Have a nice and sunny weekend folks

Minifig rule No. 563722 Don´t call the Falcon a trash can. Right now I got a boring discussion, who is the real owner of the ship.

Wohooo, yes this looks fantastic. Thank you for the ideas, I will implement a few of them in my build. Good work, it´s looking much more detailed than before. Klaus

Hehe, I´m talking about Fortuna Düsseldorf.

It´s a great one. I like especially the mirror look of the pool. Two thumbs up

Which piece do you mean? The cockpit piece?

He he in one batch? Respect! The building of this monster is like juggling with ants, you´ve to think up to 40 steps forward and 40 steps back for every single building step. Sometimes you got the missing pieces days later than you really need them. It´s a switching forward and backward process. One of the most important things, you have to be accurate with the BL wanted list, every fault is one too much and will kick you days back. But I enjoy this way of building, it´s a real challenge, brain jogging. Stay tuned....

Hey together, after recieving the radio handles it´s time for an update. It´s the frustrating "My football team is going to loose" update. My working area during a away football game. Please wish us a good second halftime or I will destroy the falcon....... ....hehe no, I will never destroy it. Maybe some of our players.

Hey Warmaster, could you add a detail shot of the engine at the back?

It´s time for a short saturday night update with a few pictures. I´m going to start the skin. stay tuned....

Today just a minor update, I´m starting to build the control unit. .... to avoid impatient, spoiled children.

Hehe, ok I understand. You are a kind of Legooligan.

Your length discussion is a bit offtopic, isn´t it?

OK mortesv, to answer your desire. At first some actual facts about the money. 5195 Pieces needed. 1. Bricklink 3 pieces - 14,92€ (Chewbacca/Han Solo/Leia) recieved 2. Bricklink 504 pieces - 31,18€ (Hinges/ Technic Bricks/Tiles) recieved 3. Bricklink 95 pieces - 26,80€ (Wedges/Lightsaber) recieved 4. Bricklink 170 pieces - 16,55€ (extreme mixed) recieved 5.

Second Hand 200 pieces - 19€ (mixed) recieved 9. Bricklink 198 pieces - 22,30€ (Radio Handle/mixed) ordered 10.Bricklink 176 pieces - 23,42€ (Wedges) ordered Summary: 2300 pieces - 218,95€ My owbn stock: 1300-1500 pieces - around 140€ (mixed) costs right now 385€ and 3640 pieces That are the hard facts until now. So let´s turn to the funny side of life. The falcon is not big, he is huuuugggeeeeeee. And there was a first attempt to let him fly. The progress will be getting slower right now, I reached my monthly limit of investment, but the story will continue..... Have fun!

The falcon is going to be standing on own feets. The super structure is don. But I got a real problem right now, Leia is in the house and everybody is going crazy.

It´s friday night, the guys don´t realize that I´m building the engine. They think it´s a disco, damn Party Wars.

My office colleague from turkey suggest tan.

I did the download way and printed it with a inkjet printer in the office, there is a click, brrrr, ping, click, brrrrr, ping, click,..... of 316 pages in my head.

Waiting for the next BL order is not such a good idea. The guys starting to make trouble. As you can see, I changed the upper pin connectors against bushes, because they will already vanished inside the corpus.

Time for the next step until the first orders arrive. The 5x5 technic bricks are still missing, I´m waiting for the postman. Hope they will be delivered until the end of the week. I need them to finish the super structure. If you look closely, you will see some minor changes. But waiting for pieces is the way to start with the first body part. Hehe, I know some purist will cry right now, the dark red plate is not there. Why? I don´t find a fair slot to buy it, but this plate is easy to change, if I found a cheap one. @Saint You can read my mind, I think the falcon is a kind of galaxy trash bin, so it should be looking really dirty. For sure, I will use different grey bricks to create this look. I don´t want to sell it, I build just it to enjoy myself. Look at the back, I changed some light grey vs. dark grey and mixed the different grey tones Have fun and stay tuned for the next step.

:-) Simple, but good hint. Thank you.

Hey folks, thanks for your replies. @Evok and Brickadeer You are right, these are the most expensive pieces. I´ll try to find a solution to use the black ones and color them in a reliable way. @lego envy I will not post every single step, but major steps or usefull changes to the original. keep on rocking Klaus

Shaking hands, be sure, I would never try to suppress or offend anyone. It´s just my way of showing problems in a humorous way.

Ok I have to accept your opinion. But this small thing has nothing to do with any anniversaries. For example, I´m growing up in germany and I´ll don´t forget 365 days of a year our bad past in germany, so I don´t care about any anniversaries. Sorry to meet the wrong date, to post an ever actual problem in the world. I´m not the one to reflect just one day in a year. Edit: Just correcting a few letters
