I have 2 original Falcon kits. Now THAT is junk! Lol.. I'm actually reworing the entire thing. Lots of resin, scraping all of the pipes off the Hull... Led's.... its come a long way but still a lot to do....

Just having a look through this thread with my 4yo daughter and she tells me "daddy, you need to put pipes on yours or it won't look right!" you have "our" approval John, just awesome work!!!

Copy that! Awesome job!!!! 'nuff said!

Hi John, Can you tell me what you're soaking parts in? I scrubbed mine with warm water and a little detergent and they seem fine, got one gun well built and painted including putting an LED behind the chair. I must get back to it... Been sooooo busy and now I'm sick :-\ Oh well, going to fall...

Lol... I think I'll give that one a go! ;)

WOW G!!! I am defiantly sterling this mod!!! ;)

Nice work you have going on! Looks like you're putting a fleet together.... :)

Awesome work John, I WAS going to leave these parts but now you had to go there and I've had to add it to my list.... Man! This thing's never gonna get done!!! :D

Great work John, i'm also following your lead on this mod but I'm cutting through from behind and and building a structure to give put strength back into the panel. I must get back on it but it's real cold here right now and I have no heating in the man cave! Brrr! Keep up the good work!

VERY nice! :) and welcome....

@ Jaitea, that was what put me onto the idea of cutting out between the plates.... Also, if you look at the illustration shows, you would only ever have a clear cut through upto the engine grill. @ Grendels, I'll look forward to it.... :)

Just a 'safety for the model' tip, for anyone cutting out the vents.... I also used a multi tool to open up the holes but I did it from underneath so I could see exactly where the cutter was going. This actually in turn makes it safe for the surface of the model just in case it does bite in and...

I've been watching your vid's on my iPad, no problems??? As far as the "thrust plates" go, I only cut back as far as the engine screen, I was almost tempted to cut them all off and reposition them like I might if building a plane 'cranking an' banking' but I'm glad I resisted that one!!!! ;)...

Hey Grendels, You're doing great work! IMO, those plates are thrust vector flappy things and as they each have an actuator to operate each one independently they would (in REAL life) be separate plates so I am building with that in mine regardless of what the studio Falcon looks like. BTW, I...

Great work Ozzy, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out... Keep it going Ozzy! :)
