Chewie says the Falcon is ready for takeoff...Docking Bay 94! IT'S FINISHED! . ..after 8 1/2 months. Fun kit actually, the cockpit was the hardest part really. One slight seam to fill behind clear part. (Here's a tip--don't EVER get Tamiya putty on clear plastic--you've been warned!) All other parts fit like a dream. 0 putty used on the rest of the model. The PE engine grills and resin fans are also a challenge..IF I had it to do over..I wouldn't bother with them..the parts FM includes are identical to what is used on the 32" Studio Scale, so they are more accurate. Also...full disclosure...I wussed out and didn't paint chip or "=" sign the bottom...sue me, ... If anybody who has one of these in their closet has any other questions, PM me... I have lots more pics but here's the greatest hits...sorry if it's too many...but I'm pretty damn proud of pulling this off!!!

I didn't even ever NOTICE the lens flares in Star Trek until all the crazies on here pointed them out! I just enjoyed the hell out of the movie as a fresh take on Star Trek! -

My a** is in a seat in the theater for this 100%. In JJ I trust. kinda.... -
I would KILL for that kit,,,,

I feel your pain...I HATE freakin Yamato's stickers..but I like my Valks to have them. The darker colors are far less forgiving. I recently tried my hand at trimming every single one I put on my VF-1 Cavaliers. I used a brand new #11 Xacto blade and a LOT of patience. It was VEEERRY tedious and painful but the overall result looks awesome! And yes,,,,event the "no steps" are done this way. Practice makes perfect. I wish I could go back and redo my 21 and Gamlin 22 and several others as well.

All kinds of awesomeness goin on here!

A sad day indeed...RIP Mr. Duncan.

Thanks! I'm my own worst critic..I'm just trying to make it look as much like the 32" SS model as I can...

1:72 FM Falcon Update....weathering is NOT my strong suit...I freely admit it...the streaking process if very hard to get accurate for me...however, I did manage to print my own sheet of "="'s decals to put all over the thing! First time I had tried that. anyways..here is where I am with the top and sides almost complete..comments welcome!

I maaaaay have to pick up the newest blue and white version...those pics are suhweet
-
I know what you mean..FineMolds kit of this in 1:72 would be sweet! I am loving all the new Snap-Tite SW kits..they have good detail, PRE-painted pilots!! :D and go together great. With a little glue, paint and weathering they are nice simple kits for everyone to enjoy.

I needed a serious break from Falcon weathering so I broke out this little reissue Snap-Tite kit yesterday. This has always been one of my favorite SW ships and I never had the toy as a kid, so I'm gonna repaint and weather this up nice. This is just kind of a mock-up pic. It's not the most accurate kit in the world but it only has like 15 parts so it should be quick and fun!

Dear LORD! LOL! :o

went to Hobby Lobby last night and saw this,,,,,,$400,000+ Rolls Royce Phantom, My first thought was...OMG.it's the size of a house trailer! Seriously,,,it's like someone put a normal car in a copier and enlarged it by 15%, My second thought was....don't these "people" have lesser "people" to do their shopping for them, and lastly I thought....haven't they been told, there's an economic crisis going on in this country!
-
I think I speak for everyone here when I say I want to see the "post kitten attack" pics for that poor battlepod before the filler and paint!! Nice repaint though!
-
a 1:60 Cat's Eye would be verrrry cool....and it would sell as a non transforming plane...it (might) be cheap-ish....
-
I think we all just are asking ourselves in the back of our minds,,,,when is it gonna be tooooo $$$??? Who's gonna be the first to shell out $500 for Yamato's next years "must have" item!???
-
LOL! Kicker....bro...get BUSY building! I NEED to see some of those awesome kits built!
-
