Wish I found this earlier. Something I've learned from creating my own rendition of the DeAgostini 42" ESB Falcon is that surprisingly the Falcon does actually have yellow panels in places mixed in with the cream colored panels. I found this out by chance and ironically it was while detailing the dorsal turret's port side panel. It caused me to go back and look harder at it's original models through photos online and other references, which after a maddening two years of research led me to tell which were fake and which were real. Modeller Magic has been and is a really good resource. Now for the disturbing part. I felt Insignia White was too glossy for my tastes so I had actually settled for Titanium Silver for a more metallic look. I can hear it now. "You destroyed that Falcon!" and yet, when it was all finished, I'm actually quite happy with the results. I cheated though, I tested it out first on a $50 Bandai 1/144 kit.
This looks an incredible build, you’re very talented and patient to make this look so life like. Next time I go to Japan I’m looking for some Star Wars kits.
Thank you. You have assembled a realistic millennium falcon. I like the attention to detail even in the areas that are not seen. The not so random, random dents and life scars were well spaced and oriented. Looks great.
I used to love modeling. Back in the 80's I had a subscription where I got a new, random model every month. I had the best parents ever. At one point, the subscription stopped; they started sending me the same model every month. This model you built, so beautiful.
I've used water pencils in the past and I find them more limited than oil paints, I can achieve much more varied effects of streaks with oils. Although using both methods at the same time works well too
The detail in that model is phenomenal and your paintwork has made it all pop! Makes me want to watch some of the movies again as I never noticed that much detail.
I just heard about and supported a petition to save Star Wars toy designer Mark Boudreaux who designed the Kenner Millennium Falcon spaceship. Laura Lee Anguilar started it 4 weeks ago and provided the following details. Mark Boudreaux is currently at the Bethesda North Hospital in Ohio, having been there for over a year on a ventilator as treatment for covid, which "appears to contradict every health care standard when it comes to ventilator use." (as reported by the Epoch Times article, 'Star Wars Toy Designer's Galactic Battle over Covid ventilator use' - March 9, 2023) Mark is in a catch-22 here, as the extreme amount of time on the ventilator has destroyed his lungs, causing him to require a lung transplant that he is not eligible for because of the destruction of his lungs and health as a consequence of his treatment at Bethesda North. This beloved toy designer and his wife have exhausted every avenue of assistance in their cause, except for their fellow Americans who can come alongside them to put a spotlight on the parties that can alleviate the suffering of their patient. There oath requires that 'first, they do no harm' - but if they fail in their oath, they should do everything in their power to restore the health that their actions and protocols have diminished. This man wants to live! In appreciation for all he has done for us through his talent and designs, let us help him to truly enjoy the rest of his life as a healthy human being again. We petition Bethesda North to seek every avenue possible in providing Mark Boudreaux with the lung transplant he needs to live. At the moment, we only need 443 more signatures to reach the next goal. Please chip in $2 to distribute this petition or share with one other person instead by copying the link via Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Email, or Messenger.
Wonderful work! Bandai are really good at making a quality kit just on snap-building usually without any sanding or modification. But I definitely agree with you that I'd love to see them tackle real life vehicles. They're currently experimenting with dinosaur models.
I built one of these a couple years ago. Best model I have ever worked with. I wish it was a bit more affordable as I’d love another chance to build one.
For nearly most of the video I was seriously concerned Princess Leia was going to end up as the pilot. I'm glad you corrected this before the ending. Nice work!
It really is life changing when you go to Bandai. If anything it tarnished my view a little on my favourite western brands because there really is nothing stopping them from going the same route. It's like you say about putty -- the only time I EVER have to use putty on bandai is for the occasional fuck up on my part
Fantastic job. Tip: you can take white LED's and dip them in clear paints to change their color. Also liquid electric tape works great to stop light leaks.
Extremely nice work. One thing I used to do for "Blast Spots" was just a lil Powder from a Fire Cracker. Id sprinkle a lil bit on, put a Lighter to it real quick and in a 1 second flash, nice little Burned In blast point.
