Not your average 1/72 Fine Molds Millennium Falcon build

Are you going to be selling the clear engine nozzels? I've been looking for someone who sells these, but you're the only one I've seen that even has them.

I can make you a set. PM me. I can make clear, transparent white, transparent brown. They are very clean and even have the slight radius on the back like the originals.

Have had a few requests for engine nozzles so made some up. Clear, Trans white, and trans brown. In my opinion, the trans white diffuse the light the best. Then I just spray with a bit of Tamiya smoke to give them a nice appearance when the lights are off even though they are difficult to see through the grill. Here are some photos.


Clear, trans white, trans brown.

Closer view

Clear with 5mm clear blue led 1" away.

Trans white with 5mm clear blue led 1" away.

Trans brown with 5mm clear blue led 1" away.

The clear and trans brown should have some diffuser material between the led and nozzle for best effect. Maybe some cotton or scuffed up clear plastic. For best effect I use 1 led per nozzle centered about 1" away so the light spreads out to fill the whole nozzle. 13 nozzles and 13 led's. I will be doing another Falcon here shortly and will post pics of the light box as I build it.

That's it, I quit.

Just amazing.

Still debating which "color" to go with on the engine nozzles... Leaning towards the Translucent White, but tomorrow I'll change my mind again. ;P

Luckily, as far as "problems" go, this is a good one to have.
