DeAgostini Millennium Falcon Customized Build Pt 12 Install Interior and Light Blocking

In this video I cover attaching the mandibles to the lower hull, light blocking for the lower hull, attaching the docking clamps and adding their caution light fibers, and adding the cargo hold and corridors to the lower hull.

not just time , tools and resources ..also knowledge about electronics..fantastic job, congrats

[@grape808]

i just came across these randomly and marathoned all of them. can't wait to see the rest!

[@fxlineardynamics]

Really Astonishing work!

[@modelsbychris]

Thank you

[@numberyellow]

binge watched this whole series...man, respect. absolute effing legend.

[@Enigma71559]

Very important to have caution lights on a ship flying through space at the speed of light. It'll make it much easier for other space craft also flying at the speed of light to see you. Kidding aside...what an incredible model build. Well done sir!!

[@mikedimimd]

Fantastic as always. You are definitely leading the charge

[@DominicFawver]

This model is incredible with all of the extra work you have put into it. Very nice, looking forward to seeing it complete.

[@Quantumoprh]

The mirrors are a very cool idea.

[@kurk1701a]

fantastic realy can't describe how great this model is .fantastic work .

[@marks6663]

she may not look like much, but you did a lot of special modifications yourself so she has it where it counts.

[@dylankitchener6421]

those mirrors were a brilliant idea

[@jimcarter4380]

Really great Chris, one day I'll have the tools patience and skills. Fantastic work!

[@rodrod4309]

Un boulot incroyable,the best falcon i have ever see.

[@Franciszek64]

I can´t hardly wait the final video!!!!!!! Greetings from Mexico City!!!

[@lancepather7323]

great build!! really sad that the model never reached our shores in South Africa,even after numerous emails to DeAgostini,the closest ill get to this beauty is only through these videos!!

[@Sibslover]

www.model-space.com/gb/international-delivery The UK web Site are now offering the Millenium falcon for 899 GB pounds with international delivery at 99 Pounds, but you will get customs fee

[@FlyingTreg]

Increadible work!!

[@m1a1hm]

Outstanding work!!!!

[@joburg76]

Hi Great vids, at 3:07 you are talking about drilling holes, on the escape pods, just left and right of the holes you are drilling these are the parts that let this kit down and every other kit of the MF (they look like angle brackets) 2 bottom and 2 top either side they should be more like a piston shape thank you for posting these great video's

[@Jontefett]

I love your videos so much! So much love and time is put into this, amazing keep the work!

[@batcave809]

SENSATIONAL !

[@AsociacionMexicanadeYoYo]

no words is magestic!

[@done488]

de agostinis millennium falcon is a pefect copy of the fine molds falcon

[@modelsbychris]

It's actually a laser scanned copy the the real ILM model used for filming. The fine molds is less than half the size and not as detailed. Though a good kit

[@MichaelMoellerTRLInc]

Fantastic, the interior details added look amazing it almost makes me sad my Falcon will not be on display with the interior visible.

[@modelsbychris]

mine will actually be on display as in flight, and not open. I'll just open at times to show people

[@MichaelMoellerTRLInc]

Well then those people that are fortunate enough to get that show are in for a treat. I am really happy you chose to do the red exterior lights. I plan to do those on mine and wondered how the Shapeways parts would work out. I am sold, thank you for sharing your project.

[@frankgallacher4799]

Perfection my friend perfection.

[@AlessandroCarlini75]

great job

[@tyymclarenfan]

I made mine extra dark to make it really looking old and battered via airbrushing to make it look great

[@kronosaqp]

Good work!

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

I swear I saw the light for the bunk somewhere before...but now I can't find it ANYWHERE! lol

[@hgbarnes1584]

Outstanding!

HI REALLY AWESOME . THANKS . KURURU .

[@Transfixed]

Holy hell! I feel like throwing mine in the garbage now lol

[@lawrencereynolds3992]

Great build series! I'll definitely be adapting some of your techniques for by build. Do you have detailed notes on your circuit board modifications? They'd be very helpful.

[@modelsbychris]

Unfortunately I do not have board notes. I don't honestly even know how to diagram a board. I just kinda winged it with my minimal knowledge. Sorry. All of my LEDs already had built in resistors, so the boards were strictly + & - wire connections.

[@Mugen-MTC2R]

Im building this one to..... but man.,.. my skill isent anywhere near yours, so i kinda use your videos to get inspiration for my model:0) im not making a copy i just like your idears and tricks:

[@modelsbychris]

That's my goal. To either inspire or give ideas.

[@thunderbirdsharrypotterfan]

Cool

[@PastorRoberts]

Sweet

[@mortlow6688]

lol this one is better than the org for the film...

[@modelkitmaker5489]

Great job !!! Where do you connect the additional lighting that don't come with the kit ( corridors, hold, cockpit, landing lights )?. Are they powered connected to the main board or is it an independent circuit ?

[@modelsbychris]

I made 2 separate bread boards that all of my additional lighting attaches too. 1 gets it's power from the board with the kit, the other gets it's power from the some power plug, but I split it off, because the kit board couldn't handle it all.

[@danielclarke649]

Have you got a video on how you added additional bread board and wiring

[@nathanroberts355]

I always want to get this model of the millennium falconwith lights light up and or the real thing of millennium falcon with Chewbacca

[@eddyspagetti9899]

if the 'chess' board isn't fully functional, w/the holographic beasts IN COMBAT...well, what's the point ?? :p AWESOME JOB..GREAT VID

[@carlmckinney196]

What is that blue box that's near the hold at around 7:39 in the video. Does that have something to do with you splitting the power between your mods and the included board?

