hey fellas! just wanted to share a little project that I built for my son. we bought the falcon a year or so ago and it just needed a permanent dock…unfortunately it was the death star…thanks guys!
Wow!!!
Chris
Looks great SternO.
Many thanks guys. Thanks for checking it out.
Very cool! Is the falcon a toy or a kit? Nice bay. Bob
Thanks bob! The falcon is the toy…if it were the kit I wouldn’t want my four year old anywhere near it! Hehe…thanks again
Wow, the Falcon looks great but I love the hanger dio!
Nice [Y]
Do you have a WIP thread or what and how did you make it? What are the floor and walls (details) made of? How did you wire and power the lights?
I see R2 [H]
Thanks sprueone, unfortunately I do not have a WIP thread and only a few progress pictures on my phone. Ill be more than happy to share when I put them on my computer…the walls and floor are half inch plywood…the floor was painted gloss black then waxed with a industrial floor finish for shine…the dstarfield is painted as are much of the details…foam core and some wooden dowels provided the 3d details on the walls…the deck lines were taped off and painted white…the lights are dollar store specials that are powered by AA batteries…just drilled holes and stuck up through the bottom. That’s it in a nutshell…ill be glad to post some more pics and answer any other questions…thanks for looking!
Overachiever !
It’s beautiful.
Stern0 - thanks for getting back with the info. Great materials handling, I did not guess that is what you used.
Many thanks Gerry ! Anytime sprue…thank you for the interest and your comments. Most of my materials are just junk I have laying around…not low budget…no budget! Thanks again! Btw…have just finished a Scout trooper costume for my 4 year old…not sure if any topic would include something like that, but would love to have you guys critique it…any direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks fellas!
Sure there is:
General Modeling Discussion http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/general_discussion/f/9.aspx
and this one, Science Fiction [Y]
You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.
Looks great
Perfect quote Rob! Many thanks! [:D]
The Falcon quickly went from one of the coolest, most realistic looking space crafts I’d ever seen (in 1977) to what was supposed to be a hunk of junk in less than an hour! It was still cool.
The Falcon is definitely one of my favorites. I appreciate it even more after getting this great 3d book for my son…it was designed to be a “owners manual” and broke down all of her systems level by level…even described the modifications Han made…really good stuff
That is so KOOL!. Your son is blessed to have a Dad like you. I saw the Scout trooper , also incredible.
At first I thought it was a model, lol still the dock is amazing!
Many thanks guys…you all are too kind…my son has now commissioned me to make the cantina for his 4 inchers…ill post some pics soon…thanks again guys!
