!

So I guess they're reissuing all those top bits from the first few issues? Sure, I guess...
 
No reissues for the UK with the original upper plating. We're now building the upper hull now that we have all the bottom parts.

I built it the Cooper SD and it makes me do a double take every time I pass by the room it's in. It's beautiful! The most time consuming thing with this model is the miles of fibers it takes to light it. I would definitely light it even if you think it may be overwhelming to take on. It's worth it in the end. Make sure you do some kind of framework inside for support also. With that much resin, I can't see how it wouldn't have some sort of sagging over time. Randy includes some internal support, but the problem is that it's resin also. I used my own and his just to be safe. Just my two cents.

Wow, wow and just wow. That is what I am talking about.

Yeah mine will be fully lit and have a full metal frame built into it. I am gonna basically get it together for display and then go back and do details, lighting, etc. I saw one that basically the top half lifted off for that reason.

It's gonna be a crazy build but fun.

Still hoping Deago comes out with a 4 ft version. Of course 8ft would be best.

Thanks for the pic. Very inspiring.

It's a really nice model. I hope to get one some day. Dtssyst has built this model. I am sure that he can offer you some tips if you ask.

Will do. I think I will be asking a lot of questions of a lot of builders here.

This is what I was hoping for from EFX or Deago but at some point you just have to dive in. Plus it was a good deal.

Hey Tom... that's gonna be a massive undertaking. Will take ya awhile to built. I love Randy Cooper's designs. Even thou they aren't screen accurate they do look very detailed and pretty! That's gonna be a heavy sucker when its done with that much resin. I think I'm gonna wait for either the Bandai or DeAgo SD myself! Have fun with it thou!

Yeah, like I said I chickened out but looking at all these builds I decided it just had to be done.

The building and painting will be fun. The lighting will be AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cry:eek(n)facepalm:(:darnkids:confused

OK... here's the moment of truth and I'm sure I'll get alot of flac for this... but... I've been busy modeling some figures for printing... still thinking of doing a bunch of others but for now, I've got 20 different figures designed but not quite ready for print yet. However, all are scaled to 1:43 to work with the DeAgostini Falcon. Here's a photo render of what I've got so far.

http://www.therpf.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=561198&d=1448986846

OK... here's the list I have so far... Chewie, 3PO, Obi-wan, Lando, Lobot, 3 different Bespin Guards, a Stormtrooper, Leia in 5 different outfits (ANH Robes, Hoth, Bespin, Yavin and Slave outfits), Luke in 3 different outfits (ANH, Jedi, and Yavin outfits), and Han in 3 different outfits (ANH, ESB, and ROTJ). I'm still working on a Hoth Stormtrooper and perhaps Vader, but not quite sure yet (maybe a hoth rebel as well).

Now... here's the big question for everyone. I could leave them all in a standard pose like this and print them up and have you the modeler cut the arms and legs and pose them the way you want OR (and here's the tricky part) I could pose each one myself and offer a different figure for purchasing in different poses... so if I want to make a standing or sitting pose, that would be two different parts to order! I'm going to let you all talk about it for awhile to make up my mind as to what I'll end up doing.

The way I personally see it is this... As long as they are in the scale needed, I can cut them up and pose them the way I want without having to buy 3 or 4 different ones in different positions because I may want the figure in a certain pose, but someone else will want it in another pose. That's just me... so what do you all think? Lemme know and I'll get back to working on a couple others and see what else I can come up with.

Id prefer posed, when you cut people up kit changes the orientation or sizes of limbs, armed stormtroopers in shooting poses, bespin guards need to be walking along with Lando, Lando Luke Han Chewie Obi Wan sitting poses luke and han and chewie in docking bay and DS shooting poses, slave leia needs to be on her side so you can put her in the bunk or on the couch, Vader would be awesome, I remember him striding into the hanger on Hoth with snowtroopers

They look nice and promising, I run a figure manufacturing business for military modellers and as sculpting and casting is done in house I had considered some figures for my falcon. The big blocker has been that disney are likely to crucify any such pieces and manufacturers, especially as knights lost the license and it's probably up for sale. It's one thing offering parts for upgrades of an existing kit but here you are blantantly breaching copyright in the images they own. I don't want to burst the bubble but be prepared for a cease and desist letter that's all, if you are selling them that is.
 
Hey guys, I'm not sure if I'm alone in this but I thought I'd mention it just in case. My issue 37 was missing a an inner rib so you might want to check it before putting the boxes away.
 
My latest monthly subscription arrived on Friday. I got working on it whilst it was 40 degrees outside on Sunday. Sadly the aircon struggled from the heat, but I was too involved in building.

It's pretty satisfying finally screwing everything down.

The under engine machinery is just sitting in place, not glued down yet until I start painting.





 
Well it's official! I've been charged for December without even receiving November's parts. Lame!
 
Not been billed for Month 11, but still waiting on 10 to arrive. I'm due to be billed for 11 on 12/14 (per my usual cycle).

I got a shipping notice for 10 on 12/1. Delivery has usually been 3-4 days after shipping. I had hoped for delivery last Friday (nope).

Then, I was sure it would come today, but no.

I do wish they offered tracking on these shipments.
