DeAgostini Millennium Falcon Customized Build Pt 13 Cockpit and Mods 

Cockpits regardless of the subject are always the most detailed & satisfying

This level of detail is seriously blowing my mind...

Thank you so much for doing this. This is one of the best tutorial I have seen. Love it!!

been eagerly anticipating this vid. Glad it's not the final one!

Awesome work my friend, know I want to build something like that thanks for sharing this video series...

WOW AMAZING WOW

Those were both 2mm LEDs. I soldered either 270 or 390ohm resistors to them, then ran the wires to the rest of the board powering the whole model.

omg this art is amazing!

i love the Millennial Flamingo

Holy fucking shit this is extraordinary!!!

Absolutely amazing!!

Great build, great model, great video, and awesome with the backing music!!! Thanks!!!! Joke, what do you call Darth Vader using an airbrush? Darth Sprayer!!!! 🤮

You guys are getting crazy with these models. The detail is amazing!

a real cool "Blast shot" is powder from a fire cracker. Open it up and place it where/how you want it, place a lighter or match and POOF real quick you get a lil dent (melt) and some side burning. Did it to a ATST and looked pretty damn on point

I started my Falcon when they relaunched under the Fanhome label last year...and now I am terrified to do mine with having seen how NOT "accurate and ready to go" the kit actually is. Because I want to to this kit justice....but the last time I built a model and put serious work into was almost 30 years ago. I have sooooooooooo much to learn and try to do now. I'd almost pay you to build mine for me. lol

I realize what you're doing, but? Keep in mind this is about 1:43, close to 1:48 scale. I build a lot of airplanes 1:48.....pre-shading panel lines can be overdone. Yes, it looks good, when subtle. When I think of my models, I also consider distance and perspective to acheive a realistic appearance.

Those damage spots they build into the kit are truly bizarre, something of an afterthought in their design process probably. Sad really given the cost of the kit. But, part of building these models is customizing.

"impressive, most impressive"

Bit late to the party but you should check out the full size Falcon at Galaxy’s Edge, Disneyland. Wait till it goes dark then you will shit your pants ;)

Insane!!

hello sorry for the question, that lattice does not come with the original model, where did you get it?

I'd love to see someone modifying this model to make it look like it did in solo

Nothing like the filming miniature unfortunately 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi, Chris New here. Can you share the cockpit light additions? Roughly 8 mins in… two red led’s, resistor, power cord. I checked your blog spot page but didn’t see any information there. Would greatly appreciate it. Thaaaanks!

Hi just curious why you didn't install the glass?

AMAIZING JOB CHRIS!!!! Do you have published the pics or your progrees on Facebook? GREETINGS FROM MEXICO CITY!!!! P.S. I assembling my DeAgostini´s Millennium Falcon too, great tutorials!!!

holy boba !

The level of madness, I mean detail is beyond obsessive🤩. Crazy! Awesome Work!...

Hey I just started my falcon and I’m almost done with cockpit! I’m curious about what led flasher u used?

Looks amazing! Very well done AND explained/shown as well was helpful.

Really impressive workmanship. Thank you for some great ideas here.

I know this is going back a few years. You reference using the photos of the filming miniature, Where did you find them? I have had no luck. Can not trust what I am seeing on Pintrest

Unbelievable great! Chris you're a truly master!! Congrats!

That model build is super awesome but I can't imagine how many hours it took you. My hat's off and thanks for sharing.

These videos are so underrated

Hi Chris! Phenomenal build loving every episode and cant wait for the next, and may sadly be the last? I'm following you from the UK and have started my own Falcon build, I too am using Paragrafix parts as well as Shapeways. A little incite, I can watch all videos on here...... through my laptop or desktop, iPad however will not for the reasons you have stated below. Personally I love the music!! but that is the secret, through a computer not tablet or smart phone. Greetings from Southampton, UK.

I love to watch how other modelers do things and sometimes bring into their work things that I might not have thought of or do things differently than the way I would have, etcetera. You're a details guy, and I like that, and you really have your craft down. I had a neck injury a decade ago and it takes me 4 - 8 times as long to make a model now as I used to because of hand tremors and stamina, Etc, but I still get enjoyment out of watching someone else do it. one thing I was wondering was if you have ever thought of making a life-size version. I think if we got enough quality modelers together to work on one, especially people who know their way around Lumber and other larger mediums, I think we could accomplish it. I would really love to see that happen. Same with the X-Wing, the Enterprise, the Serenity, the Normandy from Mass Effect, and some others. I think that would be just an amazing Park to build. Anybody else out there with that kind of Interest?

The detail is amazing

With all the weathering and lights you made it could easily pass as movie prop screen ready...amazing

I wish you'd made that monitor shroud out of just thick paper instead of styrene...

So cool!!👍✨

is a pleasure to watch you working,,,You are the Master

WOUAOU !! fibver optic wonderfull like reel model lucas film !!

hi chris,unfortunately this vid is not available in the UK 😔 , she's looking mighty fine from the still shot 🖒😆

Sick of adds

Hi, what kind of a blinking Module You use for the cockpit?

Where did you obtain the fiber optics?

I'm about to start my own DeAgo Falcon build, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to lighting - I wouldn't ever expect you to break out all the details of your lighting and power solutions to a rando on RU-vid, but could you tell us at least what your power supply solution was and how much voltage it runs? Did you somehow add on to the stock power/light board that came with the kit (I saw from your first video that you're at least using the stock backlight for the cockpit back wall) or did you replace Deago's power supply altogether with something more powerful?

Wow!!

was wondering where you got the fibre optics from, like to do it to mine...also what type of resistor was used for the 2 leds on the tube itself?

Extraordinary work! Great detailing.

Hi Chris. I'm subscribed to your channel but all your videos say not available? I'm in Canada so maybe a geo thing?

Amazing craftsmanship.....great to watch

Can you please include the links to everything used throughout your build?

wow great to watch thanks!

No me gustó el color, y la rejilla el color tampoco

Thanks , very nice . Cant wait to see the rest

man iam amazed by your model working

Fantastic job!! Whats your base colour formula?

Beautiful work, but I'm pretty sure that big divot on the bottom of the elbow on the filming prop is from it being dropped in handling, not there as 'on screen' damage. Anyone actually have a film frame of it being there?

Great detail well done

hi Chris what resistor u used on the red leds lights for the falcon cockpit

Very cool to see how you do it! Thanks!

Magnificent as always

Fantastic work!
