• Falcon Build- Cargo Hold 3
  And here we are at the end of my current documentation of the Falcon. The other things I’ve done on the model have not been photographed. I remember working on the forward wall next to the bunk, and the detail panel behind/above the computer. No pics though, and the model parts are packed away. Eventually ...
• Falcon Build- Cargo Hold 2
  Continuing with the hold build. Here is the hold with the bench and computer in progress. The walls have had their holes cut out for detailing. Here is the wall behind the big pipes on the aft wall.The walls on the port side have also been opened up for detailing. Here I’m starting the framing of the room. ...
• Falcon Build- Cargo Hold 1
  Ah, the cargo hold/lounge of the Falcon. I have to wonder what kind of reference was used by the model designers in this part. While it’s true that the set that the actors were on wasn’t actually intended to fit into the shell of the outside of the vehicle, it can in fact fit if ...

• Falcon Build- Dorsal Gunner Viewport
  Originally posted on July 18, 20105. The quad laser cannon and the gunner area for the outer hull is in with the first month’s shipment. While I still get my modelling space put together, I decided to start some steps here. I removed the view port frame, which is rotated about 15º off from where it ...
• Falcon build- The Beginning…

For those unfamiliar, De Agostini is a UK company that has a subscription model for, well, models. Each week they publish a magazine that comes bundled with a pack of parts for the model. ...
