Hopefully this will give me the kick up the arse to build the original that's still in boxes and I keep forgetting about.

For painting this you should consider the Archive X paints set for the ESB falcon. They are excellent. Made from the original Floquil paint used on the studio models.

Oh man I just pulled the trigger. I can't wait to start.

Good to see you and your channel still going

A nice trick to align pieces with matching holes on the surface (like the main console panel and its sticker) is to use toothpicks as guides.

The game is afoot!! I am finishing the ecto and my wife is starting the Millenium

I’ve been here since the last 8 videos of your millennium falcon build jeez that’s a few years ago lol but happy days to you Wayne

Brings back memories. I did the same build from DeAgostini. I modified the turrets like you did and I also did the Main Hold area floor, walls and maintenance wells with parts from Shapeways and added the chair Obi Wan sat in, added the tools for Han. I figured if it was going to be seen with the panels off, I might as well make it look like Han was fixing things. I would love to get that table stand tho. Right now mine is sitting on a 38" diameter round table. It runs on the batteries as I could never get the wall plug to work and DeAgostini was good on replacing parts when bad or missing, but they went out of business when I needed to have those parts replaced. I got all my kit and by the time I needed to fix that portion, they were gone. So it sits with batteries when I want to show it off. Remote never worked either.

Honestly, the fact this doesn't come prepainted makes me feel like the best approach is to either paint the parts as they arrive, then assemble, or the more tedious one, wait the 2 years to obtain ALL the parts, paint everything, then assemble. -_- I feel that by assembling each issue as they arrive will make painting much more difficult in the long run.

About the same size as the Lego UCS set 75192, Never seen a model to this scale which is really awesome!

So happy you are doing this. I put together my 1st package just the other day

Wayne, Wayne , Wayne... I remember the last episode when nr.1 was finished. You were so sad. But hey. Now you have room to store those parts... Lets see what you come up to this time. Thumbs up.

Please keep the Falcon videos coming. This video was a huge help to me. Cheers

I really enjoyed the original build of this Millennium Falcon from DeAgostini. It was a 2 year build and proved to be quite an adventure. On my model I did all the exterior painting modifications as recommended by some experts who studied it in detail. I also followed along with all your build videos that you provided also. This proved to be the heaviest and most detailed model I have ever done. I'm quite tempted to build this one again.

You’re building the millennium falcon again with all the sprue wow

TF = Top Frame. I went back and rewatched your original build on this when I signed up for mine last month. Glad to see you re-doing this...will be interesting to see what the community does with mods on this one. I already have 1,000 ideas, and have already been 3D printing up some additional details for the interior.

I am going to enjoy watching you build the Millennium Falcon, I hope I get to build it too some day.

OMG!!! That is much bigger than I thought it would be! I would have to rent another flat just to have room for it... lol

Just received my first package today. Looking forward to building along with you Wayne.

Wayne you have made my day. All I have at the moment is the revell option. I’m gonna get the fan home and start building. Looking forward to following you on the build.

wayne i did r2 it came out awesome thinking about this build just checking it out and ty you totally helped me with the R2 build

I remember watching you for the first time. You have come along way

Thank you Wayne I will be building along with you as my pack arrived yesterday. And also thank you for revisiting this build.

I’m starting my build and just received my first package a couple weeks will be following this build

I remember when you put this out the first time. Was my first model I did.

The hull part is missing plating detail on the falling edges. Odd as this was missing on the original UK release but corrected for the later French and Japanese issues.

Thank you so much for doing this. just got my first pack last week, you were so instrumental in helping me with my R2.

i believe the TF means Top Frame

Great to see you taking a trip back in time. I think I was there at the beginning of your original videos. Looking forward to the upgraded videos!

I'll be watching these videos since I did not see the original build from the start, but I won't be building this one. I simply do not have the room for a model this size! Looks like fun tho.

I just can't believe someone went to the trouble of producing such an intricate kit. All the in-depth research and manufacturing involved. Are there any videos that look inside the company and factory that produce these? OTT.

Great stuff

Anyone who has the time and skill can take this kit and modify it to reflect different points in either ESB or RotJ (She only had three landing gear in the original Star Wars - or ANH for you young'uns). This includes battle damage, laser scoring, and various armour plating being replaced (usually reflected by being different colours from the rest of the hull). I did notice that the magazines have been Disneyfied, so many details from the original build's magazines may have been altered or even removed to match Disney's version of the canon. However, the build itself should be pretty much unaltered, so this model is a great choice for fans of the Lucas Canon. Fun Fact: Every single model of the Falcon was different, especially when it came to greeblies. There's actually an entire online community devoted to trying to reconstruct the lost five-foot ESB model. They collect every photo they can find of the original model and painstakingly locate and catalogue every single model kit and part that was used on the ship - most of which are now extremely rare.It's even worse because there are angles of the work bays that were never photographed and bits were known to break off and either get gued back on or be left laying in the bays. Some of the people involved are going so far as to 3D print the parts in an attempt to build an exact replica of the five-foot model as personal projects. On a more personal note, I'm so glad to see you revisiting this build! The original videos weren't bad, but you've become so polished over the years that even a couple years back they felt positively antiquated. Here's to hoping you'll be able to redo the Thunderbirds build as well at some point.

