I'm half way into my model and I love love love it!! I remember the first time seeing this video and remembering how excited I was and couldn't believe what I was seeing!! Thanks for creating this model for us!
I pick up issue one today and can not wait to start putting this together
Love the details... keep it up.
EXCELLENT WORK
That was really cool
i absolutely love these tips ect whilst building my son this very ship 👍
So cool, deep respect👏👏👏
The Empire model definitely looks better than A New Hope's. That girl's been through alot and she's STILL beautiful!
awesome !
Would love to to have that 3D printed to that scale.
I don't know what Falcon he is referring to because there were 2 major ILM models
--The 32" which "Master Replica's did a great job on as a 1:1 replica. Then there is the
big cahoona--my favorite which is that big 6 foot one which has twice the detail of the
32" and based on the photographs I have seen you can forget any attempt to make a replica of that one. That is one-of-a-kind!
when will this be available in Sweden? Im really looking forward to this!!
Flipping sweet...
When will I be able to order this from germany?
Rock with it!-Stephen..
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I wish they could tell us how big a real Millenium Falcon would be, according to their scans of the model. Length, height and width.
Im an Official Disney / Lucasfilm Fine Artist and this video inspired me greatly! You are amazing! Thank you for all you’ve done!
Nice especially being able to add the little details that would be impossible to add to a mass produced model as Steve says here @ 6:26 by giving info in the mags to add your own personal touch on the final end results, as I know 0 about modelling/ painting this sounds good for me.
Sounds expensive but it should be a good project and alot cheaper then the other thousands of £ for other film replica versions out there of the famous falcon. ;]
The Han figure being painted to become Lando doesn't definitively mean it was used for Return of the Jedi. Lando also flies the Falcon at the end of Empire. If Chewbacca had been replaced by a tiny Nien Nunb, then THAT would mean it was changed for Jedi.
The Han figure inside the Falcon was painted into Lando in Empire not Jedi. He is wrong wrong about that. You can see the Lando figure at the end of Empire under the Medical Frigate.
The most interesting docu I've ever seen on the Falcon.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Stuuti Rai I don't need too, I've got the Blu-Ray.
already subbed :D cant wait
Please please release it in Japan!
Cool!
I just saw this model at Star Wars Celebration and I'm really excited about it. It was fantastic!
Hey any chance of a time frame for Australia as I don't want to subscribe to a different partwork just to find out this 1 is on its way??
Correction: The Han Solo figure was painted brown, not black (2:03).
Fans picked up on the missing pieces over the staff!! 😳
Nice, I can't wait to show this off to all my friends after I build one...oh wait...never mind.
Me encantaria saber si despues de haber pagado una fortuna por el Halcon en Argentina serian tan amables de decirme como conseguir la plaqueta identificatoria !! desde ya muchas gracias!!
How and where can I get this in Australia?????
Where is the original source this was published? It's only 360p, and I want to know where I can stay tuned to future episodes! :)
This is the original film - it was created by us at DeAgostini. Any future episodes will be featured on this UA-cam channel so be sure to subscribe :)
On the 16/09/2015, only available in the USA, UK and ...France
Talk about cool-!!!!
"...made by skilled artisans at our factory in China."
Geez, even the Millenium Falcon is made in China. :(
Yeah, I was about to mention that. His company is cheap not to build it in the U.S just to avoid paying American wages. What a pitty
Well... Hot Toys is made in... uh... you know..
Fagdalf The Gay hottoys is a company owned by Chinese and located in HONGKONG, China.
Pho Chigga Ummm... so?
The millennium falcon is made in china... Hot toys products are made in chine...
Top notch quality made in chine...
Now befoe you say some random shit like, Hong Kong isn't part of China, would be stupid. they got independance just to do the eaxt same shit as China. So I would refer to them as such.
Me, as an asian, and like many other asians, like what China produces, but hates their guys for not giving a shit about the planet, and starving their people because they're sex craving cunts that never heard of condoms.
Pho Chigga And the pollution/
Hurry up issues 4&5!

What scale is this Millennium Falcon model? How wide is it from port to starboard? And fore to aft?
price is nothing if ur a star wars fan and u like building models like this, I hope they bring out more star wars kits
Liam Burke they just released a build your own R2-D2 and a build your own X-Wing
Nice.
hi i live in sweden and I can not be allowed to buy it why?
any chance of this being brought to the US? nothing would make me happier than to be able to build this beautiful piece of art and finally have that perfect replica I have always wanted
It will be available in the US in a few months!
