My current project. The instructions are A4, for size reference, the box has over 5,000 pieces in it!

Launch tower
I'm interested in purchasing the launch tower mentioned earlier in this thread - does anyone have any info/experience on these??
I assume they are not a LEGO branded product?.
Thanks,
Graeme J.

I did a search for one after looking at the link in the thread Graeme; You are correct, they are not a Lego branded product. I found one on eBay Australia @ $395...

I decided I would just stand it on it's engines once I build it... after I get it for Christmas... I'd really, really love the launch tower but... not at that price...

Cheers

At the bottom of the launch tower page in the comments section there's a comment that the maker is "obviously a scam". May be worth more research before buying

Beautifully designed model aren’t they, I put mine together earlier this year after seeing another post on the forum, still have the Lunar Lander kit waiting for assembly.

An update regarding the launch tower-my son unsuccessfully tried to order one before Xmas via an Aliexpress advertiser. Despite repeated requests for dispatch/shipping details, all that was received were delay excuses. Fortunately he was able to cancel and receive a refund before the buyer protection period expired.

Put mine together after Christmas, took me a little under a week & that was trying to show restraint... it was like being a little kid all over again..

What an awesome model, love it...

Now has pride of place on my desk in the study...

Picture is just after completion of build on the dining table...

Stoked with it...

Now if I can just find $1200 for the Millenium Falcon & about $50,000 for an extra room to house it in...

Congratulations!
Looks Great!
Now you need a display cabinet.
(Like this one for $99 from IKEA)

Then you'll probably want another few models to occupy the empty shelves...
and so it goes.

Not long ago I did finish the Millennium Falcon, now that is big, some 7541 pieces, awesome built a bit pricey though at about $1300.00 from Toy World Rockhampton.

Well done, looks great!

I'll see your one metre long model and raise you this one by my buddy "The Brickman" it's a 6 metre tall 120,000 brick Lego model, currently in the Guinness book of records

Ryan has since gone on to build an even taller rocket, a 7.5 m tall SLS model, with 450, 000 bricks!
