I saw the 5-Footer in an exhibition in Houston in 2011… it was jaw-dropping and so is this, mainly I would say for the absolute dedication and love for the subject, not to mention the innate skill required to achieve this level of accuracy… mind blowing 🤪👍🏻🤩
Thank you so much. I knew going into this that I wanted to strive for as much accuracy as possible & I am very happy with how it's turning out. A boyhood dream to build & see this become reality. The grail of Star Wars miniatures!.
Seeing this almost X-Ray view of the Five Footer is beyond impressive. I was 10 years old the first time I saw this ship and I'm still in awe of it today. Some excellent work here. Which is not saying enough. Thank you for sharing your work Sir. Hats off.
Great work and attention to detail, thankyou forsharing your videos with us, glad youare feeling better.May the force of Star Wars and model building be with you always!
Great work amazing ! t would be great to see the actuators actually move the vectoring thrust plates for the rear engine at this scale of around 1/24 because thats how the Falcon banks ,yaws ,pitch and rolls when in terrestrial and extra- terrestrial flight . EG: can be an extra feature when you light and put sound into the replica , showing the plates move could be in sync with engine idle and take off sounds ect , so far no body building M Falcons seem to have tackled it ? or even try to customise it on the very detailed smaller Bandi 1/72 , which apparently is the most accurate movie MF at the smaller 1/72 scale . In Episode IV im not sure you ever see these Vectoring thrust plates move or in any of the Star Wars movies with the Falcon , could this feature have been too time consuming for th prop builders ? and just not required for filming ? as G Lucas though you won't see it or notice if it was moving ? The first time we see the falcon fly is when it launches in hurry from the docking bay 94 on Mos Eisley , after a brigade of storm troopers try and stop the Falcon from leaving the launch Bay Area . We see a wide shot as the M Falcon takes off and the blue glow at the rear as the falcon banks and pitches skywards but no close up of these vectoring thrust plates adjusting to power inputs .
Looks amazing Stu! So close to the finish line, I can imagine how that makes you feel. Just wait until the paint is done! I can't wait for that update myself! Thanks for sharing your journey here on TH-cam! It gives me, and I'm sure many others great inspiration! P.S. How crazy did you go looking for the under armour part before you found it? That little nub on the left side sure looks the part. Awesome job!

Absolutely amazing mate, the fact you can id the thickness of the styrene is astonishing
Thanks mate. I just go with what I see, or think I'm seeing in ref.

Really coming together. How far off do you think you are? And what are going to do with it?
How long have you been collecting all the kits? Phenomenal dedication mate
Thanks man!. I started collecting for this Falcon build around 2010, but acquired virtually all of them around 2018.
Who would say you made up the kit part in the blast hole❓ If you put one there, it’s on the original 🤨
