I am not sure what impresses me more - the build or the build space. One dirty the other tidy. Guess there is some serious photoshopping going on 😉 Do people use the waterslide decals or do they paint instead? Why? Really is optional, depends on your painting skill for the panels I am in the middle of building this now, and I think I will probably paint it fully assembled, although being a bandai kit, it push fits together, but the fit is so snug that there is a danger of damaging the part when trying to prise them apart. You can modify parts to make this easier though.

Revell (Bandai original) 01211 Star Wars Millennium Falcon

The Millennium Falcon complements the Perfect Grade Series, Bandai's flagship line of ultra-detailed plastic model kits. To all Star Wars fans who have been committed to that wish, here is what Bandai has to offer. Here is the ultimate Millennium Falcon. Reproducing the Finest Details In the middle I inserted a printed profile with 2 components glue. Not only intended to look good, but also to reinforce the most unstable part of the scaffolding. After all, what are we model builders for, close the gap. I only had to score a new board seam with a mini chisel afterwards. There are dedicated groups on FB for the PG falcon and the Archive X paints, some helpful people and links there also.So Bandai have got the Star Wars licence for Japan,...all of the kits they've released so far & are planning on releasing are Original Trilogy kits (Thankfully Prequel kits are not the priority at the minute)...theres XWings, TIE Fighters, Scout Walkers, Droids, Speeder Bikes, Stormtroopers & Vader......

I use the clear part. It's important to me to see the light reflections that the glass casts. There was no glass in the film, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see the actors properly.The next reason is that the chippings taken from the film and adopted by Bandai in the decals are way too coarse for this scale in my opinion. That fits more in 1:35.

It took me a long time to take the first step because I didn't know how to fill this large empty area or with what. It IS the Millennium Falcon, all the work that went into it....all the details, super fine details,....but the model was BIG & heavy and hard to get those agile & active shots.

This was the first time that a part didn’t sit perfectly. A huge gap had to be bridged with Mr. surfacer. I think Fine Molds released their 1/72 model of the falcon in 2005 before Master Replicas MF, they decided to make a scale model off the 32" I don't know how much access the FM modellers were allowed, but they got some fundimental measurements wrong The kit lighting set is a bit limited in scope and some folks add an AM one to improve on it. Tyridium Models makes lighting kits as do a number of other companies.

After priming and pre-shading, the first base coat is on. I chose Vallejo White Gray. Pure white would have been too cold for me. The kit offers a choice between plastic and etched pieces to create the mesh vent grills, allowing for a more in-depth recreation. LED Light-Up Features (LED Unit Included)Apply the decals first after removing the surface details. Otherwise I would have had problems with Microsol myself. There's no right or wrong way to do it. You just have to do it your way but always push yourself a tiny bit to do something that takes your builds to the next level. The kit is based on thorough research on the 1.7m studio model and knows no compromises in terms of model fidelity and detailing. What are the best 3rd party add-on's? Are they necessary? Shapeways, don't need too much though - Greeblies Suffice it to say that there are tons of small differences in all areas of each model. "In general", the 5 footer is more highly detailed - made for more close up shots. If you're using reference for your models you need to spend a bit of time to determine details so you can tell which model your reference is from.
