The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy just joined my Midi-Scale ship collection! Here comes the Millennium Falcon from Episode IV – A New Hope.
Made of 2,178 pieces, measuring only 34cm and weighing almost 1kg, this compact yet dense Falcon was another unique challenge at this scale. After seeing some great-looking Figscale MOCs of this tricky ship, I couldn't resist making a Midi version.
With this design, I took a different approach than most other Falcons out there, and wanted it to look as sleek and gapless as possible. This resulted in a pretty elaborate and unique mix of paneling techniques that involved a lot of SNOT building.
One of my priorities was to faithfully reproduce the curved saucer shape on both sides of the ship, and not only on top. As a result, the build features all the details and shapes of the original 1977 studio model, from top to bottom.
The overall thickness of the ship was another concern. I wanted it to be as thin as the original, while being able to sandwich some tasty greebles and even the hyperdrive engine bay inside the saucer.
The Falcon has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear. It also includes a working ramp.

There I was, minding my own business in our backyard, when I heard this ear splitting noise from above. An aeroplane, I thought at first, a jet. But noo, it was that weird hairy pantsless guy from next door again, buzzing away in that Falcon ship with his smuggler pal. Always working on that piece of junk, "special modifications", they say. Yeah, right! Don't they have mufflers in those things? Really!
I managed to catch a photo of the clearly illegal low pass, I'l submit it to the local police, that'll teach them.

Ah...It's that time of year again...Time to post the Christmas Loot!
This year's Christmas was really good! Sadly it was only my Aunt, Uncle, sister, brother in-law, and two nieces that came over because my other sister is pregnant and they didn't want to come down just incase she has the baby, so her, my other brother in-law, and my nephew didn't come. It felt a lot different without them, like something was missing, but it was still a fun time! This Christmas was special because I was finally able to get a Ps4 after so many years of wanting a gaming console. The only other console I had gotten was a Wii back in 2011 and that ran out of enjoyment and things to do pretty quick. I wanted an Xbox 360 that year, but my family didn't know, they just knew I loved playing my brother in-law's Wii and figured I would want that. I still had some great memories with that thing though, playing a bunch of Lego games and Mario Kart Wii (That was my shit), but I couldn't play any FPS or a lot of other games I wanted to play on the Wii.
Alright, anyway...So...I got the Ps4 Slim 500GB - Uncharted 4 bundle, Battlefield 1, GTA V, Battlefront Ultimate Edition (Definitely worth it now that its a complete game, unlike when it first came out), COD: Black Ops III, Destiny: The Collection, a fairly cheap Headset that was $30 (I know there are better ones, but at least this is better than the crappy one that comes with the Ps4. Also, this $30 one is actually decent, the sound and mic are pretty good!), a second controller for when friends come over (Yes...I have friends), and finally a Playstation Plus 1 year membership!
Other things I got (other than the Ps4 related things) were...The Lego Assault on Hoth set (Which is a great set, it just needed some modifications), the Ahsoka book, a Rogue One 2017 calendar, a Millennium Falcon USB Charging Cable, Chewbacca slippers that make his noises (Thank you, sister, haha), a DeathTrooper Funko Pop (Which is actually my first ever Funko Pop, if you can believe it!), a Stormtrooper Flameless LED candle, and an Imperial winter hat. Hmm...Do I like Star Wars? I wonder...lol.
Now just to let you guys know, the Ps4, the games, and the Hoth set were PARTIALLY paid for by family, but a lot of the money here in this haul was actually from what I saved up in the summer when I was cutting all those lawns due to my dad not being able to because of his broken foot. This Haul is a SUPER expensive one, and it never would've happened if I didn't have to take over my dad's neighborhood lawn business. I am extremely thankful God gave me this opportunity to earn as much money as I did.
Anyway, that's all for now! Hope all of you got some awesome things this year too! :)
I got this figure a while back, but I recently looked up the Legends canon and I am very impressed. While I know, we won’t be getting a movie with this character it’s a shame, because she is kinda badass. I also created a Thrawn custom, because I absolutely loved him in Rebels.

Finally I can present the finished stud.io MOC.
As you may noticed, there are some minor updates. I am pretty happy with the result. It also worked out quite well building this in stud.io. I think until i didn't rebuild the Stud.io version in real life (a simple instruction file is available now) , so there may be hidden conflicts .
But I already want to share the file with you. download at: download model + instructions
If you like to try yourself I what love to see your modifications! In my opinion this model is still "basic enough" to change or replace certain parts.
Now the key facts :
Total Bricks: 3356
Demensions : 56 studs long (44,6cm); 41 studs wide (32,8cm) and 27 studs high (22,2cm)

The interior structure is not the same at all. This is a sneak peek until I am done with the interior which I have also changed a lot since I last posted a photo of the ship. I will also need to finish the exterior as well to cover up the holes. I changed most of the pieces for older ones instead of the new and shiny ones because I do not think they gave the ship the right aesthetic.

I used to play with Cinema4D when I was younger, my favourite thing to do was soft lighting with luminous panels. It turns out Studio can do this too!

