Its a real shame you won't get this finished, it's definitely a winner in my book.

It's really looking fantastic, top work

Agreed!!

 

[Quaralane]

I like the look of those nozzles. Makes me wish I'd had some like that for the Harlot.

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks very much guys

Quaralane, I got those metal thrusters from AV phono plugs which comes with two sizes of those little bells (they are part of the cable strain reliefs which are pushed onto the springs):

Your Falcon looks great!
I really really really dig the Radar dish!
You are rocking this one Hard!
;D ;D

 

[JohnSimmons]

Mate this is looking soooooo good, that dish is gorgeous! You'll have this done by the deadline no worries!

 

[Grendels]

Keep at it, I would love to see this one done!

 

[Solander]

Man, I LOVE your work with this freighter!
The dish is a gem, and thanks a lot for sharing the tip about the jack's usage, I will keep that in mind
P.S.: thrilled with the news about the OT-era cartoon as well. Looks like that after George's going away, we might expect some really long-awaited content to appear. Still hope, however, that Fillony and crew would air the last done episodes of Clone Wars they had been making for the sixth season some way, as there are several unfinished storylines there I would like to see finished 8)

 

[Quaralane]

Loving where you're at. Your paint teases are looking good

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks very much for the comments guys, the deadline is looming!!!

I got the engine bells in (still a bit of tweaking to do to them):





Thanks for looking
J

 

[Grendels]

Those things (The engine bells) Look great!

 

[Tailor]

[JohnSimmons]

Lovely!! Really elegant like most of Ralph's work.
