DeAgostini Millennium Falcon Customized Build Pt. 2 Interior Hold 

Thank you. I'm not sure if I've necessarily had negative comments, but I've had (as in this particular video) dislikes. Oh well. Can't please everyone.

I have a question if you wouldn't mind Chris. i am currently putting in the Paragrafix cargo hold floor in my Falcon and was wondering if you left the mounting tabs in place for the access panel sidewalls or did you remove them? I'm torn on what to do and I think your floor looks great.

I did leave the tabs, yes. Just Bent them down into the cutout then the light cutouts over top the tabs

+Christopher Olson Thank so much Chris! I'm really enjoying watching your build almost as much as building it myself. Take care.

I didn't do the ramp because of my Falcon being in the flying position. I never activate it really. If I had done landing, I would've done more with the ramp and all the other underside lighting as well.

@@modelsbychris email?, Send photos...

@@RubenCurarengo If you're asking for my email, you can use modelsbychris@gmail.com

thank you. If it can help people with their own builds and give ideas, that's awesome

Yes, I did all of the modifications myself except the photo etch pieces. (Sí, hice todas las modificaciones yo mismo, excepto las piezas de fotograbado.)

just running off of a 9v power supply

It looks absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing this.

and yes, there is a small inverter which I attached to the outer wall of the hold next to the bunk

I have not done any video tutorials. you might check my Falcon blog. it's pretty detailed. that may help. Falconmodelbuild.blogspot.com

still working on it. more videos to come

How much did it cost ( full falcon)

just the model alone is about $1500, after the 2 years of receiving parts

I have done my own using colored markers on the ends, but I got those from me80 on Ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/25mm-150ft-Colored-FIBER-OPTIC-MODEL-LIGHTING-many-uses-FREE-illuminator/261312797048?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180816085401%26meid%3D310558b4b0a041af98f2128f0334fb70%26pid%3D100970%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D261312797048%26itm%3D261312797048&_trksid=p2481888.c100970.m5481&_trkparms=pageci%3Ac3537b88-8b85-11e9-9f19-74dbd180cdf8%7Cparentrq%3A41a1608716b0ad30583006bfffe9e558%7Ciid%3A1

Yes. All of the cockpit lighting, laser fire lighting, and custom engine light. The only kit electronics kept are the torpedo fire and wings opening and closing.

@@modelsbychris Wow, just wow. Great job. I am making my way through the different videos. Am up to part 4 now.

Are you self taught? It amazes me to watch individuals like you who use so many different techniques to bring a model like this to life.

Yes, self taught. Just looked at some videos myself and forums.

@@modelsbychris excellent work. Happy Holidays sir

I used EL wire for that. easy to wrap around the hold floor

Not sure what you're seeing, but I did not light the yokes. This video doesn't even cover the cockpit and flight controls. And all lighting I did was matched per set photos.

For mine, I cut areas and pieces away from my old MPC Falcon model kit, and some of it was scratch built from styrene, such as the wall with the large pipe in it

I did not end up using the led holders. Yes, too big for the top to fit on. Just used smd LEDs and glued flush to the corridor wall.

Christopher Olson awesome thanks for the reply, I’ll need to remove mine and do the same. Cheers mate.

@@bigmocollectibles1995 yea, that happened to me also. Didn't know it was a problem till putting the top on. 🤪 Frustrating

Paragrafix. com

All LED. I buy most from Ebay

THANK YOU !!!!

Thank you for the quick reply also !!!

+Wakeman Edwards That's a good question. I don't have enough of the top yet to tell. But I'm planning on building a table with a glass case for the Falcon, so opening it up to view inside may prove difficult. I may end up displaying the interior hold separately. Haven't decided yet, though I still have almost a year to go.

You know, thats a good idea. Perhaps you could display it as a movie set with scratch built camera's props etc. I was planning on the table route or something like it myself which is what many of the Master Replica purchasers did. Tell you what, lets stay in touch, and share idea's. It would be good to have an online friend who is also building this project. You up for that? If so let me know. My email is wakemanedwards@gmail.com. In any case, your really doing yours justice my friend. : )

That was also something i had thought about. just not sure yet. Really, I'm waiting to get the top done and see what it's like before making a decision

Thanks. I get my colored fibers from a really good guy on Ebay. me80 www.ebay.com/itm/25mm-150-feet-Colored-FIBER-OPTIC-Sci-fi-lighting-FREE-illuminator/372238884125?hash=item56ab2a9d1d:g:DwYAAOxybi9RfZ-j

Everything in the hold was fiber optics. Originally in the hallways I was using 3mm LEDs for lighting, but you can't put the top on because they're too big, so I ended up using SDM LEDs in the hallway sconces. But the nav computer was fiber optic.

@@modelsbychris thanks a lot!
