This is a very cool build. Well done Jaitea! Can't wait to see paint on her.

My Elegoo Mars arrived a few days ago, spooky.

This is looking great! Awesome work!

Getting somewhere...really just the top & bottom docking corridors to detail before painting....

Thank you for looking

She’s looking fantastic mate !
I’m not familiar with any of the alternative Falcon designs John, but are those turret barrel lengths being true to form ?
Only asking cause (please remember my complete ignorance in this) , they seem ‘slight and unwieldy’ compared to the rest of the craft.

Cheers Ged

Thanks Ged....the cannons are casts from the ones that Stinson sent me for the Ralph McQuarrie Falcon....

Don't know,...I'll maybe have a look at it,...beef them up

That is looking fantastic! Looking forward to seeing it painted up.

So I’ve done a couple of prints on my new Elegoo Mars for this Falcon....I’ve been collecting.stl files of tanks, cars, rockets etc...& from the Y-Wing group build by DaveG in the Studio Scale section

So I thought the engines needed something to finish them off...I was going to print & recast the rest...but I think I’ll just reprint the remaining 8 tonight

Thanks for looking

More tomorrow

John

Man, printing opens up a whole new world with modeling! Can't wait to see the rest!

We’ve let the genie ( Jaitea + 3D-printer) out of the bottle now , and I can’t wait to see what delights will ensue !

New tool in the toolbox!!! I started an Elegoo Mars tip thread, John. I'm anxious to hear your advice on jumping in to the 3D world.

Pew - This looks so stunning! Looking forward to seeing it finished.

WOW..! Looks amazing I wish I had the skill to make stuff like this.

Jaitea · May 13, 2020

Wow,...thanks very much for the encouragement fellas,....been juggling a few things in the past few days....sorting out my reference library,...searching for more 3D kit parts....printing & working on this shop & the RMQ concept Falcon....also making a 3D printed cockpit interior for my DeAgo, to accommodate lights...anyway...
Some more work done on the back end...engine nozzles are 3d printed as well as some new greeblies around the ship....more panelling to do in the docking walkways...then paint

Thanks for looking

Very professional looking. If someone showed me this pic without knowing where it came from and said it as an ILM concept model I wouldn't think twice about believing it

Jaitea · May 22, 2020

Almost ready for paint,...just a bit of panelling around the docking rings....can’t wait to get the airbrush out & lay down some Archive X Reefer White
