The countdown now has really started, 11 kgs to go. To be honest I was surprised with the amount of weight I had lost this month because I have spent quite some time in the gym. 11kgs to go in just 7 months losing 64kgs I hopefully should be at my target weight around November. My training regime seems to have worked quite well for me but it is the people around me supporting me, cheering me on, liking my facebook posts ( lol ) who have really helped me along to get where I almost am.

Sharon had the brilliant idea to get some of the ships to hover and be on angles etc. Anyway, I will let you have a look for yourself :)

Day 2 brings us the main shape of the Falcon, the little details on the inside are wonderful, the famous chessboard corner is even there.
There is the main panel for the controls of the core and hyperdrive systems
The iconic shape of the side of the Falcon
Here is the famous chessboard corner I was talking about
It is amazing how they come up with the ways of actually achieving the shape
Everything is there, the radar dish, the turret on the top and on the bottom
Here is the Falcon with the minifigures it comes with
Top view so you can see all the little details they have put into the Falcon
All in all, it was a great build and great fun to do. Now just to wait for my birthday and... The Death Star !! I cannot wait !

Once that is done, the little details on the inside are being added, things like the chess table where Chewbacca is about to rip C-3PO's arm off and the hyperdrive and main control centre for the Falcon
To be continued tomorrow when we build some more but in the meantime, here are the manuals :)
What a great set this is, the plethora of minifigures and ingenious ideas on how to make this set look the part are amazing.
From the back when the build is finished, it looks like how you see it in the movie from a distance.
The set comes with Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Bib Fortuna a Gamorrean Guard, Oola, Han Solo, Princess Leia in Boushh outfit, Chewbacca and B'omarr Monk.
As a set this gives great value for money, it is not a difficult build but it is a fun build with the trapdoor, the way the main door gets locked into position and the overall look of the whole thing, it really captures the feel of the movies' idea of the throne room.

Ok, had some fun tonight building a few of the smaller sets, there is the Ewok Attack set with some great mini-figures and solutions to make this a set that not only looks really nice and finished but has some activities to it as well.
Second up was the Wampa Cave, this set has two seperate themes to it, the cave and the speeder. There is room for a second pilot in the speeder but they did not include that:(
Last but not least the infamous Y-Wing, it has some nice mini-figures with it and the build is quite easy but fun enough to have it become quite the achievement for when you finish this set,
