Replace 'Are' with 'Were' and 'still' with 'ever'...

Here's one that I'm working on at the minute for a competition.....less than a week left, I posted before on another thread,....I'm making The Millennium Falcon but as Ralph McQuarrie designed her:

You can see my thread here:

Yes I'd love to recreate the hanger shot Ryan, & maybe a Ps image of it from above with the stormies around it......hmmm

I have a bit of a thing about the Millennium Falcon.....I've got a few Falcon projects going on at the minute......the main one is the MPC/Ertl kit....I took a break from that kit in March to work on the Revell RMQ Falcon (Scale Model Addict Big Spring Contest, which ran for 3 months...was supposed to finish on Friday night but has been extended by a week)

I have been working on the MPC/Ertl kit since Feb 2012, it is based on the 5 foot filming model from Star Wars (ANH)

Heres roughly where I was when I took a break:

The thread here:

A couple of videos of it:

Vid 1

Vid 2 Engine Lights

I've also got the FineMolds 1/72 which I've hacked off the Mandibles to correct a flaw in FineMolds measurements....

The mandibles now have a slight toe-in

Another wee project is with another Revel easy kit

Sort of mashing the Falcon design with Star Destroyer/AOTC Jedi Starfighter:

.......enough of this Falcon fetish

Just a personal preference, but that Falcon/destroyer hybrid thing is a big no no. Other than that, hats off.

Thanks guys,

Ryan....yep thats the Stap, I got that model cheap in a sale, had no intention to build the kit with the Droid on it, perhaps scratching a rifle like you said you'd done, but its still in a box somewhere......the Stap on the other hand was the part that I thought I'd throw out, but I've managed to salvage the majority of it for other projects, it has been more useful.

Hey, it's me....The Star Destroyer/Falcon has been shelved for a while, my tastes & experience have changed. I do have other ideas for this ship.....but it still will be pointy, maybe with a central cockpit, like the Star Destroyer......hmmm

Nice work so far TK-949, and I hit the 'like' button

I will admit its an interesting idea, and the central cockpit would be cool. Love the idea of the four port propulsion. 

Ah model making. The #1 hobby I don't have that I sometimes think "maybe...."

What paint is recommended for an AT-AT?
