World's Most Accurate Millennium Falcon Replica - 7 Years To Complete
Sean from the KZhead channel Square Models, spent 7 years to complete, the most screen accurate, filming quality miniature replica, of the Millennium Falcon, based on the miniature used in the filming of the original 1977 movie, Star Wars.
This Millennium Falcon replica, is a true size for size, part for part, EXACT “Filming Miniature Replica”. Meaning if you put the original 1977 Star Wars Millennium Falcon model, side by side with Sean's replica, it would be hard to tell them apart, he also said it’s the only known, ‘most screen accurate replica’ ever created.
Sean spent 4 years researching and buying kits & materials, he used over 2500 parts from 150 vintage model kits, over 2000 hours in construction time over 3 years, spent about $20,000 US dollars in costs and took 7 years total from start to finish, to make the Most Movie Accurate Star Wars Millennium Falcon filming quality miniature replica.
The models overall length is just under 6 feet long, and is approximately 4 feet in diameter for the main round body, and just under a foot in height, and weighs approximately 150 lbs or about 68 kgs. It has been mounted on an Engine stand which allows Sean to rotate the model 300 degrees, to give quick easy access to both top and bottom of the model so he can work on it.
Thanks for watching.

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★ *1) Why did you use CGI footage at **15:56** and not original model footage* - I tried getting original footage, but all Star Wars films on streaming platforms are protected, I could not even screen capture the footage, it comes out blank. So I used what I could find on KZhead, since it's only a few seconds of footage to highlight a point in the narration, so it falls under fair use, but I could not get original model footage.
*_There is also another one that is very accurate. It was scratch built by a professional model maker in Norway in the late '90's maybe very early 2000's. It's over 6 feet long_*
On a drive somewhere in my home, I have digitized HD footage of the original trilogy that while not all of it is directly derived from them is completely screen accurate to the original theatrical releases of the original trilogy. This even means the first movie in the original trilogy not claiming to be "Episode IV: A New Hope" but rather the crawl suggests it's a stand-alone film. It's not hard to find these copies on the internet if you know how to shiver your timbers and know that the correct search term is "despecialized edition." Last I heard a 4K version was being worked on. It might be out by now. The copies I have are just standard HD because I don't have much of a use for 4K since the geometric increase in pixels isn't worth the almost imperceptible increase in visual fidelity from the screen viewing positions in my home.
So beautiful wow!
But....that doesn't look like CGI?
Wonderful video and story just the right length and great information about both the model and the model maker! Bravo!! Thanks!
BIG THANK YOU to Wonder World for creating this video and expanding on all the work and effort that went into this Replica! I'm very happy to share this with everyone!! Thank You Scott!
Hey Sean, I am glad you liked it, I know this video won't be to everyones liking as it's fairly long winded, but I really wanted to go into all the detail of the build for true STAR WARS fans. I am happy with the end result, it was a lot of work, but I think it was worth it.
Amazing build! Do you think you would do the interior also ? Or is not possible ?
Amazing work. Very inspiring labor of passion. Thanks for sharing your story. How many people have offered to commission you to build another one? 😁
Holy... You dude are a role model when it comes to this. Spending all the time and love for that. Insane 🖤🖤🖤
A DEATH STAR SIZED THANK YOU to you for making this model.
Jesus, this man has more dedication to SW than Disney ever had.
This is the *biggest and most complex video I have ever made.* I spent 7 x 12 hour days to make this video, 3 days script writing, 2 days narration editing, 2 days video editing. I would like to give a *HUGE THANKYOU!* to Sean Sides from Squaremodels, who went well above and beyond to get me all the extra footage, pictures, intro & outro for this video. Plus a *special thankyou* to Jared from Jared Owens KZhead Channel, for letting me use his 3D model tour footage in this, my first 3 way video collaboration.
You did a great job on it and really enjoyed it especially the parts about the ILM crew coming to see it was so special!
Meanwhile, in the 70's, the guys doing the original model: "lets construct this shit by pouring as much random spare parts we can pick up in that bucket we found on the street this morning. Hurry up ! we only have 2 hours before the shooting".
😂😂😂😂😂😂
oh yeah that would not surprise me, Model builders "just throw anything on there, I mean it's not like anyone will watch this stupid sci fi movie anyway"
@@WonderWorldYTCIve Never heard of Star Wars 🤣
yeah, in fact 70's modelers were in a hurry to get this one,,, still, they were talented, and this video proves it takes a lot of work to just imitate creativity in its pure state,,,
Indeed, it is MUCH, MUCH harder to produce a replica of a model like this... that had to conform only to approximate sketches.
