Ben’s LEGO®
Millennium Falcon — Ben Fleskes
Weighing in at 15 pounds (9 kg.) and measuring more than 2 feet (67 cm.) in
length, Ben’s minifig-scale Millenium Falcon is an exquisitely crafted
likeness of the heroic Star Wars ship. A rare, world-class masterpiece of
LEGO® craftsmanship. Not only is the model equipped with motors, lights, and
a sound element, but it also has a spring-loaded concussion missile launcher,
a pneumatic loading ramp, and working pneumatic landing gear. Ben has left no
stone unturned in the quest for realism; his model even uses old and yellowed
elements in some places to simulate the dirt and grime of the real Falcon.
Okay, get going then! Many great photos await you!
