An RPF Open Source 5 ft Millennium Falcon Build/Reference Thread. All Are Welcome

[Necronaut]

So the seller cancelled my order saying it was no longer available. I think that warrants negative feedback.

There’s two up right now. Looks like the same background, different shot of the kit, but a SLIGHTLY different price…
The seller description for both talks about shipping to various countries including USA, but then says they can’t post tracking to USA due to COVID restrictions?

Added a few more kit scans to the first post and my site.

 

[jcoffman99]

Added the Hummel scan.

Refresh my brain. Did we say that all the mandible pits were 3.25" in diameter?

I want to cut some things at work today, but left my notes at home.

Inside of mandible pits (lower section) are 3.5", but upper openings are 3.25" at most.

Thanks. I'm going to cut some circles now.

Weekend goals.

Let’s play spot the mistake. Never model late at night after a long day.

The disc is too small?

 

[manugu]

The ‚rim‘ of the JagdTiger plate is missing/cut off now?

 

[jcoffman99]

Yep. Cut the lip off. Uggghhh.

Manugu helped me with this one. We believe the piece under the Kettenkrad is from the Munitions Carrier. Thoughts?

I buy it. Looks plausible, geometrically and spatially, and we know those Munitions Carrier hex nuts were used in other places on the maintenance pits, so totally believable from my perspective.

 

[jcoffman99]

Updated this guy.

 

[jcoffman99]

Big boy came today.

Is that a part from Tamiya Matilda inside the KettenKRad?

[jcoffman99]

Looks right to me. Great job.

 

[manugu]

This one is just a very wild guess, I don’t know the scale of the M60 part relative to the others. But it‘s the best I found so far:

Trying to find some bargins on ebay today and picked up a 2nd 1:24 Mustang for only 50 bucks. Pretty happy with that one.

What has been your best score on a model?

Back several years ago (2004-ish) someone was selling "plane parts, with four damaged RR tank cars, missing wheels" and thus, I scored 95% of a Revell XSL-01 full stack for $25.00. Over time, I've scored some great buys thru pure luck, but that one is still my best score!
