Your attention to detail just blows my mind. What a work of art!

@johntvrdy4473 8 лет назад

Very nice work ! I didn't know the tamiya clear colors worked that well on photo etch. Thanks for the tip.

@wilbydunwright 8 лет назад

Terrific presentation and an awesome Gunner's Port build, Chris!! Rivals the studio/movie version in every way. Thanks so much for posting.

Fantastic as always. I'm looking forward to the next video already.

The best detailed customized video build on RU-vid!

Looks great Chris, I'm so glad Paul at Paragrafix is doing all this photo etch for the Deagostini Falcon. I keep getting my shipments, but can't start until my move to Florida in August and it's driving me CRAZY! (in a good way) All the best!

@redmonk2459 8 лет назад

Incredible talent, you're inspiring me to do better with my falcon but I'm a total beginner with paint and airbrushing. keep at it, I look forward to the finished product.

@LeonardoFelin 7 лет назад

Great video with step-by-step instructions. I learned a lot!

very nice. tempted to customise this part myself. Looks really really good

@tommywankenobi 5 лет назад

Beautiful job, Chris! I sold my LEGO Millennium Falcon to build this DeAgostini model because I decided I wanted a movie accurate model instead of a toy. You have really inspired me on this video, specifically because of your paint technique on the light display! I'm one of those "old timer" model builders who put together a 1/48th diorama of the B-29 Super Fortress Enola Gay many years ago, and actually used optic fibers and tiny hobby drills to wire the lighting for the thing! If you've ever seen the cockpit for this model , you'll understand my frustration! :-) Again, Great job and I hope to get back to mine soon.

Hey man. Can you share where you are getting yours from. I found several places online but not sure which one is correct.

@ImaginerImagines 8 лет назад

fantastic job, bravo.

@MandalorianFanboy 8 лет назад

Awesome work. Just subscribed. I am waiting until I have all of the issues before I start my build..just received issues 37-40 so still a ways to go before I begin. I love the use of the post-it note sticky part for those little square pieces...I am definitely stealing that for future use. Great idea!

@TheSnowwraith 8 лет назад

Same here. I'm up to issue 46 so far. I noticed that DA are reissuing some pieces due to feedback so I'm going to wait until I've got all pieces before building. That being said I think the various aftermarket mods will still be far superior to DA's offerings. The Paragrafix kits all look excellent additions, as well as Holland's lighting kit.

Hi Chris, i have been watching your DeAgostini Falcon Millennium built for some time. I had started to build mine 3 months ago and I have been working on my Bandai Perfect Grade for some time already. Today I came across with a video from a Chinees RU-vidr , his channel is HKSFILM. In his DeAgostini Falcon Millenium build he has done all the upgrades that you have done but already included with the Ago Kit. Is The Chinese DeAgostini FM is a more complete version? All the updates are super good and professionally done and included with the kit. Even the wiring. Any comments greatly appreciated. Enrique Perez

@modelsbychris 8 месяцев назад

I'm not aware of anything other than the engine lights, ramp light and back cockpit wall with the DeAgo. Either the upgrades did not come with the kit, or it's been redesigned in the past 6 years or so.

@steveminla 7 лет назад

AMAZING job on this build!! And I enjoyed the tutorial series you did as you went...I'm sure it helped A LOT of builders!!Can you explain exactly how the gun bays were lit on your model with the photo etch?!! Thanks.

@modelsbychris 7 лет назад

I cover lighting the gunner port in part 11 at about the 18:18 mark

@steveminla 7 лет назад

Got it! Nice job on that modification. So there is only one gun port on this model!?

@modelsbychris 7 лет назад

No, it comes with 2. But because of the way I have my model mounted, I'm utilizing the bottom gun port area.

@leslauner5062 2 года назад

Hi Chris. I love watching you build these kits. Your attention to all the small details is amazing. For your airbrush, what PSI do you have the compressor set for?

@modelsbychris 2 года назад

It varies. From 15 - 25 psi typically.

@leslauner5062 2 года назад

@@modelsbychris I had a feeling...I've been using 30 PSI and it feels a little too strong, I always have to really mask off the whole kit to paint. I'll try the lower settings. Thanks!

@Armaron06 7 лет назад

I see those foot pedals were a pain in the ass for you too.