De Agostini UK really?? that's amazing, thank you so much for replying and giving me the good news!
Kramer1701 Just to let you know the product is now available! www.model-space.com/us/build-millennium-falcon.html
De Agostini UK good lord, it is! thank you so much for letting me know, I appreciate it very much so
Issue 41 isn't being sent to my usual retailer as aparently the parts are not sufficient, my local retailer still has not received issue 41 and it has been 11 weeks, any help?
I take it your not a subscriber? You may have to find a different retailer?
How about instructions on using the binder for those who subscribed as it's difficult putting the magazines in and keeping them in when you stand the binder up 😣
Hi Shelly, Here's a post about how to use our binders, shop.deagostini.co.uk/general-questions-faq#locate
Thanks!
This is so cool, I would love to see a long documentary on the actual falcon made for episode 7. Day-to-day progress, hopefully someone bothered to film that much, I can't imagine that footage isn't out there somewhere.
That's 7 minutes of my life I'll never get back
Dá muito trabalho montar isso!
Is this what deagostini used?
The original LucasFilm production was made in the U.S.A. The Disney version is made in China. That explains a lot.
+divisioneight Actually, almost all of the first 'Tron' was ink-and-painted in Red China. I built a special lightweight magnesium & aluminum 35mm B&H 2709 camera to bolt onto the hotel wall in Hong Kong. Mules carried the work into the PRC and back, my friend filmed the cells (and came back with the roll in his pocket, i suppose. Richard Taylor still won't talk).
And so sad, when Walt died, the John Birch Society ran out of money.
So pissed it's not available in Australia either
+banthapoodo It will be next year. They said so on the forum.
+banthapoodo It's available right now yay!
made by skilled artisans at our factory in China." even the Millenium Falcon is made and copied several times in China.
Yeah... That "resolution" picking up the dust is BS. It's about 1mm res.
What about german customers? I want one too! :-)
$1500.....not a fucking chance in hell.
I just want the finished thing. I do not want to buy all the issues. Nevermind.
the kit costs $1500, ya?
guys make the rear end better the cheap Hasbro toy has a better light up rear
HOLE EEEE CRAP! PLEASE Bring this to the USA NOW!
Aawww lol
Good news! It's now available in the USA www.model-space.com/us/build-millennium-falcon.html
Just Y?
ill buy it for $100
You should buy the new Lego ucs millennium falcon
Yeah but it still looks like...LEGO.
Let me educate some of you people here. If this model kit were to be made in US or UK. Most of you probably can't afford it. In addition, the PC or Mac you are using now is mostly likely to be made in "The country shall not be named". (Fyi, I'm born outside that country.) I shall see how such bigotry will last into the next century. He's running a business. If you bitch abt his stuff, go build your own. Plain & simple.
+Alex Typical Libertarian "me generation" point of view. Using your standard, since workers in China and India and the Philippines have a lower cost of living and will always work for less than an American (or a Brit), all industry is completely morally justified in moving their factories overseas because the only thing that matters is profit. That's called amorality. Your flippant snark betrays a lack of worldly experience and an abundance adolescent selfishness.
+InformantNet Do you have any clue at all how many people in China (and other places) have been lifted out of abject poverty because there is a demand here in the US (and elsewhere) for a $1500 plastic model of the MF? The people working in factories in China making things like this might previously have died from dysentery, or continued to live in squalor with no running water or flushing toilets.
InformantNet
There is no moral in business. Business is Business.
Tron So you're saying American industry (or British) has a moral obligation to take work from Americans (or Brits) in order to move Chinese out of poverty? I did not realize that. So, in other words, any work that can be moved from America SHOULD be moved from America until all peoples of the world are living in abject poverty. Great idea. I imagine, if you're an American, when you go shopping for goods, you avoid anything "Made in U.S.A" and opt for the item made in the poorest country available. That's interesting. Hell, even Mr. Dymszo sounds a bit uncomfortable when he says that his models are made by artisans at "our factory in China," but you're not.
