Star Wars Fans Plan Full-Size Millennium Falcon Replica
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports on a fan-run project to build a full-scale replica of Han Solo's Millennium Falcon. The ship, 31 feet tall, 114 feet long, and 81.5 feet wide at its widest point, will be built on a plot of land in Tennessee. Since this project is obviously too big for any one fan, or even a small group, they're going to crowdsource some of the construction. Their website has continual updates about various parts of the build, with many, many pictures. For example, here are a couple shots of the Quad guns and cockpit console. Project leader Chris Lee says he bought the land in Tennessee, 88 acres, for this purpose. He says he'd like to 'develop it into more of a creative retreat, like a Maker camp ... where a school could send kids.' The Force is strong with this one!"

You'd be surprised to learn what actual Hollywood props are made of. Also, "What a piece of junk!"
even better it can't be to scale as the one used in the movies couldn't fit human's inside from the exterior shots, So straight up they will have to alter plans somewhere.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