Bright suns, travelers!
Ever since building and sharing my miniature diorama of the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge layout based on the early Imagineering concept art in 2016 (long before the official name had been announced and many referred to the developing expansions at the time as “Star Wars Land,”) I had convinced myself that I was going to build larger, minifigure-scale sections of Batuu once the land was open and the details of Black Spire Outpost could be experienced up close and personal.
After pouring through as many reference photos, videos, and concept art as I could get my hands on, I now present a minifg-scale display of the entrance/facade to the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction, home of Ohnaka Transport Solutions.
With the iconic Millennium Falcon docked out front of the curved hangar bay, beneath the rocky spires of an alien world, this section of Galaxy’s Edge is perhaps what we all think of when we think of a perfect amalgamation of the visual aesthetics of not only the Galaxy’s Edge experience, but Star Wars in general. I worked diligently to capture all the details I could pack in at this scale, attempting to blend the natural landscape of the Batuu spires with the weathered and lived-in hangar building. Using the 75257 version of the Falcon (with some minor exterior modifications and added greebles), the rest was built up and around to create a bustling corner of Black Spire Outpost for Hondo Ohnaka to conduct his smuggling operations, while avoiding the suspicion of the First Order patrols.
Thanks for checking out my design! Good journeys to you all— Til the spire!
In 1975, the TV series Space: 1999 came out. In it, the series featured a spaceship called the Eagle. This was a year ahead of A New Hope, and it caused panic at LucasArt, because the design of the Eagle was too close to the original design of the ship originally intended for Han Solo. It was just called the Pirate Ship then, by the way. We know it as the Blockade Runner, however. So this $100.000 (1975 dollars) model was scraped, and the design for a new model was started, which ended with the Millennium Falcon, a direct response to the Eagle from 1999. Hence the name too: 1999 = Millennium, Eagle = Falcon. They kept the cockpit, by cutting it off the Blockade Runner, and transferring it to the new ship for Han Solo. The replacement hammerhead cockpit design in the Blockade Runner is actually two paint buckets glued together. And it was scaled up as an capital ship.
Millennium Falcon models designed with LEGO elements portraying the spaceship as it appears in Solo:A Star Wars Story (2018), and Star Wars:A New Hope (1977).
Navigating through the humongous storm cells in a giant gas planet atmosphere is a challenge even for a spaceship capable for interstellar travel. It’s not the supersonic crosswinds that risk overloading the stabilizers, it’s the way the downward surges can suck you into the thick lower atmosphere in a matter of seconds. There is no return from the depths.
The apparent calm and beauty of the pastel cloud layers is deceptive – and deadly.

Rey and Finn's celebrations at escaping Jakku are cut short when part of the ship begins to malfunction. Whilst Rey fixes a gas leak, Finn pleads with BB-8 to reveal the location of the Resistance base to Rey, because she still does not know that he was a Stormtrooper. The ship is caught in a tractor beam and is pulled into a massive freighter. Rey and Finn don gas-masks, hide, and prepare to flood the ship with gas, but a pair of smugglers find them before they can complete their plan. Han Solo and Chewbacca have stolen back the Millenium Falcon.
Ten years ago I made a poster, it was made for fun and to catalogue the spaceships (and a snowspeeder) that had accumulated in the cupboards over the years at the time. It is probably the single most enduring image I have made, not my best or most influential, but one that regularly keeps coming up in social media even after all these years – and always with the same comments: the spaceships are not in scale!
Since the old poster is… old, I decided to make this, a new poster to accompany it, let’s say it’s a ten year anniversary special. The Vol.2 has all the spaceship models I have built since that first poster was made. A full decade of building and photographing spaceships! It’s not a bad life, you know.
The scales in the new poster are all over the place just like in the first one. I made this one more obvious though, I trust people will understand.
The earlier poster captures a watershed moment in my scale models by the way, there are not a single light in any of the old models. All models in the new poster (except the Apollo LEM) have lights built in. They just look nice and proper with lights.
If you need anything shipped, this one will do it fast.

I collaborated again with tz_machine and we created this little animation of my new Mini-Scale Death Star Hangar Bay 272 Diorama MOC with my Mini-Scale Millennium Falcon inside. The Hangar contains 5403 pieces, the Millennium Falcon 533.

This was very very hard to achieve with how busy it is at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge!
Also the use of tripods is not allowed so i had to blast my ISO pretty high. Very happy with the turn out, just wish it was darker and i had a tripod!
Hope you all like!

The main idea of my MOD is to try to get that sleek shape as much as possible, using the 2019 Millennium Falcon set 75257 as base.
The biggest changes are: reducing the height of the official set, lengthening the top and bottom panel to give that "sandwich" look and adding tiles to cover the entire ship.
For me, this is meant to be displayed, so I didn't work on the interior (apart from the cockpit and docking ramp), but i did keep the interior empty so it is possible to add them!
Seeing the Millennium Falcon up close and in person is really something, and its setting makes it even more impressive.
