28 inch Millennium Falcon

[gator]

A good friend and high school classmate is a big Star Wars fan.  He asked if I could paint this Millennium Falcon he found.  I said 'Sure.'  I was surprised when his wife dropped it off at the house.  It was a 28 inches long Hasbro toy Falcon.  It had decent details so I got to work.  I used photos of the Fine Molds Falcon for color and weathering references.  Fortunately the color of the Falcon was a match for Citadel's Seer Grey and that comes in a rattle can.  I bought a small bottle of the base color for touch ups.  The rest of the colors were matched to Vallejo Model Color.  I did most of the detail painting on a TV tray because it wouldn't fit on my workspace at the time.  As of this past weekend, all the color is on, lightly weathered and dull coat applied.  Friday I will hit all the 'glass' and the rear engine panel with clear coat.  It was a really fun paint.

Thanks for looking!
