Revell Millennium Falcon Easi Kit

[delmonteman]

Happy new year, all. I thought I'd get back into the swing of things with a simple one & after seeing the new Star Wars film, there was only one thing I could build!


The plan was/is to chuck this together and completely repaint it (it comes prepainted). I had it built in about 10 minutes, masked up the windows and gave it a good coat of primer. Got the airbrush out and tried some preshading (for the first time)

A mix of Vallejo Medium Sea Grey and Light Sand looked about the right colour and went on nicely enough. Had a quick play with some old wash I found, on the dish.

It's a nice kit. It's just a bit too simple! I did have a look for a "proper" one but couldn't find anything without spending STUPID money.


I've added the odd red & grey panel and given it all a wash. Hopefully going to remove most of the wash, tonight.

And after. Maybe a bit too heavy. I need more staining around the exhaust ports (or what I am assuming are exhaust ports) and some chipped paint (should have thought of that earlier, really!)

Could I ask a favour please, Ade? I got my kit cheap off Flea-bay and it doesn't come with the panel at the back that I'm assuming is blue. Is it, literally, a piece of thin blue plastic?

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

The kit I have is blue, though thinking back to when I built the actual kit in the 80's it was clear so the lights couls show though. Also I'm sure the light from the engines is mainly white with a blue tint on the edges? I may be wrong its been a while since I sat and watch the films.


Here's the engine piece from my kit.






Hope this helps
