Ralph McQuarrie Millennium Falcon

Awesome!

...I spent a few nights making a docking ring over & over, eventually I was happy with the details on it, last night I realised I'd made it too small...

Measure twice, cut once.

Jaitea - this is one build which always brings a smile to my face, seeing that Falcon sketch slowly turning into a real, solid model that will eventually fly out of Ralph McQuarrie's drawing board. Thanks for building this!

This build is all kinds of awesome. Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks Angel, The testing part will be the underside

Thanks Borz666

The docking ring(s) at the minute

The darker grey ring under the outer whiter one was the original outer diameter.

Some photos.....I bought some lights

Thats me for now, still the mandible panelling to work out, then onto the cockpit

Thanks for looking

The kit bashing is particularly excellent!

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks Borz666, the parts aren't too obvious?

On with the work, pressure is on......halfway through April!!

Been working on the mandible details:

Then switched to scratching the Cockpit:

The cockpit taped on:

Going to have to get a move on, really want to get this done to get back to the MPC Falcon

Thanks very much for looking

Personal opinion--not at all. In fact, this more "subtle" version looks like it could be what the Falcon looked like when Han won it from Lando, and that the "busier" version in the movies is several years later after Han and Chewie worked on it to make repairs, improve it's performance, or simply keep it flying.

If I had your skills and patience I'd try to duplicate what you've done here; very effective!
