Very good brush work, would live to of seen how you painted your control panels etc, great video series, and so true about tweezers!

Thanks! I haven’t been able to find a way of filming that fine detail. It’s just a case of a fine brush, good magnification and a steady hand. I’ve seen your paintwork, I have nothing I can teach you!

Dear God! Thank you for posting this series. I'm about to begin and I'm gonna follow your work. I also loved when Chewie flew off to the side! I thought that only happened to me. I've lost SO MANY PARTS!!!

Happy to help. I don’t think I actually lost anything from this build, just temporarily misplaced. 😁

Thanks. No plans to get the 1:72 one at the moment though!

Your detail painting is like these micro figures are 1/48 not 1/144. I don't think I can get close to where you did with the cockpit painting 👌👌👌

Good magnification and a steady hand is all you need!

The bandai last jedi falcon has english and japanese in the manual, the build should be similar so if you can get a hold of it online it might help.

Good to know, thanks. Most of the time it’s fine, it just worries me when something is highlighted and I don’t know why!

What coloured paint do you use for highlighting the console and back of the cockpit

@GrossModels Жыл бұрын

Sorry, I don’t remember. It was probably just a chrome or gun metal for drybrushing?

Do you have a video of your parts holders and bases? If not what did you use for your bases?

@GrossModels 6 жыл бұрын

The holders are foam, just crocodile clips on the top of cocktail sticks or kebab skewers depending on the size.

Chris, Mech9 has translated many of the Bandai SW kit instructions. You can get the Falcon's instructions here: www.mech9.com/2016/07/1144-millennium-falcon-force-awakens.html

Great, thanks. Most of them are easy to follow but it’s always nice to check!
