No problems so far.... they are quite sturdy and all the weight is transfered downwards so no stress is being applied sideways which would cause a breakage ... one thing i did notice is the legs are not as tight a fit in the housings as you would like... this means they have a tendancy to drop out as you are holding the falcon... im going to put a couple of magnets in to stop that though .... Thanks all for the comments Ade

well ...two years of blood, sweat and tears (and superglued fingers!!) and I come to the end of my millennium falcon journey.Having never attempted anything like this before I have found it a great learning experience, sometimes fun....sometimes frustrating...but always satisfying. So for the final time I post the images of my take on the falcon in its two display modes... I would like to thank everyone on this forum who took the time to praise , advise and also inspire me....you are truly a great bunch and I will miss this little corner of the crazy world.... thanks again ade adriuus attached the following image(s):

I cannot believe were the 2 years have gone but appreciate you sharing your build over that time as its been a treat to follow. Hope you decide on another build because your updates and ideas are really good - do you think you might have a go at R2D2? Happy Modelling

Fantastic job Ade! She looks horrible! (In a good way!) If at first you don't succeed,
maybe you should skip the chainsaw juggling...

Cheers mark
Dont fancy R2D2.... was never into the droids... had issue 1 of the deloreaan (again) the other week so im going to invest myself in that... i did also start working on a larger scale falcon cockpit which i must get around to showing... its gone off the boil at the moment cause im all falconed out!!!!.... love what your doing on the customised build and i will get around to leaving some chatter on there...
As a side to everyone i did consider starting a thread where we could post pics of us the builders with our proudly finished falcons to kind of put faces to names... what do you guys think ?

What R2D2 is not the droid you are looking for? BTW nice to see a completed Falcon great work wish I were that done. I am having trouble deciding how close to the ESB falcon I want it to be. So my build has stalled until I make that decision. Bill Make things as simple as possible but not simpler... - Albert Einstein
