My first month just shipped! I have no idea what I'm doing, but I want a Millennium Falcon, and I want it two years from now.

Updates to come.

Welcome to the Forum, Nohimn. This is a great model to build. This is a very friendly forum and everyone here will be happy to answer any questions you might have. There are tons of great ideas from the members build diaries, so you should look at them all. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with your build.

I sanded the quad laser. In one picture, you can see when I first drilled the barrel holes, I used a smaller gauge. I thought this looked kinda funny, so I redid it with a larger gauge. I noticed the barrels seem to fall off the gun. I'm wondering how others securely attached the barrels. Just glue? Maybe solder?

I otherwise built the frame, but I'm holding off on most of the build until I collect paints and complete my air brushing set. So far I'm pretty impressed with the detail of the parts, and the care put into the magazine content. I'm looking forward to the next month :)

Also, an aside: a coworker grabbed the metal earth MF kit. I had to stay late at work on Friday, so I built the kit, and grabbed some other stuff under my desk to assemble this: https://www.youtube.com/...1b8&feature=youtu.be

My local USPS seems to have some serious problems. 2nd package came in with the box pretty much caved in, like someone kicked it. Parts were OK, but I worry about future shipments :/ The binder was never delivered. MS has been great about helping me. They're sending another binder. I do wish I can get tracking information so I can hunt down what happens to these packages.
