Metal Earth Millennium Falcon Model Kit

Looks weird but I will see it when he builds it 😂

Scanned through he reviews on this and was not sure whether to gamble with the purchase ... but threw caution to the wind and got one.Upon arrival the packaging was tiny , two small sheets of steel in a cardboard envelope , the pieces looked minuscule and I thought there was no way I was going to get that done .... now this is not for a young child (after all it does not plug in or require battery's), neither is it a large model that will look stunning as the centre piece in a display cabinet.Dived in and thought bugger it , the instructions are on one easy and simple to follow sheet, no real written instructions just pictures and numbers , but its simplicity itself and you'd be hard pushed to go wrong.Now I am a big bloke with fingers thicker than really thick finger type objects, and I don't have a great deal of patience , but this was a joy to do , sure its fiddly, yes with some of the pieces you really need to be able to shrink down the the size of the guys from "Innerspace" (Antman size , for the Marvel generation comparison ) , a group of Dwarf Bonzii Miniature Lepricorns would struggle with some ... but it's not impossible. Sure you will curse the name of George Lucas for passing this design for the Millennium Falcon, you'll question the need for some of add-ons that this ship has, and you'll wonder why some of the tech guys didn't mention to Lucas that, not only is that silly looking, but not scientifically possible.But no matter how much swearing and gnashing of teeth is involved, no matter how times tiny metal parts dig into your fingers , or you drop unseamingly small parts into an infeasibly long shag pile carpet ... nothing , but nothing , beats that feeling of pride as you click those final parts into place , stand back ( not too far ) and think "I did that !"To help make this I used a screwdriver (the shaft helped with shaping the curves) , small tweezers (helps with the bending) , and a pair of needle nosed pliers ( helps when twisting the tabs) .... of and it helps me having fingernails. All in all I guess it took me in total about 2 to 2.5 hours , but seemed a lot less.Would I do another ? Hell yes , Star Trek USS Enterprise sitting next to me

I always used to build models as a child - I'm in my fifties now and I still love making things and building things.This tiny, intricate, and incredibly detailed model of the iconic Millennium Falcon has to be one of the most enjoyable models I have ever made.With some parts being only a few millimetres long and all parts having tabs that are only about 1.5mm long, you really do need a steady hand, lots of patience, and good lighting! Lots of bending, curling, and folding over of tiny tabs was required. I used a pair of long nosed pliers, a pair of mini snips, a good pair of tweezers and a jewellers loupe to build the kit. The jewellers loupe definitely helped.I didnt have any real problems assembling the kit - it took me about three - three and a half hours and it all fitted together with a high degree of precision.It really was a nice relaxing way to pass a Sunday afternoon :-)I think I am going to be buying more of these!

WOW! What a great product! Saw a metal earth video on YouTube by Daniel 'Nerdcubed', and thought 'that looks like fun...' so I bought one and got it the very same day, then spent the next four hours into the early hours of the next day building it!It's such a fun build, and for anyone that is a fan of such things like: Meccano, Lego, Kinnex or Airfix, it's great fun!Be warned though, it is highly addictive and I guarrenty that you will go out and buy four more after finishing your first (just like I have done) and you need steady hands and big patience. It's not an easy thing to do, you will go wrong and there will be times when you think "How the frig am I supposed to do that?!"However, once you finish it you will be delighted and super proud.If you have any hesitations about buying it, do it! They are extremely cheap in comparison to other building projects and have loads of licensed project that appeal to everyone!Thanks for reading!

Arrived before I was expecting it too, this model is very small, you will need a lot of patience to assemble and some very precise tools, the instructions are clear and easy to follow, but because of the size the whole assemble difficult.

Bought one for my dad for Father’s Day and another one for myself so we could make them together! Was quite fiddly but not too hard and was much easier with a pair of tweezers. Took us about 3-4 hours to put them together and they look great. They’re about 4.5cm tall and about 8.5cm wide at the widest part. Would definitely recommend for any big Star Wars fans!

I was very impressed with the quality of this product. This was my first metal earth build and I found it easy to follow and well designed.Yes this is fiddly and has very small parts. Yes you will need tools like tweezers and small cutters to get the prices out of the sheets clean. You’ll need steady hands and good eyesight.I had no lost pieces and no bits broken whatsoever. The model looks great when finished.It took me 4 hours with a few rest breaks for my eyes. I took it very slow and read the instructions twice before attempting each stage.I will definitely be buying more metal earth models!

Great way to pass the time. Had bought it as a present for my partner. They do recommend you buy wire cutters to make this but that was easy to find. Final product looks great.
