MR Falcon total repaint

[Gunpowder]

Thanks
Heres some tests with the new cockpit rear wall. Heres the standard one

Heres my own one. This doesnt have the fibre optics in yet. I like the look of it. I still have more panels to add and more holes to drill :wacko

Heres the basic view. The ends of the fibres will be painted different colours.

Getting better & better by the day, great work. What did you use for the rust colour, was it acrylic or chalk? Looks excellent.

Lovin' that cockpit back panel!

I've been watching this thread. I could never do that to mine so man I think you're nuts!

Looks awesome though!!

I absolutely LOVE what you've done to the cockpit! I'd like to do that to my FM Falcon cockpit. Fibre optic all the small lights but don't know how I would do those light bars that follow along the back.


Keep up the great work!:thumbsup

Amazing work, Gunpowder. I thought you were insane when I saw your all-white Falcon, but seeing the progress has been spectacular.

Great job.

Well its taken all day. I started at 7am and i have just cleaned out the airbrush and taken the photos. Its been fun but very hard work. I now have a Falcon that i am 100% happy with and thats all that matters to me. I just need to do the cockpit and its totally finished.
Heres the underside

Heres the rest.

I will take some better photos at a later date maybe against a blue background. My camera is a bit naff. As you all know its very hard to photograph these models without washing out the colours. Heres all of the sidewalls. I tried to stay as close as possible to the ILM photos. The rust isnt as orange as it looks in the photos!

 

[Gunpowder]

Heres a before and after. Before at the top.

Nice work, you're very talented:eek

With these new pictures it just makes me think this is probably the best Falcon I have yet to see..I'm very impressed. Great dedication to a project many would not tackle in the first place. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Very nicely done Gunpowder and an inspiration to others such as myself who want to eventually repaint their Falcons. You should be proud of the work you have done.:thumbsup

 

[Gunpowder]

Thanks Guys. Its really good to know that other people are thinking of making their own Falcons that little bit more personal.

Fantastic job there!

I'd need WAY more airbrushing experience before I'd even attempt something like this....

Really outstanding, I cant believe it will be another month before I can start mine, but what inspiration you have given me. It would be great to see more pics in daylight, simply stunning.
