#Lego millennium falcon size how to

The instructions give you specific advice on how to hold it, in fact. Lego rates it as being for ages 16 and up – its larger sets are often given steep age ratings, seemingly due to the large number of small pieces often required, and there can be delicate handling needed once something this big is built, because it’s certainly a weighty thing, and mishandling could cause an accident. It will take a long time – it would easily occupy a whole weekend if you were really going at it, or could consume a few hours per night for easily a week or so. Then you add the legs, the outer silhouette of its shape, the rooms drop into the gaps in the frame, and all the outer body panels. The build consists of putting together a hefty Lego Technic rectangular frame, with sections inside – it’s kind of like a window frame. It’s made from 7,541 pieces, a large number of which are just for adding all the little details, to get the look exactly right outside and inside, with its panels and pipes and so on. At least the ship design means it’s not very tall at 21cm (8 inches). The Millennium Falcon reaches 84cm (33 inches) long when fully built, and 56cm (22 inches) wide. These are both absolute beasts, both in terms of the number of pieces as well as the finished size. (Image credit: Lego Group) Lego Millennium Falcon vs Lego Star Destroyer: Size & complexity
