Millenium Falcon (version of the movie "Solo") building thread

Rain day arrived model finalized. There were only few parts missing. After final painting and assembling I also made a little weathering on th model. See pictures.
The plastic model you can see is the one of Bandai (I think it is the only one existing.)

Bandi makes the State of the Art 1/144th Solo Falcon, Revell makes a box scale build and play toy type model of it.

 

[starbuck]

Oh yes you are right - also Revell has one.

 

[zathros]

The model is coming out great. Nice size, and enough detail to be fun.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Very nice touch with the weathering! It looks pretty good!

 

[McCoy]

Cool. Can we download it soon?

Thx... few months ago i made my own version of it... a bit bigger and more detailed... i will post it on zealot

 

[Revell-Fan]

I'm looking forward to seeing it, @McCoy !

If you cutout and greebled in the engine intake sections (three black secions with 6 holes on top) that model would really POP!

 

[Revell-Fan]

That model has a great greebling potential indeed. Just imagine it with separately cut out and glued on plates.

Lead us not into temptation RF!

An easy way to do that is to print it out on thin paper, and just vut and glue the panels over onto the model. The panel lines form themselves.

 

[starbuck]

Thanks for the tip. I just do not understand what is meant by "vut". -I did many additional details, but only on 180gr paper - so they unfortunately do not pop up

 

[Revell-Fan]

I guess it was a typo... "cut" instead of "vut". At least I read it that way.

 

[zathros]

vut = put, I'm sorry,it's my thick sausage fingers, makes playing Violin difficult too. .

 

[starbuck]

makes sense

 

[Revell-Fan]

vut = put,

OK, that would have been my second guess..! :Grin:

 

[zathros]

This model will brighten up a room and add color.

A Zathros post is actually a substitution code. He does that to exercise our brains. That's part of the fun of his posts, trying to figure out what he really meant. Actually, it's easy, just look at the keyboard and check what's next to the strange letter.

It's really fun when he is mad or very passionate.
