MPC Millennium Falcon

[jake]

Here's what I finally came out with after many many layers of wash/paint/pastels/re-paint/cussing/re-weathering... annnnnd done! I cant do any better so it is what it is. Still have to paint the frames on the turret window and figure out a cock pit for my scratched canopy and crew tube. Oh and build up the mirrored base. Hey, I should be done by Christmas! ;D

Thanks for looking

Jake, that looks really good...I so hope I can build mine someday - it's a fantastic looking model after all the work you've put into it.

Scott I've seen your X-wing diorama. You can do it. The force is strong in you. ;D

 

[Quaralane]

Looking great so far.
Can't wait to see her with a cockpit

 

[JohnSimmons]

Excellent result on this MPC old kit...

It was a good ride and very impressive to read and follow...

Bravo !

Great build ! The weathering looks just right !

Nice collection by the way !

 

[Grendels]

Well done and nice display area!

 

[Jaitea]

As I said over at the RPF, I've got to agree with everyone, great painting,....the ship looks perfect

Great modifications also,.....the MPC gets so much slagging, but you can clearly see here that if it's done right, it can look just as good if not better than the FineMolds kit

Wish I had a display like that

Thanks everyone! Thanks John! The stand is made from a 12X20 mirror ($8.00) mounted to a wood frame made from some trim I had laying around. The stick is also wood and Its just epoxied to the mirror. All very simple. So glad you all like it. You guys were my inspiration for the whole mod on the MPC kit. Trust me, I never would have thought of all that myself. Thanks again!

Very cool. I have the FM Falcon calling my name. I want to jump into it but I gotta finish up a couple other builds.
