Excellent work!
I especially love your YT-1350 design!!!!
I have an MPC Falcon I got off Ebay, that I am going to make a custom ship out of....However, not quite sure how I am going to modify it yet.

is there a list anywhere of kits to get to make your MPC falcon shine?

Sorry, meant to say thanks to Merseajohn!

astroboy: some pieces are parts I've gathered up over the years, but I have bought 3 1/72 Panther tanks for the project, lots of similar details used on the 5foot Falcon & as I mentioned I bought a pack of 3 1/144 Jadg Panthers off ebay....these were pre-built & painted.....search for "TAKARA WTM02,1:144" and you'll find them.

If you want to get an idea where ILM sourced their kit parts from, The Replica Prop Forum has a thread going there where parts are identified:
http://www.thereplicapropforum.com/f10/large-scale-millennium-falcon-kit-ids-new-maps-start-thread-104116/

Oh and I have also used electronic parts off my sons scrapped PS3.....so its really a Star Wars Blu-ray project!
