Nice progress and good to see you are working on the falcon.

I am glad to hear that you are OK. The Falcon is coming together nicely!!!

Thank you both, I've been kinda wobbly the last week or so, but I'm getting better. I can type again without missing every other letter... Took me almost an hour to get my little square file to make that hole, cause I didn't trust myself to move fast with it.

Why did I only find this thread now? Looking fantastic! Just a pity it's the TFA version, personally the sequel movies do not exist....

I hope y'all get well soon. I hate being sick, I feel worthless.

Thank you, she had an infection on her knee, which was replaced 10+ years ago, so the doctors were quite aggressive treating the infection. went to the ER with it twice, then 5 days in the hospital...

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Both you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I've been working on the Falcon in piddely bits... straitening wires, finalizing light positions, and trying to start the detail decals.

Take all the time that you need! I am really looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

I found a downloadable full color PDF of the instructions here,

Millennium Falcon, Bandai 0219770 (2017)

and started experimenting with how these little decals are gonna be applied.
1st is a little two colored squares on the side of the "Mouth" area...
1 X

And 7 X Zoom


next was a 3 red square on the cockpit neck area...
1 X

And 7 X zoom


Both of thses photos show visible silvering... So now I have to decide if I can live with this, it's not visible to my Mk1 Mod F Eyeballs...

I am using the press on stickers for these little buggers BTW.
