I’ve been here since the last 8 videos of your millennium falcon build jeez that’s a few years ago lol but happy days to you Wayne

[@viswanathanpather6849]

For painting this you should consider the Archive X paints set for the ESB falcon. They are excellent. Made from the original Floquil paint used on the studio models.

[@garyhorsburgh1924]

Please keep the Falcon videos coming. This video was a huge help to me. Cheers

[@jonathancliffe8411]

So happy you are doing this. I put together my 1st package just the other day

[@ThisOldGrouse]

Good to see you and your channel still going

[@jounishemeikka9256]

Wayne, Wayne , Wayne... I remember the last episode when nr.1 was finished. You were so sad. But hey. Now you have room to store those parts... Lets see what you come up to this time. Thumbs up.

[@guinnessman1965]

Brings back memories. I did the same build from DeAgostini. I modified the turrets like you did and I also did the Main Hold area floor, walls and maintenance wells with parts from Shapeways and added the chair Obi Wan sat in, added the tools for Han. I figured if it was going to be seen with the panels off, I might as well make it look like Han was fixing things. I would love to get that table stand tho. Right now mine is sitting on a 38" diameter round table. It runs on the batteries as I could never get the wall plug to work and DeAgostini was good on replacing parts when bad or missing, but they went out of business when I needed to have those parts replaced. I got all my kit and by the time I needed to fix that portion, they were gone. So it sits with batteries when I want to show it off. Remote never worked either.

[@GOLF4METOO]

Great video since you convince me to side up for this build. I was wondering what type of oil you use to dip the screws in? Thanks again

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I just use a regular 3 in1 oil

[@GOLF4METOO]

Great....thank you....I can't wait to get started with this Millennium Falcon build. And it goes without saying thank you for your videos on these builds.

[@gregcarter9680]

TF = Top Frame. I went back and rewatched your original build on this when I signed up for mine last month. Glad to see you re-doing this...will be interesting to see what the community does with mods on this one. I already have 1,000 ideas, and have already been 3D printing up some additional details for the interior.

[@davidwestbury2328]

I remember watching you for the first time. You have come along way

[@peterrush6459]

Just received my first package today. Looking forward to building along with you Wayne.

[@lakrfan4980]

I really enjoyed the original build of this Millennium Falcon from DeAgostini. It was a 2 year build and proved to be quite an adventure. On my model I did all the exterior painting modifications as recommended by some experts who studied it in detail. I also followed along with all your build videos that you provided also. This proved to be the heaviest and most detailed model I have ever done. I'm quite tempted to build this one again.

[@jimboisgr8]

Wayne you have made my day. All I have at the moment is the revell option. I’m gonna get the fan home and start building. Looking forward to following you on the build.

[@brianmcdonald3831]

You’re building the millennium falcon again with all the sprue wow

[@stephenshyckworost4619]

I am going to enjoy watching you build the Millennium Falcon, I hope I get to build it too some day.

[@philipparmley7288]

Thank you Wayne I will be building along with you as my pack arrived yesterday. And also thank you for revisiting this build.

[@stevenjones2371]

wayne i did r2 it came out awesome thinking about this build just checking it out and ty you totally helped me with the R2 build

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

The hull part is missing plating detail on the falling edges. Odd as this was missing on the original UK release but corrected for the later French and Japanese issues.

[@mikeking2539]

OMG!!! That is much bigger than I thought it would be! I would have to rent another flat just to have room for it... lol

[@TAP1NYA]

I’m starting my build and just received my first package a couple weeks will be following this build

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

I just can't believe someone went to the trouble of producing such an intricate kit. All the in-depth research and manufacturing involved. Are there any videos that look inside the company and factory that produce these? OTT.

[@Thalon77]

A nice trick to align pieces with matching holes on the surface (like the main console panel and its sticker) is to use toothpicks as guides.

[@dfoosdc]

Thank you so much for doing this. just got my first pack last week, you were so instrumental in helping me with my R2.

[@rflester53]

I'll be watching these videos since I did not see the original build from the start, but I won't be building this one. I simply do not have the room for a model this size! Looks like fun tho.

[@sliuman]

Great to see you taking a trip back in time. I think I was there at the beginning of your original videos. Looking forward to the upgraded videos!

[@TheMugwump1]

Oh man I just pulled the trigger. I can't wait to start.

