Hi, I badly wanted to have the Millenium Falcon 4504 as I liked the overall design the most. What I did was not just buy a set but to look for missing parts at bricklink to build my one version. Regrettably I realised that the original build was highly unstable and nothing for a 7 year old son. Whether it was lifted on the side or in the frond it almost ended up breaking apart... Folding up the top ends in having the parts in the hand rather than on the falcon... . I do not know what TLG thought at that time how this should be playable... So I completely enforced the ground plate, the front wings (still space for the cargo :) ), two hinges on each pair of roofwings, raised the center tower by two plates in order for the falcon not to look too flat, etc... Well here is the result, hope you like it:

I was able to purchase the brand-new and very rare Lego Nanofighter 0.0000007965 Millenium Falcon !! The size of this new nanofighter fits exactly to the scale of the 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer. So my goal was to rebuild the famous Star Wars Scene from Episode V when Han Solo docks the Millenium Falcon to the Star Destroyer. Luckily I own 3 sets of 10030 as well as one set of 10221 Super Star Destroyer. So I was able to setup this movie scene in real life. As you can imagine, it was quite a bit fiddly to assemble this nanofighter. Especially assembling the laser cannons was a challenge. However, by using a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers I was able to accomplish this mission. Have fun! original movie scene: Remake: Hi-Res Image -
Hello I'm rather new to this forum, I've been lurking for some time tho. I've always considered the Falcon to be one of the coolest designs around. I've also been telling myself if I ever got around to wanting to build it, I'd do it from scratch and in styrene, maybe on a wooden base, like the studio scale. I've certainly been telling myself that doing it in LEGO is stupid, it's hard to get the dimensions right and it'll cost you:-) Until my 5 year old came to me one day and said: "Dad I'd really like a LEGO MF!" I said: "The current set isn't really that cool, and the proportions are way off, plus it's really expensive!" I probably shouldn't have said that, cuz he looked at me and I could tell he was putting two and two together. Then he said: "Dad, why don't we just build our own Falcon then... and it's gotta have guns dad, on top and on the bottom?" I thought what the hell, and we started putting some pieces together, it quickly became apparent tho, that we did not have the needed parts, not if it was to be anywhere close to looking like the Falcon. I did some research and found some good references including the base drawing of the MF off of studioscale.com. So this may go a bit slow, cuz I'm doing this with my 5 year old, but it's for him , and that's the way it is. Anyway, this is our attempt at the Millenium Falcon, she's gonna be something around 65-70cm. About 0,78 percent of the studio scale. As of now, we've managed to build the forward mandibles which are pretty close to sticking to the proportions. The angle looking from the top, is slightly off, but acceptable. The cockpit is a real PITA, and obviously too big, but that is a trade off so it'll fit two minifigs. This is the 4th or 5th time we've rebuild these sections alone and I think we're pretty close to what we can accept. We hope to get some good suggestions along the way, and a lot of fun out of this thread. Brian and son
