It's just what I ordered.

Wow, that's nice. Which set did you use, and what was your process?
Thanks! This is what I used to make the mold:

You just mix with a 1:1 ratio and that's it. I used a sturdy cardboard box, hot glued the pieces to the bottom, and poured the stuff over the pieces. Next time I'd like to make a double mold so I can do a whole cast of a piece.
This is the resin I used:

After I cut out the pieces from my molds, I mixed that stuff together in a 1:1 ratio and poured it in. The mold cures in about 6 hours, but the resin takes more than a day to cure all the way.

It occurs to me that this could be very useful for remolding the small 1:144 Bandai cockpit canopies. The A-Wing, particularly.

The clear parts are handy if you plan to light it since there are several lit panels in the lounge and the cockpit.
Hello all
Great thread so far...
What I just realized...the Lando Falcon has the 5 point landing gear that so far we only know from ESB onwards. Looks like Disney did not pay attention to details here. I wonder if Bandai might come up with a ANH Falcon in 144 in the future...would be nice for sure. Right now I can not afford the 1/72 scale one... :-(
cheers

That issue was covered in the movie.

I just finished building mine, and shot some comparisons with my (non-canonical) TFA-ish Falcon build:

I spent some time yesterday making the head rests for the rear cockpit seats and started painting the cockpit.
Tamiya Deck Tan (XF-55) looks to be a close color for the front seats based on this image.

Really terrific job! Did you paint the blue or is that the decals? I'm also guessing you used a brown panel accent ink? I'm just starting to fiddle with the engine lighting on mine, but I hope mine turns out as good as yours.
