Have been quietly working away at the hold and the ring corridor. Here are some photos of the two build sections. The hold looks a bit dark to me and the corridor a bit light. Will work today on darkening up the corridor.

Looks great, Chewie. I'm working on my cargo hold as well. I'm adding some extras from Shapeways, as it seems a bit empty the way it comes.

Always good to have some extra reference material. I will be watching your build with interest.

Thats funny that you bring up the extras from Shapeways. I was very torn for a whole month on whether to replace the floor and start adding extras. Finally decided to just go stock for now.........as I know that once i start with the extras, it will start a landslide.

Look forward to seeing how your build turns out and looking forward to my next box.

I did spend a good chuck of change on the extras, but I figure I'm only going to build the falcon once and I want to have all the extras for the interior. I'm also doing some modifications and adding a few extra greeblies I will be making myself just to fill up some of the areas that are lacking detail. Still have a long ways to go though.

P.S. The one nice thing about the Shapeways floor is it has holes precut so that you can run wiring into the nav computer and the game area.

I love the look of your floor and hold area as it is...and the subtle fibre optic lighting you've added.. wish I had that know how!....I guess its up to the individual how many extras to add....I got the chewie bowcaster extras set and the nav chair from shapeways but decided to leave it at that...saving my pennies to build the eventual display case !!!!!
