Hi, everyone! I just wanted to say thank you for your kind words and provide some more information on the table. I've seen a lot of comments asking about different things, so I'll try to answer as many questions as possible here. Dimensions: 89,5 x 99 x 53 cm (or approximately 35.2" x 39" x 21") That's excluding the acrylic case and the glass panel. So, basically just the Lego and the frame it sits on. The acrylic case is 7mm strong in order to support the glass and also be strong enough so you can put your feet up, etc. The glass panel itself is 120,5 x 131cm (about 47.4" x 51.6") and 1cm (.4") strong. The frame I made myself. Its really just a simple steel design made to fit the footprint of the MOC. The legs are pretty short (about 11cm/4.3") with threads to accommodate those off the shelf feet (I don't know if that's what you call them. I'm talking about the little knobs on furniture/washing machines/etc. you can use to adjust for unevenness of the ground). Also, since some of you were asking about the cost, well that's a little difficult to answer. I can only tell you what I paid. But that's really not saying all that much, because those are very regional prices (also, it's all in EUR, not $US). Anyway, here's an overview: UCS Millennium Falcon - 800€ Hangar Bay MOC - approx. 600€ Acrylic Case - 650€ Glass Panel - 450€ Lights - 150€ Steel Frame - free for me Grand Total - 2650€ (or 1850€ excluding the Falcon) Sounds pretty intimidating, I know. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have done it, had I known how much it would end up costing me in advance. It kinda just happened. Step by step. I bought the Falcon when it came out and built it. Then it sat there for a while as I had no idea where to put it. Some time later I stumbled across the different MOCs for the Hangar Bay designed to fit the Falcon and decided to build one. And pretty soon I figured I could make the whole thing into a table for the living room. That's the whole story. Update: For anyone wondering since there are a lot of Docking Bay 327 MOCs out there, this is the one I used: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-0631/jmfbtb/lego-docking-bay-327-for-ucs-falcon/#comments Also, the instructions are free, so that pretty awesome.
Your story is exactly the same as mine. I am planning to do the same as you and build the table but out of wood. Was wondering where you got the acrylic. Thanks
@@james_fernandes Good luck building your table! Also, I’d love to see it once it’s done. As for the acrylic case, there’s a company nearby where I live that does pretty much everything your want with acrylic, so I didn’t have to order it or anything.
@@iainfraser7598 Hi! Thank you! And sorry for the late reply. Anyway, I got my lights from www.lightmybricks.com but you should definitely look for a cheaper source. There's a bunch of cheaper alternatives depending on where you live. However, there's no actual kit available anywhere as far as I know. Most brands specializing in lighting solutions for Lego do offer separate parts, though. So, just look at your build, count the number of lights you want to incorporate and try measuring how long of a cable you'd be needing for each one. This will give you a basic idea of the components you'll need.
Nice to see the hangar bay completed and lit. This is something like what I've been considering. That or the hangar on Tatooine. I like the look of the transparent case because it allows 360 degrees of visibility.
This is amazing good job on the scene too, wish I could marvel at this in person. Also, thanks for the inspiration. I have most of the star wars [current lego catalog] "OG" vehicles and just purchased and completed the discovery space shuttle with Hubble telescope set and the shuttle would be perfect for this.
How is the acrylic case attached to the base? And then how is the glass top attached to the acrylic case? Sorry for all the questions, I'm doing some research as I'm planning to build a similar thing. And If the lights stop working, is it possible to lift the whole thing up and replace wires/battery etc? Cheers
Hi, the acrylic case isn't really attached. There's a groove in the wood that it rests on. It works pretty well. No issues so far. The glass just sits on 4 rubber feet. As for the lights: The battery is accessible through a door in the bottom. The wires and lights themselves require opening the whole thing, though.
Hi, I’m not sure what you mean exactly. Sorry, I don’t speak French, so I used Google Translate. Are you asking about the rebrickable link, or the steel frame?
Awesome. Have fun with the build! Unfortunately, the only thing I can tell you about the acrylic case is to look for a company somewhat close to where you live. In my case, there just happens to be one very close to me, so I just dropped by and asked about it. One thing you should do is finish the build first and take very careful measurements to give to whatever company you choose to do the case. Also, keep in mind to ask about and account for manufacturing tolerance.
Well, the Lego build for the docking bay itself is actually by jmfbtb. However, you'll need to make some changes to account for the lights and wires. Unfortunately, I haven't made any plans or instructions for that. I was pretty much figuring it out while building. It's not that hard, though. The most difficult part is the wall, at least if you want the wires to be completely invisible, which is what I did. Also, you should definitely elevate the whole thing by 1 brick from the base plate level. That way you can tuck away the wires neatly and you'll have a much easier time assembling the table around the MOC. Here's the original MOC on Rebrickable: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-0631/jmfbtb/lego-docking-bay-327-for-ucs-falcon/
@@KingFab87 I am sorry to say that Fake Lego brand Lepin. Stole the MOC design and is selling it as a set for around 450 dollars. Really to bad for the original designer. lepinland.com/shop/must-have-moc/moc-327-star-wars-docking-bay-hanger-for-ucs-falcon-limited-edition-by-dennis-burger/
Thank you very much! It’s actually an acrylic glass box that’s put over the build with a separate actual glass panel on top. The acrylic box is made of 6mm panels and the glass panel is 15mm. As for securing the pieces: if you mean the Lego pieces, they’re not glued down or anything. Just normally built, so I can take the whole thing apart if I feel like changing something. If you’re asking about the glass, I’ve had that made by a local acrylic company. I believe they’re glued together.
Hi, this looks awesome. I'm currently building the same hangar but cant find a table to display it. Can I ask where yu got your table from and how did you go about finding it! I'm at a loss, thanks!
Thanks! Have fun building the hangar. It's a great way to display the Falcon. Regarding the table, I've built it myself, so can't help you there, unfortunately.
OMG this is astounding!! I want this!! Don’t suppose you have plans for the MOC hangar anywhere? Edit: NVM I read your description. I was just so excited at first 😅
I'm not sure what you mean by doc. If you mean the docking bay, you'll have to purchase the parts from Bricklink (for example) and build it yourself. This is the original design: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-0631/jmfbtb/lego-docking-bay-327-for-ucs-falcon/
No, I got my lights from lightmybricks.com, although there's a bunch of (probably cheaper) options with this stuff. Also, the docking bay is not designed with lights in mind, so you'll have to account for that yourself. I actually had the whole thing built before I decided to incorporate lights, so I had to tear most of it down again. That sucked but it actually helped me to come up with room for the lights having experienced the build before. Of course, if you don't mind having the wires visible on the back of the wall, there's little to no modification necessary.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen

