The Millenium Falcon


The Millennium Falcon mini building set was released in 2003 and represents the hugely iconic ship from the Star Wars universe. The set contains additional parts to build a mini Y-wing Fighter when also using additional parts from other mini building sets of that year, namely the mini AT-AT (4489), the mini Republic Gunship (4490) and the mini MTT (4491).
The Millennium Falcon, originally known as YT-1300 492727ZED, was a modified YT-1300 light freighter ship manufactured by Corellian Engineering. In its storied career, it had a reputation for being fast but unreliable. The Millennium Falcon changed hands on numerous occasions and endured many adventures and upgrades during its lifetime. Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian in the Cloud City Sabacc Tournament. After acquiring the Falcon, Han Solo added his own upgrades including armor plating, weapons, sensor jammers and engines. The Falcon was used primarily for smuggling goods for crime bosses. This all changed in the Mos Eisley Cantina, on one fateful trip chartered by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker to Alderaan.

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!

Custom ARAH Duke

Here's another repainted Duke with some new ammo packs made in putty. This is a custom painted 1993 Battle Corps Battle Commander Duke. One of my early experiments with epoxy putty. I have another version of this figure on the workbench so expect to see it soon here too.
