Not really Chris. At warp factor ten you'd be there before you got your seat belt fastened!

Hi Brian, love spotting the gyzmology the designers put into making the M Falcon...definitely a Jagpanther hull there in one of the exposed conduits. There are photos of the design team putting the model together with boxes of model kits in the background for spare parts.

Cheers,

Apparently they raided the local hobby store and bought up all the plastic kits

Going to convert to usb mains but I'll need to be able to route the cable so you can't see it, but that's for after I finished.

She might look almost finished but believe me I'm not half way through.

...and Tiger I, M60, M18, & Brit tank engine decks as well as an automatic transmission & bellhousing. Coming along great.
 
I hope the top of the hull is just dry-fit 'cos the gaps are terrible! The rest is beautiful.

More great work on that model. I’ve just watched a thing on YouTube of a guy who has built an exact copy of the filming model. It’s taken 7 years in total. Approximately 5 years doing the research and collecting the 150 vintage kits required for the parts identified as being used on the original. It cost him $20 thousand in total. Was a very interesting
