Picked this up today while shopping my kids. It has been about 20 years since I put together any LEGO's and it was as much fun as I remember. Comments welcome, just remember it is out of the box, absolutely no aftermarket parts used
Regards,
Robert

Robert:

I see many imperfections you need to fix! Just look, it's way out of scale and the colors are all wrong! And you didn't even touch any of the seams!

Actually, I'm pretty happy to see a fellow modeler build Lego. I'm 18 and still enjoy it, so it isn't just for kids. I will even admit that I devote more room and have a larger work area for it than my modeling bench! (and I've spent a LOT more money on Lego )

Hope to see more from you soon. Maybe you'll "scratchbuild" something next time!

:-) I have really had to restrain myself from getting some of those LEGO's and I have no children!

I tell you what the Falcon looked pretty awesome, my daughters and I might just have to make the trip back to Target tomorrow.

You need to clean up the seamlines.. :-) :-) :-) :-)
Don't you love Lego? I played with it as a kid, and hope to get my little girl started aswel.

May the Lego be with you
