This is one of the most amazing Millennium Falcon models, especially considering its very affordable price. I spent several days building it and, although it was an incredible experience, it was also quite a challenging task. I hadn’t built anything from UGEARS before, so I made a few mistakes along the way.

If this is your first experience with this type of model, I would recommend starting with something easier. In general, sandpaper and a candle are essential and should be used every time you have trouble fitting the parts together. Unfortunately, I pressed too hard at times and ended up breaking a few pieces. I must have also done something wrong at the beginning, because the movable parts don’t work as smoothly as shown in the videos and feel a bit stiff.

Despite these issues, I managed to complete the model and it looks fantastic! It’s beautiful, and I’m really proud that I built it myself ✨

Wonderful precision made puzzle rubber band gun. Took about two hours to assemble for me.

Very nice experiece! Legendary model.
Sadly I broke the thin back hood ☹️. It was a very delicate process to install it and it cracked while bowing… is there a possibility to achieve a replacement hood?

Offert à mon mari pour Noël. Il est ravi et aime la réalisation du vaisseau très proche de l’original.

Cela a été un plaisir de construire cette horloge !!! 🤩🤩🤩
Il n’y a pas beaucoup de réglages requis pour qu’elle fonctionne, je l’adore 😍.
Pouvez-vous créer un nouveau modèle d’horloge car je les aies toutes…😅😅😅. Cela pourrait être super d’avoir une horloge qui sonne une fois toutes les heures.

J'ai aimé le montage, qui se fait relativement facilement. Mais grosse déception, après avoir tourné une bonne quarantaine de tours, le mécanisme s'est bloqué et un axe double a cassé. Quelle déception ! Je ne recommande pas... Vraiment très déçu...

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the parts in board one were very hard to remove. I had to cut the parts out and then sand and wax each part. One part took me 5 minutes to put on. When I finished the gun it operated fantastic: shooting 5 rubber bands without a problem. Just remember: WAX, WAX, WAX!

A very fun project

This model is fantastic. I've made loads of UGears kits and have used them in the classroom for hobby groups. I also like making them myself for pleasure. The older ones were held together with toothpicks and, not having made one for a while, I thought I'd re-introduce myself with a more advanced assembly and was pleased to discover this is all click together parts. UGears are super accurate and if you carefully follow the instructions are straightforward and entertaining. Lots of concentration needed but it all fits together perfectly. Obviously UGears are getting better over time and this Endurance Racer is complex and detailed reminding me of a wooden version of a well known maker of plastic kits from Denmark! In some ways I found this more satisfying and the overall look of the finished kit is genuinely stunning. I think UGears should build on the success of this kit and make a range of similar sports supercars and vehicles. Well done and support for Ukraine!

Beautiful. Pieces fit together beautifully. Instructions clear. Such a clever mechanism. Just the right amount of challenge to assemble - took us a couple of hours.

Malgré le livret fourni je suis bloqué. Je suis à la page 41 figure 7 et 8 incompréhensibles. Page 16 figure 12 : tel que montré et monté le tambour est bien bloqué. Il est indispensable d'agrandir le trou ! J'ai dû tout démonter plus loin et des deux côtés. Page 25 figure 6 : avec deux pièces 77 le fil glisse hors du tambour, heureusement il y a le 77+pour une troisième rondelle. En plus pour que le fil ne glisse pas entre les rondelles il faut les coller ! Je suis à mon cinquième puzzle 3D Ugears. Jusque là ça a été du pur bonheur. Mais celui-ci me laisse un peu sur ma faim. Ugears si vous me lisez une aide est bienvenue pour passer à la suite après page 41. Le modèle est vraiment beau et j'aimerais arriver à le terminer. Bien à vous. Benoît

It was a lot of fun a great little unit. Keep your keepsake in it. The first thing I ever did it opened up.

Really fun build! Degree of detail is simply amazing. Hyperdrive is visually very cool. Most artistic of ugears models to date. Mechanicals are ok, although, let's face it, how many moving parts would a starship have? Well done.

I'm very satisfied with the entire assembly process and the final result, and I really enjoyed it as well! Highly recommended! And also looking forward to the next product!
Small suggestions:
1. It is hoped that the assembly positioning/limiting of the acrylic glass can be improved;
2. It is hoped that auxiliary tools for part removal and interference-fit assembly can be added, to avoid plywood delamination and leaving press marks.
Thank you for your hard work!