[@duncan.g.burton]

Love your videos, incredible work. May I ask, the fibre lights, does the kit come with these ? I’m looking to buy this kit. Many thanks 👍

[@modelsbychris]

No, the kit does not come with fiber. The only lighting in the kit are the headlights, engines, bottom flood lights and the back wall of the cockpit. But I modified all of that as well.

[@duncan.g.burton]

Christopher Olson thank you for the info Chris, do you have a list of where you can buy these mods as I’d love to have a go ! Also all the individual lights in the tunnel, are the fittings from the kit and then you added the optics ? I’m sure your very busy so there’s no rush for info. Many thanks 👍

[@modelsbychris]

@@duncan.g.burton i don't have a list exactly. As for LEDs and fibers, pretty much fit them all on Ebay. I just searched for best prices and qty. Photo etch from paragrafix.biz. some of the 3d printed parts on Shapeways.com from a seller named 308Bits. And I built custom stuff from styrene

[@duncan.g.burton]

Christopher Olson Thank you and once again incredible detailed model 👍

[@Kal_El_Krypton]

Hi. You’ve done a great job. I was wondering where you would find the black foil and how did you attach it? I’ve scrolled through the comments and haven’t found the answer.

[@modelsbychris]

Amazon. Just type in matte black cinefoil. I attached with super glue

[@Kal_El_Krypton]

Christopher Olson thanks! Keep up the great work on both the models and the vids.

[@RenegadeAgent91]

HI im from Argentina nice vid. mate, what kind of glue do you use ? super glue?Cyanoacrylate? i dont want to stain white when the glue dries. Sorry for my english and best wishes !

[@modelsbychris]

I use Loctite super glue.

[@AlexMele]

Hi there, can you please tell me where I can buy the same fiber optic that I can see in this video? Also I would like to ask some infos about the illuminator? Any custom built? Thanks in advance

[@Notamommomsboy]

Alex Mele You can find them on EBay & Amazon. Key word (Fiber optic.)

[@albert710627]

Amazing!! I Work in the mine!! Please can make you some questions about ligths? The board Support the aditional current from all leds of your main hold? Can you Share a diagram for that?? Thanks!!!!!

[@modelsbychris]

sorry, I didn't do a diagram. I'm just doing it on the fly. I honestly have no idea how much current my Leads draw. I'm using a 2 amp 9 volt supply. I figured that should be adequate

[@albert710627]

thanks for the tip; great work friend.

[@felixjiny]

Amazing Job ! what the size of the fiber optics that you used for the landing lights ?

[@modelsbychris]

1.5mm

[@felixjiny]

@@modelsbychris Thanks Chris

[@javierherrera3422]

Amazing!!! Do you think you could send the circuits to make the corridor??? Thanks in advance for your reply!!!!

[@modelsbychris]

It was just a bread board that I soldered the wires too. There's really nothing I could make. I just soldered on the fly.

[@javierherrera3422]

Thanks for your response. Is there any special circuit for the cabin´s lights? If so, please, do you think you could share with us?

[@modelsbychris]

There was really nothing except the LEDs and fiber optic. It was all wired to the kit board. I only used bread boards to solder to, rather than just soldering all my wires together. It was just to make it cleaner basically.

[@user-xv9qp9rc3f]

God !!!! Oh my god tham

[@paulviana838]

do you have a suggestion on how to do a switch that I can plug in to an outlet

[@rovingenglishman]

But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see!

[@AlexMele]

Do you know where I can buy a new main board? I have broken the original one! :-(

[@modelsbychris]

The only thing you can do is contact Model Space. Their phone customer service is very good. I called several times to get early shipments and stuff and they were great and accommodating.

[@AlexMele]

Ok... I'll do it! Many thanks

[@topbanana4013]

are all the light mods or do they come with the kit

[@modelsbychris]

The only lights with the kit are the engines, back cockpit wall light, 2 headlights, and the 4 underside flood lights. Everything else i added. I even modified their lighting.

[@Kingsbloodstudios]

Hi, Would you be so kind as to tell me what the name of the connecters you used for the electronics.. I got some 2 pin, 2.0 ph connectors, but they are too small..

[@modelsbychris]

From Ebay. JST XH 2.5mm 2-pin connector. www.ebay.com/itm/JST-XH-2-5mm-2-Pin-Connector-Plug-with-Wire-150mm-X-10-sets-TW/151802735127?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

[@paulviana838]

is the fibers extra or do they come with the kit

[@modelsbychris]

Additional. The kit only comes with an LED strip to light the engines, an LED to backlight the cockpit wall, underside flood LEDs, headlight LEDs, and ramp LED. Everything else I added. I even modified the kit LEDs as well.

[@paulviana838]

@@modelsbychris can you recommend fiber optics

[@modelsbychris]

@@paulviana838 for colored fibers, Me80 on Ebay is good. But for regular fibers, I also get them on Ebay, but from whoever has what I need at the time. Nobody in particular

[@paulviana838]

@@modelsbychris thanks for the info

[@b.g17]

hi, from italy what kind of glue to use to stop the optical fibers, thanks

[@modelsbychris]

I use regular Elmer Glue to hold them in place

[@danielclarke649]

How much of the lighting and circuit boards do you get with the model

[@modelsbychris]

Only a circuit board that does the engine light, the ramp, the 4 white landing lights and a light for the back wall of the cockpit.

[@anthonyenos862]

Who the hell has 1200 hundred bucks for this damm kit.

[@modelsbychris]

That's why it's over 2 years, otherwise I never could've

[@ricardopavez5932]

1- do you sell your model ? 2- how much ?

[@mikehilton4204]

I just want to know how many "son of a bitch" moments you had throughout this build?

[@modelsbychris]

LOL. Plenty, believe me. But all worth it

[@mikehilton4204]

Christopher Olson I bet, she's gorgeous. Beautiful work.
