First things first: I break out my Millennium Falcon Haynes Manual to follow along and check my details. Research is fun!
Then I paint all the little bits and pieces that come with it.
Now it's time to assemble. First, the seat cushion goes onto the floor.
Next, the seat back gets added.
Now, the control yoke. I know it doesn't show in the picture, but the yoke is silver with black handles.
Unfortunately, I broke the back support getting it off, so here it is, being glued back together:
Next up, the targeting computer gets some detail paint:
...and while that's drying, on goes the yoke support.
The computer is next...
...and finally the pedals.
And now, a bonus question: why is this seat so much smaller than the ones in the cockpit? Seriously, you'd have to be like an ewok or something to squeeze into that sucker.
Anyway, the rotating platform is next. It goes under the floor.
Now the stickers go onto the two halves of the shell:
The LED light gets snugged in up at the top, like so:
The outer "crown" lines up with this nice tab thingie:
And viola. We're done.
(Actually, I'm using a black felt tip to cover up the white sticker lines. But other than that, yeah, done.)
So yeah, a fun one this time. Looks like lots of shell work coming up next, so see you then!