I love this little machine.Typical UGears quality, which comes in handy when painting. The build was a good one. The fit was excellent, the tolerances were tight, and the gears meshed nicely. It only toom a handfull of runs to break it in enough to get all the moving parts doing their thing.
The paints I use are craft store acrylic metallics, Vallejo metals and airs. Everything is hand painted on the sheet, with edges done before assembly. Paint does weaken the pieces, so I sand a bit oof the edges of each little peg so they don't require as much force. Even a light layer of paint can create a snug fit after that.

For now it's not built it's a christmas present so i will no review the quality, but the delivery was very bad , the delivery person just put it in front of our door because we were not there during the delivery without asking us where to put it or to come back another day . The carton box was a little damaged by the rain so i'll hope the rest is okay. But i was really disapointed about the delivery .

I enjoyed putting it together, It works good, Luv the way it looks.

Beautiful, entertaining and very well done

First of all: Slava Ukrainie.
I bought this set a while ago, sadly my mail review does not work. Anyway, building this model was HUGHE fun. Do NOT expect the set to run free of issues, this is WOOD. I had a piece of wax from a chinese model which helped a lot. Don't know wether a real candle would have worked as well. The most fun for me as a kind of an engineer was the actual gear, I rebuild it five times so it was correctly assembled and fit, also in the frame.
To bad it's done. A special gimmik is the gear moving the top doors of the tender.
Using tooth picks is a great idea, opended my mind for simple solutions. If one breaks (or even more) you find some in your kitchen in a drawer. IF you inserted some wrongly, yu can use a dremel or proxon with a 2mm drill to oben the connection.
I also like that there are some replacment parts.
Tips; use wax when installing tooth picks on the picks.
Heat the wax with a ligher, especially with the gear wheels. it'll cover the wood and then add some more.
If a tooth pick does not fit, try another one, there is quite some tolerance to the diameter of such material. eventually you'll find one that prvides a good fit and is not too tight. Do NOT use force! A small pair of pliers helps.
To UGears:
Check your assembly manual, some numbers (one or two) are not correct.
Have it checked for usability/comprehensiveness. At some (rare occasions) I had difficulties to follow the instructions.
Add a piece of wax.

great work, good prescision, great fun.
Too bad it 's done.. I think I will got for the marble towers next

Have look at

Bit disapponted - the rubber bands are hard to assemble as they get all bunched up and then unwieldy. Part #3 is weak, mine broke twice. Delays in getting replies maybe because of Xgiving holiday?

UGears is my favorite kit company. I have dozens of finished kits on display. This one was an easy one I picked up to fill some spare time.
Well, by the time I opened it up, I had decided to make it far more challenging.
Had I left it alone and assembled it as designed, this would have been done in an hour or two, with no complaints about the typically high quality materials.
Turns out, however, that carving every scale and feature on the dragon and the box with a dremel requires extra patience! In the end, I was able to stretch this project out over 5 weeks. Oh but it was worth it!

Some problems with this model:
1.There was no wax included.
2.Some strings were missing.
3.There were some mistakes in the instructions (for example, the incorrect number of pieces).
4.It was hard to extract the parts from the plate.
5.It was physically more difficult to assemble the mechanism.
6.Using toothpicks as connectors turned out to be a bad idea.
7. Joins is too tired. That's why the toothpicks breaks.

Some advantages of this model:
1.It looks cool.
2.It can move, although not very well.
3.It was interesting to build. For example, the first model I assembled was a cash register — it was more interesting and physically easier.

bonjour tout comme le falcon le starfighter s assemble très bien et assez facilement c est un réel plaisir et que dire du choix des couleurs elle sont magnifiques moi qui peint mes maquettes habituellement j aurais eu du mal a choisir.
et vivement les prochaines assemblages.
cordialement.

A few things: 1. It's supposed to move but even after thoroughly checking and following instructions to a T it doesn't budge. 2. It says no glue needed but I had to glue the horns so they would stop falling off. 3. The wooden hook tool broke when using it to stretch rubber bands as instructions stated. 4. The stand it comes with that you put together keeps falling back from the model's weight and not holding it off the table. All that said, it was fun to build and looks great. I like that it came with line to hang it from my ceiling.

Excellent detaill, easy assembly. The frame on the one I built is now painted in gunmetalmetallic gray. It will be one part of a promotional display for the 2026 Watch City Steampunk Festivaal.
