yes, another Hasbro Hero Millenium Falcon conversion.

[Mr Greebly]

Hi all,

i wanted to show my progress on my Hasbro hero millennium falcon conversion. i haven't done any modelling for about 10 years now, and I'm mainly looking for advice, critisism and ideas here. so here's my progress so far.



rear upper deck maintenance wells removed, engine fans removed.





port side? maintenance well rebuilt. and test fitted.

thanks for looking.

Looks good and seeing you are scratch building and adding additional greebly parts . . . I sincerely doubt now if you are looking for upgrade parts made by Randy Cooper :

Hey, Thank you sym.
Actually, out of all the upgrades I've seen for the hasbro hero falcon, randys are my fav! I'm still very tempted to purchase a set.

Does anyone know if one could buy just the PE part of that upgrade? I'm less interested in the resin stuff....

Dude, that's some amazing work! Are you using a heat gun to get the bends in the plastic piping? Or would you care to share a tip or two? I'm planning to do a scratch built 1/48 Falcon and would love to emulate some of the work you're doing.

Thanks,
Kris

Cool work, Mr. G. Wonderful level of complexity & certainly an improvement on the original bits.
But, just to clarify, isn't that the port (left side when facing forward) well? I forgot which until I realized port (shorter word) = left (shorter) & starboard (longer)= right (longer).

Keep up your progress, hope I can join in before too long - I have ideas for a 'hyperspace bubble generator array' for the saucer edges for my re-imagining... ;^)

Regards, Robert

im sure if you email randy he'll kindly just sell you the PE parts.

 

[Mr Greebly]

Thank you Korben44,
the white piping is plastic coated wire, i picked it up on a plastruct stand in a model shop. and to bend it, i just used pliers

Hi Rbeach84 and thank you.
you are probably correct my freind. ive always been confused by the two! lol. and i look forward to seeing your progress.

my progress has been a little slower than i would like, due to work being extremly busy at the moment. but im pleased with how the wells are turning out.

 

[Mr Greebly]

i managed to update the upper left (port) rear maintenance well tonight.




here it is dry fitted



also, i think i might use these two pieces for the inner wall of the mandibles.



they'll need a little tweaking of course, but straight out of the box, they aren't a bad fit .

 

[Sergiotron]

Your attention to detail is amazing. Keep it up!

Say, what are those parts from ( the chassis pieces in dark gray?)
