Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Awe-some Sauce!! Score! :thumbsup I admit I ponied up the 400 bucks here in AZ, but...I had taken a load of stuff to my local hobby shop that I had in the closet for years that I knew I'd never build, and the guy put them on sort of a consignment type deal. He took a cut of course, but it ended up I had like 300 or so in credit from stuff he'd sold...the MPC Falcon kits that I gave like 25 to 35 each for were a big hit at 50 buck a copy. As well as a lot of 1/72 amour and aircraft he has yet to sell. Sorry, I babbled on, anyway I gave him a 100 bucks and I was on my way. I'm happy

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Well- everything is finished so far, instead of the cockpit. I currently brake my fingers in doing some semi-professional lightning before I let come together both hulls and the sidewalls.
Then there are a lot of things to do still: fans, wires, the LAB-PART and so on. I made some airbrush-tests (Tamiya acrylics on the lower hull which satisfy me and I will take it as my base for weathering with different media, mainly oil colours, as I have the most experience with it. I try to upload some WIP pics when I get used to create an Album and find time ...

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I emailed Tony about that actually, he's working on it. I had some of his MPC gear boxes, the nicer ones, and I laid them out on the PG hull, they're almost perfect for it. So I'm pretty sure he's tweeking those a little for the PG. When I hear something from him I'll post it.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I'm 100% interested.
I'm going to buy another PG kit this weekend.
Since my fist one is an "in flight" display, I should be able to use the extra gear for an ESB version.
Keep us posted!

Will do :thumbsup I try not to pester Tony too much or too often. He's got a gaggle of us asking him for stuff non stop it seems, at least that's what he eluded to anyway. However the man is always enthusiastic about it. Tony is an awesome guy and we're fortunate to have him, top shelf designer that one :thumbsup

Preach, brother! But having them there is so worth it. They're like sprinkles on a cupcake.
Hmmmm... falcon cupcakes...

Using reference pics.
The closeup photos in the Chronicles : vehicles book is an amazing asset.
