XizorsVirago's Custom Vehicles
« on: May 27, 2010, 01:21:27 PM »
Huh, I could have sworn I made a vehicle topic before now... oh well! Anyways, here's my first post, and it's one I hope you all will really like! As you may know, I've been stepping up my game a bit for the 30th anniversary of Empire this month, and I gave you all a little taste of my biggest project, my rendition of the Cut-away Millennium Falcon! Fortunately, I had this ready for my ESB party, though I was gluing the front of the cockpit on as my guests were arriving, talk about racing to the finish line! And so without further ado, I give you... the Falcon!

Wraithnine, glad you like it!

Jules, I'm especially glad you like it, since your video rendition of dirtying up the Hasbro Falcon is what inspired me to pick this one back up and finally finish it! Now I've just gotta print out some of your backgrounds and make a proper diorama out of it! I was also thinking about making a Hoth base for it, with model snow and lots of power cables / greeblies all around it. Time will tell!

This is Action Fleet Scale correct? I must say awesome is an understatement irregardless of whatever size this is. I love it. I can't wait to see it in a Hoth dio too! On the fp by the way.

Tamer (clint?) and wraithnine (jay?): the ship is just the tiniest bit smaller than being accurately scaled for action fleet, but nobody except us would ever notice! The Chewie and R2-D2 sitting at the game table actually are action fleet, and C-3p0 is micro-machines (he came from the ewok's wooden chair with a few arm modifications!), and 3p0 is exactly the same size as the Han  and Chewie that came with the model (in the cockpit)... So, if you're looking for a great Falcon for an action fleet diorama that's in scale with the one-man fighters, this one is definitely it! (Consequently, Chewie 3p0 and R2 are all held in place by double-sided tape so the scene can be changed)

Fiala: glad you like it! I can't wait to see the Hoth dio either, sitting on my kitchen table taking up way too much space like i know it will! Bwahahah

Also, I've been thinking a little more, and I am thinking that I may be able to make both bases at the same time... I'm going to try to make a nice finished wooden base with a raised lip on the outside, and make two different interchangeable inserts, one Hoth and one Asteroid (and maybe more down the road!), and hide the handles to lift them out in various little power boxes on Hoth and boulders on the asteroid! I've got quite the project ahead of me if I do this, haha!

Oh,  I also forgot to show you guys another cool feature, the boarding ramp that drops down!  Also added some paint chips (on the red and dark grey panels) and rust drips, but i might darken those up a bit later.
