Coming along nicely.. But now you really can say that you put a piece of yourself into the model!!! LOL.. PS: That always hurts like a bugger!!! But really it looks amazing,, luv the diffusion with a milk carton....

Right gang, I'm back on board the Falcon Scotts sent me some resized Ozzy graphics that I'm going to use for the gunner well walls, here they are just put on there for size:

And I also blacked out the interior for the lights and tested my primer (Hycote Bumper Spray) and it seems to have cured fine.....

 

[Jaitea]

This will look EPIC!!

[JohnSimmons]

Hope so J!
Anyway I got this gunner well all done, old 1/48 Tamiya Pilot did the job for the Rebel gunner:

All complete with the help of Scotts re sizing of Ozzys graphics (thank you Jaitea who also sent me the link)

Thanks guys, a bit of a rubbish photo but the Falcon is all buttoned up now! It's a real turning point to the build and there's a lot of gaps etc to be filled with greeblies and pipes etc but it's almost ready for primer...

Looking awesome Johnny! Can't wait to see it all in primer... oooooooo,... primer!

 

[Jaitea]

Cool John,...nice warm lights

Haha what a grump. Stuck in the turret all this time...

I'm surprised you can hold that thing up with one hand!!

He does look like he's not happy... either that or he's constipated!

 

[JohnSimmons]

lol I think he's just seen the radar dish fly past his head and he's wondering if he's next.
Added some greeblies to differentiate the two side walls (they come as a pair) and added some other parts from the spares box to hide some gaps. It's quite theraputic actually!
Apologies for the messy photos, I don't have the space or time to set this up properly, when the painting starts I'll make more of an effort lol

 

[nicholassagan]

Nice little touches there.

 

[Jaitea]

I'm genuinely excited to see this bird painted
