Almost at the finish line.

Stunning work! I have a few months before I can start mine (birthday present in storage). You all are inspirational in your builds. Thanks for all the WIP and completed pics[emoji106]

While having a closer look to the photographs shared by DS some pages before, did you noticed that?

Keep looking. There are more.
Made some progress this weekend. Worked on the cockpit tube, cone, and interior. The tube is a little more contrasty than I'd like, so I'll probably dust that down once I get the rest of the ship painted.

The cockpit cone has been a pain in my rump. Getting the scratches right is a chore. When I'm painting them, it all seems so tiny and then I take a photo and compare it to the reference shots and I'm not as subtle as I'd like. I'll leave it for now and may come back to it later. And yeah, my grays bend more toward blue. I think that's partly due to the Badger grime I'm using. It is what it is.

Also started work on the bottom hull. It's really easy to overdue the hull damage. Still need to add a ton of painted rectangles and squares.

Thanks for looking!
Awesome! image 5 of the cockpit cone if VERY impressive. I was just looking on-line to see if that Japanese reference book was available anywhere else, possibly a bit less spendy. 150 is the best I saw but after the cheapest shipping it's still 192 when said and done. And then I thought...who need that book when we have your work to go by! thumbsup
I have a question, and please don’t bite my head off... but were the bits and bobs of the little black dashes and things added for Empire? Are the chronicle pics all of the empire Falcon??

Those tiny rectangles and squares were original to ANH. Aside from the added gear boxes and lighting effects added to the lower hull, the ILM guys mostly left the original paint job alone. There are some very minor greeblies added in places, but the dashes were always there.

Very kind, sir! I look at it and only see the flaws, so I appreciate the feedback. :cheers
