OK whith a title like that there better be something substantial eh? Well there is!
Let's begin with the show shall we.
At present time on a bench not so far away we find . . .
So in answer, Yes it is the DeAgostini/Model Space subscription Millenium Falcon. I started down this path of building an uber deluxe Falcon way back with the first MPC kit in the 80's. With the minimal and marginal references available at the time as well as lack of know how and tools to do anything about it, I became rather disappointed with the kit and never finished it.
This a whole different build and type of build from that one long ago. This time I have awesome references, tools and many more skills than on that time previously. In addition I will have to build slow. The parts are doled out at a small rate thus allowing changes and revisions as we go along. It's not going to be a race, but an adventure and I hope you will follow along with me.
As always questions and comments are welcome and appreciated. Enjoy your week there is much more to come!
REVISION
I was finally forced to do some tweaking to this post and added and moved some of the pictures around. In the process of doing more and more of the basic builds I had doscovered some things and am just going to do the best I can to update the things I can to reflect a better photo flow. The biggest change is adding the info pic, references pics and moving the screws to this first spot to make it easier to find. That photo is also updated and has all but one of the screws which won't show till after Issue #40.
I also changed the weeks to Issues as that is how they are published and labled.
Some of the other earlier photo posts will have some changes as well. Most likely they will get a few more photos added. If too many I will add the extras to the next post I make for a comment. My OCD kicking in but it will get all the ducks in a row.
Thanks for watching and all your wonderful comments my friends!
