Two years in. Building MPC Star Wars Millennium Falcon kit. DIY lighting and sound. Not quite done. Hope to finish by May 2020.

#maudlinmodellers 10 Feb 2019 testing the #ledlights #leds #diy #electronics #customlighting #specialeffects for the #mpcmodels #starwars #hansolo #millenniumfalcon #scalemodel #modelkits testing over 50 lights at the same time. White, red, and RGB. Using #raspberrypi #pythonprogramming #gpio #i2c #mcp23017 #wiringpi #prototyping #breadboarding #geek #forscience #softwareengineer #hardwareengineer with @polerix in #moncton #newbrunswickcanada

#maudlinmodellers 13 March 2019 working on the 1989 #starwars #millenniumfalcon #scalemodel #scalemodelkit 1. Success testing with aluminum tape and black hot glue to affix lighting #ledslights 2. Prepped interior with aluminum tape. 3. Used Dremel to remove supports where RGB LEDs will go. 4. Reglued #shapeways 3D printed exhaust grill. 5. Removed ramp from identical older 1979 version since parts were missing from newer 1989 kit. Got a lot done in 2.5 hours. Nice to do actual tactile work instead of programming for a change!! #mpcmodels #ertlmodels #hansolo #geek #makersgonnamake with @polerix in #moncton
