Howdo!

Here's some pics of my recent Falcon conversion. What do ya think? You can find more pics, a conversion guide and other X-Wing hobby nonsense over at http://hobbybeforeidie.blogspot.co.uk/

Cheers, TUZ

Love it! The colors and cockpit mod look great.

Nicely done, very clean work!

Although I do think I prefer the asymmetry of the offset cockpit.

very well executed! I couldn’t really tell where the cuts were done until I saw it on your blog, removing the access corridor to the cockpit was a good call, it gives a lot of symmetry to the final conversion.

For a minute I thought you have done a conversion for the YT-2000 Otana, but after I search on-line I realized that the Otana would require lot more work than what you have already done.

Sweet conversion!

Cheers for the encouraging comments guys

@RodTheCid - I just looked up the YT-2000 Otana - it wasn't a ship I was really aware of - I see what you mean!

Wow... well done... personally I always wondered why the cockpit is so far to a side... something "How Han look to his left...?"

So, I love your version.

Also liked your mortificator.

Beautiful conversion. I've been wanting to convert a YT-1300.

NICE JOB!!!!! Love the colors!

What thickness plasticard did you use for your conversion? You've inspired me to recreate a similar look to a ship I had drawn out when I played west end games star wars rpg. Never done a conversion before any tips?

Awesome job by the way.

Many thanks - I think the plasticard was around 0.75mm thick. You don't want to go too thin as the surface may warp when using the super glue... Conversion tips wise, there is a guide on my blog (link below). The main thing with any conversion is to take your time and ensure that you have the right tools to hand for the job - Sharp knife blades, needle files, tweezers etc. Having these to hand will make life a whole lot easier - Work in manageable stages and complete a small section at a time (go and have a coffee / beer and come back and admire / take stock on the work you achieve at each stage ).

If I can help with anything more specific, you're always welcome to drop me a line

Cheers and good luck

Great conversion. It looks really really good.
