    [MOC] [LXF] Minifig-scale Phantom from Star Wars Rebels

    Many, many thanks to @monkypaws for making his instrctions available for free on rebrickable - link here. This page contains both a step-by-step set of instructions and a parts list. The details section contains a list of rare parts to check before attempting a build. (This has also been added to the first post).

    Bricklinked UCS Millennium Falcon - MODded heavily

    Since we're reviving this old topic now: I pulled the model out of storage earlier this year and took another crack at it. The engine mod is the same. Most of the bodywork has been changed. Here are some 95% complete WIP shots: And a beauty shot that didn't turn out too bad: I may post a final gallery here once I've found the time to finish the interior and got a better camera setup. Acknowledgements: I have borrowed ideas from Chrome Vader (with his kind permission), The BrickVault Falcon (I bought the instructions...), the second UCS model (nice printed bits and the tops of the docking rings are OK) and various posts about the docking rings from the UCS mods thread here on Eurobricks.

    Bricklinked UCS Millennium Falcon - MODded heavily

    (You need to picture lightning crashing around a remote Scottish castle somewhere and Mad Scientist Dave bringing the corpse of this topic back to life, aided by gravedigger @BaronStoke). IT LIIIVVVEEESSS!!!! I've refreshed the links on the first post, as requested. They all should work now, any problems give me a shout. The particular file you wanted: Engines - mod only

    @Gobbel, glad that you're OK with stud.io, thank you for the kind words. @monkypaws I appreciate that you are on holiday. When you're ready, I would still like a copy of the instructions you created so I can share a link in the first post: it would be nice for anyone else who wants to build it.

    You might want to chase up @monkypaws about that: he never sent me any instructions so the best I can offer is the most recent .io file:https://www.dropbox.com/s/e7zj68ot55dxpww/Phantom.io?dl=0 Also the stickers to go with it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9u46vqw6rrs36ii/Phantom Stickers.png?dl=0 The io file opens in bricklink's Stud.io: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/download.page You can use Stud.io to view and deconstruct the model. You can also connect to Bricklink from within Stud.io and generate the part list. Good luck!

    [MOC] Minifig-Scale Millennium Falcon

    Thanks for the link! I watched the video shortly after it came out yesterday. Once again, very impressive work. It's great to see how the removable panels work and to see more of the interior details. Sadly, Texas is a bit far for me to go (there's ano ocean in the way) but good luck with the display.

    Thank you for the extra interior photos: they look perfectly fine to me. It's good to see the hatches in place in both the cargo holds. Thank you also for the photo of the landing gear. That 5-wide throwing disk piece is the perfect size, and it's clear that you modelled the landing gear closely on that of the miniature.

    [MOC] Minifig-Scale Millennium Falcon

    I love a good Millennium Falcon model, and this one is gorgeous. I'm excited to see how closely you've followed the 32" plans (my favourite Falcon) and the results look amazing. So smooth! So detailed! Even the underside has all the correct details and areas of colour right where they're meant to be. I love the way you constructed the mandibles: they look really, really neat. The interior looks awesome as well. I especially like that you've included inner airlock doors on the docking rings: something I've always thought should be there even if we never see them. Did you build landing gear as well, or is it meant to be displayed only on the technic stand?
  9. As an alternative suggestion for the big cone piece: when I built my Falcon I used a trans-light-blue piece. I designed and printed out a sticker on my inkjet printer. My sticker file is here on my dropbox. My Falcon is in storage right now but you can check out photos on my flickr feed (link in my signature). If you want some close-ups I can be persuaded to dig the cockpit piece out for a quick photo shoot.

    Fondor Haulcraft - where’s the MOCS?

    Mostly the same pictures but some good interior shots as well: https://imgur.com/a/Ve9ATk5

    Fondor Haulcraft - where’s the MOCS?

    I wish you hadn't said that . I was just getting interested in this pocket Falcon. If they do a Razor Crest on it before we even know it's actual proper name, I'm going to be a bit sad.

    Fondor Haulcraft - where’s the MOCS?

    Funny to be seeing this question. I was having the exact same thoughts earlier today. I started sketching the front of this ship at lunchtime and working out which parts to use for a minifig-scale version. I don't know how far I'll get but I'll probably have a go in Stud.io soon, see what I come up with. Like icm says, this ain't no N-1. I did a moc of that in a day. This might take a bit longer.

    That looks great! I like the way the modified wings look, and I am pleased to see it built. I hope you and your son have a lot of fun with it. I'll send you a PM with my email address

    Life gets busy, doesn't it? Sorry to hear about the Covid, but glad to hear you're making progress. Take your time, get it right :-).

    I would love a copy of the instructions once you're done with them - I can make them available to anyone else who wants to build this. Good luck with your build! I also have both a son and a cat (although my son at age 15 is no longer excited by Lego) so I appreciate the challenges of keeping things built.
