Vintage Palitoys Millenium Falcon

Update!

Here's another Millenium Falcon that I worked on awhile back. It's not as big as the new Hasbro version, so my work wasn't as...sizeable. Anyhoo, The reason why this fella was repainted was yellowing. It was so bad that it looked like it was made out of snot. Can't really blame it, this fella was around since 1979.

So my good buddy asked me to refurbished this since he saw my work on the Hasbro Falcon and he hoped that I can actually return this guy to his former glory. So there I was, another Falcon.

A job's a job's right? Didn't manage to take photos of its yellowing so can't really compare, but I think some of you would know.

Here it is...

Got a request from my pal to change the thrusters to blue. Which is true since I don't remember the Falcon ever had red thrusters...

Go the distance!

Update!

Alright! An update finally!! Okay...hope that everybody who follows this blog o' mine is patient with me...LOL...

Here's one of my works that I did for a friend a few weeks back...Did a few so I'll be updating RK Designs as much as I can...

Well, I was presented with a monumental task...yes, when I mention monumental I mean its HUGE! Recently Hasbro released a new mold for the Millenium Falcon. Triple the size of the original and with a large amount of detail to it. Sadly, being a toy it lacked depth of its details. I was planning to get one for myself and repainted it, but with a hefty price tag to it...I had to think many times and decided on a no...

Luckily I had a friend who wanted to upgrade his Falcon and I was eager to oblige to his whims...so here it is...With some pre-shading and also weathering.

Before: Priming...

Done: The Millenium Falcon

Close Ups:

I'm working on another Falcon, but the vintage series version. Hopefully I can make it look just as good.

Cheerios!
