Time to advertise how sad I am! Got my first issues of the Build the Millenium Falcon through. Also got my free Millennium Falcon blueprint free t-shirt. Time to start bullding. Impressed with the quality of the components. Not much plastic. Nearly all metal.

I saw the advert for that and it does look pretty sweet! I hope it's worth the £900 it will end up costing...

31X24X6inch. Basically nearly 2 and half by two foot. Bloody big, put it that way! But has a full lighting system.

That is going to be spectacular! How many magazines will you have to get?

weekly or fortnightly?

thats a long time either way.

You get sent 4 per month.

I'd be tempted to build it after receiving all of the issues.

Always build it as you get the magazines. Otherwise, you can be tempted to rush it and make mistakes.

For an example, I've just done the first issue. Don't worry, it takes longer as you go on. Here is a gun turret and the cockpit console panel. All the little white bits are where LED's shine through to light the interior.

Jesus that's more than two years on an average of one per week.

I thought his when I started my ship, but it gets to a point where an issue takes a week to do anyway, so you don't really notice the gap.

Raymond Lin · 14 Jan 2015 at 17:26

If you do get to finish it, it'll be massive, any idea where you going to put it?

You get a free bracket to wall mount it in a flying position. It's supposed to very bright as well. Might end up with the ultimate in night lights

You should start a thread with weekly updates and pics.

The other problem too is if it gets to week 30 and they're only selling 100 mags they might decide to pull the build off the shelf, then what?

100/52 weeks in year = 1 year 48 weeks when I was at school :confused:

No chance of that at all with Deagostinii. they have been going years and continue to declare profit year in year out. Besides, once they commit a model to the shops and TV advertisements, that is it. It will run its course.

Sounds like I might look into it. £30-£40 a month isn't too bad for something to do, whilst also ending up with something that may be worth a few quid at the end of it.
