Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Sorry, ive seen some of the ILM models in person and have excellent photos from several sources in good lighting. i dont see panel lines on them.
There might be some areas that may have it but its not a key element among the line of ships.
Its one thing to say you want to take artistic license and to create your ships with panel lines.
Its another to say that the original ships had them when they didnt.

But, I see dark panels. Im seeing them, and I see them in other models from ILM too. You know why, I think, the panels kind of wash out on the screen? I think is do to the incredible harsh lights they use during filming. On the screen they are not that prominent BUT, they where enhanced with the process of detailing and weathering. I want the most realistic model possible, I imagine the battles they would have endure in the SW Universe, not only what I see in the few seconds of screen appearance. I want to CREATE not to IMITATE. I could imitate the look but I would become VERY, VERY bored in the process of doing it. The two remaining AT-ATs in my diorama would have battle damage. Damage not seen in the movies (blasphemy according to the ILM worshippers, LOL!).
I dont care how you build them, and I admire the final look of some of these. But I draw the line when someone starts to throw around all this crap about how terrible, etc, etc. I could find another examples where the same attitude has been exposed but dont see the need. I think a lot here know what I am talking about. Its disrespectful, plain and simple. And I felt I needed to say something about it.