@Fearless-1 3 года назад

Spectacular build! I can't quite tell from your videos, did you use clear parts for any of the model's windows?

@modelsbychris 3 года назад

No, I don't use the clear windows. I leave them out. They cause reflections which can make it difficult to see inside. They also did not use clear windows on the studio models.

@starwarsaddict77 Год назад

Hi Chris love the videos and all this is still new to me. On the decals I saw you left the name in the center part of decal how did you get rid of that without messing the decal up?

@modelsbychris Год назад

After it dried I just shaved away the center along the edge with a blade

@starwarsaddict77 Год назад

@@modelsbychris great! With a hobby knife? How long did you let it dry for?

@modelsbychris Год назад

@starwarsaddict77akajeffs18 yes, a hobby knife. Not long to dry. Maybe 15-20 minutes. Use a new sharp blade so it doesn't tear the decal

@randystrauss1542 7 лет назад

Wait, what? You just used Tamiya clear paints to fill in holes? I'm baffled. That really works?

@modelsbychris 7 лет назад

The really small ones filled fairly easy. the larger ones took a few times to build up, but yes, as you can see it worked very nice

@rahorachty 4 года назад

@@modelsbychris I just started my kit and found your invaluable videos and already a huge fan. I tried this technique on my Paragrafix too, but the paint seeped through the hole and stained the other side. I'm a bit of a beginner here and would appreciate feedback/tips. Thank you so much in advance Chris!

@modelsbychris 4 года назад

@@rahorachty I've had some so through a little to the other side, but not usually. That usually isn't an issue though, cause there's decals to go on the other side, which would cover the stain. But I've also done a bit of careful paint touch up on the stained side.

@rahorachty 4 года назад

Christopher Olson thank you so much for letting me know. In one part the decal didn’t cover it up. I will try again. I have some questions on the electronics but I’ll save em for when I get there. Just finished issues 1-4. Thanks again!

@MaxScerra 4 года назад

Hello Chris, sorry just bought the Millenium Falcon and just found you here. By any chance do you have any list of materials to buy and schema for the customisation you did?

@modelsbychris 4 года назад

No schematics. It was my first time doing electronics and it was on the fly. As for LEDs and fiber, it was primarily all on Ebay. Seller Me80 was what I got a majority. Great guy.

@fido2644 4 года назад

Well for led's if you want to do them your self you can just buy the leds and resistors I use 1k resistors when I make my leds depending on my power source too. It should cost you maybe 5$ for a assortment of leds on Amazon and another 5$ for 1k resistors but you will have enough to light up at least six or seven models depending on what your looking for.

@modelsbychris 4 года назад

@@fido2644 I use 390ohm resistors mostly. 1k is a little overkill, and it will dim them a little more.

@fido2644 4 года назад

@@modelsbychris well like I said depends on the power source but yeah 390 or even a 290 should be fine.

The gun displays were green, not red. But hey, it’s your model it’s whatever you want, maybe Han upgraded it.

@modelsbychris 7 лет назад

Doesn't really matter, as it's impossible to see in the built model

@modelsbychris 7 лет назад

If you're referring to the targeting screen attached to their chair, you better throw ANH in again and check. They're red. www.st-v-sw.net/images/Wars/Episodes/ANH/DVD4-weaponrange-002.jpg

@keithwhisman 7 лет назад

Christopher Olson I just rewatched and you’re right. Red screen with yellow objects, back then a display that showed red instead of green was referred to as a color display regardless that it was only red like the original green. Oh well memory is going bad. I still remember a;l the lines from the original untouched trilogy.

@keithwhisman 7 лет назад

Christopher Olson you’ll know it isn’t perfect and it would bug the crap out of you like it would me.

@h001139 4 года назад

Fuck!.... I just realized that this model is different from the one I have. I have the bandai perfect grade model of the millennium falcon. Looks like I will have to sell that one to get my hands on this one. I didn't know this version existed until now. Does the kit come with the fiber optic wires that you use to setup around the ship?

@marcmurphy5315 4 года назад

$1500 vs. $350

@fido2644 4 года назад

Best just to stick with the model you have and just customize it. But a little suggestion for the fiber optic wires when bending them use a hair dryer and heat the area where you want it to bend it will lesson the chance you will break it.
