I wish I got closer with the phone camera for the painting, but recording at 60fps really limits the focus so I have to pull back a bit. I switched to 30fps for the end segment so I could get a bit closer. Which would you prefer? 60fps, or closer at 30fps?

I love how that Chewie came out. The black and a brown works really well at this scale.

This is the most amazing model kit I've ever seen. And put together by the most capable of hands!

I'm really in awe of your figure painting skills. My attempts to paint 1/72 figures look like something from a bootleg Chinese toy factory.

Bandai makes outstanding model kits. It is great to see you got the chance to build the 1/72 Millennium Falcon. I can't wait to see the finished model.

About to start on my build. I’ve had this model for about 6 months now but did some smaller Bandai models to practice. I would highly recommended doing this because you learn a lot and this is a very expensive kit. My airbrush set up arrives today but I do already have experience with that as a commercial artist for the last 30 plus years. Now we do our airbrushing on a computer!!

I've got to say that these are the best painted figures I've seen for this kit 🖒😉

So huge! Looking forward to this build!

Really looking forward to the next episode, this is going to be epic!

Awesome job, Sam. I'm taking paint notes for I tackle my Falcon.

can't wait to get my own falcon, fantastic painting technique, thank you

🐸very good job ! I’m glade to see the next vidéo of your falcon !

Nice fig painting, damn they look good for being so small. Hyped for this series already

OOOO this is going to be a good build! Thanks for doing it.

This is awesome.🖒🖒 I'm happy you get to build this.

Excellent modelling skills, with excellent discipline. Well done mate

Been waiting for this PG, keep up the good work 😁👍🏻

love watching your vids, inspired me to pick up a few kits myself

That's some great looking figures right there! Another top video :D

dang i’m jealous! would love to get this kit :) those figures look incredible btw!

Superb work as ever. I am about to start the build myself so it will be great to be able to do it along side you.

Wow Great. You are building this!

Looking forwards to the next episode!

These look awesome man! I can't paint like you right now but i am getting some practice

Amazing job capturing all those details! You not only varied Chewie's hair, but varied it in the right areas the right way. If it's post trash compactor, I'd add a little more dirt lol. Just a tiny note - princess Leia's boots were white, not black (though they did have dark grey souls). Thanks for your videos!

Awesome start Sam!! America huh?? Gonna be a scary time packing it all up to send that far. Bring on the cockpit!!!

Really nice job painting those tiny figures! Leia's boots are actually white, though!

I love it, very well done! If I had to nitpick I'd say 3PO's silver leg is a bit TOO silver...in the OT you could barely tell that that leg was a different color than the rest of him. Maybe a coat of the clear yellow on top of the silver? I dunno, that's just a random thought, all in all excellent work and an entertaining vid as always!

very lovely nice model

You can paint 72 scale better than i could paint 12 scale lol. I think you could become a surgeon as a side hustle :D

Hey man awesome work im just wondering what brushes? are you using to paint the figures ?? do you have any affordable recommendations on good brushes ???

Cool

Looking forward to following along with the build. Will you be posting on Tumblr as well?

Nice work on those tiny figures! i was hoping you'd get to video a build of this kit. How many parts, do you think?

great videos! quick question when you pain the figures whilst on the spru doesnt it leave a mark on them when you trim them out

wow

The ASMR is strong

Great vid and awesome work, but no R2D2??? What were they thinking??? :-)

oh wow, i hadn't even heard of this. how big is it all completed?

Hola. Que tipo de pintura usas? Que tipo de pinceles? Y que colores?

Millennium Falcon is cool! I'm thinking of collecting star wars figure. However, I was surprised at this miniature crew. wahhh! minimum size!

Can you post links for the paints you use?

Just curious but why did you leave the figures on the sprue and prime them? Did you consider using a cork and some blu tack like you do later in the video? I've never been a fan of on sprue painting personally, too much hassle to get around edges and in my opinion doesn't help you get an idea of light flow around the model. Plus what with the sitting posture it would have been so easy just to take them off, file down the edges and do the nice clean paintwork without having to worry about going back over it later.

WA, yes, but, on the off chance this is still relevant, I'd consider one of those figures to be redundant; there is no point in the film where both Leia and Obi-Wan are on the Falcon at the same time.

great paintjob! May I ask why you used the vallejo AIR colors, instead of the normal vallejo paint? Are they better to paint small stuff? Or do you just use them because you had them anyway ?