Sean reached Jedi level of modelling with this piece. It's a masterpiece.
I hope it makes it into a movie some day!!! Awesome work!!
I hope it makes it into my living room.....the wife can go pound sand....
As a modeller myself I'll just say (Besides the attention to detail) the weathering is perfection. The weathering in itself is masterful.
Same here....but I use weathering to hide my mistakes....Ha!..."That looks like a good place for some mud."......
Thanks for sharing my video of the Millennium Falcon!
you're welcome Jared, thankyou for collaberation.
The most incredible kit bashing mystery ever
Priceless. Belongs in a museum, under armed guards.
he says in an Indiana Jones voice
As long as it's not Storm Troopers... Those guys can't hit the side of a barn!
Man what a legend I’m so glad they invited him to meet those people that helped work on Star Wars wars probably one of the greatest moments in his life
those Tamiya models blow me away, the amount of model types is crazy
This is by far the best thing I ever have seen about Star Wars here on KZhead. And I tought my Lego Millennium Falcon was a thing to build and place on a stand.... Hats off !
This is the most amazing model of the Falcon! . The effort and techique is unparalleled! Congrats!
One word - Inspiration - And thank you Sean for sharing your efforts with others who respect the art form!
Just discovered this existed, I am in tears at its beauty! So well done. Thank you!
This is truly a stunning piece of work, hope you do some more. Keep up the good work. 👍
Respect to Sean for doing such a great job , and even more for hunting down those Kits that is a job in itself.
Incredible work!! The attention to detail, time, accuracy is just amazing!!
This is truely a work of love. I'm glad this guy made such a perfect replica.
Thanks a bunch Roadkill!! It was a joy to build and complete!
I'm glad there are very dedicated people like this, doing things just for the love of it which gives joy to others. It's an art.
Sean has done an absolutely top job on this labour of love. Well done indeed!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE !! Well done !! 👍
That's love. A pure dedication to such an iconic movie replica. As much as I love this ship, I couldn't have done this.
Absolutely brilliant video and a fantastic job building and painting the kit thanks for posting 🤘
Absolutely stunning, well done sir.
Gee, I thought my millennium falcon when I was a kid look good, this guy is to be commended for his patients and pursuit, he produce something that is truly, truly amazing and equally accurate and detail, the guy just built himself a living/breathing résumé for ILM
Amazing build. Thats a dedicated hobbyist and fan. Well done sir!
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Great job dude!
This is curator level stuff, although much harder because he had to make it all from scratch. Great work. I was obsessed with this ship when I was younger, still am a bit. Thank you very much to all involved...
Wow, what a labor of love for the coolest space ship from my childhood. Thanks for this!
Absolutely amazing work and dedication!!!
That’s actually beautiful. Your dedication is beyond words. Well done mate.
Stunning craftsmanship and dedication to authenticity. Superb!
This is amazing. Excellent work.
This is the coolest thing i have ever seen, just fantastic, younger people might not understand the nostalgia of this, but as a child of the 80s it warms my heart to see it
What you've got there is a work of art. It's amazing and wonderful at the same time. I'd love to hear some of the original modeler's stories about building such a classic space ship and what they had to go through.
Absolutely incredible! I can't fathom the amount of effort it would take to create this masterpiece.
Absolutely amazing !!! Finding , identifying and assembling all of those parts ??? Geeeezz... That's like having a handful of sand , dropping it on a table and then putting each grain back in the same order as when they were in your hand. True model building Jedi .
thanks so much for this share of your prized work of the Falcon
Absolutely AMAZING! WOW!! great job!
Amazing. Can't imagine the self satisfaction after putting all this together.
Wow that’s crazy 150 different models used to make this beast just amazing and it’s awesome how you can see the tan tank hulls and other details
Stunning! Thank you for your hard work, cheers! 😺
Great dedication Sean with fantastic result.
What an incredible work. The time, money, effort and sheer passion put into this project by him is just unbelievable. Hats-off, sir, you are one of a kind fan. Respect.
That's some serious dedication. Looks amazing!
Incredible detail! Bravo!
congrats for this amazing project......outstanding!!!!!
What a Fantastic model... wow. Love from London
Amazing job!!! The best 7 years !!!
Absolutely Wonderful. What a Fantastic job..Just as another mentioned, Hopefully it makes it's way onto the big screen someday. Excellent work, thanks for sharing.
