Vintage Flashback: Mini Millennium Falcon by ototoko

Small flashback for those who do not know him on what remains today the best MOC of the Millennium Falcon on this scale and which has served and still serves as a reference for many MOCers: that of ototoko (2007).

The achievement is exceptional with many very interesting finds allowing to respect the proportions of the machine. Note the two characters (Han Solo & Chewbacca) depicted in the cockpit using flat round 1x1, a bit like miniLEGOmaniac.

Mandible length and thickness, cockpit size and offset, and vessel thickness are optimized to stick to scale as much as possible. Special mention for greebs judiciously disseminated.

Note that LEGO marketed a very successful version of this vessel in Midi-Scale format in 2009 with the set 7778 that we can still get on Bricklink for around 40 € (MISB). In fact, you absolutely need this set, it is quite simply very successful and will take pride of place on your shelves without taking up too much space, and you will surely miss it just like me ...

To go with it, also offer yourself the set 8099 Midi-Scale Imperial Star Destroyer released in 2010. It is currently sold around 20 € in MISB on Bricklink, a deal at this price.

To see the whole series of photos of this Millennium Falcon, go to ototoko's Brickshelf gallery. The few minutes it takes to discover this MOC are well worth it.
