Ady, seeing the pics of the Falcon got me wondering about the Fine Molds Falcon you got. Have you begun assembly of it yet? I'd love to see some pics of it when it's completed.
No, the falcon will be one of the last models built because it will used more times than the other models/miniatures. All the other miniatures can be dismantled after they have been filmed as i won't need them for ROTJ:R so i can recover space, but the Falcon needs more work done and the Hangar set will be one of the most detailed, so i'm leaving that until last.

I asked if it was possible to get one still a week. I dunno how that was so huge. I'm just dying to see the cloud city mattes they we've yet to see.
I wish I had a couple thousand bucks to donate.
the thing is, if i posted 30 screenshots then that is a large chunk. I have to find 30 separate shots that are different enough to be worth showing. After what i have shown already that doesn't leave much and there are things i don't want to show until it's released. If i showed a snapshot of say Han's mouth movement fix then you wouldn't even see what's been fixed, so that would mean that i have to post screenshots of more of the FX work and i don't want to do that.
I will be posting a clip, however, on May 21st for the 30th anniversary of ESB

Hi Adywan, been following your progress for a few years now, and been checking in on the forum, but i lost my password etc long ago under the username vader1138. Anyways, just rejoined as i have an offer/question etc for you.
I'm an artist/sculptor and LOVE your ANH-revisited. (would love to know if you ever plan to release a 720p mkv of that by the way)
Anyways, theres a shot that i would have liked to have seen in Empire, after at at captain says "Lord Vader, you may start your landing" we never see Vaders ship land on Hoth. Now, in the prequels, which have their flaws, i love the hardware in them, especially the gunships. So, i was considering scratch building an Imperial gunship of my own design. If you would be interested in including a shot of it lanfing on Hoth, wit vader anf a few troops standing in its doorway, i could film it against a bluescreen and send you the footage to play around with.
I would be making it in scale for the 5inch action figures, and animate it stop motion as a very quick shot.
Reason i was wanting to see a new ship in the battle is we would have normally seen vader shuttle, which is done to death, and seeing a new ship coulda been cool. Anyways, havnt built it yet, so let me know what you think?
On another topic, heard you on you-tube radio station thing, great to hear your a fellow Brummy. I'm originally from Walsall but not anymore. Great to hear you used cut-outs for tie-fighters in aftereffects too. LOVED that scene. I made film (crappy film) using similar tachniques as that. Its on you-tube also,
search... ESCAPE FROM KIRKUK, on youtube, rubbish i know but i was experimenting with animation etc. I know how gruelling the editing process is as it took me over 2 years to complete. Anyhow, good luck with Empire-R i cant wait.
Thanks for the offer, but i don't want to add any extra scenes of ships landing/approaching. It's the same kind of thing that GL added in the ESB:SE of Vaders shuttle docking with the Executor. IT is something we never needed to see and broke the flow of the scenes.
Things are almost back to normal here now. I've just got the workstation to repair and i can get back to work on this edit full time. I'm just so gutted that they threw a section out because it really has screwed the whole thing up. It's not as if i can even go out and just buy a new section, i have to make it from scratch, and if you saw my workstation you'd understand why this is going to be such a problem. In fact i'll post some pics once its repaired and everything is back in its place so you can see what i mean. I just need to wait for payday to be able to afford to get the materials for this (because i won't touch any donations that may come in as this workstation isn't really part of the edit)