Fanhome may have sorted out mistakes from Deagostini and not wait future issues for the cockpit etc

I'm sure that they must have used a much bigger filming model as well, as some of the 'enging' cooling things (the circular parts on the back) were made from Tamiya 1'35 scale German tank parts,...

I had started this model years ago under DeAgostini, and had gotten about half way through when I had to stop. I truly wish (and I asked) if it would be possible to start this model at a specific issue, like we were able to with Ecto 1 and the Enterprise D, but we can't. So as much as I want to do this one, I'm not sure I want to start over when I have the entire underside and most of the top assembled in my basement.

Great vid

I got this kit this year as well Wayne. Just don't know when I'll have the time to put it together! 😂 another one to collect dust in the closet. 😢 But I'll sure enjoy watching this series of yours. When I do get the time to do the hobby again, it'll be too work on the Cygnus. I will get that done for next year's Wonderfest I promise.

I so wish I could get this in South Africa 😢

I was wondering if you were going to redo do the Falcon, i look forward to following you as you go through the stages. I think i may be a month ahead of you, but i will follow as you progress through your build.

I remember Harrison Ford said when he saw the cockpit sets, he asked "How do we fly it?" There was no control stick or yoke

wonder when you would build this

The finished article is going to be epic ! Can i ask what will the total cost be of this when finished ??

Awesome

Is this going too be a better version?? If its as good il be interested...thanks Wayne for these vids

Wayne,could you recommend a suitable storage box for this,to keep everything safe,and that will keep the falcon safe when finished

Great video since you convince me to side up for this build. I was wondering what type of oil you use to dip the screws in? Thanks again

So is it me or does this millennium falcon from fanhome seams to come weathered compared to the Diagostinis. Just got my second pack and I think I'm noticing some weathering effects.

Wayne may I make two suggestions please? (not sure why I ask and then do it anyway *LOL*) For the cockpit overlay two cocktail sticks at diagonal corners of the sticker aligned to the same corner of the part, then slide the sticker down to align it perfectly. Ditto (ish) for the cockpit panel alignment :) Empty clear film canisters to store spare screws. You know from the many builds you've done there will be spares. Then write the name of each type on the canister with a permanent marker. Amazon do up to 12 canisters for only a few quid :) Thinking about it the canisters may be handy for small parts the modeller has to keep safe between stages. Then just write on the can the stage they came with and/or the part name/number. BTW for Stage 1, I think the label should read Laser Cannon not Laser Cutting :)

So looks like you're just going with the stock cockpit? I was planning to upgrade mine but there are so many different options out there I'm not sure which to go with...

It would be cool if they made 3d printed decals for the cockpit

Everyone paints the game table with white and black checker. It's actually silver if you watch The new hope movie.

Look at the size of that thing

Wayne, if I recall correctly there is no need for oil on the screws because the holes they go into are actually threaded. Instead of oil I believe I used locktite on mine.

I'm happy to see that you are building this model again. Do you think they'll come out with another X-wing ad well? If they do, will you be building that as well?

I've wanted to do one of these Falcon builds forever. How often do they send an issue? Meaning how long does it take to build the full 100 issues?

Omg IV just spotted Robbie the Robot do you have a link to that build Sir ...

One thing I've always wondered. The glue you use. We don't have that brand here in the US. Have you heard anything about a comparable brand of glue in the US?

How do I get this kit, I thought they discontinued this kit. Thank you for sharing, awesome channel

Like video

I wonder if they will start selling the x-wing too, if they do will you redo the build videos of it as well like you are with the falcon, the enterprise, and delorian?

I watched your original build, hope this goes easier than the first time around. With redoing the DeLorean and redoing this, you must be a bit of a glutton for punishment. Cheers.

whoo-hoo ! it's not often that one gets to make first comment on a W o W video... looking forward to the falcon build.

Hi Wayne I’ve looked at your store and I cannot find your screwdrivers?

How does this work they send you the parts in pairs when you sign up

If I could buy the whole thing at once, I might do it, but there is no way I'm going to subscribe and get crap mailed to me once a month over the space of three years.

Will you be putting it over the tv wayne ?

When are you adding new episodes

Your audio stopped working

It’s really too bad DeAgostini cancelled my subscription to the Millennium Falcon. I got 90% of the kit which took almost 4 years to get due to COVID only to be cancelled right at the finish line. What a waste, was really looking forward to building it.

The opening quote from the movie soundtrack? Harrison Ford as "Han Solo"... it's such a ridiculous statement. "Point 5 past light speed". What?!? Even AT the speed of light it's 4.3 years to the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri.

F is frame Wayne 😄😄

If only that had improved the paint job

F for frame

whoo-hoo, not often one gets first comment in on a W o W video...

***remodel the lavatory*** ***buy the Millennium Falcon*** ***remodel the lavatory*** ***buy the Millennium Falcon*** Wayne, please would you speak to my Wife?

The model is not going to fit on your desk. Will you be filming out in your garden at some point ? LOL

are you not afraid of getting stuck with a half finished kit again ?

Mi ricordo ancora quando lo facevi la prima volta .......spero arrivi in Italia