I am just venturing into the world of models beyond lego and have recently build my first gunpla and loved it and found out about these Star Wars models and rlly want to collect some
Beautiful build! I loved what you said about there not being one right way to do certain things. I like watching different build videos to get ideas. There are so many creative ways to build, paint, light models etc. Thank you and all the model builders out there who truly inspire the model community!
That's the dogs nuts.. I'd be soooo tempted to do a diorama with this or maybe a rotary stand that turns it on a tilted angle so you get all sides. The astroid scene with the giant worm would look amazing
Awesome build🤌👏 fun bit of trivia, for a while in the legends version of SW the falcon was actually painted black. It was allegedly done for camouflage, but as something very bad had just happened, there may have been other motives as well.
You can use glass for photo etch. You just want to use a chisel tip blade. Paragrafix recomends this as easier cut the parts out then just clean up with a file if needed.
Love this vídeo, thanks a lot to make it. Share with my kids who are in the Warhammer universe and star wars too. And is like watch and learn and be amazed for the model and the love and knowledge you put in the work. Finally I have to mention that that this work ( painting, dry brush, etc) is well applicable to any ship of the rebellion as well. (P.D. Sorry if my English is not good, I'm proudly from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷. Wish you the best, and may the Force still keep on you!
the thing you said about expanding into other subjects, had exactly the same thought earlier, i'd love some aircraft, and other vehicles, kits from them. just bought my first Bandai kit, an A-wing, cant wait to start!
Es todo un reto cuanto tiempo y pasiencia para llar a este resultado felicidades exelente trabajo es la nave que mas me gusta de estas peliculas todo mi respeto y admiracion .un saludo desde mexico cd
While im impressed and learnt a lot just watching this video, i actually didnt think there were decals. I thought you did that your self... If, i had been outmost impressed!
That was an incredibly enjoyable thing to watch thank you so much The detail and work you put into it is truly amazing .. Good luck topping that on your next project
Wow! I really love the way this model turned out, what a beautiful job. I’m in the process of doing a similar model and just like to what oils and clean coats of paints you use to achieve this look. Some advice would greatly be appreciated. Again great job 👏🏽
Not sure why this was in my recommended vids, but enjoyed it very much. My son has built a number of the smaller star wars Bandaid models but we have not done the extra level of detail you have. Amazing work! Nice tip regarding the makeup sponge and decals. Those have always been a problem for me.
I made mine looking like it's totally condemned lol weathered it too much ! This is spot on ....looks like its flown just a few years compared too mine

Thanks. I just meant a list would be easier than having to go back and watch again and take notes.
@@TheRuizsByTim I could probably put together a list of everything I used at some point in the future, I too would have to rewatch the whole video.
18:29 nice choice of music I believe that was Star Trek J J Abrams theme. Great modeling my friend. Love the patience.....
I think you have successfully captured the nostalgic "What a piece of junk!" feeling of the Falcon. Bravo!
I am snickering with sentimental tears right now.
Absolutely awesome work, well presented and so relaxing and satisfying to watch. I hope you’re proud of your build, you definitely should be!

He did such a great job!
The Force is strong with your modeling skills. What an incredible job. Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Han and Chewie would be proud.

At one point, the subscription stopped; they started sending me the same model every month. This model you built, so beautiful.
Beautiful work! *chef's kiss*
One of my biggest regrets was that I didn't get into modelling as a kid (when my eyesight was better).
Thank you for showcasing the model. You have good instincts for what works and what doesn't. Bravo on the build. You did an amazing job.
Just a tip for future on streaking use water pencils for the streaking trust me the effect is brilliant aged and to scale you will never go back
I've used water pencils in the past and I find them more limited than oil paints, I can achieve much more varied effects of streaks with oils. Although using both methods at the same time works well too
The detail in that model is phenomenal and your paintwork has made it all pop! Makes me want to watch some of the movies again as I never noticed that much detail.
As close to perfection as possible.
