Hi Everyone,
Now is the time to start my thread about my 5Foot Falcon Build. My journey started in January this year when I spotted a project run on this website and decided to pull the trigger on the build of a replica of this awesome filming model.
Firstly, I have to thank both Studio Kitbash and Eagle1 for their continued help, encouragement and advise as well as all of the other members who contributed to the parts maps and dimensional studies.
I can honestly say that I would not have attempted this model without the help of this fantastic community.
Following the news that my quarter domes were in production in September by Eagle1 I quickly commissioned some cnc core parts in birch plywood.
I received the core parts and quickly built an armature and assembled a structure to support the domes that I received on October 4th.
After assembling almost all of my core and after a couple of messages between myself and Eagle1 it was pointed out that my core sidewall height looked a little tall. I then realised that I was using older(out of date) information and I had to dismantle the core in order to save some of the parts.
A telephone call and a day or so later I picked up my replacement internal core parts and re-commenced construction. I have to thank Patrick at Northern CNC in the UK for a very speedy service and for his enthusiasm for my project.
For anyone in the Uk I would recommend him for any CNC wood or plastic parts.
