I started with a basic Hasbro toy to which I added a 3D printed top quad laser for the top and took the top quad gun that came with the toy and took the two top guns off of it and made the bottom gun into a quad and then made it into an in flight version by cutting off the so called "landing gear" and putting my own version of closed landing gear doors over the holes that were left behind... I then began taking parts off of an earlier version of the falcon toy which had detailing of the areas around the perimeter of the ship that weren't on the newer one cutting each one to fit this newer one... it had flat undetailed areas around the perimeter to which stickers were to be applied.

I like this one because the accuracy of the ship overall was much better that the older versions of the toy... I had to trim the detail parts I added because the older toy was much taller in between the top and bottom halves...

Here is a link to an album of my conversion/buildup of this model...

Now on to the pics of the completed model...















And a few close ups of the detailing...

That really turned out sharp looking.
