Well done... that looks incredible!

Just have to say this is fantastic...keep the updates coming!

Great work! I might have to steal the idea with the shrink wrap

So I got my new set of parts in 2 weeks ago. Been sick the last 5 days, so the model was put aside unfortunately. So here they are.








So I thought I'd start out with the easy stuff first. The skeleton.



















Pretty simple and easy to do. Seeing parts of the hull really gets me excited. Especially at how big this sucker is gonna be.

So next up is priming the new walls and then we have the door arch.







After pulling all the little pillows, it was time to sand off the edges.















Then attach them to the arch.














Next up, the outter arch.








So the hole pattern is wrong in the arch. So I decided to cut away the holes to more accurately reflect the Falcon interior.











Next up is that there are hoses and such inside that arch. So with the dremel tool, I route out the center of the arch so I can put small wire inside to look like hoses.
















And then set in some wire.






I had an old Slave One laying around and was looking at it's pieces and found some sections to cut out and place inside my wall cutout to make it look a little more busy. So I glued them inside my box





Painted them black then did some dry brushing




Added a couple wires




Used this piece painted for the lower cut out (which can't really be seen because the nav console covers it :()





And there ya go with the cutouts filled.







So now it's time get to the wall hoses.








Masked off the hoses to paint the red and black stripes which appear in the film.










And the hoses on the wall. But it's not accurate to the Falcon.






Using set photos as a reference, I added a few more wires to the wall and re-shaped the one large white hose to curve and go into my wall cutout as it does in the movie.





And the wall attached to the hall set.






Time to paint the remaining walls to match the rest of my hall.





Then it was time to cut out a path in the wall and floor for the fibers and wire for the navigation console













AND.... The interior so far with the walls attached.









I just need to paint that red wire black behind the console so it doesn't show so much.

Thanks CRphoto. I also forgot to add some photos of the wall cutouts, which I just went back and re-inserted into my post of what I did.

Awesome work Colson

Now that I finally got me LED panel to light the back of the cockpit, I drilled some holes and added some blinking fibers in the back as well to break it up. Sorry the video won't embed. But here's a link.

That looks really good.

looking great !!!

I've been using all Tamiya paints. The cockpit seats and game bench were khaki (XF-72), with some black wash and some deck tan (XF-55) dry brush. On the rear cockpit seats,the cushions are deck tan with some brown (XF-49) wash. I also painted the back seats Flat Aluminum (XF-16), then seasled with hairspray. Once dry, I painted with flat black. Then added a bit of water on the paint to soften and began scraping away the black to expose the aluminum underneath. The cockpit interior is German Grey (XF-63) with black wash. Highlights done with either dry brushing Flat Aluminum (XF-16) or using silver from the Tamiya pastels. To dirty stuff up I use the Mud and Oil Stain pastels. I also use the Rust and Sand pastels for some highlights. My wall interiors for the hall I'm using Tamiya Metallic Grey (XF-56). And again dirtying up with the pastels. Oh, and as of right now, my floor is actually a print from my computer. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to deal with the floor. It actually doesn't look to bad with the print on it. I've created a floor for photo etch, but have yet to find a reasonable place to get it done for me.