Thank you for the details! Just picked my falcon up, and can’t wait to make my coffee table !

Absolutely phenomenal
This is what i want to do for my UCS Millennium Falcon, this is awesome
Epic and outstanding thing to convince the misses to let me build one into a coffee table.
Holyyyy cowww...i would loveee to have that in my living room! Its basically a masterpiece!
Super creative! Nice job.
This is so well made, such a great work of art
This is amazing good job on the scene too, wish I could marvel at this in person. Also, thanks for the inspiration. I have most of the star wars [current lego catalog] "OG" vehicles and just purchased and completed the discovery space shuttle with Hubble telescope set and the shuttle would be perfect for this.
And is the Table itself self made?
How do i get such a cool table?
This is badass...kinda want to do this for mine.
Awesome job ! 👌

Ya sé lo que quiero para Reyes!
Salut
Je ne comprends pas comment faire le socle, dans le fichier que tu nous as partagé il n’y a pas l’explication ?
Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean exactly. Sorry, I don’t speak French, so I used Google Translate.
Are you asking about the rebrickable link, or the steel frame?
Could you share some details of the the complete size of the table looks big
Lol I just have micro fighter but .....I still love it
I’m building it now but wanna know where did you order the acrylic case? it’s perfect!
Awesome. Have fun with the build! Unfortunately, the only thing I can tell you about the acrylic case is to look for a company somewhat close to where you live. In my case, there just happens to be one very close to me, so I just dropped by and asked about it.

How much did the moc cost you? What is the size of your table?
Karisma Poes nice advert. All over AliExpress
that is epic! what glass thickness did you use for the sides, and how did you secure the pieces?
Thank you very much!

I would love to make that, but the moc is so damn expensive!!
How much did the whole Moc of bay 327 cost you to do? What is the size of your table?
where did u get the docking bay from ??
淘寶有得買
Awesome!
Where did you get the MOC?
I got it from rebrickable.com
Here's the link: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-0631/jmfbtb/lego-docking-bay-327-for-ucs-falcon/
Instructions are free, too.
nur geil gemacht...............top
That’s so awesome.
OMG this is astounding!!
I want this!!
Don’t suppose you have plans for the MOC hangar anywhere?
Edit: NVM I read your description. I was just so excited at first 😅
WHere did you buy the doc ?
I'm not sure what you mean by doc. If you mean the docking bay, you'll have to purchase the parts from Bricklink (for example) and build it yourself.
This is the original design:
rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-0631/jmfbtb/lego-docking-bay-327-for-ucs-falcon/
You can buy the dock on AliExpress it’s Lepin or Falcon Dock search it for 05132 but it’s like $800.00 AUD 😩
Very nice
Thank you!
you need to light up the falcon
Yeah, I thought about it but the scene I'm replicating here has the Falcon turned off. That's why I decided not to do it.
Did you get the lighting kit through Rebrickable also?
No, I got my lights from lightmybricks.com, although there's a bunch of (probably cheaper) options with this stuff. Also, the docking bay is not designed with lights in mind, so you'll have to account for that yourself. I actually had the whole thing built before I decided to incorporate lights, so I had to tear most of it down again.

Of course, if you don't mind having the wires visible on the back of the wall, there's little to no modification necessary.
WOW😍
very nice!! I'm having trouble deciding between this dock or Mos Eisley. After seeing your table though, you may have just made up my mind, lol.
Anyone can do this, as long as you don't have kids
