Man I love this model!!!!
Did you use the panel decals supplied or did you paint them? Is the individual lighting your own doing, or does the kit come that way? Where is the switch for the lights?
Thanks!
Jim Kirk iSteve Beautiful work! Very accurate weathering, sir. So, are the landing gear and loading ramp interchangeable for inflight and landed display? Or do you just have to choose one or the other for your final build? Yes It's all interchangable! Ill post pics of it with the gear and ramp down soon...

Dang! I don't believe I'd have the patience to do that! Very nice work there!
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Wow that looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
Bandai Perfect grade 1/72 Millennium Falcon... lighting. Love the “scale” lighting in cockpit! Han and Chewie shouldn’t need welders goggles to fly the Falcon!!
Started on the lower hull...
since standing in line around the block and finally seeing a film called STAR WARS!
I think that is one of only a couple films I ever saw that had lines around the theatre. Godfather was the other if I recall.
A number Army Viet Nam scans from hundreds yet to be done:

Have had the great fortune to be on every side of the howitzers.
Rob Gronovius Looks great, does the upper hull open so you can see the insides?

No. Does not open...and that's fine by me!
Uber cool, WOW.
we're modelers it's what we do
YES!!!!
"THE" Millennium Falcon model I have wanted since standing in line around the block and finally seeing a film called STAR WARS! While everyone at the time loved the X Wings, I from day one loved the Falcon...THIS Falcon...An almost perfect reproduction of the 5' Filming model.
Very excited about building her up!
Fully Built and awaiting PAINTING/WEATHERING.
The model has some weight to it! The lights go on individually. You can have the engine and cabin lights on without the landing gear and entrance lamps on...etc.Unlike the brittle plastic of the fine molds kit, the plastic has some give but care must be taken when removing the delicate pipe work from the sprue.
The cockpit lighting is true to the lighting of the cockpit as seen in Star Wars...in scale and believable , unlike in Empire when it was lit like a Christmas tree.
A little work on the cockpit...
A little more work...
A couple more "IN PROGRESS" shots for anyone interested... OK...A little more progress. First there is no hymn or reason for how I am doing this. I am bouncing around the upper hull, sides and engine deck right now. I used photos of the real 5' Falcon .(I ran out of ink on my printer, otherwise I would display the photos with my model)...The fun continues! Note...the little gaps here and there will be cemented flush with the hull as I progress! A couple more "in progress" shots...
