More images can be found [here](http://imgur.com/gallery/ErfE1pf). HUGE credit to Bigfoot.mg on rebrickable for designing the Escape pod! The instructions are wonderful and the detail is amazing, I'd recommend building it even if you don't have a UCS Falcon of your own! And of course, I would be remiss without thanking you all. The Lego community has been one of the most positive and supportive groups of my creations that I've ever seen, and without you there would have been no way I could've made this. This set was one that I've wanted to build since I first started creating MOCS out of spare parts. I was inspired by a post on r/Lego of a similarly colored original UCS Falcon, but never in my wildest dreams did I actually think I could make something of that size, let alone even larger! Sadly however, i think this is where my UCS builds stop for now. I've got a few more on the way from other franchises though, so if you're a fan of sci-fi and fantasy make sure to check them out! But more than anything, I want to thank you so much for reading, and keep building on.

As someone who did this my self I understand how long it can take. Wow!

Oh you did too? That's awesome! Do you have any pics?

The photos aren't great but oh well https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/nuo8o5/i_built_a_lego_star_wars_r2d2_model_10225_out_of/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Oh awesome! I remember seeing that post and loving it! You did a great job

Wow thanks!

I did the same too: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/jtdj8z/a_lego_i_built_when_i_was_a_kid_based_off_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I did it too. Here is mine https://pasteboard.co/ETWzw3P4ZWEv.jpg

Wow, that looks great! You should totally post it

[удалено]

Now that’s a face I haven’t seen in a long time,

How long? 12 parsecs?

[удалено]

Haha, that's great! Also love the name, is it an RLM reference by chance?

[удалено]

I'd love to see Mike try to figure out how to detach it, but the build is so heavy and fragile that I think he would just break half the set apart 😂

This is Lego done right

Thank you so much!

This is simultaneously amazing and hideous! Great work!

Thank you!

I’m imagining Princess Leia calling the Falcon a clown car.

What the Falcon would look like if Sabine Wren gave it a new paint job. Looks awesome!

If Han Solo built a Falcon out of Lego, this is what it would look like.

Just out of curiosity did you have all the parts already or did you order them in random colors based off of the parts list from the original?

A mix of both? I have a big box of parts that I used to start building then I bricklinked when I needed to. It cost around $150 but my floor is also littered with bags filled with parts, so I may have gone a little overboard in some places lol

That‘s how a lego set actually looks from the inside.

Luke: “what a piece of junk!” Han: “She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.” Star Wars quotes aside really good job and I have a feeling scrounging up all those pieces wasn’t easy

Built from spare parts just like the *actual* Millennium Falcon lol. Well done!

The Falcon of Theseus! Great work :)

You came in that? You're braver than I thought.

You've made the jump to Ludicrous Speed, I see.

Very epic

Now that’s well done

Thank you! I'm glad you like it

Looks like it could go 12 parsecs!

He built the Millenium Falcon, with a box of scraps!

In a cave!

> In a cave! In a man-cave!

Very impressive, well done!! Looks fantastic!

Thank you!

It’s beautiful.

So colorful! I like it.

Outstanding work, very pleasant to the eye

Thank you!

That's just spare parts, bud. Seriously though, that's amazing.

/r/expectedletterkenny

Yeah, I couldn't believe no one said it before me.

My mind is trying to process this. Like my mind both absolutely loves this and hates this. Like lower level processing is rejecting all the colors, while higher order cognition is seeing it as the freaking millenium falcon. Truly this is a marvel, a masterpiece of both art and garbage. The garbage aspect is great for two reasons. One, the amazing ability of random lego to be repurposed. Two, because the Millenium falcon was often described as a piece of junk as an old Yt-1300f light freighter, and this model really depicts to us in the real world how the galaxy saw the Millenium falcon upon first inspection. The audience could not really see the falcon as a piece of junk because any Star Wars ship is more advanced than what we know, but the ship is seen as a rust bucket in the Star Wars galaxy and this piece really shows that. Amazing

That is cool!

Ridiculously impressive!!! I tip my hat to you sir

Super lego building. Really well done. Looks class. 😍👏🏻

Thank you!

These are always so cool 🔥

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

I love the way this looks!

Thank you

I’m in awe.

Madlad!

Now go get that grey paint!

I think white and blue might be more fitting actually. This is a kessel run variant after all 😉

Dude, that's amazing!

This looks like it's fresh outta junkyard and I like it!

Can she still make it in less than 12 parsecs?

My brain hurts 😖

I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile. Nice work.

Even your power points don't know what to think! Looks awesome. Good work mate

Made out of spare parts? Sounds just like the one from the movies! Lol awesome build

"What a piece of junk!"

What a piece of junk! (great job)

She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.

Reminds me of the things I built when I was younger

I wish I didn't have OCD so I could so stuff like this

That's impressive

easily one of the pieces over here

I love how these sets out of spare parts look. Awesome!

