Another slightly crappy title, I know .... But when it comes to exposing a Millennium Falcon UCS (10179), the problem is huge (!). In addition to the obviously necessary space, it is also necessary to find a position which allows to admire at best the innumerable details of this set which has become legendary. 

etcknight had already offered to fix it to the wall (see this article) using a TV support, and BobBongo1895 now brings up an idea that is probably less acrobatic but which allows you to orient the machine as well as possible: A support specially designed to keep the Millennium Falcon at about 45 ° d tilt. A good idea that allows you to display the thing on a shelf placed high up while retaining the possibility of admiring it.

For the record, BobBongo1895 had undertaken to rebuild a Millennium Falcon by purchasing all the parts on BrickLink (see the dedicated topic). what many members of the Brickpirate forum have also done (see this dedicated topic).

Nice 2x4 initiative which decided to put two X-Wings of its own in the spotlight with this very well designed chainring which really highlights them. I love this type of surface clad in details, devious accessories and with a cleverly used play of colors.

As said a few months ago on this blog, which had also earned me the wrath of a few by email, I'm not a fan of these representations of the X-Wing, but their intelligent staging really changes the perception that we can have of these machines by putting them in a very rewarding context. 

A beautiful exhibition object with a piece of Death Star and two rebel pilots in action ... The presentation is really the key ....

There are MOCs that appeal to me, quite simply ... This Jedi Interceptor ETA-2 proposed by iomedes, you know the guy who had started in the reproduction of the Venator Erik Varszegi, has it all.

This is a fairly classic construction with a touch of fantasy especially at the level of the wings and everything is there: the color scheme is interesting, the appearance of this machine has become a classic in the LEGO Star Wars range. is respected, the photo is beautiful ...

So I suggest it to you here, because everything is level, and seeing it, I said to myself that such an OMC deserved to make the homepage of this blog a little more beautiful and attractive.

To see more about the work of iomedes, it's on his flickr gallery that it happens.

This is the big piece of this wave of LEGO Super Heroes Marvel sets: 735 pieces, 5 minifigs and a Quinjet, the machine that carries the Avengers: The set 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle.

Loki, I'm having a little trouble with his headdress and his scepter which could have been a little more ... not sure what, but a little more. Black Widow, I love this minifigure not necessarily similar to Scarlett but which remains a pretty feminine minifig with well detailed legs. Thor, I have a little trouble with his hair but we'll get used to it, Iron Man, everything has been said a hundred times ...

Note that this video gives pride of place to special effects and that Artifex really let go to animate this review and make it rather fun.

On the Quinjet we will note the use as usual by LEGO of many parts in colors not necessarily matched to the set and which I always wonder what they are doing there: Is it to give reference points to the youngest? during construction? To achieve an economy of scale on certain parts? No one has really gotten any information on this from the manufacturer, although I'm leaning towards the first answer.

The various features of the Quinjet are staged and the drone ejection mechanism is quite successful.

Anyway, take a look and make up your own mind. Me, it's clear, I need this set ....

You know you've seen this contraption before, but hard to remember where ... It's good in the animated short LEGO Star Wars The Padawan Menace broadcast on LUDO (France 3) and which was also released in Blu-ray / DVD what appears this funny space bus piloted by C-3PO and R2-D2.

This sympathetic creation was exhibited like many others during Star Wars Days 2012 at LEGOLAND Park in California. To discover the other models on display, go to the dedicated album in the FBTB flickr gallery.
