You make me cry with happiness! What a lovely build!! The paneling looks great...that beautiful subtle touch you have....

As for the MF, do you have the F-Toys version? THAT one would look better than the (tomy?) one you have there...at least detail wise. But with your painting you could make ANYTHING looked like it stepped right out of ILM...

Cheers Nick! Tomy did you say? whats wrong with my pre school falcon!? Ok I did get it off the front of a magazine : I'm waiting for the f-toys one to go down in price, how much different in size is it to the 'my first falcon' toy I'm using by the way?

 

[nicholassagan]

Does this help you get an idea of size?

Here it is next to the Revell Pocket Kit...which IMHO is 1/350...based on the PE figure I used in it...

 

[Eastrock]

way too cool MJ, weathering looks great the panel wash pops out the details

Congrats man, this is looking terrific !
Cheers

It's not a competition Q! Oh....wait yeah it is. Your Solaria's looking great mate.

So I've pretty much finished with the oils. I havnt stayed 100% to the studio model because...dare I say it...It's a little bland and it also lets me just run free with my imagination. After these oils have fully cured I'll bang out the AK Interactive pigments and get this thing finished up!






Hope you like the progress!
Take care guys,
MJ

 

[Jaitea]

Ohhhhhh....I want one!!

The painting is spot on,... you're a master

Your giving this piece the life it deserves.

[Solander]

This is killer!
Add about twice as much shocked faces to the nicholassagan's post, and You'll see my reaction.
Best BR model I've ever seen. Outstanding!!!

 

[The Nylon Gag]

John,

What a stunning piece of work Sir.

Your weathering is so subtle it makes the detail pop without overwhelming the base colour.

Where do you get those little falcons from cuz i want one so bad after see yours. ;D

Great stuff mate, simply great.
