Build the Millennium Falcon - Issue 100 - Part 1
47This is my series for the "Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon" model kit subscription, by DeAgostini. How it works is this. If you're in the United States or Canada, you'll order a 25 month subscription through Model-Space.com (full link posted below). Then every month, they'll ship out four issues of the build. That's 100 issues if you hadn't yet done the math!!! In the United Kingdom, single issues are released weekly though local hobby shops and news stands, though I'm not sure about the rest of the world. But basically every week I'll have certain tasks I'll need to perform, and so I'll try to keep all my fans up to date every week with the current progress on my build! I can't wait!!
Externally, this official Millennium Falcon model is a 1:1 replica of the original filming prop used in The Empire Strikes Back. At 32 inches long and almost two feet wide, this model will be massive when compete! Did I mention it will weight 24 pounds when finished??? The coolest, and maybe worst, part is that it will take over two YEARS to assemble!! That is both cool and insane, all at the same time!! It will have a few moving parts, including a servo controlled entry ramp, working lights for the cockpit, engines and flood lights and I'll even receive a wall mount as part of the subscription too!
Each week, I'll be adding a new video for each issue of the build, plus I'll probably do a few more videos here and there for when I do extra tasks not required by the kit, like extra painting, weathering or additional customization.
I hope all of you follow along my build with me! I'll definitely need the encouragement! Also, if you're interested in building your own Millennium Falcon, or if you just want more information, just check out the following links:
