Think Hasbro’s new Millennium Falcon toy was a huge cut above the original 1970’s version? Well, it looks like one enthusiast has upped the stakes and served up a professionally detailed, screen-accurate version of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy by enhancing the toy with some model-weathering know-how.
From the auction description:
This craft has been totally repainted by a professional and is now screen accurate! Lots of time and detail went it to authenticating the Falcon right down to is grill vents. References come from many sources to include Magic of Myth and productions stills. The cockpit is repainted to match up with the screen version and looks awesome! Pictures just don’t do this auction justice! The entrance ramp was repainted to look more like the movie version! Med bay was painted to look more realistic and most of the Falcon was weathered to give it that rustic feel that the ship truly had!
The auction closed without any bidders, but we’ll admit, we were pretty tempted to pick this up for the Online office! Check out the original auction here.

Awesome Paint Job!!! congratulations!!
yo,that is a tricked out falcon. it is so cool!!!!!!!!
Dear Force.Net and Fellow Fans,
Thank you for your kind words and compliments! Thank you, force.net for being the best Star Wars site in the galaxy! I’m a professional prop artist; I’ve been selling quality customs models and props for many years now. My work has been purchased by collectors all over the globe and as far away as the Forrest moon of Endor.
I had to sell my Millennium Falcon due to being laid off from my production job, as many o you know our economy is sucks and there are many of us being forced to liquidate our collections.
I feel my asking price is fair for the quality of my work and time. I’ve gotten such a high response, especially since the force.net gave me high marks on my work I’ve decided to relist this item!
Any one out there interested in my project please feel free to contact me and I would love to know that one of my Millennium Falcons is sitting on a desk some where at the Force.net! Love you guys and best wish for prosperous New Year!
All The Best!
Sincerely,
Robert

Wow, awesome job! That really looks like the Millennium Falcon! I’ve purchased from this Ebayer several props in the past; his attention to detail is quite superb and his prices are always fair.
Great work dude!
That’s a beautiful piece, and a big upgrade from the currently sold Hasbro paint job. The reason that I originally passed on the Big Millenium Falcon, as it’s commonly called is because it seems very lightly weathered. The attention and execution paid to this particular piece is quite impressive.
Hey, That graphic looks like from Star Wars Knights of the old Republic. It looks like boarding the Ebon Hawk. But i think the Millenium Falcons Gran,Grand-II- father was the Ebon Hawk, or maybe it doesn’t… But graphic looks like that. Dearly members and fans no fence what i sad about the graphics of this picture. ( One last comment ) I wonder how it would feel to board it in real and just jump away in Hyperspace… : }
Excellent Job! Looks like it could really make the Jump to Light Speed, I’ll take 12 dozen! Would like to see more of this guy’s work…
