Not much I can add to this that hasn't already been said.  This is a superb design; the comparison to the UCS version is great, it must have been huge!  Do you have any plans for a new version?  :classic:

Not any more - I took apart the set a long time ago. :)
No panic just yet guys, i think (hope) he means he took the official UCS set apart and not his own MOC version!

This is an absolutely gorgeous MOC, Pepa.  The scale, the detailing, the interior :drool:, I love it.

I've seen your earlier versions previously on Brickshelf and not meaning to detract from the quality and skill of those builds, I have to say that this one is light year's ahead. How could you resist photographing this beauty for 5 years!? The greebling is amazing and it even looks great from underneath. Awesome is an overused word but this is the kind of MOC its use should be reserved for.  :thumbup:

On a personal note, I spent many hours drooling over your Sandcrawler back in the days when I was only showing early signs AFOLism, so you are partially responsible for my decline into Lego obsessive :laugh:

Really surprising work, I would have never imaging someone would have try to build a larger scale falcon.
I really like what you did with the interior, but, don't blame me for my word, I don't have the same "wahou" factor with the exterior detail, not sure why, maybe the way the greebles are done, or the shape, I can't find the exact word to match why I'm puzzled. Matter of taste I admit, though:)

Very impressive, the whole thing is exactly how I would imagine the ideal Millennium Falcon.  I really like all the studs showing. :thumbup: They give it that textured feel the Falcon has.

Beautifully done! The exterior is stunning but the interior is what sets it apart for me  :thumbup:

It's still not my wet dream come true, but in oh so many ways this is more awesome than any other build I've seen so far. Bloody amazing!

A piece of art! Best falcon ever!

I wish I had 1/5 of your talent.

This model highlights the flaws of the UCS Falcon -- its non-exstant interiors.

WOW! Absolutely gigantic work.
Alone the size is most impressive, the inner workings a total eye-catcher and very true to the original.
I might try with my UCS Millenium Falcon :classic:

Amazing feat you achieved here. It reminds me an amazing website done in the 90's, huge by hundreds of pages, where die-hard fans tried to make plans of all that was visible in the three SW movies. They had a very tough time with the Falcon, especially with the corridors, and cockpit size and scale. Their conclusions were that the Falcon was impossible. Rooms could not fit, ramps where impossible to deploy, cockpit was way wrong, corridors could not connect the way we see them in the movies. That was depressing for the least. Now your model is amazing by the way you managed to make everything work together.

By the way, did you made actually opening ramps in the sides?

All the best,
