discussion big falcon

[Guest]

Hi every one ,

here are a few images of my large scale millenium falcon which was completed about two years ago and is now in a private collection, she is 42 inches long 32 inches wide 8 inches high took 11 months to build and drove me nuts I began to number the panels which I had fitted but gave up in the end. All the construction is from plastic sheet evergreen rod tube and other shapes, unlike the original I used only a very few parts from kit sources %80 of the model is all hand cut pieces. Please let me know what you think, I will be postingsome of my of my other models as soon as I can

regards Baz

A cracking model Baz, it must have taken ages to research all that detail.

Thank you gentlemen for your nice comments and for those of you who wondered how she was built I will be posting build photos as soon as I get them sized up a bit larger for you to see things a bit better I will have to admit the force was with me on this build but it did take a lot of plastic and I mean a lot .

regards Barrie.

Now that......... Is absolutely awesome. Scratch built ???? and here I am struggling to follow instruction sheets and getting all those itty bitty plastic bits in the kit into the right places and the right way up. ........ Maybe I should take up "Cross Stitch" or Knitting or somesuch.

big falcon scratchbuild

Hi every one, thanks once again, Peter let me tell you not all models look as good as the falcon, I have been scratchbuilding for many years and if you wereto see some of my early models you would laugh yourself silly, they were terrible. I just kept going and learnt from other model makers asked for advise and got it as model people seem to be so helpfull. just for a change throw away the instructions and have a go at a scratchbuild you may be surprised at what you can achieve, if you need any help let me know,

here are a few more build pics, best regards Barrie.
