That and other thoughts after I purchased the lighting kit were the cause of my loss of mojo. Some pre-planning needed to be done in terms of the lighting and I really didn't know where to start. Before the kit got put on the shelf, I did one thing construction-wise that I can share.Stikpusher wrote:You may want to look into lining certain portions of the interior with foil or something similar to eliminate light bleed thru of gaps or thru the plastic. But this looks to have some serious potential for awesomeness!
Prior to starting, I referenced a few other Bandai Falcon builds. I would not have noticed this were it not for those builders. The ridge of raised details on the cockpit tube... notice the level of detail and how the features stand noticeably higher than the surface of the tube.
The ridge on the Falcon is less busy and does not stick out like the kit.
So I used a razor saw and carefully cut the ridge off.
This ridge can now be set lower so as not to protrude from the surface.
The piece is not glued into place because I wasn't sure if I needed wiring access to the cockpit tube. Not a perfect fix but I think it looks better.
