I got a really great deal on it considering they go for around 400.00 on Ebay. A great guy named Jimi sold me one for retail price which is unheard of now that you cant find them.
It took me well over an hour just to wash the parts... this is a massive undertaking.
I will post progress photos as I go... She is about 5% built at this point....
Fine Molds make such elegant and crisp models...Yeah they are more expensive...but in this case you get what you pay for...

Here are some initial shots.....
This is the front mandable area that I have put quite a few "greeblies" on....
This is the rear dorsal area that has nothing done yet to it.... You can see the hundreds of little holes where parts need to be glued into place !!! Lots of work ahead of me !!
These are some images of a 1/72nd Fine Molds Falcon I did a few years ago....

Agreed Alteran ...the Clone Wars make Anakin less annoying ....
I decided to go with the Episode 3 paint job as the Stellar Envoy....This is just the top half of the ship.... I have a lot still to do ( Especially on the bottom half and sidewalls.)
EDIT: I had to remove this picture.....long story
I really busted my arse so far....and Im only about 40% done with this....

Thanks JMW..... A lot of people dont like the Stellar Envoy..... There is just something about it that I like..... Maybe its just that Ive been looking at the same Millennium Falcon for almost 35 years.
I also like the Envoy's back story that it was a transport during the republic for both the senate and the Jedi. It than, of course, fell into the hands of Lando !!
