Star Wars Millennium Falcon

I haven't quite finished this particular model but finding it's just as good as the others i've built. I've built 3 other of these cardstock models and have at least a half dozen+ in my stash because i like them so much. There appear to be two predominant brands, 4D Build and 4D CityScape. They're very similar in design but the 4D Build kits have the piece numbers printed on each piece whereas the one 4D CityScape I built didn't have the part number printed on each piece so once it's punched out, there's no way to tell what the piece number is. All the kits i've done are star wars themed and come out looking very very good. The kits are pretty straight forward but will likely need adult assistance for kids under 15-ish. If you can put together Ikea type furniture, these should be doable for you, but if you can't assemble ikea furniture, these may not be for you. Special tools aren't required but can help significantly with assembly and having a better finished product. Special tools range from long tweezers, fine scissors, nippers, razor knife, etc. Toothpicks come in handy if you're using the glue. I found that Elmers glue works as well. Most of them come with a small tube of glue, but I've found that none of them really needed any glue assuming it's going to be a static model that's not played with. If it's going to be played with, glueing on some pieces would be recommended. Heavy play is probably not recommended or it will eventually get beat up, crushed, torn, wrinkled, although it is a very sturdy model when finished. I've found this Tie Fighter is probably the easiest I've done so far and would be a good starter kit especially since it's one of the cheaper kits. The R2D2 model was slightly more complicated but builds into a fine looking replica about 12" high and was fairly priced at $20. I've been significantly impressed with each kit that I've built regarding how well they were designed/engineered for strength, assembly, and an impressive finished product. Very fun. Can even be therapeutic with punching out all the pieces. Highly recommended.

FANTASTIC Model!! Loved everything about this!! JUST BE CAREFUL with the shiny pieces as your fingernail can leave a permanent indent on the surface of the piece. That said this was a JOY to build and it is worth every penny! Just wish they connected to the platform. They are free standing on the platform which makes them not sturdy (more 3PO than R2). Thank you 4D Build, please please come out with more from Star Wars. So far I have done ALL of them!! Maybe a "Droidika" or AT-ST (already did your AT-AT which was awesome) or a Pod Racer, or with that shiny metalic material used for R2 in this one how about a NABOO Royal Starship or even better the original "BLOCKADE RUNNER!!!" (with lights of course)

Absolute 5-stars!!! These sets are genuinely the best. They are very easy to assemble and look awesome when on display. Currently I have the Star Destroyer and the Venator side-by-side hung up by fishing like and they look magnificent. I also have the Death Star, X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, R2-D2, and Tie Fighter too and they all look super detailed. I didn’t have to use glue for any of them and found that they hold up really well on their own. The assembly process can take some time but it’s very fun and for how cheap these sets are they are genuinely the best Star Wars decoration apart from the LEGO sets. HIGHLY recommend these to anyone who like model-making and might not want to shell out hundreds for the Lego sets.

I'd previously purchased the 4D Build model for R2-D2 and was very impressed with the finished results, so I wanted to give this one a try too. I had a lot of fun putting this together and couldn't be happier with the finished model. This thing is BIG...over two feet long...and it has very good detail. It's light enough to easily hang it from the ceiling. I thought that the assembly process of this model was a bit easier and faster than the R2-D2 one despite the larger number of parts (fewer curves simplify assembly). There are a few things worth noting. I did come across 3 or 4 steps where it seemed like either the instructions were ambiguous or one of the pieces had incorrectly sized tabs or holes. Think carefully about the assembly process as you go to avoid problems. They provide a cardboard tool to punch out the slot holes on all the pieces...it is too flimsy and will eventually become unusable. You will want to have some other plastic or metal tool to use instead. I used a set of metal tweezers, and I've seen others mention that a paperclip works well. They provide a small tube of glue to secure pieces though I didn't find it to be strictly necessary to get a good result. The model will hold together reasonably well without it. I would not recommend gluing anything until you've finished an assembly in case you realize a piece needs to be repositioned. I actually held off on extensive gluing until the entire model was complete.

This model is really fun to build but the engines are very tricky to do. It is great for gifts to any star wars fan 10+. The cardstock is very high quality but it sometimes bends. The illustrations are very nice and it is really accurate. I like that is comes with glue and a tool to help you push out the tabs. The instructions are very easy to follow and there are no missing parts.

Wife loves it. It is displayed on one of her Star Wars shelves. Not overly difficult to put together, but you definitely want to have some crazy glue or something like that on hand to keep it together, as some of the tabs like to pop out. Also, the price is great.

I was looking for an ISD for some time. I thought about the Lego but that is STUPID expensive. It was the price and the size of this 4D model that cought my eye. Figured couldn't go wrong with it so I gave it a chance. I watched the utube videos and it look good. So for mine I bought some glue cause i didn't like the glue it comes with. And I glued most everything. Figuring it will ridgidize the kit. And it did. I spent just under 12 hrs building it in about a week and a half. It was ALOT of fun. No real difficulty in any phase of building. But if I had to pick the hardest part, it would be the 2 shield generators. Now the bad. I have since ordered 5 other kits. Dam you 4D! The Imperial light cruiser, Standard tie fighter, Vader's tie advanced, Tie interceptor, T65 Xwing. Overall these kits are truly amazing. Excellent detail. Great size (although I wish the capital ships where to scale to each other). And a GREAT time building it. I'd love to see some other genre. Star trek. Battlestar. Babylon 5. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE KITS

Well made model kit! Parts are sturdy, well made, clearly marked. They connect securely. Glue is provided in the kit which is rarely needed . Instructions are clear and easy to follow. A great fun project for both parents and kids! Hints: use the glue to secure loose fitting parts, just a dot is all you need. Be aware this is a cardstock material being used. Don’t force the joints together. You will bend the tabs.

Great fun. Best bang for your modelling buck

Was ok to build. I used glue gun to keep together. One part I had on wrong was the piece that has the round platform that goes on the middle of the top and bottom of ship where the turrets go on. The top side has all the cut outs and it wasn't clear on the instruction manual so I ended up having it flipped where the cutouts were on the bottom. Because I couldn't backtrack a few steps to fix it I therefore glued the part in and had to glue the turrets on. Over all was fun to do.

My daughter loved this gift.

excelente para entretenerse, aunque algunas pestañas de union a veces son dificiles de embonar con las ranuras donde se supone que van, pero se entiende por el tipo de material, pero una vez que le encuentras el modo te vas de largo! vale completamente la pena, ademas de que cuando lo terminas se ve genial!!
