So this is the millenium falcon lego style, although its just blocks of different descriptions, this model could easily end up being way too heavy, so for the moment i'm keeping all the surfaces bare until the end.

Man I loved Lego as a kid, went to crap for ages and remember being in a gamleys store with a friend and going on about how they should make star wars lego. 6 months later and there it was on the shelves, ideas that good have to be realized.
The models look great so far and can't wait to see the finished Falcon. Death star next maybe.

Quick update, you may think this is all just duplicate move, but the way some of the lego toys were designed is extreme clever engineering!
