Hey guys! This is actually my first post here on the RPF, so take it a little easy on me! Just wanna show off my super awesome model of the Millennium Falcon from The Force Awakens! I put some seriously, SERIOUSLY, painstaking attention to detail on this thing and recreated just about every streak and stain on the hull of the Falcon based on the actual CGI model, with some added touches from the original 5 foot model. I don't wanna say any more stuff; just wanna show off my pride and joy already, so I hope you guys enjoy my first legit post here! Lots and lots of pictures ahead!

Great work!! Love your falcon. Especially your attention to details is amazing.
I found 5 foot studio falcon has so many tiny decals used all over and it is not easy to do the same on a small bandai falcon. Still your work is really impressive.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! If only I could just plaster on some more random decals onto this thing to make it look even nicer, haha!
 
So I've decided to paint the inside of the cockpit canopy beams to make them look thinner and more movie-accurate.

The most recent update as of 4/23. I've weathered the top a little more, but the underside definitely needs some attention for that screen-accurate look.

I don't really know if anyone still reads my thread. It's been over a year since I last posted something, but I decided to make some changes.

Painted the turret walls a light gray color.

Decided to add even more details all over the hull.

Would really appreciate if anyone could take the time to leave some comments or criticisms. I'm sorry that it's been more than a year.

It's been another long while since I last posted, but I've added a few more changes to the model since.

It might not be noticable, but all of the light gray panels are now all the same color.

Also added a few more miscellaneous markings throughout the ship.

Might post pictures of details of the underside soon, so stay tuned for that.

Any comments or critiques are always welcome.
