Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Mine's been finished for a little while now, but my local Hobbytown had a model contest yesterday afternoon so I figured I'd lug it up there and enter.
I got 2nd place!
The winner was a big 1:350 TOS U.S.S. Enterprise that had some really cool custom lighting. Trekkies, right??? LOL
I think this is the best engineered mass-produced model that I've ever worked on. I love getting to look at it every day!

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Quick question for all of the falcon pros...
In my excitement I made the mistake of forgetting to liquid mask the chipping on my greatly panels...is there a surefire way to chip after the paint has dried?

I've found that a soldering iron tip hovered over the area works well, just be very careful not to over-do it :thumbsup

That is the final area I need to weather on mine. Hope mine turns out as good as yours.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Well, Mr. CKING,
if I understand it the right way, master "stevetheswede" paint your edition oft he perfect grade falcon?
However- you should give those painting examples an own thread.
There are soooo brilliant. And in the moment they are „hidden“ inside this flood of informations and pictures.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Well, for myself...I'm more than annoyed that Disney screwed with the Falcon's appearance. I'm an ESB guy, so I get it, it's a prequel and there's no twin forward landing gear, I can live with that, BUT this BS with the forward section and the mandibles, brings to mind the words of David Lopan..."now this really piZZes me off to no end". I've got a book on these, and I don't believe Corellian Corp had any 1300's come like this one, if I'm wrong on this, I apologize. But YUCK, I don't care for it. They'd better have a good explanation of the time line of the Falcon's transition in appearance. Unless of course one of you guys already knows the story on this, please share it and straighten me out :facepalm
