Terrible Millennium Falcon kit; decent results

 

 

The remote switch ended up not working. I used a motion detecting switch from Evan Designs 

 

 

 

 

 

Since the kit and my scratch built detailing don't really match any screen-specific version of the Falcon, I'm going to say this version is post Solo: A Star Wars Story, but pre-Star Wars (A New Hope for the kids). So it'll have a little of the blue stripes from Lando, and the quad guns will be "recently installed" thus some primer color on the underside gun emplacement.  

I've got the thing painted finally, and I've started the weathering. I'm officially tired of looking at it, so hopefully I can get it done soon. 🙂 

 

A little Republic leftover to patch the Falcon 

Pro tip: don’t leave Micro Mask on your clear parts for almost two years if you ever want to get it off. I’m going to make new cockpit pieces and clean the gun station glass.  

While the clear part is off getting cleaned here’s a close up of the scratch built gun bays.  

Almost there . . . weathering on one side is done. 

 

 

The figures were terrible BUT with an improved cabin and some lights it was ok 

I scratch built the interiors of the gun pods but it was really hard to see when all buttoned up 

An added armor plate scavenged from a Republic cruiser 

Battery cover houses the motion sensors (the two hemispherical protrusions) 

Two 9V run the two circuits
