Star Wars Millennium Falcon

I haven't quite finished this particular model but finding it's just as good as the others i've built. I've built 3 other of these cardstock models and have at least a half dozen+ in my stash because i like them so much. There appear to be two predominant brands, 4D Build and 4D CityScape. They're very similar in design but the 4D Build kits have the piece numbers printed on each piece whereas the one 4D CityScape I built didn't have the part number printed on each piece so once it's punched out, there's no way to tell what the piece number is. All the kits i've done are star wars themed and come out looking very very good. The kits are pretty straight forward but will likely need adult assistance for kids under 15-ish. If you can put together Ikea type furniture, these should be doable for you, but if you can't assemble ikea furniture, these may not be for you. Special tools aren't required but can help significantly with assembly and having a better finished product. Special tools range from long tweezers, fine scissors, nippers, razor knife, etc. Toothpicks come in handy if you're using the glue. I found that Elmers glue works as well. Most of them come with a small tube of glue, but I've found that none of them really needed any glue assuming it's going to be a static model that's not played with. If it's going to be played with, glueing on some pieces would be recommended. Heavy play is probably not recommended or it will eventually get beat up, crushed, torn, wrinkled, although it is a very sturdy model when finished. I've found this Tie Fighter is probably the easiest I've done so far and would be a good starter kit especially since it's one of the cheaper kits. The R2D2 model was slightly more complicated but builds into a fine looking replica about 12" high and was fairly priced at $20. I've been significantly impressed with each kit that I've built regarding how well they were designed/engineered for strength, assembly, and an impressive finished product. Very fun. Can even be therapeutic with punching out all the pieces. Highly recommended.

it looks amazing and the instructions are easy to follow, it comes with glue and a tool to take out the little pieces but i found more useful to use a clip. The engines are really tricky to assemble so be careful in that part. It was really fun and it took me around 7 hours to assemble it by myself

This is a great product for someone who is collecting Star Wars. It is detailed and functional as an addition to any collectors series. I would buy this again just because it can be a collectable. It arrived quick and timely already put together so no time consuming product.

Its a fun creative build. R2d2 was awful though, both in build and appearance. Its a really good size and looks pretty decent, problem being all the tabs stick out visibly, ruining any semblance of an accurate display piece. Speaking of the tabs, they destroy the 'durability' they advertised by the tabs themselves bending too easily, making it more difficult to put together and stay in place. Overall, I'd say it's better to build than to display. Its large and decent enough looking If you dont care about the tabs or gaps

I’m honestly blown away by this set! The level of detail is incredible, and you can really tell that every piece was designed with care. Putting it together is super satisfying, and the finished model looks amazing—so polished and realistic. If you love building things that are both fun and beautiful, this set is definitely worth it!

It was awesome to build. Great price and weld made.

It was a gift for an adult. They said it was fun to put together with just the right amount of challenge.

I'd previously purchased the 4D Build model for R2-D2 and was very impressed with the finished results, so I wanted to give this one a try too. I had a lot of fun putting this together and couldn't be happier with the finished model. This thing is BIG...over two feet long...and it has very good detail. It's light enough to easily hang it from the ceiling. I thought that the assembly process of this model was a bit easier and faster than the R2-D2 one despite the larger number of parts (fewer curves simplify assembly). There are a few things worth noting. I did come across 3 or 4 steps where it seemed like either the instructions were ambiguous or one of the pieces had incorrectly sized tabs or holes. Think carefully about the assembly process as you go to avoid problems. They provide a cardboard tool to punch out the slot holes on all the pieces...it is too flimsy and will eventually become unusable. You will want to have some other plastic or metal tool to use instead. I used a set of metal tweezers, and I've seen others mention that a paperclip works well. They provide a small tube of glue to secure pieces though I didn't find it to be strictly necessary to get a good result. The model will hold together reasonably well without it. I would not recommend gluing anything until you've finished an assembly in case you realize a piece needs to be repositioned. I actually held off on extensive gluing until the entire model was complete.
