I have 2 subs for the Falcon and for one I am going to do just a stock build.For the other I will probably do some scratchbuilding for the interior.I have a felling that I will rarely be looking inside the finished model so I am not too worried about how the interior will look.

Hi Carl,
I was charged on the 18th for shipment 11, and at the time the customer service person said the issues were on time. I still have not gotten a shipment notice, and now they are telling me that the issues are back ordered again. Has this happened to anyone else, and why do we keep getting charged when the issues are not even in the country yet?

Hi there,
I sent you a PM .I can help get this sorted for you

I'm going without mainly. I'm not wholesale replacing any parts, though, or carving holes into my floors. I'm mainly interested in the exterior.

That said, I'm still considering the chair in the hold, and I've got some ideas for sprucing up the hold without any physical modifications (i.e. just using some decorations).

I will probably do some work on the interior and probably try scratchbuilding a few things or going the apoxie sculpt route, but I dont think I'm going to worry about ordering anything pre-made. The Falcon is going to cost a ton as it is, no need to add extra expense for something trivial. The exterior looking film accurate is the only thing I truly care about anyway.

I am not going to go crazy either. Originally I thought about adding all the cool movie accurate stuff, but for me this build is more about the building then the replicating factor. I originally was going to go the route of interior outside in its own display case because I was going to mount the falcon on the wall. I have since found a coffee table I love for displaying it and going that route. I will open it up from time to time, but not often so not going crazy.

Plus I have kinda decided to make this not the falcon since the majority are building the falcon. I am thinking Star of Tion, or just my own design. I will be going a little more hard core on the outside. I kinda want to make it look likes its brand new, or been restored by someone with money. I will buy certain detail parts via shapeways for anything I feel is a better design, I.E. the quad blasters, and maybe the little machine gun that hangs down, if that's something DeAg doesn't provide. So it will be more pick and choose, but I expect this to be a 90% stock build as far as parts are concerned.

I have seen some nice mods done on this site using just the factory cockpit parts that add a bit more detail but not going overboard. Considering most people won't be taking up close looks, its just not important for that level of detail. Plus I am the biggest Starwars geek out of most of my friend and family and they will just be impressed by its sheer size and could care less about details.

Actually the cockpit is the one I'm most likely to upgrade. I've seen a ton of people working on the interior sections and I feel like you'll either barely see them open and a lot of people didn't consider the angles that you can view it from so now half their work can't be seen without mirrors. The cockpit is the one section of the interior I plan on having on display at all times. I feel that the decals look kind of lame compared to most of the detail you see elsewhere. I've seen great 3d printed ones but I'm considering just getting some photo etched parts for the back wall and kit bashing some instrumentation onto the main control panel and removing that sticker as well. I'm also surprised that there isn't any levers coming from the overhead section of the canopy. Again, I might make my own but I've also seen some 3d printed solutions for this. I'm still uncertain how far I'll go with this or how much I'll be willing to spend. I'll worry about it when I get closer to completing the upper hull.
