What *I* did was tell my entire family to chip in collectively and get me just one gift for my birthday: the Fine Molds Falcon.
It's a friggin' beast of a kit. The detail is astounding but there's a couple of different parts that are so tiny, it'll terrify you trying to get them off the sprue.
Took me about nine days to put the monster together last fall but now I'm waiting for winter to finally disappear so I can fire up my new airbrush setup. As of now, it's been sitting for months with just a black primer coat on it. Like a 'Stealth Falcon'.
Bottom line: Even if you have to beg, you need to own this kit.
Yeah, love that kit. It's awesome even to just look at the unbuilt kit.
There's people that make garage kits
There's a 1:350 scale Blockade Runner available on Starship Modeler. There's another guy who was selling a larger scale version, but I doubt he's doing runs anymore.
There's been some pretty fantastic garage kits out there--like the Anigrand Star Destroyer

You have no idea. Seriously.
There's over 900 pieces to the kit and the top shell is entirely smooth.
If I had to guess, I'd say about *400* of them are just for the 'pie' section where the exhaust ports are. I &@#% you not. Every bit of that section has its own part. That section alone took about three of the nine days.
Good thing I'm already bald. I'd have gone grey.

I picked up a lighting kit for it but it's a lot more do-it-yourself than I expected so I'll need some help from a couple of 'electronic genius' buddies of mine when I'm ready to get back to work on this bad boy.
Snow's almost gone. Just need the weather to dry up and I'll be good to go.

cool.. keep me/us updated on that one
I can help now...
That's the ERTL kit on the right. Once I get my airbrushing 'skillz' back, I'll be using it to test painting tricks for the Fine Molds version.
I can completely remove the top half from the bottom half and there's still no visible break line.
And now for the scary stuff...
Before:
After:
And now the really scary stuff....
That little grey speck between the penny and the mandible? That's a part.
And to further emphasize the point...
Parts 27-29 will scare the living hell out of you trying to free them from the sprue. Drop any of them and they're gone forever.
Drooling yet?
hoolllyyy mollly... thats crazy !!! man... ice skating ont he top part before the parts go on right ??
wow.. these parts are not just small.. they are mega tiny..
yeah this thing does not a look like a 2 week project !!
