Scratch Built Steel Millennium Falcon

[WorksByaHurst]

Totally crazy even attempting something like this in metal. Hard enough with plastic.
I figure if its a model, no matter the material used, it fits. We've had some guys do paper models that were as good as the real deals.
All depends on a persons talent.

Thank you sir. My shop is setup for metal so I'm just using what I know.

Sculpting in metal is no different than “sculpting” in plastic. Please share away, I think people will love seeing you work.

Thank you , will do. I will get slave 1 up this evening.

Within the General Modeling Forum, absolutely YES...!

The Studio Scale Forum seems to demand more accuracy. But General Modeling embraces all mediums...

Understood. My slave 1 is studio scale size and I try and get as accurate as possible within reason but I am never 100% correct on anything i make so i should stay in the general modeling.

im new here but this forum is awesome. cool build man

Thank you

Nice build...I personally preferred it before you painted it.

I understand but the customer requested a paint job

The. Coolest. Thing. I've. Ever. Seen. On. RPF.

We're not worthy.

Where did you get (or how did you make) that round base piece? It's fantastic! I was thinking of something similar for my PG Falcon.

That's a work of beauty!

Well...SNAP:eek That's a first metal MF on the RPF :cool Great work for sure...I would've left it metal, but that's just me.

Thank you sir. The base is a piece off of a large diesel engine. I believe it's part of the exhaust system. From a scrap bin.

That's a work of beauty!

Much appreciated sir

Thank you. Believe it or not, making the bare metal look presentable is tougher than a good paint job. The paint hides a lot of crimes.

That is incredible.

I saw this on Instagram a week or so ago and I love it. Didn't you do a Slave One, as well?

 

[Alcadude]

That is really cool! Never seen one like it before

Thank you

Yes please. Are they roughly in scale with this Falcon build?

Just out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of the Millennium Falcon sculpture?

The slave one sculptures are very close to studio scale. I have worked very hard to achieve those dimensions. Millennium falcon is 24in long and right over 18in wide.

OP, great work and what an awesome medium. Not the easiest by far.

This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I would have preferred to leave it unpainted to show the hard work - but commission is commission.
Pease, show us more in the future!

Absolutely beautiful, I would have definitely left it metal finish if it was mine.

I understood. Also paint hides a lot of crimes.

That's awesome! I kinda like the raw steel look- but the paint job is a beauty
