Gimme Shelter Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Hi Thanks to our dedicated and most loyal club photographer at IPMS Farnborough, here are the pictures of my completed DeAgostini Millennium Falcon (20 editions of which belong to him I do need to add!) - Built from 100 editions of various sized parts as a studio replica of the 3 footer Falcon used in ESB and ROTJ. Mine had its own paint job and face-lift as I was not particularly impressed with the basic toy look of the parts from the kit supplied parts. This is BIG, heavy, and has already been exiled to the garage by my Fiancée ("get that bloody great big plastic hamburger out" were her exact words I seem to remember) - perhaps a show piece for Telford in November, I'm not sure as its table top greedy. A fun build and as I stated numerous times on the WIP threads, very much worth its weight in metal and plastic when the costs are spread out - the pub till takes more from the average Gent per month than DeAgostini do when building this kit. May the Force be with You John 19
TallBlondJohn Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Impressed my your other half's movie model trivia knowledge - ILM did indeed nickname the Falcon 'the Hamburger'; unlike 'X-wing' and 'Y-wing' it didn't stick. 1

Bandsaw Steve Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Looks like somebody's beginning to take an interest in your handiwork.
