I'd have thought that the Fine Molds Falcon was way too small to get any real good shots of, there are people out there building Studio Scale Replicas of the Star Wars vehicles that are far more accurate than the Fine Molds model in terms of the surface detail etc... Is it not worth asking on Replica Prop forums for a UK based modeller who might already have a bigger version built that you could use, I know there's the transport depending on how far away etc... but it might be worth a try !

The Fine Molds Falcon has an insane amount of detail on it! Check out the "tutorial" on youtube:

The base top and bottom are blank slates and all the little details need to be applied individually. The model itself is about half the size of the shooting model. Even though there are tons of details on the thing, flybys and in-motion shots won't matter too much. Static shots may or may not be an issue depending on how close the camera is to the model itself.

I suppose if Ady could find a collector who owns the Master Replicas Falcon locally he may be able to arrange a day or two of shooting at the owner's house. But, that thing is huge and not really an option to ship anywhere. Plus, at 1800 USD, I don't suppose a lot of people own it. 200 USD for a build it yourself model is a little more cost effective. And if you enjoy that sort of thing, building the model will make it all the more rewarding in the end!

I don't know much about scratch built models, so I don't know where to look into that. But, you never know who's got something like that out there....
