Fine Molds Millenium Falcon

[Watson]

Just getting started. I love this ship and am really enjoying building it so far. It is a work of art.

I bought mine back when the model first came out, and it's still sitting in the shipping box it came in back in the bedroom closet. I've opened it and looked at the parts, but that's as far as I got. :lol I need to at least start gluing parts on, but I need to find a list of paints I need, and get as many pics as I can collect of all the assorted scars and damage that need to be added to it to make it look like the movie version.

Good luck on the kit!

There is a really fun 6 part build up of this kit from a Japanese TV model show called Plamo. If you do a YouTube search for Millenium Falcon Plamo you will find it. It is in japanese, but fun to watch if you have an hour.

You could almost buy your own [studio scale] ship for that.

I would really like to start building mine as soon as I can light the cockpit the way I want.

I think that thing costs more than what you can get a MR SS Falcon for, these days.

Yeah,

WTF are they thinking????

And why would you buy that one would you could buy a kit and pay someone to put it together for you for far far less, and probably look better!


Maybe there is gold in FM Falcon build ups put on ebay soon.

Sweet! Where is the best place ($) to get one of these ships? Been years since I worked on models, but this would be a fun one to get started back in on.
