The Duke's Spaceport Launches the Falcon

Post by Duke Maddog »

After a good long time, my spaceport has finally launched another Sci-Fi starship. Another? you ask. Yes, I also completed a Star Wars Y-wing, an Imperial Star Destroyer, an Eagle I transporter from Space 1999, and the Babylon 5 space station.


This is my latest ship to be launched from here, the Finemolds 1/72 scale Han Solo's Millennium Falcon:

I didn't want to over grunge it so much, but I did want to show it as used and a bit of abused. Kinda "rode hard and put away wet" type of thing. I don't know how well I succeeded but I'm happy with this result so far. The crew seems to be happy enough to board, with a bit of persuasion from the Empire:

It's hard to see them, but Chewie and C-3PO are inside waiting for everyone to board:

Okay, it's off to the stars for me for awhile. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Love it! I need to find the vintage Millennium Falcon I did as a young teen.

Well done Mark - that looks excellent!

It must be a big beast in 1/72?

Thank you Tom! I'd love to see your Falcon!

Thank you Stuart! Yes, it's a big one: she measures around 20 inches (50cm) by 11 inches (27.9cm)

Thank you Kari!

Thank you Lyle! Yes she is!

Thank you Gary! I'm very happy with the way it looks.
