Welcome to Lugnet!
I'll reserve my comments on the other SW customs because I can't see well
enough with the photos but they sure look wonderful from a blurry point of
view. Hope you get those digi pics soon!
But the Millenium Falcon. Wow! I have seen your folder and have been
wondering about it since it got onto brickshelf, since nobody posted about
it. From what I can see, it is QUITE a model. The sheer size of it
impresses me but the details seem even more amazing. All the radar dishes
and little widgets on top of the falcon (not to mention the turret and all
the rest) really gets the image of the original falcon across-as a
spectacular piece of many-times repaired and loyal junk. The shape and
contours are also quite nice. I imagine a model of this size lets you
finesse those curves quite a bit even without big round pieces.
The interior is also quite nice...amazing that you kept the entire thing
pretty much in scale...all that room for the pilots, whiny Mark Hamill, etc.
I can't wait to see more clear digi pics...especially from some of the
neglected angles if you can manage it (back and bottom :) ). This is one
great piece of work.
On a side note...18 YEARS!!! How do you keep up a work in progress for 18
years?! I can't decide if that's more or equally amazing as the model
itself :) Welcome indeed!

| Thanks for the comments, Luke! I'm glad you enjoyed the pics, and I promise there will be better ones coming, and I will also place the ship on a table to get views from all sides. I would like to actually "finish" the interior and rear underside (...) (22 years ago, 13-Aug-02, to lugnet.starwars)
