I only just found of through Facebook that this is your main line of business, sorry about the misunderstanding. Can't say that I've seen your FM Falcon though!

Hmm, yes unfortunately the FineMolds 1/72 & 1/144 Falcon models have undersized radar dishes,.....Scratchy has correctly sized dishes for sale for both scales

Yeah I only noticed the FM radar size recently, and now I can't unsee it
I've been panelling the new styrene mandibles with 0.20 styrene but it's not enough to warrant an update yet. I've also made the underside opening ports and stuff. I'll probably work on it this week and update on monday

Back to the build then:
I made some replacements for the underhull openings
I then cut out areas for the extra gearboxes, and made the new gearbox from 1mm styrene. Still need to make another one
And this is one of the things that's been keeping me busy!
The kits will be ready soon

These three are already spoken for but I'll be producing more after this run
Fair enough. Just send me a PM when you make more and I'll be on board for sure.

Made this new cockpit from 0.2mm styrene, the template was glued onto the sheet before I cut it for extra strength, and then I soaked superglue along all the beams. I'm considering this one to be a mock up as it could be neater to be honest
The angle looks wrong due to the macro mode on my (new) camera

True fact there my friend. I've learnt a ridiculous amount on this project, my skills have improved in leaps and bounds since the beginning

I picked up a set of miniature traffic cones yesterday, sawed off the end and cleaned it up a little. The angle is different to my paper net but I think the cone is closer to the 32". Cutting out the windows on this is going to be difficult...the walls are at least 1mm thick, possibly up to 1.7mm
Might need to finally buy a dremel haha, a scalpel isn't going to be able to do this

Been lacking any motivation for this, it's essentially a full scratch build at this point bar the hull
Built up the underside jawbox, needs detailing. I'm gonna have to have this bird in flight because I've no idea how to mount a landing pad into the shallow/angled bay
Gonna try and finish the rest of the styrene construction soon, it's a lot.

Completed work on the lower jawbox, as seems to be typical of me the greebles are quite bold...unlike Jaitea's beautifully detailed work :cry
It's a shame you can't see all the panelling, it took quite a while to do haha
Off center somehow.....?? Can't work out which one is truly off center as I measured them all correctly. Oh well, too late to fix it
Found these great trays in IKEA, £1 each??? Bought 4, ideal for sorting
Messing with the super macro on my new camera hehe, artsy or what? Anyway yeah I'm getting back into the swing of this build, starting to love it again
