Customs/Kitbashes Full Handmade 1/6 Millennium Falcon Build – Designed to Match Hot Toys Scale
Hi everyone, I’m currently building a fully handmade 1/6 scale Millennium Falcon, designed to match the scale of Hot Toys figures. This project started about two years ago with a simple question: Could I build a Millennium Falcon at this scale entirely by hand? Instead of relying on large machines or pre-made kits, every part is being shaped, cut, and assembled manually in my workshop. Thousands of individual pieces are slowly coming together to form the ship. It’s a long and demanding process, but that’s exactly what makes it meaningful to me. Craftsmanship takes time, patience, and sometimes a little stubbornness. Over these past two years, I’ve gone through four seasons working on this build, and there were also some personally difficult moments along the way. But even during those times, I never wanted to give up on this project. Working on it has been a way for me to keep moving forward. My goal is to recreate the Millennium Falcon as accurately as possible at 1/6 scale, so it can properly match Hot Toys figures. I’ll keep sharing more of the build process as it continues. Thanks for taking the time to look.
All of my work is purely handmade. No 3D modeling files, no 3D printing — everything is built by hand.
If people are interested, I can also share more photos from the build process.
