The Millennium Falcon is basically the best home a scoundrel could wish for. Need to stay on the move? Gotcha covered. Need to put a *giant* "keep out" sign on your yard? Gotcha covered. Need to do the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs? Gonna need a pilot who you never tell the odds.

[@punishedprops]

It's a vehicle, dwelling, and a character. =D

I really want to add to the people that have vouched for the video courses. Since I have ADHD finding a tutorial on getting started with Fusion 360 was so difficult since a lot of them were drawn out and focussed on creating stuff for industrial purposes… it was so hard to stay focussed and take in the information 😭 So I ended up buying Bill’s Fusion 360 course since I love the way he presents. It was exactly what I needed - geared towards prop making, straight to the point with Bill explaining the functions he uses most, and also Bill’s personality which really makes it the most enjoyable. I’ve made a heap of smaller props since then and am able to continue to practice and learn. So huge thanks to the team and 100% recommended, please do go check it out if you’ve been interested in learning 3D modelling. :) ❤ Also yay, thank you guys for another video so soon!!! Feeling blessed~ Whatever it is I love watching you guys just doing stuff you enjoy.

[@punishedprops]

Thank you so much! It warms my heart knowing my course was helpful. 😃

[@goldenboy82]

I love the fact that just some repainting anda little TLC can make a mass produced toy look like a $1000 collectable. Chris Stanley aka Cosplay Chris on his KZbin channel has a series called Chris' Custom Collectables where he takes toys and makes them look incredible.

[@Saavik256]

So true, a paintjob can make or break a model.

[@MDigitalProductions]

It makes me so happy to see you guys collabing with filmriot, I love this channel and theirs so much!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you! They’re the best people, we love working with them.

[@myfinalheaven9590]

I already knew this, but still. I watched this video, then watched the film tutorial by Film Riot, then came back to watch this video. So much work, just to get the shots to look right. Makes you appreciate the actual work that goes into making a shot

[@dpmakestuff]

My ignorance shows through since I didnt think the original looked too bad... until I saw the side by side comparison! Beautiful work!

[@ElEnanoAr]

The cool thing about this collaboration is that I started following you after you made them the cyber ankle shackle for Film Riot and I thought "maybe I cand do props too".. I haven't made anything, but still, I watch your channel, every video hahaha

[@KingdomJackFantasy]

I have the Star Wars Legacy Collection Millenium Falcon for the 6" line of toys. Missing a few parts tho like the dish. I have been trying with the idea to repaint it to make it look even better. After seeing this video I guess the time has come. Think I need mounting points too since it's so darn big. Great video

[@seekertosecrets]

21:55 Third time it fired the blasters! XD There is truly a different in the before and after shots.

[@punishedprops]

HA! It really got me. =D

[@HavocHounds1988]

That rust red spray paint was almost spot on for the right color, very nice.

[@punishedprops]

Wasn't that lucky?

[@joshuadtaft]

This is awesome. The only thing I would have done different was run remove the speaker and run the wiring through the mounting area so that you can externally power it from a battery holder on the stand. Maybe even have a simple switch for the engine lights.

[@blizatrex]

A really cool repaint of a hunk of junk

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much!

[@VariablePenguin]

Nicely done, Bill. That looks beautiful.

[@punishedprops]

Thank you so much!

[@matthewkapala9243]

Nice work! It's cool what a difference some paint and weathering makes. Great idea on adding the mounting points too.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@DannyMcFlyCosplay]

oh god, film riot was my first step into movie magic, which led to prop making and cosplay :D it has now come full circle :D

[@punishedprops]

Awesome! I've been a Film Riot Fan since the beginning, they're awesome.

[@SyntheticFuture]

Hats one hell of a good model. So much detail on it. Amazing. The paint pushed it to a whole other level. Well done!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much!

[@lmidnight]

Great so see you both. 😊 I just love watching your videos.

[@punishedprops]

Thank you! =D

[@paulpisters668]

Weathering a Millennium Falcon is me favorite thing to watch. 😅

[@punishedprops]

Isn't it sooo satisfying?

"The absolute thrill of painting a grey thing a slightly different shade of grey." - brilliant and what a difference it makes, looks amazing!

[@punishedprops]

We live an exciting life. 😂

[@ravonos]

One thing I've used for light leaks is aluminum tape. Especially on the inside of plastic toys like this it's a perfect light blocker.

[@WilksGRendai]

Spot on - nice tip 👍🏻but if you’re doing fiddly areas we used to use silver metallic paint inside pale coloured car bodies - it has great light-blocking properties too.

[@punishedprops]

Great tip!

