Faucon Millenium Finemolds 1/72

[DJSLY]

Hi to all,

This is the last kit that I just started, the Millennium Falcon 1/72 Finemolds.

Here are the steps in photos.

I have realizing inside the reactors in translucent resin for better dissemination of LightUp.

Original parts

The resin molding

Lightup of the cockpit with photoetched paragrafix

Inserting magnets in the verrieres cockpit and turrets. They are interchangeable

The gun turret is magnetized to be able to handle the change verriere

The grid is cutted behind the cockpit and replace the grid of photoetched and give depth, the hole is filled with leftover photoetched

The LightUp turrets, the inside of the turrets was modified with evergreen

Brilliant idea with the magnets....it's a tough decision....with or without glass.....now you can change when it suits you

Nice build BTW

Thank's Jaitea, tek


I made some changes to the propellant for the LightUp, I've cut the solid portion of the propellant and I replaced with transparent styrene.

I stuck my resin moldings it and I painted the entourage with a blue / green GAIANOTES.

Parts made transparent resins are painted with a mix of blue + green tamiya clear.

For LightUp I used tape del.

For the photoetch I used the paragraphix kit.

I used the stock finemolds engine parts and dremmeled out the parts, gave an awesom effect without the need to recast in clear. The led gives a proper engine effect, i painted the actual engine parts in humbrol metalized gunmetal, and rubbed them to a metallic sheen before the final grill went over the lot

 

[DJSLY]

who45 your engine result is good i like it.

I've started the paintjob, here are the photos, before there will have been a primer layer + a gray xf54 for aging + matte black passage structure in line + a new layer of gray xf54 + 2 coats of lacquer + hobby mr gray layer 338 plus a 2 nd to come (I have not had time to do photos of all these steps).

The weathering with the lacquer technic.

Hi DJSLY!

AMAZING BUILD!! Im doing the same with the Hasbro MF. What color is your top paint? I'm confused between using Flat Off-White and Sandy Biege?
Your pictures are showing both but could be just the surrounding light.

 

[DJSLY]

Thanks JPCOdessa70

I used the H338 light gray Mr Hobby.

Differences in color on my pictures must come from the flash of the camera .
