  • Today I'll be showing you guys a project I've been working on for a few weeks! I've always wanted a highly-detailed and accurate-looking system-scale Millennium Falcon, so I went ahead and bought the 2019 one on discount, took apart my 2011 Falcon, and got to work making this Falcon look as good as possible!
    This was a really fun project, and I hope you guys enjoy seeing everything I've done to make this Falcon look as good as I could make it. I'm super happy with how it came out! :)

    Peace out guys,

    Recently just bought the 2019 falcon I think Ill plan on modding it as soon as I build it. I have the 2011 one also but its been broken for many years so Ill probably use parts from that as well. Great mod!

    Great mods. The thin mandibles have really been bugging me even while assembling it this weekend, this is excellent. Getting rid of that whimpy hinge in the process is a big bonus. I love how this looks, all of it.
    There's a channel called "the big white bricks" where they dis some cool mods too, one of which was to alter the cockpit so it could fit three, without changing the appearance on the outside. I agree with you that the hinged solution that fits 4 is a sacrifice to the look that's not worth it.
    The interior as is out of the box I don't really like, but there's so much space I don't mind at all. It's an invitation to start doing some lego 😊

    I used some of your modifications for my own falcon, I improvised in a lot of things cause I lacked the required pieces (and I couldn't afford them). Now, my falcon looks a lot better, it still has that original look for the most part, but it feels complete now. My mods consist of the following:
    I replaced the trans red studs on the front of the mandibles with clear studs, because it felt more accurate.
    Mandibles are a plate thicker (Could've made it a bit more thicker but I liked the thinner aesthetic of the falcon).
    Removed the annoying swivel 2x2 plate that made the quad turret on the middle of the ship spin like crazy.
    Patched up the weird opening near the cockpit area (That annoyed me a lot whenever I looked at the set from above).
    Added the landing gear near the front of the ship for accuracy (also to prevent the set from sinking from the front whenever you put a bit of weight on it), I also made it so that I could manually retract it when I want the ship in flight mode, although that retracting mod was only done for the front landing gear because I didn't have the technic parts to modify the rest of them.
    Gave the back details a small upgrade, those 4 sloped pieces to be specific, I replaced the 2 middle dark gray sloped parts with their light bluish gray counterpart to give the back a little bit of a pattern).
    The bottom of the ship looked too plain so I added sloped bricks to give it a bit of a more rounded shape (I used a technique where I would put technic pins with studs under the bricks so that it would stick to the anti-studs the way I want them to, probably an illegal technique but it works. This specific upgrade/mod is my favorite one because it made the ship look more rounded instead of sharp, especially when you look at it from the back).
    The interior is where I made the most changes but It's too complicated to explain, for me at least.
    So yeah! Those are the modifications that I added to my falcon. Thanks for giving me good ideas! 🌟

    Great job mate! One suggestion: the tan padding that you added around the back circumference may be a bit more effective if you add it vertically and only to delimit different compartments. Like for example a vertical padded pillar between the crew space and the escape pod area. I will try that if i can find the tan bricks.

    • @WatermelonStudios

      Thanks man! And I understand what you mean! I tried soooooo many things with those tan panels, and none of them worked well for me. This was the best compromise to give it the indication of more paneling, despite not looking totally accurate

    Hi. Beautiful! Well done!
    Did you use only parts of the 2011 falcon or also other parts?
    Where can I find the parts list?
    Do you have detailed instructions on the modifications?
    Thanks

    Thinking about getting this set while I still can, and will definitely try to mod it. Yours looks very nice compared to the original, which was already pretty good!
