Redesigning my "Ultimate" Lego Millennium Falcon - Part 1

[@daanvanderleest7171]

Can't wait to see the progress, always love your creativity!

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much!!

[@jsiena7665]

It’s really exciting to see you develop a falcon that is between system scale and the UCS set. I was hoping to see this someday since the UCS is too big and the system scale has that canopy that is out of scale. The details look amazing so far. Look forward to seeing more updates in the future.

[@2bricks]

Thanks so much!

[@carsonphillips8008]

Your first Ultimate Millennium Falcon was a fun Summer 2020 project for me to build. Maybe this will be a good project for Summer 2022

[@2bricks]

Awesommmme!! I love it

[@carsonphillips8008]

@@2bricks Obviously no pressure to try to rush to complete and release any instructions. It will be a great project regardless of if/when it comes out!

[@2bricks]

Appreciate that!!!

[@willspratt9044]

wow loved watching this and seeing the creative process

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!! That’s awesome to hear!

[@joelee_opium]

I’m really excited to see this build come along. It’s gonna look awesome!!!

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!!

[@skidwarpturbine]

This is awesome, can't wait for the final build!

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!! I’m very excited too

[@thomasjeppesen3055]

This is such a cool concept for a MOC project. What you’ve created so far looks amazing and I’m eager to follow your progress with great interest. I can’t wait to see the finished falcon.

[@2bricks]

Thanks so much! I love the support for this particular model!

[@echo.kelaidis887]

I cannot wait to see more progress!!!

[@2bricks]

Yay!!

[@terratoilet5290]

I think its so satisfying to see when one of your builds comes together perfectly!

[@2bricks]

Yeah!! Can’t wait to make it all come Together!

[@fotbollen2001]

So cool! I'm so excited for the final product!

[@2bricks]

Thanks!! Me too!!

[@rosenminchev5135]

For the cockpit: you could use for the handle the one in the cockpit in the guardians ship. It's just a good piece

[@2bricks]

I’ve not seen that I’ll have to check it out!! Thanks 😊

[@corvetteguy2223]

Wow, this revamp is more thorough than I was expecting. Can't wait to see the rest of it.

[@2bricks]

Thanks!! I’m excited to finish it!

[@valensdsilva]

@2bricks Bring back the Century Hawk!!! :P Great series. I'm looking forward to hearing your thought process on design

[@2bricks]

Haha thanks!!

[@masterskywalker7141]

Awsome build man cant wait for what the future holds on your channel

[@2bricks]

Thanks for all the support Master Skywalker!!

[@plasticupkake]

i love watching all of your videos no matter if its something i'd be interested in or not because you're always just so ecstatic about the tiniest things and the different part usage and its really admirable and inspiring

[@plasticupkake]

(plus all your models are just insanely good and creative)

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!!

[@billstubbles2398]

Very nice work - your videos are inspirational!

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much!

[@themanwhowouldbebrick]

I think this is gonna be a good size and what you’ve done so far looks great!

[@2bricks]

Thanks very much Liam!!

[@brettlambert703]

Wow!! I bought your original plans for this set and can't wait to see what you've done with the updated version!

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!

[@Micha-sj2uj]

I ❤️ the 1st one, have build it with your instructions and some moc‘s - maybe take also some ideas from this one - Top Job mate👊🏻

[@2bricks]

Thanks so much!!!

[@The3gg]

Can't wait. I'd love if at the end you'd consider making a white solo version with the added escape pod

[@2bricks]

I’m gonna!!!

[@timewarpdrive77]

What UCS sets should be

[@2bricks]

I really appreciate it, thank you!!

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

I dropped off the idea of getting the cockpit the correct size compared to the falcon a long time ago when I tried to do a custom model of roughly thez same size as the playset. If I wanted to get the cockpit of the correct size, I would have to considerably reduce its size, and it would be able to fit only one minifig, and maybe not even sitting properly, with a lot of custom techniques to build the cockpit itself (like the UCS 2007 model) I had the 7965 model, and had it considerable modified, I decided to scrap it, buy the 75257 model and go from there as the shape was way more acurate and trying to re_invent the wheel is not my favourite hobby. I have a decently detailed model now that satisfies me even though the cockpit is too big, but that's a compromise I'm willing to make. Since I got through that, I can appreciate the amount of work you're putting for your own model, I was already very impressed by your first model and I can't wait to see where this one is going !

[@2bricks]

Nice! Thanks a lot, I’m excited to show you guys the progress!

[@minhkhanginh9089]

awesome

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!

[@berwynboy4294]

I’m impressed….did you say you sold instructions? Where please!

[@2bricks]

When it’s done I’ll be making them!!

[@CoreFlux]

Amazing, you keep making MOC's I want to build! Keen to see what inside designs you come up with, still disappointed the UCS had so little on the inside, I felt your Mantis already delivered better in that department. So sizewise, this will be between the UCS and playscale then, or will this be as large as the official UCS model?

