Hi all,

This is the last kit that I just started, the Millennium Falcon 1/72 Finemolds.

Here are the steps in photos.

I have realizing inside the reactors in translucent resin for better dissemination of LightUp.

Original parts



The resin molding




Lightup of the cockpit with photoetched paragrafix












Inserting magnets in the verrieres cockpit and turrets. They are interchangeable






















The gun turret is magnetized to be able to handle the change verriere








The grid is cutted behind the cockpit and replace the grid of photoetched and give depth, the hole is filled with leftover photoetched








The LightUp turrets, the inside of the turrets was modified with evergreen

Very cool! I love that you dug out a recess behind the koolshade to give it some depth. I wish I had though of that.

 

[DJSLY74]

Thank you all for your comments.

I made some changes to the propellant for the LightUp, I've cut the solid portion of the propellant and I replaced with transparent styrene.

I stuck my resin moldings it and I painted the entourage with a blue / green GAIANOTES.

Parts made transparent resins are painted with a mix of blue + green tamiya clear.

For LightUp I used tape del.
