OK, here it is, The milinium falcon. I started this 7 months ago as a gift for my mother in law. There is a story behind this, Her and her first husband built this kit in 1983, it was the last kit they built together before he died at 26. She lost track of the kit, and doesnt know what happened to it, so my wife, my son (who is named after his grampa), and myself built this kit for her birthday. I pretty much buit the exterior and painted it. My wife did the base colors on the inside, and I did the wash and drybrush. My son and I scratchbuilt the stands for it together (hes only 3 so he needed help). You can only see the the stand holding up part of the top hull.





Since this kit is out of production, I actually purchased it from some one here on the forums (thanks maurits, she really loved recieving this kit). hope you all enjoy

Amazing work on a kit that needs a lot of it. Like others said, the story makes it even better.

Cheers