Next - Star Destroyer?

Wonderful work! Bandai are really good at making a quality kit just on snap-building usually without any sanding or modification.
But I definitely agree with you that I'd love to see them tackle real life vehicles. They're currently experimenting with dinosaur models.
Bandai would never do real life military model. Tamiya and Hasegawa fill that market and it is very fierce.
totally agree! bandai should definitely do other things than anime and sci fi
Not into hobby modeling and I couldn't stop the video!!
This is a model I have wanted for years, but finding a quality one I can afford, has proven difficult. Nice video!
I built one of these a couple years ago. Best model I have ever worked with. I wish it was a bit more affordable as I’d love another chance to build one.
Totally amazing!!! Outstanding work! It really looks like It was real. I hope I can do such a good job, too, on mine model kit
For nearly most of the video I was seriously concerned Princess Leia was going to end up as the pilot. I'm glad you corrected this before the ending. Nice work!
It really is life changing when you go to Bandai. If anything it tarnished my view a little on my favourite western brands because there really is nothing stopping them from going the same route. It's like you say about putty -- the only time I EVER have to use putty on bandai is for the occasional fuck up on my part
This was awesome. I got to say I did kinda dig the flat black murder out Falcon.
Awesome build, weathering is great. They say less is more
Generally, although the Falcon is the perfect model to use oil paints for weathering and staining the hull a bit.
Fantastic job. Tip: you can take white LED's and dip them in clear paints to change their color. Also liquid electric tape works great to stop light leaks.
This is so beautiful. Love your build and your technique, definitely a piece of art.
Extremely nice work. One thing I used to do for "Blast Spots" was just a lil Powder from a Fire Cracker. Id sprinkle a lil bit on, put a Lighter to it real quick and in a 1 second flash, nice little Burned In blast point.

Amazing work, weathering techniques are awesome. Thanks for making this video
Excellent work
Wow incredible job man
Great Build. Really like your approach. The Dune music was a nice touch...LOL
That's the dogs nuts.. I'd be soooo tempted to do a diorama with this or maybe a rotary stand that turns it on a tilted angle so you get all sides. The astroid scene with the giant worm would look amazing
The force is with you!
excellent work...just excellent...
Very cool! Stumbled onto your channel after Adam Savage’s Tested finished. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦
Thanks for posting this video. Great hints and tips.
I'm now really looking forward to building mine.
Incredibly beautiful!! It's most definitely a museum quality master work of art. Simply gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Have a great day.
Fantastic! Those tiny decals were insane. Wish I had the patience or the skill to build something like this. Well done!
So cool. Now I'm painting a 1/58 scale Millennium Falcon.
Wow,was this 3d printed?
Bad A..!!!!! Really nice work on the Millenium Falcon!!!!!
500 pounds now ...dam ! Great job !
Very pretty cat! Nice work! :)
Awesome build🤌👏 fun bit of trivia, for a while in the legends version of SW the falcon was actually painted black.
It was allegedly done for camouflage, but as something very bad had just happened, there may have been other motives as well.
This video is so pleasant to see! For me, more effective for relaxation than rain sounds and woods lanscapes. Awesome work!! Congrats from Chile
For future reference tip the best way for streaks is water color pencils in yellow and browns
Very nice!.. Hans Solo would be pleased with the outcome! 👍🇳🇿
Wow Amazing work
A true work of art. Thank you for sharing the creation of this beautiful piece. The sheet of decals gave me a panic attack. LOL.
wow so nice work !
Love your technique will follow exactly to the water when I’m to my monos specialist I Star Wars
Wow. Fantastic work. Great Millennium Falcon. Greetings Aleš from Czech Republic 😎👌
Wow, nice ship.
It looks you had fun with this model. It turned out fantastic. Nice 👍
Impressive most Impressive
Absolutly spectacular 💪💪💪 attention to detail is 11/10 😱
a modell arist at work...wow...well done...nice video...all thumbs up
You can use glass for photo etch. You just want to use a chisel tip blade. Paragrafix recomends this as easier cut the parts out then just clean up with a file if needed.
look much better than my. Glued in couple hours 1995. but look great.
