love all the greebles from the real model, like that (albiet shrunk down) Mclaren bit below the dish. You could almost do an actual parts map for this cg model.

Last night was the film's premiere and judging by the Twitter responses the film is the fun palette cleanser many fans wanted after TLJ. Cast seems to be a big highlight, including Alden as Han (which is a relief). I'm seriously excited now! All I want is a great time for 2 hours and some cool Falcon action. Looks like we're getting it!

Anyone figure out or have confirmation on what the base color is on this Falcon?
The toys and scale Models show a white , but the CG model turns floating around the internet make it look like the same Reefer White as the old Falcon.

I'd bet a donut it's the digital equivalent to reefer white.

IIRC there were a lot of gushing celebrity tweets after TJL premiere, too, BUT...I remain cautiously optimistic. Still worried about Alden's performance.....

True, but keep in mind we're in a post-TLJ world. People know that TLJ was divisive and several people referenced how they were pleasantly surprised or went into Solo with low expectations. So, their comments actually make me feel better. Had the film been another TLJ disappointment, I don't think people would've held back unloading on it. With TLJ, I think people (including professional reviewers) were reluctant to criticize Carrie Fisher's last film. Solo doesn't carry that baggage.
If this crew likes the movie, then I'll know it's actually good. :thumbsup

Ill wait till the film comes out.
TLJ also got a lot of cirtic and media buzz and that turned out to be garbage.

Totally agree. But Lawrence Kasdan and Ron Howard are not Rian Johnson. I don't think anyone went into this movie with a plan to "subvert expectations." I don't begrudge anyone being gun shy at this point, but I'm very confident we're in for something at least closer to Rogue One.

Kasdan is the only reason I havent written this off when I heard about it.

Computer model paint jobs are based in RGB values, not paint colors really, but I don't think you could go wrong with Reefer White. I think that would work just about perfectly.

Yeah, im just wondering whats the acrylic equivalent to that RGB color.
Reefer seems a bit too warm.
Might even fo with Insignia White.

The model builder that built the pre-vis model for LFL painted his with Archive X Reefer White

What breaks my heart about that model is that they used the Fine Molds kit as the base. So that means the kit's glaring inaccuracies -- the parallel mandibles, the too tall jaw boxes, the too flat hull curvature -- are now baked into the design. It's sad that poorly proportioned kits like the AMT and the FM end up misinforming the next generation of designers working on the films. Hopefully, when they got around to making the digital asset they used the 5-footer proportions from the TFA/TLJ digital Falcon as the base.
