I started my Falke today. So far most of the time was spent cleaning the parts of mold release and now I’m starting to put together some of the sub-assemblies.
Most of the parts are very clean so I think this will go together fairly quickly. Since the kit was so detailed already I was planning a straightforward OOB build but I’ve seen a spot or two that could use just a little “somethingâ€Â. We’ll see.
I had been putting this one off for a while because I wasn’t sure how to approach the paint job. The idea I have for this was inspired by the Homeworld design I uploaded here. I like the asymmetry of the colors and think it will work well with the Falke. For mine I’m going to reverse the red and gray so it’s mostly gray with red on one of the forward booms. The other change will be to mute the colors down similar to the dusty red and greys used on the Quonos One studio model similar to how they look here. I’ll add some white stripes and details in keeping with the Falke style. Well, that’s the idea for now unless I change my mind before I get there.
Thanks for looking.