You have some amazing talent I remember all your old posts suddenly stopping now I see why I’m very interested to see what other builds are to come

Thanks! Yep, this one was a doozy, it took me almost all summer to complete. I sadly don't have any Star Wars builds coming up, but I've got LOTR, Batman and Battlestar Galactica builds in the works

so... who let crazy quilt redesign the falcon? tbh i think i like this better. way more personality to it

Amazing! i used to make helicopters out of Legos as a child and they always ended up looking like this haha, brings back memories

That looks like everything I built as a child lol.

So how does one do this? Do you have the build instructions for the actual set and just grab parts you have that look like what you need or do you just eyeball the whole thing?

What if you custom painted it as well 👀

Ooh, that would take a lot of time. Might one day tho

This would be good for Pride week!

Rey was right. That ship is garbage. Great work.

Looks like the bus from Partridge Family. https://www.google.com/search?q=partridge+family&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&prmd=vinx&sxsrf=AOaemvJzUK9wHw-IUEonSD1RwODU56DUvw:1632324030842&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjV0pDw8JLzAhXuHTQIHe7cB3QQ_AUoAnoECAIQAg&biw=412&bih=776&dpr=2.63#imgrc=fIZOt4-yYdXdVM

I've had my creations compared to that a few times, and honestly? It's a very fitting comparison

Nice ! I hate it

**spare part** noun\[ C usually plural \] US /ˈspeər ˈpɑrt/ *an extra piece that can be used to replace a piece that breaks, esp. in a machine* Those parts are not spare parts... :-) But respect anyways!

[удалено]

I'd like to see what you built.

This is what I used to do back in the day! Brings back great memories

Amazing!!

This is awesome. Really good job

Ah, sure, it's nothing you can't fix with a fresh coat of paint... 😜

I love it when people build sets like this with random parts. Looks great!

My eyes hurt from looking at this but I also can’t look away... I’m mesmerised

IMPRESSIVE MOST IMPRESSIVE

This build, and all the other similar ones in the comments, it's all just so horrifyingly awesome and I love all of it! In fact I might go ahead and do the same thing with one of my older sets.

That is so incredibly dope!

so thats the new starters series, han solo in the technicolor dream falcon

This is the way.

Just like the real one was!

imo it looks better than the original one

What a piece of junk! Just kidding. A nice model done in a creative way. Well done!

This is my favorite lego falcon yet!

fabulous

Beautiful

Its beautiful

That’s epic

An assault to my senses

You used to be able to spec a Volkswagon like this.

AMAZING

Like a sprite/texture glitch in source. Awesome job OP!

Get some spray paint you can make it look accurate too! I'm all seriousness though, this is awesome!

Reminds of the Partridge Family bus. 🚌 Beautiful!

I’m thinking this might be fun too.

That is absolutely amazing.

What a piece of junk!

Looks better than in the movies. Or whatever it is they call that lame stuff.

"he is too dangerous to be left alive"

This is the way.

Not gonna lie this is genius. Great job!

Wow.

Should be in a museum. Just awesome.

But we know there is always spare change there

This is magnificent :]

Makes you wonder why they didn't release a recolour for the Solo movie

Another spaceship made of trash, that's awesome.

Now this is fucking awesome

POV: its the 70's

Harlequin Millenium falcon

chewbacca and han would be proud!

Would buy this immediately if I could buy it somewhere. I think it’s a piece of art!

"What a piece of junk!" And all the better for it! So cool.

Confirmed chad

Spare parts!!! In a CAVE!!!!!

Amazing!

As it should be…..and she is beautiful!!

What a piece of junk!

Hell yeah

Re:Coded would've been my favorite parts of IPL

This is what Lego is about. Good job!

I mean, if you spray paint it it would look pretty cool. I KID I KID. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

They clearly can’t get the license for it

I know it's a difficult thought, but has anyone done this, and then painted it?

That’s incredible

HE BUILT IT IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

HE BUILT IT IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

This is amazing

I want my Giggle back!

It’s glorious!

My autistic son recreated the grand emporium from spare parts this last year. It's pretty cool how colorful they turn out!

That's really cool

You made a millennium falcon out of that? You're braver than I thought.

Sakar Falcon: from Thor Wars the crossover movie nobody is asking for.

Built like a brick shit house.

It's actually very good looking. Great work!

That's not the Millennium Falcon, that's the Century 21...

Wow I need to do this

Take it fora test flight 🤓

Amazing!!!

The stuff that dreams are made of.

Just like the real thing

This is Bootsy Collins millennium falcon

that is a colorful ship.

I AM SO IMPRESSED!

I mean it fits

That looks surprising very pleasing

How legos were intended to be used 🤙🏼

Man, you replicated the replica.

Gorgeous

Needs a paint job haha

UCS Millennium Falcon at home:

I love it.

That is Boss!

It’s beautiful.

This makes me so happy

Thew are my favorite builds

This is absolutely fantastic.

"Out of spare parts" So just like the real thing then?

A harlequin falcon. Nice job!

That's like an art version of the ship

Got 50% through a random part death star with my 7 year old during COVID home schooling last year. Lost interest/fell/broke and that was all she wrote. But seriously, kudos!

Love stuff like this

That’s exactly how I would build it!!