This is simply the greatest Labour of love I’ve ever seen. May the force be with you.
This is amazing and crazy at the same time !!
i am absolutely blown away this is gorgeous
My mind is absolutely blown by this model it's truly amazing.
Wonderful! it is identical to the original. Weathering is also well done. 7 years well spent.
Still my favourite space ship from any sci fi film ever.The first time I saw this in the cinema in 1977 just made me go wow.The battered look,the muck and grime and not to mention the best engine sound from any film ever.
I used to think just like you until I tried to build a model of this ship. At that moment I realized that the outer and inner scales of this ship don't match at all. This let me down.
That is beautiful! What a Masterpiece!
I think if I were Sean meeting the ILM crew, there would have been a puddle of tears of joy on the floor.
I have no words to describe how happy this model makes me. I can't explain why.
Just beautiful, what more could you say.
Love, dedication, and talent.
This dude is a legend in his own right.
I love my Deagostini. This is outstanding 👍
Jaw dropping … that about sums up my reaction . Just absolutely amazing job ! Wow! I don’t even know they took pieces from random model kits … an the attempt it took to track them all down ?! Psh ! That in itself must of been a huge chore ! This needs to be in a vault !
Masterfully done! Wow!
Wonderful work!
I fell in love with the Millennium Falcon watching TESB for my first time in 1983, so that version would be good enough for me.
Amazing work!!!
Awesome attention to detail.
That's really cool!👏👍 May the force be with you😊
Incredible detail and workmanship. It's astounding he managed to identify the parts from the model kits. Attention to detail!
They, not he. They.
I am in awe of this man. Living the dream.
Buying the thousands of accurate 1970's model kits and working on them by artist's hand to create a $20,000 Millennium Falcon?? This is scary! This made my head explode!! 😯 Wow...!
O. M. G. - That is incredible dedication.
Incredible work brother!! I am 3 months into building the Bandai 1/72 perfect grade Millennium Falcon. Cockpit, gun bays, weathering is as close as I can see to screen accurate. It also has neopixel LED'S and sound. 🤘
Most amazing replica I have ever seen!!!! ARE YOU SURE THAT WASN'T THE ONE ACTUALLY USED IN THE MOVIE?!?!?!?!
This is so beautiful!🤗
Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏😎 with patience, time and proper interest you can pretty much accomplish anything no matter what....... You good sir are amazing.... That piece is a work of art.
Thank You Sultan! That is very kind, and appreciated!
Incredible. My favorite version of the Falcon is when it lands in Cloud City. For some reason the landing gear were mind blowing. Probably because they seemed different than SW4, which I didn’t truly figure out until later that the Falcon did have additional landing gear, which for this kid back then and then later on, was really cool!
Whooo...the Millenium Falcon in black looks like the hell of a beast..!! :D:D
Absolutely amazing
Awesome job thanks for building thanks for sharing great video thanks guys
Amazing!!! I'd love to see the Empire version with all it's slight changes to the model and such.
This guy has become a Master Jedi of modeling.
Brilliant video Wonder world! :D
Thanks mate.
The main thing that sets this project apart from others is the complete ABSENCE of creativity. He didn't allow himself any kind of freedom whatsoever. Only by this approach was he able to get the replica to this incredible status. This is one of the videos that best mirrors my type of autism - thanks for shedding light on this incredible build!
Super cool man! That thing is rad AF. You should do your walls/ceiling in fiberoptic stars. It's expensive but looks amazing.
Super impressive!
Wow, what a stupendous commitment. Incredible. Atom for atom it doesn't get any better than that. If I was there I'd just stand there drooling and gawking at it in a catatonic state of envy. Oh well, my Falcon has lights *and* sounds so nyuuh! lol
Incredible!
Absolutely incredible. You're level of dedication is unprecedented. And your skill is enviable.
I built this on the silly video game Ark Survival. It's as close as anyone can get, with the limited building parts available in the game... kzhead.info/sun/psazk5WkgWN-h6M/bejne.html
@@ThirdEchelon111 I did not watch the whole video as the framerate was low and jerky, but I jumped through the video to various location and I can tell you but a lot of work into that , nicely done, pity the video was not better.
@@WonderWorldYTC The amount of structure, even on an Xbox Series X, is tough for even the most powerful PCs to handle.
Wow. That's a museum piece.
Well done sir, well done.
that's true dedication!
You have created an absolute masterpiece its the best I've ever seen out of all hand made models ✨✝️💫
Beautiful!
Stunning work. Thanks for doing and sharing this! MTFBWY.
