New Toy - Y2K Peregrine

It's been a while since I've posted anything that isn't a game report. Lack of time, lack of motivation. But thinking about the inspiration and encouragement I get from seeing what other people are working on, maybe I should have a go again. And here's something people might be interested in seeing.

For a while now, I've been keeping tabs on the design process for Miniature Scenery's not Millenium Falcon. Well, it was released last week and even though it cost silly money I took the plunge.
It's completely over the top with all the interior detail (even a unisex toilet!) But that's the kind of thing I love, so I figure this will be a labour of love.
There's plenty to it - six mdf sheets and six cardboard sheets: over one thousand pieces!
I'll try to post semi-regular updates with how it's going.

    1. I'd love to see what you'd do with one: it'd be right at home among your creations.

  2. Eek! Over a thousand pieces! For me that would be a terrifying prospect. That said I certainly look forward to watching your progress and seeing the finished Falcon!

    1. Yes, there's a lot there, but I do find the wood and PVA combo to be quite therapeutic.Lego for grown-ups!

  3. That looks amazing! How big is it overall? To be playable in there, I imagine it's got to be pretty big.

    1. It's 30cm long by 22cm wide (pardon the metric!) So you'll get figures in there, but there won't be too much action going on. I've just always loved cutaway stuff since I was a kid, so I guess this hits that spot!

  4. I saw it this week, and I'm in love. Kinda out of my budget, but I may however fall to the temptation anyway...
    Looking forward to your progress on this one!
