Our Collective 5-Foot Millennium Falcon Build

You certainly have the skill & persistence needed to build a Studio Scale Falcon. Plus your generous support is greatly appreciated by those of us with a similar affliction due to this incredibly detailed model consisting of rare kit parts (now nearly impossible to acquire). Your hard earned knowledge will guide you through to a superb model similar to your Y-wing.

If you missed out on the F37 castings, PM me and I'll make more, but I think I covered everyone who was/is/has made a 5-foot Falcon.

Also, be CAREFUL when cutting your Koolshade for your engine vents -- if you're not balancing the 6 ridges and 7 slots perfectly, you end up with these imbalanced looking results:

Which is another way of saying: 4 Sale, 3 improperly cut engine-vent sized pieces of Koolshade, suitable for framing as a learning curve mistake, or for trimming down for other uses on the Falcon or Rebel Blockade Runner or other Sci-Fi project. PM me if interested. The three pieces alone, look like this:

If anyone ordered an F37 casting and didn't get it, PM me—I received one in my order by accident (thanks Read!). I'm happy to send it to anyone who needs it.

Off to a good home.

So you spend $300-500 for an original Aurora Sealab, and it gives you exactly ONE of these pieces:

And you realize you need EIGHT of them to do all the docking ring walkways (port, starboard, upper, lower: X2 each)

Did you know there's another one, hiding in plain sight, in the very same box?

It's this fella right here:

EXACT same length and width, on the square part, and EXACT same hole location, as seen by this superimposition:

So then you just chop, chop, chop:

And then you lay styrene square strip down in the right place, and viola, you can't tell the difference:

And boom, just like that, you've cut your Sealab costs in half if you're building in "all-original" Falcon...

Now I know what you're thinking: "What about the little pin holes?"

Next post...
