Another Hasbro Millennium Falcon


Recommended Posts

This is my take on the Millennium Falcon using the Hasbro 28 inch version as the base. I have made a wooden frame for the inside that supports everything. BM Members Badger , Towerpower and Swamp Donkey donated lots of scrap parts for me to kitbash the sidewalls and jawbox interior. Jaitea provided resin equipment bays and engine exhausts. I have made a lightbox for the engine that is fitted with 15 wide angle leds. Its not perfect but it gives the impression theres and engine.

Im currently just finishing the missing armour panels from the top of the ship.

Not a Sci-fi modeller, but I take it that this kit is an accurate model of the falcon as modelled by ILM? I had heard that the film prop used many, many parts from Airfix kits and the likes. Spotted so far the rear engine decks or a Tiger of Panther tank (x3), Sherman wheels and suspension, and various tank tracks. Might have another look and see what else I can spot!

It was marketed as a toy but was actually quite a nice model. It had no detail on the sidewalls just stickers.The details are a mixture of the 5 foot filmimg miniature and the 32 inch one. You may spot some bits on the sidewalls , theres alot of 1/72/76 tank bits , HK 1/32 Do335 parts , tamiya mossie parts etc.
