Falcon Progress for Nov/Oct (and Sept)

The last shipment arrived yesterday afternoon so I spent the evening/night anxiously waiting to go into work early and make the additions.

First, I finished the steps left over from the September order where I miscounted a critical part and could not finish. That left me with something that actually looks like the Millennium Falcon:

Progress through step 60, finally!

With that out of the way, I jumped into my main goal: building steps 61-67. Two hours later I'd finished up!

These are all bottom hull coverings and detail steps. The large triangles cover the bottom side of the mandibles, the smaller wedges attach just behind them to provide a little angling for the hull and the tube to the far right is the covering for the bottom half off the starboard access. The four assembles in the middle are detail parts that viable through the circular openings in the hull.

It was not all Skittle-Pooping-Unicorns though: it seems that every month I am destined to either miscount or just plain forget to order a part. This month is was the lowly 2x4 Light Gray Brick, about the most common part in the entire set. Oh well, I improved and have them slated for December's order.

Finally, here is the progress for the Millennium Falcon through step 67:

Progress through step 67!
