In this episode, we challenge ourselves like we never have before.... Can we build a Millennium Falcon-inspired bench almost completely out of EVA foam? It's as much an emotional video for me as a fun build so we hope you enjoy it!
As a Kid I loved the Kenner Millennium Falcon toy, I collected a whole bunch of ships and figures and still have them now! As an adult it was a natural step to build part of the Falcon for real so in the hope of making my Dad proud I grabbed my tools and set to.
I used EVA foam, and a resin printer and a handful of LED lights to pull this build together.
Thanks to our awesome supplier/sponsor/friends over at Tyges Supplies for providing all of the EVA Foam and those amazing glue sticks for this build! Be sure to check out their product range below!

I watch a LOT of these SW diy builds, and I have to say, this is the best video I have ever seen. Informative, and a sweet tribute to your Dad. I have but one question: Did you do a final "clear-coat" of some kind? A matte acrylic? Anything?

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Wow, thank you! It’s comments like this, make it all worthwhile, it’s very difficult to get KZbin to notice smaller channels. Thank you for watching and commenting and no I just stopped at the plastic tip layer as seen in the video ☺️

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

James this is simply wonderful my friend. The build, the story, the editing . . . Wow! Just wow!!!!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Brian mate, thank you so much for watching and supporting. Means a lot dude 🙂👊

[@OdinMakes]

Epic! I love the build, I really love the 'inspired by' aspect- but the bench is done so well that many people could think it's spot on. And the memories are the best touch. The stories with your dad, the nostalgia of the toys with adverts and catalogues- it's all perfect. Fantastic video!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Odin, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad you enjoyed it, the narrative has been received well, I think that speaks volumes about this wonderful community, thank you for the endless foam inspiration sir! 👊

[@props88]

Amazing! Your props skills are just as good as your video skills! I thought I was watching a movie!! Great job James!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Wow thanks, great comment! I really do put a lot into the edit, so it's great to see people enjoy it. Thanks for watching and commenting it really helps!

[@adamwyant6687]

I realize this was posted two years ago but just seeing this today was very inspirational and even moving for me. Your tribute to your dad here is easily the best part. I remember waiting in line to see the original film with my dad in 1977 and all the curious anticipation of something none of us knew anything about. Who would have expected a movie to be so entirely life changing, especially at just age seven? You’re a great dad, obviously, and this, too, is also obvious. The nostalgic shots of old Kenner and Hasbro advertisements and how you described your hours of fascination and childhood dreams of these toys was very relatable. Bravo on this epic masterpiece!It’s absolutely beautiful and so authentic in detail. I like your approach to realism mixed with creativity in terms of taking liberties with certain things not necessarily seen on screen (i.e. “canon”). Besides, the Millennium Falcon was always falling apart and being rebuilt, so who’s to say your version of the bench isn’t part of this evolution? Very well done.

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Wow, such an incredibly kind comment! This kind of impact is the very reason I film my builds, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video so much it means a lot and the video is pretty close to me heart. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. 👊

[@dioramaworkshop]

what a beautiful dedication to your dad. I am sure he has the biggest smile watching from above. And the new priceless memories your kids will have after you are long gone. Just amazing. Bravo !!!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@SKSProps]

Very well done! In both craftsmanship and your visual storytelling!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Thank you sir! Coming from you that means a lot!! 👊

[@sketchyguynv]

The tribute to your dad and the clips of old advertising made me all misty. Love the feel of your videos. The gentle sounds washing over the video blending the visuals to the emotion. The seamless transitions and clarity of message. As a consumer of KZbin I applaud you! As a creator…I’m…I’m gonna go cry in the corner where there is no Star Wars furniture at all and reassess my life choices. 😀

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Hahahahaha brilliant!! Thank you buddy! (Throws you a pillow)

[@quixoticjedi942]

So wonderful seeing you create a legacy for your kids like your dad did for you, connecting the generations by making memories.

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Thank you for watching - and love that you picked up on that! Star Wars has always been family for me :)

[@deannaatkinson3004]

Absolutely amazing build James! I’m gobsmacked with how cool this looks. It also looks really comfortable. Your sharing your memories with your dad and experiences with Star Wars really made this an extra special piece. I know your dad would be so proud of you. Too bad he won’t be able to sit down with and your children to watch Mando together. But, I’m sure in some ways, he’s doing just that. We never truly lose the ones we love. Seeing the Tydirium Shuttle at the end brought up some special memories of my own. I can remember building that, along with an A wing and B wing when I was young. Having this community these days really brings out so many great experiences. Thank you for all you do.