[@americo01able]

The game is afoot!! I am finishing the ecto and my wife is starting the Millenium

[@ValosiTiamata]

Anyone who has the time and skill can take this kit and modify it to reflect different points in either ESB or RotJ (She only had three landing gear in the original Star Wars - or ANH for you young'uns). This includes battle damage, laser scoring, and various armour plating being replaced (usually reflected by being different colours from the rest of the hull). I did notice that the magazines have been Disneyfied, so many details from the original build's magazines may have been altered or even removed to match Disney's version of the canon. However, the build itself should be pretty much unaltered, so this model is a great choice for fans of the Lucas Canon. Fun Fact: Every single model of the Falcon was different, especially when it came to greeblies. There's actually an entire online community devoted to trying to reconstruct the lost five-foot ESB model. They collect every photo they can find of the original model and painstakingly locate and catalogue every single model kit and part that was used on the ship - most of which are now extremely rare.It's even worse because there are angles of the work bays that were never photographed and bits were known to break off and either get gued back on or be left laying in the bays. Some of the people involved are going so far as to 3D print the parts in an attempt to build an exact replica of the five-foot model as personal projects. On a more personal note, I'm so glad to see you revisiting this build! The original videos weren't bad, but you've become so polished over the years that even a couple years back they felt positively antiquated. Here's to hoping you'll be able to redo the Thunderbirds build as well at some point.

[@donduck73]

I remember when you put this out the first time. Was my first model I did.

[@anakinflair]

I had started this model years ago under DeAgostini, and had gotten about half way through when I had to stop. I truly wish (and I asked) if it would be possible to start this model at a specific issue, like we were able to with Ecto 1 and the Enterprise D, but we can't. So as much as I want to do this one, I'm not sure I want to start over when I have the entire underside and most of the top assembled in my basement.

[@EricNagel-e2i]

I was wondering if you were going to redo do the Falcon, i look forward to following you as you go through the stages. I think i may be a month ahead of you, but i will follow as you progress through your build.

[@williamd1732]

I got this kit this year as well Wayne. Just don't know when I'll have the time to put it together! 😂 another one to collect dust in the closet. 😢 But I'll sure enjoy watching this series of yours. When I do get the time to do the hobby again, it'll be too work on the Cygnus. I will get that done for next year's Wonderfest I promise.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

We talked about that on Thursdays Live stream

[@MrMush78]

The finished article is going to be epic ! Can i ask what will the total cost be of this when finished ??

[@shayleebell9206]

wonder when you would build this

[@edwardberrocal7266]

So is it me or does this millennium falcon from fanhome seams to come weathered compared to the Diagostinis. Just got my second pack and I think I'm noticing some weathering effects.

[@STAFFIHOUND]

Hopefully this will give me the kick up the arse to build the original that's still in boxes and I keep forgetting about.

[@kevinvicedomini8745]

Im so tempted but im not sure of size

[@jasonfisher7722]

Wayne,could you recommend a suitable storage box for this,to keep everything safe,and that will keep the falcon safe when finished

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I get 32l storage boxes from Asda. £3 each

[@davidjames1389]

So looks like you're just going with the stock cockpit? I was planning to upgrade mine but there are so many different options out there I'm not sure which to go with...

[@mikeking2539]

I'm sure that they must have used a much bigger filming model as well, as some of the 'enging' cooling things (the circular parts on the back) were made from Tamiya 1'35 scale German tank parts,...

[@Andrew-el8xi]

Is this going too be a better version?? If its as good il be interested...thanks Wayne for these vids

[@merlin3717]

i believe the TF means Top Frame

[@julianmhall]

Wayne may I make two suggestions please? (not sure why I ask and then do it anyway *LOL*) For the cockpit overlay two cocktail sticks at diagonal corners of the sticker aligned to the same corner of the part, then slide the sticker down to align it perfectly. Ditto (ish) for the cockpit panel alignment :) Empty clear film canisters to store spare screws. You know from the many builds you've done there will be spares. Then write the name of each type on the canister with a permanent marker. Amazon do up to 12 canisters for only a few quid :) Thinking about it the canisters may be handy for small parts the modeller has to keep safe between stages. Then just write on the can the stage they came with and/or the part name/number. BTW for Stage 1, I think the label should read Laser Cannon not Laser Cutting :)

[@davidwestbury2328]

Fanhome may have sorted out mistakes from Deagostini and not wait future issues for the cockpit etc

[@lakrfan4980]

