A Tale of Two Falcons


Uncarina

Recommended Posts

Carl,

 

I must yield to the superior plushness! I shared a Shapeways link to the same figures. They look amazing, and it is indeed the price holding me back, which I know is funny considering the cost of the kit! For the 1/144 build the Green Strawberry photoetch worked perfectly, and I used Quickshine (a Future floor polish alternative) to attach. One challenge is that the parts are not keyed, so I had to line them up by eye.

 

Cheers, Tom

Tom,

 

I missed your link originally so didn't realize I was posting the same thing. There's a member over on Britmodeler who has them and says they're really nice but not to bother with C3P0 as the kit version is just as good.

 

Thanks for the heads-up on the PE fit. It's always great to hear from those who get to be trail blazers.

what kit # was your 1/144 one?

They both look amazing!

Shawn, thank you! Here is a link for the kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014VTPQ22/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

For some reason this is listed as $30 more than the price I paid in mid-November. Hopefully you can find it cheaper.

 

Cheers, Tom

Carl, no worries! Thanks for the feedback; those figures would be nice. I'm glad to share any info about these builds; your previous work has been a great reference for me.

Tom,

Great info as always and I'm glad i can help.

 

I just found this link which shows Bandai is going to come out with a less expensive version of the PG Falcon.

It looks like they're leaving out the lights and maybe the PE.

Carl, I saw this as well. Hopefully this will allow more people to start building and sharing their work on this remarkable kit. I've been watching this for some great info: https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=262348
