So unlike my previous build, I started off with the main body of the cockpit. I love the stuff.Īs I began this build, I thought I was going to be able to reuse all of the nose cone, so you'll see that in some of the early photos. Not only is it flexible, but it also takes spray paint well, comes in different thicknesses, is easy to cut and drill, glues well, and it is cost-effective. While most things changed from the first build to the one you see here, one thing in particular remained the same: This project is 95% constructed from PVC board. I'm happy to say that I believe that we've met our goals in each of these areas.Īlso, when I started this new version of the Millennium Falcon playhouse, I came across this amazing 360 degree zoomable panorama of the Millennium Falcon which was a tremendous resource in locking in the details.
In particular, I focused on the following areas of improvement: So over the past year, I've been working with my children to start over, almost from scratch, to improve on the prior design's weaknesses. While it was clearly awesome in many ways, it ended up being mostly a proof of concept. Two years ago, I built my kids a Millennium Falcon playhouse.