Like Chris Tucker said to Jackie Chan in Rush Hour "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"
i'd 3d print mine, it'll be cheaper
The MR Falcon ended up only being 80% accurate, which was discovered later by model making veterans who know just about every kind of model kit piece for detailing usable off by hart, in almost all types of kits. To many parts on the MR were scratch built, and quite badly. The Reason Why. time stamp 00.30, They only spent a 7 days recording what parts were used on it, and as stated, "what could be found". To correctly record every part and its kit history, takes months and months. The DeAgostini is only 30% accurate, and only in its proportions. As all the detail is separate and moulded into the large pieces which are not accurate at all, because its all injection moulded. So the whole thing looks like a giant toy when its finished. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
"What a piece of junk!" ..........NOT!
Cgi :/
360p and you're talking about models? seriously?!
You lost me at "made in China".
Why such a Lo-Rez vid?
The waggish airplane postoperatively scream because invoice postsurgically screw as a gifted storm. organic, short morning
Not 1:1 scale. Check math.
The Falcon is a crap piece of tech. All these unarmored machinery pieces on the outer hull make it incredibly vulnerable. Also, it's meant to be a freighter, but it doesn't have a real cargo storage area. Most of its interior are doorways.
dear god this is soooooo boring!
The problem here is... even with 1440$ paid for a piece of PLASTIC, its still going to look like a piece of plastic unless you are a proffesional painter.
Paying 1440 $ for some plastic is a joke.
The finished kit isn't just a piece of plastic. It has a full metal frame, working electronics such as lighting and an automatic bay door, ridiculous detail inside and out, and the main pieces are actually cast in high quality resin. It's also in scale to the actual filming miniature used on set. Basically what you're getting with this kit is closest thing you can get to the actual screen used kit. Plus no one is forcing you to buy it anyway. This is really only for diehard Star Wars fans, and lovers of model making.
Says the guy who almost assuredly can't afford to buy this anyway.
+Solarstar10 SPOILER The larger original Falcon cockpit was moved over from the Rebel Blockade Runner and had a one inch playboy foldout on the bulkhead behind the Wookie.
+douglas barnett Uh, cool i guess. I don't see what that has to do with anything being discussed here. But a cool tidbit nonetheless.
sorry, but asking 60$ per month for 2 years is ridiculous.
Paul Nobody stops you from scratch building the falcon for less than that.
I'm quite sure all the research and building the molds, all the work that has to be done first without earning a dime took quite a big amount of money (china or not) which all has to be earned back in order to just get to 0. The lego falcon is smaller and costs twice the amount of money.
Ok, one issue costs 15$. Now subtract what the store gets from that and the production cost and the shipping to the stores and maybe licensing fees for Disney and other stuff I forget to mention.
So, if you can't afford it, change that.
I said it once, i'll say it again. If you can't put aside a bare minimal $20 per week, get a better job. Also, it's $80 p/w if you buy it separately from the stores.
+Fagdalf The Gay Jobs are one way, selling videotutorials or other
knowledge or skills is another. In other words: starting to be self
employed. Adding value to the market place. Of course that means to follow goals, set targets, think strategically and get knowledge in psychology, and marketing philosophy (Jay Abraham is good).
Still, making the falcon from scratch has an incredible appeal. Not sure whether that's actually much cheaper though.
Bottom line, if you can't !!comfortably!! set aside 20$ per week, your life needs improvement and you're not the target audience, yet...
HauntHouse Making strong durable props cost $1000+ to make. And considering that this is studio-durable is good, since it has to be able to stand up to abuse.
+Fagdalf The Gay I don't need a 1000 bucks for that. Plywood, easily cut and glued, goes a long way if you include mostly triangles. You could even recycle wood and glue it together. Just don't ask how much money one could make in the time one needs to research all the greebly details...if you don't just photograph all the model parts at the local store ( :
Just checked: 1mm steel sheet metal 1000x2000mm costs 33 euros. 3 sheets should be plenty to sturdy everything out, probably 2. It becomes amazingly stiff once you bend it. add a few square pipes to the mix if you want to. Problem would more be the needed machinery. Cutting, bending and welding metal takes some investment. Riveting might be cheaper. But again, if you can't comfortably buy a few machines, get a better job, right?
Nerd.
Built in China.. by skilled artists... well.. I'm not getting this..
mackjsm
LOL!!
As said below. A shame it was made in China. I know perhaps 100 or more builders of skill [including myself] who would have killed to work on this project. STOP SHIPPING AMERICAN WORK TO CHINA! Great looking nonetheless.
IT'S JUST A GD MOVIE!
“Made In China”. No thanks. I prefer my Falcons come from Japan.
