MPC Millennium Falcon with HH Miniatures upgrade kit finally done

[Buckey Goldstar]

Been a while since I worked on this one. I originally planned on scrapping the whole project - and kinda did. If any of you recall I repurposed the the HH Miniatures upgrade kit to to fit the Revell Easy kit.....I really didn't like it the more I looked at it. Finally got a hold of another MPC kit for a "Logical" price on ebay - and salvaged the upgrade kit parts (best I could) and finished the job. The Aft engine exhaust area was done with custom graphics I made in DAZ Studio then printed out at highest settings and then glues to the clear plastic. The 3d printed radar Dish assembly, Cockpit Canopy and laser cannons became brittle and broken beyond repair (to me anyway). So, I used the stock parts. The Rader dish looks kinda strange with lower side walls due to it's over-sized proportions, oh well. Enjoy and let me know what you think. And know, as of this time I do NOT plan on shelling out the dough for the Bandai "Perfect Grade".....although I came close after everything I originally purchased to do this project.

Very nice build, gives me some inspiration to progress mine already ...
Where did you get the figures from?

Thanks for the feedback, The Han and Chewbacca figures are Hasbro/Micro Machines figures - The Luke and Ben are left-overs from my Fine Molds Falcon Build, I used C-3PO and Lea for that one.

Nice job

I would not have recognized that as the old MPC

Man, thanks, as much as a piece of junk plastic that the MPC kit is....to say this build was unrecognizable as the MPC kit........I'll definitely take that as a real compliment!
