Hasbro Hero scale Millennium Falcon

[The Batman Professor]

Got one of these for Christmas, and I went to town on it with some Minwax ebony stain, Tamiya paints, and Testors dull coat. For what it cost, it can be made into a pretty impressive display piece, considering it's 28" long:

That looks pretty good.

 

[Ehollywood]

Whoa. Looks Legit

Nice work! Are you self taught with the paints? I've been thinking about getting into it and was just going to follow some tutorials and trial-and-error my way through it.

Nice weathering!

That's an awesome job. Is that from the same mold as the "BMF" big Falcon from a couple of years ago, or is it a new mold? Interested how the 4" scale figures go with it.

I know a few people on the modelling forums have taken the new huge X-Wing (which is pretty much an exact 4" scale replica of the ship, though very basic underside molding) and made it a 1/18 model using the 4" figs.

It's been pretty impressive how the new SW stuff since Disney have been so amazingly detailed and accurate.

Great job. I really need an MF for my collection but this thing's huge.

It's a different mold, more accurate in proportion to the screen model than it's predecessor.

Plus the BMF is
bigger than the newer ship to accommodate figures.

Amazing job, Professor!

 

[The Batman Professor]

Thanks, Guys. Just got another one on closeout for $35. Gonna hold onto it until I can kit bash an interior and add lights. A project for the summer.

 

[Mandible]

Amazing job! I was wondering if anyone was going to do that as I was thinking the same thing.

Could you please post some more photos - thanks!

I got one for Christmas specifically to paint up but I'm holding off until someone comes up with an 'upgrade kit' of resin parts for the sidewalls.

 

[The Batman Professor]

Keep me in mind if that happens.

Seems this guy is already on the ball.

How do those work - you buy the file and just print it on a 3D printer? Are they AutoCAD files? And can you print them out at any scale, or just the one mentioned in the listing?

 

[Thorne]

I wouldn't have to pay $11 shipping for a file.

Looks nice. Any photos of the underside? This looks like a project that I could undertake.

Wow! That thing sucks (before your awesome paint-job). What's the point of this toy?!!
