Are you ok balling? You seem to get awfully angry about my modelling threads.
And yes I did have to create it. Although I downloaded a Base template from somewhere, I still had to size it, tweak it, add a few bits, experiment with various paper types and thicknesses and printing methods to arrive there. It was actually two evenings of fucking about even with that starting point.
On the other forum I did say that I used brians template. If I said that here no one would know who the fuck Brian is

When have I ever acted angry? Was it because I criticised your dry brushing?
I enjoy your modelling threads, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

Anyway I have ordered an aftermarket replacement to the cockpit that has arrived with the last issue, the supplied one is pretty poor really, il post some pics of it later but this is the replacement

£900 and you have to buy bits to make it decent. I'd be taking lips off....

Dear DeAgostini,
I am a very happy subscriber and supporter of what you are doing with this collection… I am also fully appreciative of what an ambitious task it is…
Needless to say, most of us here, amateur and pro-modeller alike, seem to have a deep and wide knowledge of what it is we are building…
For us to go to this expense and to make this 2 year commitment, you have to understand that we have between us extensive knowledge about the exact specs of the Millennium Falcon and will understandably have high expectations of what you have advertised as being ‘the most accurate Millennium Falcon model available’…
I hope you can also appreciate the need for us as subscribers, obviously within reason, to make you aware of any inconsistencies and obvious errors with the parts supplied, and to give you the opportunity to rectify these errors going forward…
Many subscribers, including myself, have raised issues about receiving inconsistently coloured hull plating parts… These issues need to be addressed NOW, as any more time will only make the problem worse and requiring extensive painting work on the part of the subscriber to achieve a standardised finish…
It is also clear the Cockpit Canopy is incorrect… An easy mistake to make, but nevertheless an on obvious error in a very noticeable place… You have already acknowledged this in a previous thread (http://forum.buildmillenniumfalcon.com/forums/topic/cockpit-canopy-retool/) but have as yet not responded as to what you propose to fix it…
Some subscribers have gone to the lengths of buying 3D printed replacements at considerable expense or even started cutting away at the supplied part to fix it themselves…
These problems need to be rectified and parts replaced as necessary… Modifications of this nature are not an option for myself and without wanting to speak for anyone else, I have started this petition to allow any others who feel the same as me to add their voices…
Please accept this petition in the positive spirit in which it is intended, and in no way a complaint, but as an encouragement for you to maintain standards throughout the duration of this 2 year partnership we have engaged in together…
Thank you and we look forward to your response confirming these problems will be fixed as soon as possible…

Signed….
May I allso thank you for bringing us this model, it will be fantastic im sure.
I must add that all the advertising pictures that you have used for this model makes the subscriber presume that he is looking at what he will be building. The cockpit is nothing like your advertising and so I think it would be within the law for us to return all the issues so far and claim a full refund as the supplied parts are not as advertised. This for me will be a last resort but it is an option if the cockpit is not corrected, and I think you need to double check all other parts before dispatch to the subscribers.The hull plates should have set the alarm bells ringing , which allso are nothing like your advertising pictures and to be fair to your subscribers a correct part should be supplied.I must say that I wonder if this model has actually been built as you have not used correct images to advertise this product. Its like buying a shirt with white buttons from an online supplier and when it turns up it has red buttons, this is grounds to return for a full refund.
