Very nice update.

Certainly a lot of masking and detail work on such a large model.

Hope you are having great fun building this one

It did seem to help. I mixed red with just a dab of red brown as well, as plain red it just to red.

Can I ask what paint you used for the yellow panel shade?

OK. So as you've probably seen earlier in my posts, when I cut out the hold floor for the hatch to be open, I printed out a picture of the space from a still grab from the movie.






I had also done that for the circuit bay door area, but then created a little circuit bay room with a light in it. Well, I've decided I wanted to try to create a real area under the hold floor hatch. So I started with some styrene sheet and tube.









OK. Then added a couple little greeblies cut from (again) my old MPC falcon kit.











At this point, I was just gonna add some more little stuff and just paint the bottom, but then I realized one of the upper hull recesses fit under the floor hatch. So I cut it down and added it under my styrene sheet.















Then sprayed black, and then detailed and weathered.











A test under the floor....










Then lit.





















Now the only question is going to be whether or not this will fit in the Falcon when it's placed inside. If not, I can always resort back to my photograph. HOWEVER, I still have not decided whether or not the hold will be displayed separately. But still plenty of time to figure it all out. But I really like the way it turned out. Adds some nice depth and reality to it.

That,s looks fantastic, and well presented from start to finish. Not much different from the movie picture to the finished look. I would be very pleased with that myself.

Very impressive indeed.

Unpainted the part is difficult to understand but seeing it all painted and weathered it looks brilliant. Very well done

Looking great!

Just curious, what weathering are you planning for the Hull? You going to do the tooth brush method like Steve Dymszo or doing something else like pastels or oils?

Really love your solution to the floor pits. Very nicely done and very effective bro! One thing I hate to admit to is that the insignia white just doesn't look right as a base for the falcon. Maybe it's just me thou.

I founds Insignia White to be a great base for further layers, although it seems too pale without adjustment. I mixed a few different shades of hull colour, and those - with all the streaks and blots that cover the surface - darken it considerably. I ended up building a few layers of colour with an airbrush before the grey and red panels were applied, plus washes of blue, grey or brown in the recesses between hull plates.

Hi colson
Your paintwork on the millennium falcon is excellent, your doing a fantastic job on her. I think your a big inspiration to the members of this forum who are building this beast of a ship " including myself ".

Good luck.
