OK, I got some parts from the last few issues of the DeAgo mag,.....so I'm re-doing some details on the rear deck & engine flaps
I've removed the whole engine flap & actuators from the top hull & details that I want to replace one one side,....keeping the other as placement guide:
& with some added parts:
The Starboard Mandible:
Thanks for looking

Your Falcon seems to have taken on a life of her own! I know first hand that his build can be lengthy and tedious. Your work looks great so far. I can't wait to see her in paint! What lighting are you planning? Perhaps I missed that part.

Thanks Darthflatus,....I'm looking forward to the painting myself,.....lighting......just the Engines & cockpit,.....might put running lights on her,....so no white headlights....She's going to be flying....a bit like the MR Falcon....no landing gear
Thanks ECL......I'm moving on a good bit now
This is the rear deck the last time I posted.....I'd lopped off the flaps/feathers
This is her now,...I'm using the DeAgo Actuators,...they are 10% bigger than what I need,....so I had to chop them down a bit
Theres a gap between the flaps now,....more functional....(there's three actuators thats not glued yet,....for the 3 red panels)
Thanks for looking

It’s still sitting there....I have a couple of DeAgos to do....& I’ve duplicated parts from them for use on this one....I’ll have to do an update.....spend a wee bit of time on her

Hey I got contacted by John Simmons about his HHMF that he worked on a few years ago,....he had it on display in his son's bedroom hung on the wall,....but it fell off & the 3d printed cockpit smashed,....so he offered me the model broken to fix her up again
It appeared in the Tamiya Model Magazine
It has the Randy Cooper resin set & Tony RR's Shapeways cockpit cone,....I made him a cockpit interior
I've repaired the cockpit which looked like this,....
I removed the paint, to start fixing it...the very front part was smashed beyond repair, so this is the original part from the toy...
So after some poly plasticard, filler & sanding I got her looking normal again
I'll take some better photos of her on a stand
Thanks for looking
