billyamy Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Thx joe Still in the top plate stage, may do the landing gear later. Day 15 Thinner the right mandible, keep mod the top plate but no pic, sorry!, ( actually. I am not satisfied of the top plate) Day 16 Lower the centre circle more Day 16 Keep mod the top plate and the slope. ( more round shape) Quote
jhaelego Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 This is coming along excellently. This would be a good mod to do in the meantime of not owning a UCS falcon. Quote
billyamy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 Day 16+n Change the cockpit to 30 degree + shorten the right mandible. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 It's coming along so far! I have plans to do this to my Falcon too, so this thread's good for inspiration! The reduced cockpit angle and mandible length are definitely a great improvement! Quote
Cyanide-Tipped Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 It keeps getting better and better with each change. :) Quote
Kristof Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 everythung great but these slopes with grille on the front. Those I think aren't accurate and also don't look exceptionaly well. Quote
billyamy Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Day 20-22 Try to add some details Quote
billyamy Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) everythung great but these slopes with grille on the front. Those I think aren't accurate and also don't look exceptionaly well. Yes! You are right. Day 23 Seems the bar on the mandibles are too thick Edited December 8, 2015 by billyamy Quote
Kristof Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Better and better and... better :D Great progress! Quote
Dameronian Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Totally awesome billyamy! I never imagined it would actually turn out this nice! Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 This is coming along swimmingly! Though it's not exactly still a modification! Quote
billyamy Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Thx for all the nice comments. Day 24 It takes me 2 hours for 2 little holes. Edited December 9, 2015 by billyamy Quote
Gouniaf Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 That is a real MOC. I mean, even without the step by step pictures, we can guess with just the last picture that you have spend a lot on time on your Falcon. I like the general shape, close to the original Falcon but with a personnal touch. This is a great job. Good luck ! Quote
billyamy Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 Day 25-26 Day 27 C for copy.. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 This is looking insanely good! I love how the engine looks! Quote
jhaelego Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) This is absolutely beautiful. Definitely a mod I'd want to do on my falcon. Is the interior still accessible? Edited December 12, 2015 by jhaelego Quote
Kristof Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Wow. To be honest when you started this topic, I didn't put my expectations high, thought this would be just another MOD which i'd commend and give thumb up but not really admire in the end. You already proved me wrong several 'days' before but now I can say this is excellent and trully mean it! Looking forward to another day - honestly, without overacting :) Quote
MilkPls69 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 You've done something I could never see myself doing this is astonishing. I would even dare say this looks to be the most detail accurate falcon out there. I love it can't wait to see more. Quote
billyamy Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Thx for all nice comments again. Day 28 Seems too much, may need to re-design tonight Quote
Dameronian Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) You make an excellent point billyamy. At some point, I tried to add every tiny correct detail to my old 7965. And guess what. All the greebling sat on top of the hull like a burger with double helpings of pickles, onions, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise... Adding lots of movie accurate details to a MF this scale doesn't work IMO. The details turn out garish and heavy handed, and distort those characteristic lines of the MF. So on my 75105 I decided to stay with out of the box greebling on top, thicken the mandibles, do the 2x4 wedge mod for the gaps, and some smoothing of the underside and a few mayor details. Less is more... Edited December 15, 2015 by Dameronian Quote
Robianco Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I think the modded Falcon looks great... but I'd beware of too much gruelling and detailing. At this scale the Lego bar can seem very thick and the detailing on the back of your Falcon may start to look a little 'steam-punk'. The reshaping and everything else you've done has enhanced the model into something approaching a miniature 10179 but I'd just think about thinning out those details on the back section... this may be a case of less is more.
