Excellent work on those inserts, John

LrdSatyr8 · Apr 4, 2016

Very nicely done so far. Those recesses are INSANE bro! Love the work so far!

Jaitea · Apr 5, 2016

Thank you very much guys.....Another wee bit done...connecting the back quarter walls to the engine nozzle strip.....no parts of a Matilda goes unused!!

I love those engine details. I know they are wire connection blocks... what's the name of them? Been trying to find them myself!

Ohm · Apr 6, 2016

Man this is outstanding and very resourceful!

No, they're scratched & cast.......starting of with styrene tube:

Then cut & built into a block with finer tubes & kit bashed parts:

Then moulded & cast

;D

Nice! Looks great bro! They look so very much like those wire connection blocks I've seen others use before. Awesome work in scratch building them! Love the way they came out!

Quaralane · Apr 7, 2016

Nicely executed there

Jaitea · Apr 9, 2016

Wow,...thanks guys,....still chipping away at it

I bought the latest issue of the 'DeAgostini Build your own Falcon'.....for the more accurate pit,.....so it's in & it's seat modified for its different dimensions

Thanks for looking

LrdSatyr8 · Apr 11, 2016

One thing DeAgo got right were all the recess pits. Looks great so far bro... keep it up!

Jaitea · Apr 14, 2016

Thanks matesy,

Done some more work on her....I moulded & cast the Jet fan from a 1/24 SeaHarrier to make the 6 fans for the engine deck:

Then to mount the seats for the other 2 pits

Thanks for looking
John

LrdSatyr8 · Apr 14, 2016

Looking good my friend... love how those fans came out! How much modification did you have to do to the DeAgo pit to get it to fit in the Hasbro?

Jaitea · Apr 14, 2016

None to the actual pit....just changes to the pipework that connects to it on the hull.....it may be 10% bigger part,...but it looks pretty good....better than my kit bashed attempt

John

LrdSatyr8 · Apr 14, 2016

It does look a little bigger if you know what you're looking at, but I'd say it looks really good! Very nicely done bro!

Grendels · Apr 25, 2016

Nice work on the engine details.....Much needed for the old AMT kit. Thanks for showing that.

Jaitea · Jun 11, 2016

Thanks guys

I've done a wee bit of plating.....& with greeblies I got from HaystackHair over on RPF,....I did a bit of modification on the port docking walkway

Before:

After:

I scratched this bit:

Plating on the cockpit walkway:

I bought some printed grilles made by TonyRR from shapeways......I might remove them again....I think they need to be in a bit deeper in the exhausts??......dunno?

Thanks for looking

John

Hagoth · Jun 11, 2016

Jaitea · Jul 21, 2016

Thanks guys,....still chipping away

The last bit of the main body's side walls done,....just the mandibles to do:

The docking bay ring slots on to keep the 2 halves together,...just for the photos

The portside mandible part taped in place just to see how it will look:

Still loads to do

Thanks for looking

Constantine · Aug 7, 2016

Very nice work and very helpful! Thanks!

Jaitea · Nov 8, 2016

I'm REALLY impressed by the 3d printed & PE set I got off Gus, this really is another level,....the quality of print is exceptional,...& detail is beautiful,...he's thought of everything....This project was in limbo,....now it has re-ignited my interest

Thanks for looking

John

dano985 · Nov 8, 2016

Awesome progress!

Quaralane · Nov 8, 2016

That new cockpit definitely helps sell this

Jaitea · May 19, 2019

Thanks for looking

Beautiful Falcon John, as usual. I really need to pick up one of those Hasbro's. And yes, its a shame about Scott but I bet hes very busy with his farm if I recall correctly.
