Heavily Modified YT-1300

[JohnSimmons]

Symmetry looks cool. Just start gluin and greebling otherwise as you say this will turn into a huge undertaking and loose its fun.

 

[Junkie]

Exactly. As it stands all I have to do is modify the tounge on the lower half and I'm good to go.

So I think I'll just go. This is different enough and that's that.

Tomorrow I will pick up a few 'for rent' signs. They are cheap and heavy plastic and will work well for the sidewalls. I will shorten them then greeblie it up.

shaping up!

SACRELIGIOUS POST !!!!!

;D ;D ;D
Scott, I really like FIVE as well but, looking back at TWO, there's something really cool and mean looking to it.
My vote goes for TWO!

Cheers

This is something like it:



There is the pointy Star Destroyer mash-up

Oh yeah Jaitea! That's wicked man. Using the Stap engines. Brilliant. I have a kit that can be used, gonna go dig it out.

I love that different dish too. Gonna do that.

...is that your build there. I should know but I'm not sure. I looks great. Love the way that rear end looks. Gonna do something like that.

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks Scott, yeah that build is mine but it's on hold at the minute till I get the Big MPC & McQuarrie Falcons out of the way, the dish I was thinking of was like the Blockade Runner one & mounted on the centre line like your Version 5

This is a great thread Scott

Did I mention I like the Millennium Falcon?

John, did you just mockup that image or find it somewhere? Just wondering if it's a design that exists outside of this thread.

PS: The McQuarrie is shaping up awesomely.

Yeah the dish ala blockage runner is the ticket. I just found a pair of STAP thrusters and an armor kit that will give it's life for this build. Lots of greeblies in there. Plus a Tamiya King Tiger rear deck is on death row.

I really appreciate the brainstorm. If you happen to join this thread, post now, feel free to jump in. We're just getting started.

I really appreciate the creativity and unconventional thinking here at SMA. I think all these designs would make great builds in their own way. Really looking forward to seeing this one progress!

 

[JohnSimmons]

We have the Falcon modding guru on board! ;D

Thanks man. It's great to have a community of like minding folks, artists. Pretty cool.

Yup, we sure do.

Cool. Thanks for doing that.

Thanks MJ for doing that earlier too.

Looks cool,it will be one nifty looking falcon build when finished.

 

[Junkie]

Thanks Java.

Before my 'chicken' nuggets and fries I played with a knife. It was shiny. I like that.

Rear deck... adios amigo. Two engine sitting on the front there. I think I'll use four, I have em.

Chopped the tounge and removed the rear thruster flaps.

I also snipped the vertical stubby locators since I'll be scratching sidewalls. I think the demolition phase is over. Time to rebuild it.

 

[Grendels]

I like where this is going. Should be fun to watch!

 

[Junkie]

Thanks G! I'm just waiting for Q to show up and say: "Looks like I"m late to the party again!"

 

[JohnSimmons]

You don't hang around! looking great man, can't wait to see those engines installed!

 

[Grendels]

Thanks G! I'm just waiting for Q to show up and say: "Looks like I"m late to the party again!"

LOL! I almost said that....

 

[Jaitea]

It's looking great Scott
