What did you use for the display stand?

Your model is fantastic! I should have lit mine up as well.

That Falcon looks great! Outstanding weathering and love the stand idea. Never liked drilling into a model to mount it. You should post a few pics on how you threw that stand together with the clear rod. Inquiring minds would like to know. ;D

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks again guys, I cant take credit for the stand though, I got a couple of them from http://www.flightpose.com/product/

Well way to go man, that's a beauty model. Proudly displayed in a nice display case, that's what I like to see! Excellent painting on that, it's not too little nor overdone.

how did I miss this?

the thing I love the most is the spattering. There are many awesome falcon builds out there but so rarely do people go the the levels of spatter that are needed.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks mate yeah I really wanted to replicate every spot of detail. I wanted to achieve a perfect studio replica (not 100% but good enough for me!). I'm ganna just have fun with my 1/144 falcon on the group build not going to be so anal about it.

 

[astroboy]

what is that second falcon in your pics? Do you have links to that as well?

 

[JohnSimmons]

That is the Fine Molds 1/144 Falcon. That's going to be stripped of paint and started again for the group build. Here's some pics of it (I was new to the hobby then and didn't really care about total accuracy)

Terrific job on this one, John. I think this is the best Falcon I've seen yet!

 

[JohnSimmons]
