So a couple questions: What are it's dimensions? What was the total cost of it? And does it come weathered like that, or did you paint it?
@Plasticstarwars 3 күн бұрын
@@RyanByrne999 it’s 1/43 scale and 3 feet in size. The same dimensions as the filming model. Back then it was a 100 issue magazine subscription over the course of 24 months. The total cost then was around $2k. Minus the time, effort and paints you will have to put into it because it’s a kit. Sounds like a lot but it’s still at least 5 times cheaper than the Master Replicas Falcon. Having it paid in installments helps. You can Google for more info on it.👍😊

Very nice. Thinking back to the movie, the model is all wrong. In the opening scenes of the discovery, bowman is running around the inside of the front circular section. That would make the inside about 20 meter in diameter.

@stevenwilliams7905 3 ай бұрын
Nice modifications! I LOVE the cockpit mod and I may do it at some point. I am almost finished a few mods I am doing on mine, just waiting on some parts to finish. The first one I did was to add a stepped 2x3 slope brick on the top where you added the grills. I thought it made the look much better without the exposed brick studs. Your idea is interesting too. The next mod I did was to cover all the exposed studs on the outside of the Ornithopter. When I built it I went “okay, this is cool” but after a few days the exposed studs started to bug me. Adding some flat topped panels onto the studs has give the ‘thopter a more streamlined look. I’m not sure about the dome pieces you added though. I see what you want but I’m thinking they aren’t quite the right thing to use. Still, great idea! Of course, like many others I have replaced most of the red connectors with black one and am considering doing the same with the orange ones and the red axels because they look out of place on this kit. Not sure why the designers went with these colours. Nice ideas and I’m going to definitely keep the cockpit mod in mind. I may rebuild this kit because I’m not happy with the wings movement at the moment so that will give me a chance to do the cockpit.
