Hi,
just saw Star Wars Episodes 4 to 6 on BR and I immediately decided to build a Millenium Falcon, as it is a cool
"scrapheap" - not my words - Han Solo said so.

The model consists of 8 sheets where sheet no 1 has to be printed twice.
I also found an instruction in internet in japanese and in english. (SF PaperCraftGallery)

First steps - no problems just be aware to do it twice and what is the upper side of the Falcon.(upper part with the red mark)

Note: the holes have to be on both parts the main body (1) and the small parts (2).

May the force be with you....

Let see how your falcon is going to be.
I did this one too...but mixed it a little with a Russian falcon...to get more details on it.

but it is a fun build.
 
Hi Starbuck, I've built the very same model! It's quite a nice build, I found that the "caps" at the end of the corridors (where the entrance rap is) are a bit proud once glued in place. All I did was "borrow" the wife's manicure scissors & trim it down. :)

Enjoy, I'm sure it's going to turn out great!

next parts - and the two layers of the main body are glued together - by following the instructions - no problem seen so far.

no guns so far ;-)
First difficulty: the big part of this session is not easy to combine with the body. It took me some time to and some tries to handle it.
I managed without using a sissor.
As this procedure will also be necessary for the bottom - I will glue it only on the edge and not additionally in the middle section. Should make it more easy - I hope.

Result for the upper part OK with difficulties;-))
