Hey. This is AMAZING!!!! I blown away by the amount of things you've put into your Falcon. I do like to put lights in , fibre optics. But when you put sound effects & mini servos & a REMOTE. This takes the cake!!!! Makes me want to pull my MR Falcon apart & redo it. Keep up the great work!!!

I mentioned this on your youtube video... have you considered using an e-cig vaporizer to get your "shut it down!" venting working? I would think the parts would be small and perfect for your project... here is an example of an e-cig vaporizer used in a proton pack prop...Thanks guys! I'm just a padawn but I'm very pleased with it so far. I am going to try and add some venting underneath like when it landed at Cloud City and on top where the sparks are when Han yells "shut it down!" Have all the parts ordered to test out a propel can or CO2 system. 12Vdc solenoid valve, regulator, fittings, hose, ect. Will be posting some more soon. How about an inside photo for now?

Incredible work!
My favorite part is the boarding ramp, followed very closely by the anti-personnel gun. Just awesome!
Keep the updates coming! Any plans on a tutorial?

I cant believe the responses I'm receiving on this, I'm quite honored, Thank you very much. I had to order another kit because someone bought this one and its not even done yet! Looks like the interactive/animated X-wing factory "INCOM" is going to have to wait.

Thanks for the idea Naokigraphics, I will look into it as an option for the venting. Im also looking into what it will take to make it "fly" well at least on the end of a clear acrylic arm.

Instantly subscribed, then watched the video, then posted the jaw drop above. Now I've actually READ your posts. While watching the video I was thinking it would be awesome if, during the takeoff sequence, the ship raised an inch or so and the landing gear retracted. The model could be attached to a clear plexi tube or some other "invisible" armature that could raise/lower into the base.
Again... Amazing work. You sir are no "Padawan", you are JEDI!!!
Amazing...

Landing gear done, just missing a couple LED's that will be here next week. I had forgot to order enough for all five gear wells. Going to be painting and weathering this weekend. I tried the compressed gas venting and not too pleased with it. Ill save the venting and "flying" for the MKII which will be started as soon as this is finished.

I have been getting a lot of requests for a tutorial or for help with electronics and such. I would love to help but right now I just can't, I have no spare time. I work a full time job and have family that needs attention. I have to get this done and to the guy that bought it. Then its right on to the next one that's arriving from Japan next week. If they keep selling, I'm going to keep building
