My son's Revell Millennium Falcon

Post by Lee »

Had a few spare hours with my boy (Josh) today and we decided to get his Millennium Falcon done.

He did all the instructions, cutting from the sprue and fitting together and I did all the gluing. It's the first time he's done the majority of a build and he really enjoyed it and hung in there right to the end, took us a couple of hours.

He's really chuffed with it and I promised him I'd put it up on the site for him :D

I believe that smile makes yours a show stealer.

Well done Josh..... :th:
I wish my Josh would show more of an interest instead of Minecraft rubbish.... :crazy:

Well done again Josh, get Daddy to give you a 5 minute "young modellers" slot in the monthly news video for all the other under 10's on here.
Nige, your kids would love it, others have had their kids post here too ....

:clap: I've always thought the Falcon was the coolest sci-fi ship of all time, though I've recently had to tie it with the Enterprise NCC-1701E. Good job! (Trying desperately to find models to interest my teen grandsons; force them to come up for air from the X-Box, LOL)!
