DeAgostini Millennium Falcon

[COlson]

Here are some photos of my DeAgostini Millennium Falcon model build. I built this a few years ago now. I was an early adopter of the kit. The additional interior hold detail is all custom built from styrene and tubing. The floors of the hold and halls are photo etch, as well as the engine, exhaust grills and gunner ports. The table seen in the first photo is also custom built with LED lighting, built in LED switches for various power, built in LCD monitor which displays my build videos, and a custom built glass case. I have many more photos available on my flickr page for anyone who may be interested.

Great job on the paint job and extras in the hold. This thread will most likely be transferred into the Studio Scale Models/Commercial Kit Builds forum.

Nice stuff Chris. I've seen your videos etc. I'm almost finished mine. It's certainly an epic journey ! But will worth it.

Super clean! Very nice work! So often do I see these get over done with the lighting work in the hold. Your's is perfect!

I have chosen not to install the interior on mine, but seeing this makes me wish I had.

I really like your work and your YouTube videos! I somehow stumbled upon your falcon build and was impressed by your passion and creativity!

Just recently added a mirror top to my display case for my DeAgo Falcon. I also have my X-Wing, Y-Wing and Tie Fighter in the case as well with it. Just a little shot.

The mirrored base certainly shows off your Falcons exterior in all it’s brilliant glory Chris, though I still like the original gloss Black one too.
I started following your build via the blog (?) you had in 2016, and aspects from that have certainly inspired parts of my own build - in particular the electronic work.
Also a fan of your ongoing YouTube videos.
Thank you for sharing

Thanks. That's what I hope to accomplish with the videos. Give people ideas, inspire them to try to additions to their own builds.

Amazing! Im seriously considering starting this build. Any tips? How many mods did you have to make to get it to look this good?

Certainly did a lot of mods. Other than some photo etch for the flooring in the hold and corridors, most all of the interior mods were done by me with styrene. Now, it's easy to get 3D printed parts. I was an early adopter of the Falcon, and much of that stuff didn't come out till I was almost finished. You can check out my Falcon build blog or YouTube channel to see the additions I did.