[@TheRealAlpha2]

You gave it an HD remaster for sure, Honestly it's worth doing to any of these toys that are speedily painted as they can be a little inconsistent, or it's just good practice for model kits.

[@punishedprops]

I have so many toys that could use a fun repaint.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Excellent Bill!! Crazy valuable stuff!!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks Brian!

[@GazpachoTabletop]

I had no idea you could spray primer into a cup and just get liquid paint. Madness!

[@dellmorific]

Came out great! Something you may find fun to play with for smaller seam filling is Bondic UV pens. They are pretty affordable and the resin is almost a gel consistency. It also sands very well. Also instant, which is awesome.

[@punishedprops]

Oh wow I'll have to check those out.

[@mohammedholhow8193]

Hope we see some more videos on 3d modelling!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

It looks SO SO GOOD!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks buddy! =D

[@serpentartist1348]

It looks absolutely incredible

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@DelcoRanz93]

I took a lot of toys apart as a kid. I had two Playmates electronic Lights and Sound Star Trek ships, The U.S.S. Enterprise-E from Star Trek: First Contact and the U.S.S Defiant from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I think if I were to ever try something like this, I'd definitely use the Defiant since it has plenty of surface area and detail for a good weathering job.

[@punishedprops]

Ooh the Defiant is one of my favorites! =D

[@danthemakerman]

This is such a cool process to watch!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@beachbumsdn80]

On the whole it came out awesome, and only makes sense to use primer to paint the Falcon...

[@anikobranding]

This looks great, would love to stick a little led light in the cockpit tho.

[@michaelanderson1015]

Loved the video, I just redid a razor crest by the same manufacturer that my brother got me for my birthday.. paint, rub n buff and some weathering. Looks a ton better. So cool.

[@punishedprops]

The Razor Crest is suuuuch a cool ship!

[@samaker4]

Great build!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you so much!

[@tiffanysandmeier4753]

John Williams is the best. He wrote both the Superman theme and Star Wars theme, and so many more iconic movie scores.

[@punishedprops]

What a resume, eh?

[@tiffanysandmeier4753]

@punishedprops the best. Who could surpass it? They are not only amazing, but they stick in your head.

[@user-nh1je8wk6x]

please make a full costume! I loved the one you did 3 yrs ago for dragon con!

[@jollyrodgerfabrication]

Great video, definitely something I'd like to do with my son!

[@punishedprops]

It's a terrific project for kids.

[@sween187]

Tin foil tape can help with light bleed especially if you paint it black too. Good for making panel lines in it too with a tooth pick.

[@Beamer1969]

There has got to be a way to hide the seams without permanently sealing it shut

[@user-nh1je8wk6x]

you should make a full costume just for fun!

[@jaywhy3178]

I can smell the dremel sanding down plastic just by watching it on the my screen...

Bill’s reaction every time the electronics went off 😂😂😂

[@punishedprops]

HA! It genuinely got me every time.

[@bsimon9427]

if you still wanted to get to the batteries but secure panels down, same for the cockpit. i use calking. it fills gaps, paintable, and easily removable should i need to get back in there for something

[@punishedprops]

Oh that's a great tip!

[@bsimon9427]

@@punishedprops thanks, i do a lot of vehicle customs and mash ups and have learned my own little tricks on things along the way. love your channel, been watching for years!

[@itsagundam79]

Raised text is the bane of my existence! Can't figure out how to get rid of the warning labels on Nerf blasters for repaints. Tried Tamiya model filler but the text still shows through. Preferred the days of warning stickers. Maybe I'll try plumbers putty next.

[@punishedprops]

Yeah it's annoying when they mold the text right into the model.

[@larsulrichhansen9140]

I would like to ask for some advice. I have seen you doing some vacuum forming and I have this half dome with 50cm in diameter that is made from polyester that I wanted to recreate out of plastic. My first idea was to make a silicone mold from the dome and then afterwards cast it out from concrete, so I can vacuum form as many I want. But it seems a bit big and heavy, so I wanted to know what your thoughts and execution would be.

[@buzzsah]

Tapes. I don't do any modelling work, but use tape. I buy Scott, 3M, blue and the defailt colors. My issues are regardless of the brand, I can never pull off more then 6, 8 inches without it ripping uneven. Any ideas? I always check the edges before buying but still happens. Nice job.

[@punishedprops]

It’s pricy, but try the Tamiya masking tapes from a hobby store. They’re suuuper nice.

[@buzzsah]

Thanks, will try.

[@dameiondorsner7256]

That is the least sanding I’ve ever seen on this channel! 😂

[@punishedprops]

HA! You're right!

