1/72 Millennium Falcon

That looks a very nice kit Brian. Off to a great start. The figures are a real good addition.

i also love the figures but whers R2D2 ?

For some reason (most likely no where to put him) he wasn't included, was he even on the falcon in a new hope?

I can get a 3D printed 1/72 scale but where would I put it? (external?)

If there’s one character that’s easy to scratchbuild, it’ll be R2D2: take some plastic rod, round off the top with a file, add two legs from plastic strip, paint — done.

But yes, where to put him? I don’t offhand recall a scene with him in the cockpit, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be there, of course.

Did a bit more this morning........



Tried to capture the amount of detail, it really is impressive.



got to paint this before the cockpit goes in, don't want a load of overspray in there.