[@2bricks]

Thanks! Yeah it’s definitely an in-between size! The cockpit here is an 8x8 circle, as is the rectenna dish, and the UCS one is 10X10 - that may not sound like a huge difference but it’s quite a bit when you extrapolate to the whole model

[@Hellstorm1190]

Are you going to sell the instructions once it's finished? Looks amazing so far 👍 I've done my own mod on the 75105 version of the falcon, but I feel like it's never finished and I just want to keep tinkering on it until I deem it perfect 😅 My biggest problem is the cockpit, I cant figure out how to better attach it to the rest of the ship and really how to build the insides so that it looks even a little bit like it should and the figures actually would fit In, I'm not really good at figuring out different techniques and all that, I just build what I can from the pieces that I have..

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!! I definitely making instructions 100%!!!

[@carbob9964]

Nice dude!

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!

[@tokla853]

Hey why don't you work at LEGO? ;-) It would bei great, if you could tell something or mention that in the description, how many and which parts you use for the "main construktion" and how many parts are for detailing. Also for your first falcon. Great work at all. Thx for that.

[@2bricks]

Hehe sadly I don’t work at Lego - maybe one day! All the details for my first Falcon are here; rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-33689/2bricksofficial/ultimate-playset-scale-ship-century-hawk/#details

[@Robot_Eva]

Remember, its ok to take your time

[@2bricks]

Thanks! I will :D

[@mat4679]

I built your Century Hawk this summer, it was so much fun putting it together! Can't wait to see how this one comes out. Always love your builds! Will you be adding new instructions at some point for this one well?

[@2bricks]

Thank you! And yes I will! I’m also intending on doing the Lando conversion this time

[@GeFuryy]

This is amazing and I can't believe I'm just seeing this. How did you scale those blueprints to match the right size?

[@2bricks]

Thank you!! I used photoshop to match the cockpit size to the real dimensions of the Lego cockpit piece - there’s a really handy tool if you google “Lego unit converter” that lets you put in any measurement and convert it between stud length, inches, mm or whatever and that helped me know the right size to put in!

[@JJ_Binks]

urm this looks nuthing like the meleniem faulcon were the mandebuls?

[@2bricks]

😵😵‍💫 Oh noooo! I dun fergot em!

[@the23rdradiotower41]

Do you think you could make a microscale or even figure scale Mocs from the new movie dune, I’d love to see you try it out

[@2bricks]

Yes!! I plan on doing a minifigure compatible Ornithopter whenever I get the time!! I absolutely loved Dune

[@the23rdradiotower41]

I cant wait dude, if you do this I’m almost certain the lego dune community will explode

[@darthlumpy0911]

Ayy update on this? Ive got your original design and I'd like to upgrade mine

[@2bricks]

Yeah so sorry for all the delays - I handed it off to the folks at the Brick Collective and there have been some delays there due to personal issues. I’m hoping by the summer it’ll be done

[@jacor653]

How are you doing with your Arquitens?

[@2bricks]

Really good! Really close to being done but finding time to set up to shoot, then build has been really difficult- I know it’s long over due but I’m going to get to it eventually I promise! Same goes for Serenity and Hogwarts - they’re just on hold for now

[@Nasuto1702]

I would love to see you do something with the Lego Titanic

[@2bricks]

Oh man I wish - but that price tag would…..sink me! 😅

[@Nasuto1702]

@@2bricks yeah itvwas expensive. But even i was able to affort it being a 20 year old student, without work. I jist sold some stuff i didnt use anymore and got the money very quickly

[@2bricks]

It’s not so much that I couldn’t buy it if I wanted to, I just have other ways I would like to spend that sort of dough- like there’s tons of play sets and even UCS sets I’d love to get for that kind of price

[@Nasuto1702]

@@2bricks I totally underdstand and youre ofcourse totally right. In my case, ive had a facination with 20th century ocean liners since i was a kid, so when lego came out with this set, i just had to get it as soon as possible.

[@2bricks]

Awesome! I really hope lego continues to cater to more and more different interests people may have! It’s great the current range of things you can get Leto sets for: from flowers to football stadiums. Love it!

[@jacor653]

What will be the dimensions of this new model? How will it compare to the UCS version in terms of size and accuracy?

[@2bricks]

It will be almost exactly half way between the lego play sets and the UCS model - I don’t know the dimensions off-hand though. In terms of accuracy, it will be more accurate and detailed than the ucs one, and way more sturdy!

[@jacor653]

@@2bricks I think the reason why the UCS version isn't as sturdy as it could be is just because it is so big. I have that set, and when I go to move it or pick it up (which isn't often), I can feel it flexing a bit. Yours might be more sturdy because of the simple fact that it is smaller.

[@2bricks]

Exactly! Plus I’m going to be using as many parts as is necessary regardless of cost whereas lego has a very tight parts budget.

[@mandalortemaan7510]

So, you're goal is to put the gigantic UCS to shame by how amazing a smaller one is?

[@2bricks]

Accurate. Hahaha. Really my goal is to have a Millennium Falcon that I enjoy displaying and also playing with, and that won’t cost me another $800 lol