Wayne, if I recall correctly there is no need for oil on the screws because the holes they go into are actually threaded. Instead of oil I believe I used locktite on mine.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

It's become habit now lol

[@badams83]

What kind of oil do u use on your screws.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I use a 3 in 1 oil

[@MigMonkey]

I've wanted to do one of these Falcon builds forever. How often do they send an issue? Meaning how long does it take to build the full 100 issues?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Normally 4-5 stages every month

[@Enojadoland]

Honestly, the fact this doesn't come prepainted makes me feel like the best approach is to either paint the parts as they arrive, then assemble, or the more tedious one, wait the 2 years to obtain ALL the parts, paint everything, then assemble. -_- I feel that by assembling each issue as they arrive will make painting much more difficult in the long run.

[@bingbong-l9z]

Omg IV just spotted Robbie the Robot do you have a link to that build Sir ...

[@WorldofWayneUK]

It's not a build . It was a toy model I think. I got it for Christmas

[@bingbong-l9z]

Ok Sir just think if they did it would be a nice build flashing lights and sound... well that's just me I wonder if some one has done a 1to1 build of that Falcon as a live in Home 🏠

[@jackdanielsamarreto]

[@dgarvin53]

How do I get this kit, I thought they discontinued this kit. Thank you for sharing, awesome channel

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Fanhome have re released it

[@dgarvin53]

Thank you so much. I just ordered it. Love your channel@@WorldofWayneUK

[@robertdunn3311]

How does this work they send you the parts in pairs when you sign up

[@WorldofWayneUK]

They actually send 5 stages at a time. Only 2 when you first start just to give you a taster

[@MGower4465]

I remember Harrison Ford said when he saw the cockpit sets, he asked "How do we fly it?" There was no control stick or yoke

[@daronbull9492]

Great stuff

[@janbotha571]

I so wish I could get this in South Africa 😢

[@gamingwithjacobi8757]

I wonder if they will start selling the x-wing too, if they do will you redo the build videos of it as well like you are with the falcon, the enterprise, and delorian?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yes. Definitely

[@gamingwithjacobi8757]

@@WorldofWayneUK I see, if they do I look forward too them, also I remember your original x-wing videos and I remember when deagostini supplied it you had a bit of issues with it, let’s hope fanhome fixes those issues

[@TheModelGamer]

One thing I've always wondered. The glue you use. We don't have that brand here in the US. Have you heard anything about a comparable brand of glue in the US?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Loctite os pretty similar

[@TheModelGamer]

@@WorldofWayneUK ok. Because most of the glues I've tried, they leave that white film when it dries. It's really annoying when you're trying to do windows and you WANT them to stay clear.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

@TheModelGamer yer with windows I don't use CA glue. I use Micro Krystal Clear

[@stevenwheaton874]

I'm happy to see that you are building this model again. Do you think they'll come out with another X-wing ad well? If they do, will you be building that as well?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I'd love that. I miss my one

[@stevenwheaton874]

I hope so, too. It appears that they have been releasing new versions of some of the original models. Like, the Back to the Future DeLorean, Ecto-1, the Enterprise D, and now the Millennium Falcon. This all looks pretty cool.

[@Shooter_FPV]

Insignia White or Reefer White?? I am at Stage 18, but haven't assembled anything after Stage 5 yet. I'll paint as I go.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Insignia white base me thinks

[@eddywells5689]

Will you be putting it over the tv wayne ?

Everyone paints the game table with white and black checker. It's actually silver if you watch The new hope movie.

[@shaunsheldon1219]

Look at the size of that thing

[@jeremylemings]

I watched your original build, hope this goes easier than the first time around. With redoing the DeLorean and redoing this, you must be a bit of a glutton for punishment. Cheers.

[@smblockv8s]

It’s really too bad DeAgostini cancelled my subscription to the Millennium Falcon. I got 90% of the kit which took almost 4 years to get due to COVID only to be cancelled right at the finish line. What a waste, was really looking forward to building it.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Not good

[@timduggan1461]

The opening quote from the movie soundtrack? Harrison Ford as "Han Solo"... it's such a ridiculous statement. "Point 5 past light speed". What?!? Even AT the speed of light it's 4.3 years to the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri.

[@davidspencer8373]

[@bodiless99]

If I could buy the whole thing at once, I might do it, but there is no way I'm going to subscribe and get crap mailed to me once a month over the space of three years.
