discussion winter days and nights

[Guest]

Hello everyone,


what do you get after a lot of long winter days and nights........a big millenium falcon model thats what. Here is my latest build all scratchbuilt a 32 inch diameter falcon up and running in six weeks of dark dismal winter days and nights. Now on display at TRANSPORT MODELS OF PRESTON LANCASHIRE, to whom I owe a big THANK YOU for help, ideas and supplies which make possible most of my models and for thier friendship and support with my model making a great place to find great models. The falcon was built in just over six weeks, though I must admit I have built a similar sized model before so the second one was a bit easier knowing where not to go wrong.


anyway enjoy the images sorry about the old grinning guy holding the model at the model shop...


oooopppsss sorry thats me the old model maker himself. Please feel free with your comments as this will help me in my next models.


regards Barrie ( the old model guy )
