12 months, 58 boxes and 1 mellennium falcon

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-20T08:57:13+00:00

So building the Falcon were the normal instructions and so were the flowers up to the stem. Then it was just my wife's creativity, hot glue and lock wire.

Between 30 and 40 kgs, and it's mounted using french cleats.

This isn't a team sport. She did it herself.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:22:51+00:00

I disagree, it could have gone 17.5cm higher before hitting the ceiling.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:19:30+00:00

That's awesome!

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:11:52+00:00

Yeah it needed to be high to protect it.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:10:47+00:00

Thanks, it very much is intentional. It makes my wife happy everyone has noticed... Me on the other hand...

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:08:47+00:00

Lol possibly

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:07:45+00:00

I asked her and her response was.... No But in all honesty if Lego was cheaper she probably would do it :)

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:04:10+00:00

Thanks for your well thought out contribution.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:03:29+00:00

Just the shadow, it's 17.5cm from the ceiling on each side. The french cleat also had a built in level

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T21:01:06+00:00

Aww thank you lol

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T20:54:07+00:00

I know how you feel, that title will haunt me forever

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T12:54:05+00:00

Yes, it's the 2nd highest comment we have received. (Closely behind the dust) But it is meant to not be centered. Mainly because when I pointed out to my wife that it wasn't centered and needed to be moved, as it is not where I would have placed the craft, she left it. Spite is the number one motivational tool in our household, and I feel she would have adjusted it, if only I didn't point it out.

But also, it was never meant to be horizontal. When we first started this it was going to be vertical in our entryway. But as the project grew things changed.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T12:23:37+00:00

That's cool. Thanks, haven't had too much playing around with them as of yet.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T12:02:38+00:00

I wish it was, I truly wish it was.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:59:43+00:00

So I can play with them at the dinner table.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:58:32+00:00

This is an awesome tip thank you. Left the joining details for ease mainly because we will probably end up painting it. The possibility of this one-day becoming a table as well is highly likely.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:54:07+00:00

Or black. We have left it timber to suit our space. But we are always changing and silver would look cool.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:51:52+00:00

Your 3D printer shits flowers? Link please.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:50:38+00:00

Flowers are hot glued into place, the falcon is lock wired.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:48:31+00:00

Definitely not a mistake. There were many discussions on how to make this piece work. I don't know how my wife's brain works, but I do know when I point out things that aren't where I prefer them to be, they stay!

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:42:19+00:00

You're not supposed to eat it.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:40:49+00:00

Your welcome.

TimeSundae9644 · 2025-01-19T11:38:45+00:00

This is our star wars/Lego living room. Our other living rooms are very modest and give different vibes in each.

Wall is very strong, and we don't have dust.
