I opened mine last night that I got in Jan 2018. 1/3 of the way through Bags 1.
I finished mine 1 step per day.
I have made led lights for the rear and sound of the falcon when the lights come on.
Took me about 3 months to finish at a slow pace. It was a bit of a father-son project with my dad and I ended up getting him back into Lego :D
I’m now planning on building a display coffee table for it. Done some research on materials and structure. Now to actually make a start.
I am doing bits with my son. Was looking at some sort of table at the end. Possibly a Death Star dock one.
This was done to tease while I was waiting for the winning names to be published...Quote:

If you are lazy there is a ikea glass table that this will fit just dont put the glass doors in.Quote:

And if the hit to the wallet wasn?t enough, a re-issue of the UCS Star Destroyer has been rumoured and is looking very likely: https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group/statu...010565635?s=20
Tidy! Would you consider getting an LED light kit for it?Quote:

Just occurred to me that the acrylic cover would need to be removed each time you wanted to switch on the LEDs. :)Quote:

Urm, mine is IR Remote, I have even include the falcon's take off sound clip whenever the LED is turned on.Quote:

Is funny, I felt this was the most pleasing toy I had, I think is more to do with accomplishment and is just satisfying.
