My Falcon in the Nov 2020 issue!!
Posted by Jim Kirk on Sunday, November 1, 2020 7:59 AM

I wanted to thank FSM for including my 1/72 Bandai Perfect Grade Millennium Falcon build in the gallery of the current issue, November 2020!

I have had my work there several other times, but it never gets old and it was a pleasant suprise!!

The photo they chose was shot in natural sunlight on my back deck,by me, in a recreation of my favorite publicity shot of the filming model. Bandai did an excellent job with the kit, and I enjoyed the build! I have attached side by side shots with my model and the actual filming miniature here for you guys as well!

Thanks again!!

Nicely done.  I remember the photo and admiring the model.  Cherry Hill is a nice little town.  Has Camden gotten any better?

Congrats Mark!

Too bad FSM doesn't put our screen names in the discription. That way we would know who's it is. But, it's not FSM's job to hunt down names and screen names.

Next time I submit a photo I'll give them my screen name so if by the very remote chance it gets feetured, they may put it down.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.
