February order is in!

Steps 71-74 are a bit boring to document with pictures. They all provide external hull plates for the underside of the Millennium Falcon.

The most exciting being step 71 which is in the background of the photo below. It attaches directly under the engines at the rear of the Falcon and has a lot antennas and movable triangular wings ("Angle the defector shield!" perhaps?). The rest are large patches of gray to fill in the gaps underneath.

Steps 71 (background) and 95 (foreground)

Far more exciting is I got the large 4x4 turn table that is the swivel mount for the radar dish (that Lando took out in VI).  This is actually Step 95 but since I had all the other parts I could not resist putting it together.

January's Falcon Order

That's all for January?

Yep.

One of the reasons I am not done after nearly two years is that this project is more about the journey than the destination. That is, I purposely limit myself to budget of X dollars per month and at this point I'm a little over budget.

My goal was to try and get some of more elusive parts, namely the gray-topped levers I need a bunch of. Sadly, after I placed the order the seller connected me to to say that he only had 2 of the promised 10. :(

Oh well, I still got the last of the 1x4 black tiles and the final binoculars I need along with the 10 of quarter circle bricks needed for the rear engine housing.

Better luck February!
