Meanwhile you are making great progress! I on the otherhand still need to create a proper working space before I can begin ... this may be a while, hence reading and researching other FM 1/144 threads

Cracker's 1/144 Finemolds Millennium Falcon Asteroid Field Diorama (3D)
Bit the bullet and grabbed the burger-sized space burger. There should be a way to fix the jawboxes and parallel mandibles. Swing them in a bit (and put up with the resulting slanted plating which should be barely noticeable. I should be able to live with it. It's the sillhouette that's driving...

Sure is
you nailed it
Interesting aside in that pic is it highlights how wrong the front mandible area shapes and proportions are
I love Fine Molds details. in some ways more than Bandai's as they feel more in scale with panel lines and other thins, but they sure took some liberties with shapes

Do you know where I can find a 3D printed rectenna dish for this model? I lost the one on my second 1/144 model.

You could try Shapeways look under '308 Bits' by Tony RR 'YT1300 FM 1/144 Radar Dish and go for the more expensive Clear Ultra Fine Detail Plastic, Tony offers a slightly larger more accurate 24.6 mm rectenna, this is an upgraded version of the FM 1/144 Falcon radar dish and has been designed matching the details of the original movie model. It's highly detailed. And he also offers a smaller 20 mm one, which has the same dimensions as the original FM 1/144 scale.
Do not go for the cheaper tan fine detail plastic ... it's more brittle and can give problems when painted over with a lighter colour ... the tan seems to come through your paintjob >.< which is not what you want.

P.S. Sorry but my Finemolds is still boxed up in my stash of model kits
