Very cool. I saw the tumbler on the bottom of the Millennium Falcon. Did you see that.

The vent on the bridge section that has the black insert isn't supposed to have an LED. It won't light up with that black insert. It was something we all were confused about the first time this kit came out because there's a space for an LED to go in there but it can't light up. Plus those vents aren't supposed to light up at all so no one was sure why they even had LEDs for those. It's inaccurate.

I started this model with Eagle moss and got to Kit #76 before they went under last year. This model is goofy and over engineered. Some pieces are plastic. Some are metal. Seems arbitrary which ones are and aren't. Not everything fits well. The light bleed is horrendous. You've got to spend a lot of extra time carefully masking the joints off. The wiring is a pain in the rear. So many wires. Every section has 2 to 3 LED's. By the time the saucer section is complete, we're talking 100's of wires. No external power. The nacelles, star drive and saucer section have their own batteries. I have no idea how this thing would have been able to stand if completed. I would say I was about 2/3rds of the way complete with this model. It sat in a box for almost a year. I sold online for a fraction of what I spent on it. Was 1200 dollars into it. Despite all the problems, this was totally fun to build. I was angry at Eaglemoss for not keeping their act together. I regret for not having completed it and selling it. My advice. If you're going to do it, just get all the kits at once. Make sure you have all the parts and then build at your own pace. Not worth waiting around. Fanhome probably won't state in business for long.

A time a commenter brings up cost the creator ignores it or tries to defend/deflect. In the very first FLASH frame of the video you can see that he got the nearly $2k model for free. This makes it hard to be objective about cost or even quality. I love the model, I don’t love the 34 packages and the attempt to make it seem less costly than it is.

Thanks for commenting. If you have seen my other videos you would know I take a significant loss making fanhome videos. I spend hours building and editing I could spend on videos that pay. We figured out I lose a little over $50 a video. I am a chump for not making something minimal or basic. On top of that, I don't get to experience it the same. I have a model I am paying for and am battling sharing the experience because it also adds an expectation from viewers. I'm transparent about receiving the model. If I was paying for it others say I would be justifying my purchase. The price is so variable, no two people may pay the same. Yesterday in the US this was offered for 30% off. Coupon codes, date purchased, your location, all SIGNIFICANTLY affect this. I have found there is not even a safe range to give. Call your local fanhome, ask them for details and watch for price changes. I have full fanhome builds from beginning to end. They only expect the first video. For those that do and don't buy I show the process and answer the question if it was worth it. Either way, thanks for watching and commenting.
