Hello everybody and sorry for my poor english but I'm a French guy. "Build the Millenium Falcon" has just began in France last week. Perhaps some of you have heard about Cusset-Générations Starwars and SF before because it's the biggest convention about Starwars in France. http://leblog.genstarwars.com/
First of all I've a question concerning hull and frames. When I look at the nearly 30 issues you already have in UK it seems the hull is the bottom one and the frame is the top one. Is that real or not ?

Right now, both frame and hull are for the bottom of the ship. You get a couple pieces of frame and hull for the top in the first few issues, but these are kind of a preview that you then save for later on. We are assembling the frame and then will attach the hull afterward. Some people are doing it as they go, though. Eventually we'll have a while frame for both top and bottom, and hull to cover it all.

Nice technique on the canon. It definitely has a lot of realism.

Welcome to the forum.

PS. There is nothing wrong with your English.

Have a look on the blog to my last job a few years ago : the Wild Karrde scale 1/100.

I have done a few modifications to the wall of the cockpit behind the seats using some greeblies from old watches. It's in relief so it's giving more fun to that wall.

I believe you are correct about the orientation of the levers on the center console. They are that way on the blueprint as well.

The rear wall of your cockpit looks great. Keep the pictures coming.

Still waiting for N°4 and 5 so I've done some weathering job on the cockpit.

Bonjour! Your watch greeblies look great! Perhaps I should start taking apart some of my old watches. Great idea!
