<http://www.geocities.com/PicketFence/1438/falcon2.htm [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!
