Building The Mlillennium Falcon

Star Wars fans from around the world are uniting to build the Millennium Falcon.

The Full Scale Millennium Falcon Project was begun by Chris Lee, from Nashville, Tennessee.

His goal was to build a life size 1:1 scale of the famous star ship from Star Wars.

Since beginning the project he has been joined by others, from around the world, who are contributing pieces, parts, and money.

Already some of the contributors have put together the main console from the cockpit, as well as one of the quad lasers.

Lee says his eventual goal is to turn the Falcon into a workshop for students who wish to learn to weld, paint, or build.