Love this vídeo, thanks a lot to make it. Share with my kids who are in the Warhammer universe and star wars too.
And is like watch and learn and be amazed for the model and the love and knowledge you put in the work. Finally I have to mention that that this work ( painting, dry brush, etc) is well applicable to any ship of the rebellion as well. (P.D. Sorry if my English is not good, I'm proudly from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷. Wish you the best, and may the Force still keep on you!
Piękny model.
Posiadam dwa w skali 1/144 i mocno zastanawiam się na zakupem większego.
1:1?)
Excellent paint job.
the thing you said about expanding into other subjects, had exactly the same thought earlier, i'd love some aircraft, and other vehicles, kits from them. just bought my first Bandai kit, an A-wing, cant wait to start!
That is a beautiful build man, and very relaxing to watch
I like the clear blue on the engines . Thanks for the tip, I have this model and I'm really looking forward to building it.
That’s awesome! You deserve a job at ILM.
Inspiring... perfect balance of effort for outcome.
Brilliant effort & result.
Hi from Sydney, Australia
Nice build kerb
That's great. absolutely well done :) Modelling has it all. Building, precision, satisfaction and therapeutic value....
such a great video. I'd love to one day see you build one of bandai's gundam models because if you pick the right one they can be extremely impresive.
a good peice of advice is only glue to remove seamlines. Gunpla in larger scales tends to have heavy articulation so glue is a bad idea.
Es todo un reto cuanto tiempo y pasiencia para llar a este resultado felicidades exelente trabajo es la nave que mas me gusta de estas peliculas todo mi respeto y admiracion .un saludo desde mexico cd
I learned a simple trick once to covering up any mistake you may do when constructing a model. Just say it's battle damage =P
Nice. I don’t have the patience or dexterity for the painting details, but well done, my young Jedi.
Good job.
While im impressed and learnt a lot just watching this video, i actually didnt think there were decals.
I thought you did that your self... If, i had been outmost impressed!
Ein absulut detailirtes und lackiertes Modell . Top 👍
That was an incredibly enjoyable thing to watch thank you so much
The detail and work you put into it is truly amazing ..
Good luck topping that on your next project
Excellent video good sir. Thanks for putting this out.
Wow! I really love the way this model turned out, what a beautiful job. I’m in the process of doing a similar model and just like to what oils and clean coats of paints you use to achieve this look. Some advice would greatly be appreciated. Again great job 👏🏽
love the attention to detail!
Nice, very nice indeed.
A lot of work but it’s comes out fantastic. Well done. Look forward to other projects from you. Thank you for sharing.
16:46 looked like you were holding a miniature lightsaber there for a sec
Great vid. Would be helpful if you included a list of the products you used. Always looking for ideas.
Would love if the YT-2400 ever had a shot for a PG. I’d go hard into doing this exact process with it
I subscribed because of Fishy lol great video thanks
Great job! Enjoyed watching you build her. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice work fella. A pleasure to watch.
Looks really awesome. Thanks for sharing
G’day mate, thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.
It gave me food for thought.
Take care and keep on building!
Not sure why this was in my recommended vids, but enjoyed it very much. My son has built a number of the smaller star wars Bandaid models but we have not done the extra level of detail you have. Amazing work! Nice tip regarding the makeup sponge and decals. Those have always been a problem for me.
Amazing!! Beautiful work! The music towards the end sounds like Dune(1984); nice choice.
Fantastic work and great video, thanks friend!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...
Amazing build. It’s a true work of art.
I loved that ship from day one, in the 70' but I'm too scared, so many parts. I haven't build one in almost 50 years
Bravo, thank you for sharing. Great job! 👍
Beutifull work. I would buy that finished piece of art.
I made mine looking like it's totally condemned lol weathered it too much ! This is spot on ....looks like its flown just a few years compared too mine
