Hi guys and gals, Well, I bit the bullet and decided to build this behemoth! I'm actually pretty new to Sci-Fi, and until last week, I'd only ever seen the first Star Wars film........back in 1977! I really couldn't resist this model though. It looks amazing, and there are some great build logs here. I'm not a modelling newcomer. I've been building for almost 40yrs, and I'm a regular contributor to several modelling magazines, and I'm handy with an airbrush. I'm also ok with electronics, and fancy really souping this up with anything I can throw at it that will improve it. Here are some examples of my previous modelling work:     As I only ordered the Millennium Falcon a couple of days ago, I have some time to plan how I'll tackle it. I'll airbrush and weather the interior and exterior, and I really fancy adding fibre optics. I've seen the extras on Shapeways, but what else could be used? (electronics, lights etc?) Great to be here!

Welcome aboard!! Your aircraft builds are amazing. That Spitfire looks like the real thing.  Can't wait to see what you do with the Falcon.

Thanks for your replies.
I really can't wait for this to start arriving here. Been on a bit of a Star Wars kick recently with Sideshow Collectibles and Bandai, but I can really make a go of this one.
Regards,
Jim