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Wow Deanna, thank you so much for taking the time to comment in such detail. I'm blown away by your words, the video was both fun and emotional but so worth it. It's pretty comfortable actually as the foam has the right amount of give 🙂. But yeah, I've been getting choked up reading such lovely comments, thank you again, I'm really glad you liked it ☺️

[@Myrmidon70]

Incredible build!!! You are a hero to your kids. I built a Death Star themed mancave a couple years back. My sons are grown. I wish I could have done that when they were smaller. Truly inspiring work sir.

Amazing that something so strong & durable can be made out of foam! Your video really stands out thanks to the great story telling and nostalgic audio/video clips. Congrats on this project.

Such an awesome video with an epic build. Talking about your childhood always takes me back to when I was a kid. The Reveal got me choked up and brought a tear to my eye. We cherish the moments with our families and that will live on forever. I’m sure your fathers hologram was watching you the whole build. Thanks!

[@theplasticundergroundprops1035]

man James i love your work, i thought this was just going to be another great build video but man this hit me right in the feels ya know, the nostalgia was great. Im a huge star wars guy but growing up my mom was a trekkie, i lost her almost a year ago, but my brother in law is a huge trekkie so we are painting and adding props to his bathroom to make a nice star trek thyme, so i have been thinking about her a lot with that project. Then when you were talking about your dad and building star wars stuff, man. Thank you for this video, and its amazing work as always!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Dude! Such a great comment! Thanks so much for watching and sharing my narrative 👊👊 love a bit of trek!! Cheers man

[@joeleustice]

I heard Odin and Felicia mention your channel a few minutes ago on their live stream. Subbed and liked right away. I was born in 1977, so I know how much Star Wars can mean to a person, even today. Great work!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Wow thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the content - more is coming!

Well thank you! Grab the free plans and go build one 😉😉

[@davestinyworkshopotherprojects]

That is awesome, and your choice of using EVA entirely is so encouraging to me. I've already started making the backrest for two Star Trek TOS bridge chairs, and I decided I would use EVA foam instead of the usual plywood or mdf construction covered in upholstery foam. I just wat to use EVA for the whole build, covered with self-adhesive black vinyl. Thank you so much for this video, it has convinced that I made the right decision. Keeping making precious memories!

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Haha awesome man and your project sounds brilliant!! Yes EVA is the way!

[@davec3275]

Awesome build. And I cannot believe it’s all out of foam! Simply amazing

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Glad you like it mate 👊

[@ekij133]

I know closed cell foam is robust stuff but I wouldn't have ever thought of using this for the _structure_ of the seat. [Here from The Smugglers room]

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Thank for for joining us! Yup crazy for sure but it's really robust and when layered is hard as nails! And light so I can take it to conventions if the chance every cropped up 🙂

[@deanearlyyearsupholstery4460]

Great build! I was really surprised by the structural integrity of the foam when building the framework, as an upholsterer I would of gone for a plywood base and built the other layers on top. Loved the style of the video and the nostalgia with your Dad Keep up the fantastic work 👏

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

Thank you!

[@mercury1076]

Incredible build. The attention to detail whilst simultaneously straying from the 'screen accuracy' is off the scale. I am confident that everyone who sees the bench will register it as 'that one from the Millennium Falcon.' The control panels really bring it to life. I have no doubt that your dad would be very proud and very pleased with your work. The Force will be with you. . . . . . . always.

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

You know, it's fantastic to read comments like this, firstly thanks so much for watching and taking the time to feedback. I spent a lot of time figuring out the design to do just as you described, capture the falcon whilst also making it mine, so it's fab you picked up on that, honestly thank for commenting 👊👊 may the force be with you too...

[@drscifi]

The way you wove your personal story into the build and the video was so touching. The best Maker videos tell that kind of story! Well done.

James that was amazing mate! You've given me a really great video idea for my channel about what I can do with all the copious amounts of EVA foam I see lying around at the dump. Thanks for putting this together, not only are you a crafty padawan but your video editing skills are brilliant also. Now I just need to find space for a bench around my house. Cheers mate 👍

[@RebelBaseBuilds]

My dad was the projectionist at our small town cinema, he came home one night and told me I have to go and see this movie Star Wars the next night, I was only 9 and had been scared by a war film before and didn't want to go, so he said I could watch it from up in the projection booth with him. After the opening shot when the Star Destroyer went over, I ran from the projection booth down to the cinema front row seats. He screened it for me and a few friends in an impromptu midday matinee for just the six of us. The movie means so much to me and is such a link to my Dad who I lost when I was 17. I'm going to attempt this build, how is it holding up 8 months later?