[@marxmith]

The thing that bugs me about most Millennium Falcon paint jobs is how the carbon scoring/exhaust spreads out diagonally from the exhaust ports. I’d thing that it would all streak straight back. It’s not like the exhaust ports are angled in any way that would cause the diagonal streaking.

[@punishedprops]

You make a compelling point.

[@bageldrone]

Kimda expected you to replace the completely out of scale cockpit

[@punishedprops]

That would have been awesome, but we were pressed for time.

[@DeltaWolf1000]

As a toy photographer this is well timed! I have the X-wing, Tie Fighter and ATST from the same toy line!

[@punishedprops]

Oh perfect! What a great lineup.

[@DeltaWolf1000]

@@punishedprops always! I have to get around to repainting them haha

[@Mike-ff7ib]

A strip of aluminum foil might have helped block the light leaks.

[@philabot]

Every cool paint job!! Pew pew

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@GratuitousSets]

They used the engine lights! Do you agree he gave you a decent nod? I wish I spent more time on the RPF but, since we do original stuff, I only use it when needed. My presence there has tapered off a bit. I’d like to see original work a bit more. It WOULD bring me back in.

[@punishedprops]

I don’t spend as much time on the RPF as I used to, but it’s still an amazing treasure trove of useful information.

[@plutoyaldnil4750]

I actually didnt get much choice lol I live in canada and as this series is so far behind in coming out( we basically have SOME series one vehicles and figures) so we only got jengo fett and his ship...and come on we all prefer bobas so I bought jengos and repainted it then repainted jengo to match boba and boba to look like fenic shan

Wasn't that awesome?? =D

[@djdresden242]

@@punishedprops totally. next time i see it in the club, i'll be like "hey, i know who made that".

[@mmcc2852]

how about silvery, metallic paint in addition to the black paint for light blocking?

[@punishedprops]

That would also do the trick.

[@HavocHounds1988]

Where do you get that good masking tape? I tried masking with just blue painter's tape and I think either I missed some tiny spots or it leaked through. Luckily it was easy to fix. Nevermind, I just saw you had it linked in the description. Awesome, I will have to look into getting some of that when I paint another prop.

[@punishedprops]

The Tamiya tape is also available at hobby stores.

[@HavocHounds1988]

@@punishedprops Yeah closest one for me is over 30 minutes away sadly. So Amazon is the best bet I think.

[@pillowjam8072]

nooooooo y super glueee the pilot and cockpit

[@One_Stone61]

so it doesn't come open in the middle of filming? also in the movie the cockpit didn't open

[@punishedprops]

Unfortunately a "filming model" isn't usually fit for playing with once it's been modified.

[@GeoffreyToday]

Isopropyl alcohol takes the wash off these toys lickity split. I have a strong suspicion that at the factory they literally just dunk these Falcons in the wash solution and let dry, hence all the pooling stains.

[@punishedprops]

Great tip, thanks for sharing. 😃

[@TCC180]

I have the same falcon, but I dropped it and lost the dang turret connector piece.... totally bummed.

[@punishedprops]

Oh nooo!

[@arghjayem]

Oh nice toy! Reminds me of the old Action Fleet Star Wars sets I had as a kid! 11:27 I would’ve done more than repaint that section where the guns are. That whole bit is way out of scale compared to the “real” thing!

[@punishedprops]

I had a bunch of those as a kid! They were so rad.

[@coreyennis9411]

You didn't start with the crawl!!

[@punishedprops]

Ooh that would have been a fun way to open the video. 😃

[@kruleworld]

the bottom plug should have been a canon/blaster like on the studio scale one (if you had time)

[@punishedprops]

Good call. If we had more time maybe we could have 3D printed something.

Use alu foil for blocking light rather than paint. Or combine the two, like you could have.

[@punishedprops]

Great idea!

I was not aware that you are also into RC flight; what do you fly?

[@jedi69outcast]

Please repaint the Legacy Big Falcon and add screen accurate decals please

[@punishedprops]

Talk about a dream project!

[@GuanoLad]

The cockpit and tunnel for this model is enlarged, to fit the figures, so is slightly out of proportion. Fine for a toy, but once the Hildebrandt Brothers painted official art for Star Wars using a similar toy as their reference and it looks way chunky and weird. I think it was for collectors cards, and also Shadows Of The Empire.

[@punishedprops]

It's fascinating the changes that get made to the toy versions of things.

The wash you put on made it look just like it did originally. Don't see the point of all of what you did. Also, you totally neglected the side walls which are way too dark and tend to bifurcate the top and bottom of the ship.
