Millennium Falcon

I haven't quite finished this particular model but finding it's just as good as the others i've built. I've built 3 other of these cardstock models and have at least a half dozen+ in my stash because i like them so much. There appear to be two predominant brands, 4D Build and 4D CityScape. They're very similar in design but the 4D Build kits have the piece numbers printed on each piece whereas the one 4D CityScape I built didn't have the part number printed on each piece so once it's punched out, there's no way to tell what the piece number is. All the kits i've done are star wars themed and come out looking very very good. The kits are pretty straight forward but will likely need adult assistance for kids under 15-ish. If you can put together Ikea type furniture, these should be doable for you, but if you can't assemble ikea furniture, these may not be for you. Special tools aren't required but can help significantly with assembly and having a better finished product. Special tools range from long tweezers, fine scissors, nippers, razor knife, etc. Toothpicks come in handy if you're using the glue. I found that Elmers glue works as well. Most of them come with a small tube of glue, but I've found that none of them really needed any glue assuming it's going to be a static model that's not played with. If it's going to be played with, glueing on some pieces would be recommended. Heavy play is probably not recommended or it will eventually get beat up, crushed, torn, wrinkled, although it is a very sturdy model when finished. I've found this Tie Fighter is probably the easiest I've done so far and would be a good starter kit especially since it's one of the cheaper kits. The R2D2 model was slightly more complicated but builds into a fine looking replica about 12" high and was fairly priced at $20. I've been significantly impressed with each kit that I've built regarding how well they were designed/engineered for strength, assembly, and an impressive finished product. Very fun. Can even be therapeutic with punching out all the pieces. Highly recommended.

Well made model kit! Parts are sturdy, well made, clearly marked. They connect securely. Glue is provided in the kit which is rarely needed . Instructions are clear and easy to follow. A great fun project for both parents and kids! Hints: use the glue to secure loose fitting parts, just a dot is all you need. Be aware this is a cardstock material being used. Don’t force the joints together. You will bend the tabs.

FANTASTIC Model!! Loved everything about this!! JUST BE CAREFUL with the shiny pieces as your fingernail can leave a permanent indent on the surface of the piece. That said this was a JOY to build and it is worth every penny! Just wish they connected to the platform. They are free standing on the platform which makes them not sturdy (more 3PO than R2). Thank you 4D Build, please please come out with more from Star Wars. So far I have done ALL of them!! Maybe a "Droidika" or AT-ST (already did your AT-AT which was awesome) or a Pod Racer, or with that shiny metalic material used for R2 in this one how about a NABOO Royal Starship or even better the original "BLOCKADE RUNNER!!!" (with lights of course)

Very good. Big fan. A bit bigger than anticipated but that's fine. It's pretty sturdy for being made of puzzle pieces. Not too hard to put together just remove the little pieces from the homes before putting it together or it rattles like a maraca. Nothing was missing or damaged so it was overall pretty good.

Amazing product. Had a little bit of trouble making some pieces fit because the material would bend while forcing the pegs thru the slots, but overall, it was an amazing build, really fun, has a really good size.

You can't go wrong with Lago. It's a wonderful kit. It took me a couple days to put it together and I didn't rush, and there were no issues. Everything was there, terrific gift for a kid or an adult that likes mechanical stuff and put stuff together

Love this, I wanted a model of an X-Wing fighter, looked at the Lego version but it was cost prohibited. I actually like this better, much nicer appearance and a whole lot cheaper. It was easily assembled. I like that it comes with a stand.

I'd previously purchased the 4D Build model for R2-D2 and was very impressed with the finished results, so I wanted to give this one a try too. I had a lot of fun putting this together and couldn't be happier with the finished model. This thing is BIG...over two feet long...and it has very good detail. It's light enough to easily hang it from the ceiling. I thought that the assembly process of this model was a bit easier and faster than the R2-D2 one despite the larger number of parts (fewer curves simplify assembly). There are a few things worth noting. I did come across 3 or 4 steps where it seemed like either the instructions were ambiguous or one of the pieces had incorrectly sized tabs or holes. Think carefully about the assembly process as you go to avoid problems. They provide a cardboard tool to punch out the slot holes on all the pieces...it is too flimsy and will eventually become unusable. You will want to have some other plastic or metal tool to use instead. I used a set of metal tweezers, and I've seen others mention that a paperclip works well. They provide a small tube of glue to secure pieces though I didn't find it to be strictly necessary to get a good result. The model will hold together reasonably well without it. I would not recommend gluing anything until you've finished an assembly in case you realize a piece needs to be repositioned. I actually held off on extensive gluing until the entire model was complete.

Much smaller than expected. Bought as a gift so hopefully it’s not disappointing

Was ok to build. I used glue gun to keep together. One part I had on wrong was the piece that has the round platform that goes on the middle of the top and bottom of ship where the turrets go on. The top side has all the cut outs and it wasn't clear on the instruction manual so I ended up having it flipped where the cutouts were on the bottom. Because I couldn't backtrack a few steps to fix it I therefore glued the part in and had to glue the turrets on. Over all was fun to do.

I really enjoyed assemble it! it very well made and perfect size. Everything very detailed.

My daughter loved this gift.

Incredible detail. The instrutions are clear and easy to follow. It's not an easy build, but it is fun. The kids love it, and the older kids too!
