After examining the Photos of the 5' Falcon, it has a very Banged up, somewhat disjointed feel to some of it. I believe this was done on purpose by the guys at ILM..I am trying to get that same feel on this model. Most of the Falcon Builds I see, in particular the FM 1/72 have an assembly line quality to them..everybody does the same thing, every model looks like the last one...So on this build, I am really trying to capture the"Look and feel" of the 5' miniature...

Which based on the reference pics up close looks a little rough...  

Having said that however, This model is still under construction and I will be cleaning up areas that need attention..But again, the 5' was/is pretty banged up and Used looking...that's what I am going after!

Here's a pic of what I am trying to get..

The real 5' Miniature...

And my build so far...

The scale of my "KOOLSHADE" is off, I am trying to find something else to replicate what the 5' Koolshade.so that may change very soon..I have Top men working on it!!

I am also replacing the pipeing around the ship, but one of our other friends here is doing the same thing..
