Metal EarthPremium Series Star Wars Millennium Falcon Color 3D Metal Model Kit Fascinations

Metal Earth models are very unique and fun to figure out. We love building LEGO sets and Metal Earth is another nice way to occupy some down time. These are a bit more complex than other models, but look much nicer compared to other model types.

Not too bad to put together and it looks OK, but has engineering flaws which make the build less than stellar.When putting the two halves together the back end in the exhaust area is not designed well. You have tabs on the bottom which are meant to, somehow, adjoin to receiving holes in the upper half which are covered by fins. I had to bend the lower half tabs in to get the two halves to “join”. This could have been fixed if relief holes were added to the upper fins so the lower tabs could be passed through and bent or twisted.The second issue is the stand. That too is a bad design. It doesn’t fit anything on the bottom that well. It seemed like an afterthought. I had the expectation the stand would be more like the original Millennium Falcon model Metal Earth developed. That model has a logical stand design.The third item are the two side vents that are put on last. They were very sloppy. The pictures of the model show this, but I thought it was because it was a demo build.
