Build the Millennium Falcon USA - Issue 4 Assembly

A few weeks ago, I saw a video over on the Tested YouTube channel of the Build the Millennium Falcon kit and I couldn't stop thinking about it!! I actually had a dream a few days later that I was building one for myself, and so when I woke up the next day, I ordered my subscription for the kit!!

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 click on the following link:

Excellent series so far. I'm actually contemplating this build myself and I am aware of the huge commitment. You mentioned a builders forum for this project, can you please provide a link for those who might be looking for more information? Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Great video Brad! I am enjoying your weekly updates. I am almost sold on getting this. Do they guarantee you the full build if you start this late in the build?

Will the binder for the mags come with your next box?

Is there any mention of the weight of the finished model? Just curious.
