    Thanks a lot Daniel! The Falcon can be safely grabbed by the two "corridors" that split the saucer in half on each side, as they're part of the very strong core structure underneath. It can be moved around easily that way and even rotated 45-60 degrees. The rest of the structure that supports most of the saucer is quite compact and intricate so I wouldn't advise grabbing the ship from anywhere else, and it wouldn't be a confortable grip anyway. Check out the Brickvault video, Jack talks about the overall sturdiness and handling of the ship:

    And it's pretty damn heavy! Thanks a lot :)

    Thanks a lot! Achieving the ILM prop look is my number 1 priority :)

    The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy just joined my Midi-Scale ship collection! Here comes the Millennium Falcon from Episode IV – A New Hope. Made of 2,178 pieces, measuring only 34cm and weighting almost 1kg, this compact yet dense Falcon was another unique challenge at this scale. After seeing some great-looking Figscale MOCs of this tricky ship, I couldn't resist making a Midi version. With this design, I took a different approach than most other Falcons out there, and wanted it to look as sleek and gapless as possible. This resulted in a pretty elaborate and unique mix of paneling techniques that involved a lot of SNOT building. One of my priorities was to faithfully reproduce the curved saucer shape on both sides of the ship, and not only on top. As a result, the build features all the details and shapes of the original 1977 studio model, from top to bottom. The overall thickness of the ship was another concern. I wanted it to be as thin as the original, while being able to sandwich some tasty greebles and even the hyperdrive engine bay inside the saucer. The Falcon has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear. It also includes a working ramp. ► Instructions for the Millennium Falcon are available at BrickVault. More pictures on my Flickr page.

    Hi everyone, My Midi-Scale TIE collection expands again with a new TIE starfighter: the TIE Striker from Rogue One. Made of 730 pieces, this TIE Striker features a fully SNOT surface, a smooth cockpit section, and includes blaster cannons below the cockpit. Design-wise, this ship really felt like a natural continuation of my previous TIE Reaper MOC. Although being almost Minifig-scaled, (hence the Midi-scale) this ship obviously doesn't have any interior due to the techniques used and small space allowed for the internal structure. Due to the front-heavy nature of the design, a rather long (but very simple) stand had to be made in order for the ship to remain perfectly steady and horizontal. The overall build is pleasantly sturdy for a display model and can be moved around easily. Hope you guys like it! ► Instructions for the TIE Striker are available on Rebrickable or via email at flyinspace.mocs@gmail.com More pictures on my Flickr page.

    Happy new year everyone! :) Thought I'd post some of my favorite Negotiator builds I received from around the world. Some of you might be members of the forum so thanks again for building my stuff, and more to come soon!

    As an absolute fan of the original trilogy, I had to build more Empire ships in Midi-Scale. I decided to start with my favorite TIE model, the TIE Advanced. This 496-piece TIE Advanced features a fully SNOT and detailed surface. It also includes rear engine thrusters at the back of the cockpit dome. Most importantly, being able to design smooth but razor thin wings was the key to making this build look proportionate and realistic. The same applies for the rear section of the fuselage which, being only 1 tile-high, ended up looking just a thin as the original prop model. Logically, the ship scales well to my previous TIE Reaper - I'll keep exploring more of these in the same scale, and maybe one day have a whole fleet of Midi TIE ships! ► Instructions will be available at Rebrickable soon.

    Ooops, missed your comment Ron, thanks a ton! The model is quite sturdy overall. Structure is solid and heavy, and the core of the ship (sides of the body) can be grabbed safely. There are a few more delicate angled parts on top that you wouldn't want to swoosh too much, but everything stays in place when flying it around :)

    Thanks!

    Thanks so much! Yes I love the non-Lego look :)

    "I like your ship. She's a classic. Razor Crest, am I right?" My Midi-Scale collection keeps expanding with more than a classic piece of spaceship, the legendary Razor Crest from The Mandalorian. Made of 1,230 pieces, 30cm long, this baby ST-70 Gunship has a total of... zero stud across its entire surface, making it a true 100% SNOT build. At such a size, replicating all the complex angles and features of the original model required advanced SNOT techniques. I really wanted to push the limits of what could be done at such a small scale. Capturing the tapered body also required making a very compact 2 stud wide structure that could still hold everything together securely. The ship has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear. Hope you like it! ► Instructions for the Razor Crest are available at BrickVault.

    Thank you Daniel! The weird design of the Mandator is quite interesting, it's been on my to do list for a while now. I still have 5 ships to make instructions for and release, so the schedule is full at the moment!
  23. FlyInSpace
    Thanks so much Ron! And thanks for noticing all of the small details I included. I'm on a long Midi-Scale streak right now, and I'm not done yet! Much more to come soon :)

    Thanks a lot! Thank you Maverick, it means a lot :)

    "Wrecker, easy with my ship. "Your ship?" My Midi-Scale collection expands again with this nanofig-scaled Havoc Marauder from the Bad Batch series. Despite the small size, I once again went for a full SNOT look and paid close attention to proportions of the original shuttle. The build comes with a discrete, transparent stand to be displayed in flight mode. ► Instructions for the Havoc Marauder are available at Rebrickable or via email at flyinspace.mocs@gmail.com More pictures on my Flickr page.
