Most definitely! Any slight increase in pressure will definitely cause damage if you're not careful. I'm definitely looking forward to getting this diorama done... And thanks for the support!
 
Working on the base... Gonna add a lot more greeblies to it... And did a mock up of the Falcon with lighting...

Wow just wow. I can't believe I just found out about this post. Great job!! I picked up a 350 Falcon a few weeks ago ( I got th ANH version) and was wondering how to display it. Also I wasn't sure if I would bother lighting it do to the small size but this thread has given me .....a new hope.
 
Yeah dude!! That's the spirit!!! :thumbsup

Interesting concept for your display box, raising it up high. Is that purchased from somewhere?

I bought it from a local chain craft store... It was a picture display box that rotates. Got it for about $6 US. Still working on a better switch.

Much appreciated!
 
This is so cool. Crazy scale. The cockpit is just unbelievable. I was never into small scales but this might change seeing this.

Looking forward to see this project progress.
 
I just got the shapeways parts in. Wanted to ask how you handled painting the cockpit without filling in the light holes. You also seem to have colored them. Would love to get your technique on that as well.

All I did was paint the front part and put a few coats of super glue on the back to fill the holes. I have some micro fine tip pens I used to add color so the light shines through with the colors I wanted.

You can also dab dots of clear paint (eg: Tamiya red, yellow, clear, blue) onto the holes. You just have to make sure your light-blocking black layer doesn't fill in the holes at all.
