That picture above is his modified interior! Cool, huh? <br /><br /> <img src="http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/411/FalconSide.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />Notice that the modified Falcon features TWO gun stations. The interior photo <a href="http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=819139" target="_blank">here</a> shows the interior detail of the gun-station. <br /><br />Probably MOST coolest (I'm droolin') is what he did to the cockpit. In the original Lego cockpit, Chewie "sits" one peg behind Han, and they sit directly on a plate. In this modification, both Chewie & Han sit side by side, and have chairs!

Most of my Lego Sets date back to the late 70s to mid 80s. In those days, you could turn any model into anything else.<br />Nowadays you buy, say, a helicopter and you get hardly any pieces you could use to build something different.<br />As far as the Star Wars models are concerned, the best counter-example is the Star Destroyer #10030.<br />Sure, it seems expensive, yet you get thousands of generic grey pieces which you can use to build anything from the BTTF DeLorean time machine to the Ent NX-01.<br /><br />That's what I call a universally great model - no pun intended... <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
