  1. Hi Lukas ! This model is looking amazing so far . WOW! Look forward to more updates. Thanks for sharing your work.
  2. Wow! Simply stunning Falcon build Steven. What a paint job! Weathering! Amazing! Really like yout photography too.
  3. Thx alot pal very kind of you to say. Feel free to post a pic of your falcon. I did check your profile but didn't see any falcons . Cheers Ollie
  4. This is awsome! Love Red Dwarf! Great print btw.
  5. Work on the cockpit Some decals (Very nice) and a lil hand painting (not so nice, to small for my clumsy hands). I sanded smooth 90% of the raised details so the decals would adhere neat and tidly without air trapped behind. Cheers Ollie

  13. Hi all . Joined this forum a while ago, been a long time lurker and thought it was high time I joined in. So here goes. Already made a start to this project. As per title i'd like to do an Empire strikes back version of the Falcon. My fav movie of all time! The fundamental difference are alot more lights, the gaining of the two extra landing gear and landing gear bulkheads. Also the lower maintenance pits are different. The cockpit is also different compared to the first movie, but luckily The kit comes with an empire cockpit already..... I bought the parts needed from shapeways.com . https://www.shapeways.com/product/FCV ... d=67653474 Obviously this has turned into a money pit... >_< so hope I dont fluff this up.. Choping into the hull eeeeek.. Marking out new maintanence pits with tape Parts Tacked in place with CA glues then epoxied. I used previously cut hull material to re-dress the maintenence pits. Also a good blast of primer. came out great so pleased . Phew! Upon studying the movie the Falcons headlights are sometimes Red and sometimes Clear so I have installed two Bi colour 3mm LEDs. Added strip LEDs for rear engine With a ramp up and flicker effect. Using an Arduino nano. The Youtube video does'nt do it justice the fade up is much more gradual but you get the idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnkOYh_PXE&feature=youtu.be Using 3mm LEDs sanded flush to hull for landing lights and 5mm LEDS used in a 10mm hole for the Well lights. I put the Well 5mm Leds in bulb holders from an old AMT kit. Also used 2mm Lighthouse Leds for the warning lights. Thats all so far. Next on the agends is to start work on the cockpit. But for now time to lurk and admire all your amazing models. Cheers Ollie
