It may go .5 past Lightspeed and made the Kessel Run in less than 12 Parsecs, but this is a long term painting and weathering project. Some pics of my 1/72d Millenium Falcon. I started out using Tamiya spray Light Gray. Followed by washing the model using sepia game ink from Vallejo. I have begun the process of doing some panel fades and dry brushing with oil paints.
{The Fine Molds kit is a very nice kit. I just wanted to title this thread a bit differently.}

Looking really good there. Really good.
Those washes are definitely helping your detail
 
All of these builds of this kit makes me want to get mine out. But I must resist, the contest is soon, and I need to finish up what I have started!

Very nice work. If this build is like any of your other builds, it will be very well done. Did you use the outerspace outfitters panels in the bridge?

It comes with six figures - Han & Chewie and then you choose between Luke and Obi for ANH or Leia and 3PO for Empire. There's been talk for years from various people about coming out with resin figures of Lando/Nien Nunb/Rebels crew but I never heard of anything being released.
