No matter how much advance groundwork you have done, the fitting is a bit of a struggle so be prepared to accept the reality that some re-assembly of the UCS Millennium Falcon will be required. Having the instructions to hand at the end of the build will take the stress out of any final touch-ups. The minifig stand also has some cool details. One of these details is the Episode designation on both sides. On the left there's Episode 4, 5 and 6, while the rights shows Episode 7 and 8. Another nice detail is the placement of the studs, slightly at an angle, resulting in the minifigs facing the center. Minimal parts are used while maintaining a well balanced and steady structure. The stand could even be used as handles if you want to “fly” the sets around. Two plates will connect the left side and the right side and give the stand its rigidity. The image below also shows the separate minifig stand, which fits nicely into the main stand.

Because of the lowered slope, you can still open the falcon, and most play features are easy to access including the cannon underneath. Your LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon is an icon, the centrepiece of every epic space battle. Now you can show it off in a whole new way with our vertical display case designed specifically for the 75192 or 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon! This very large acrylic display case is designed to be used with our 2 in 1 acrylic display stand in a vertical position (optional) or the MOC Efferman's vertical stand (not included) . Angled at a 70 degree angle, you can display your LEGO® Millennium Falcon in tighter spaces whilst also being able to appreciate the wonderful details across the top of the ship. Michael explains that when the first UCS Millennium Falcon (10179) was released in 2007 "was too expensive for me at his release" but when the recent incarnation came out he saved up and treated himself. After completing the build he realised "it is a huge thing and hard to display without a special acrylic box or table", so he decided that to put his Technic design and building skill to good use.

It is possible to move the model on the stand, but you need to make sure to hold the two sides of the stand. Okay, so both stands are very nice products, but what about the price?! Of course, as an owner of this great set you will probably be interested in a quality stand, but will it break the bank? Well, it doesn't...in my humble opinion. Aside from a brief dip into Technics in the early 80s, plus being the proud owner of a BMW R 1200 GSA set, I have pretty limited experience of dedicated Technic construction. If you're like me you needn't be put off because the build is simplicity in itself and Efferman's Vertical Stand will only take you a couple of hours to put together. There are a number of tutorials, like the one below, available on Youtube to help if you want to have a virtual toolbox talk before you start.

The stand is easy to assemble and comes with all the necessary hardware to securely attach the Millennium Falcon to the stand. It has a sleek, modern design that complements the LEGO model perfectly, with a sturdy base and clear support arms that hold the model securely in place. The top of the angled stems have small hooks for added support, holding the Falcon firmly in place. There's only one flaw in the design - it's noticeable in the instructions at step 13 because the software used to create the stand's manual deemed it an illegal connection, and it puts an uncharacteristic amount of strain on the frame. When assembling the stand it feels like the lift arms are going to snap under the force they are put under to make the connection. And though it seems there is some subtle curvature that probably leaves the designers at LEGO wincing, trust the design as it all settles outand you end up with a perfectly square and symmetrical stand.Assembling the stand is pretty straightforward, although you will need to apply some pressure to fit the parts together. This isn't a bad thing, since friction is all that keeps the stand together, so you don't want the parts to slide in and out easily. Efferman's own advice is to build the UCS Millennium Falcon onto the stand, rather than mount a completed build on it. He says that "hte perfect situation for mount is when the floor plates on the underside are assembled. After this there is easy access to the underside during building." For the Sets: Switch two 1x2 plates (Trans-clear) to another two landing gears wherever they are placed on the top of the stand. The premium acrylic add on contains embedded studs to firmly hold your Minifigures and LEGO® information plaque in place in front of the vehicle.

Showcase and enhance your iconic LEGO® Star Wars™ Millennium Falcon with our bespoke display stand. The LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon 75192 Display Stand is a custom-made stand designed specifically for the LEGO Millennium Falcon 75192 set. It is a high-quality, clear acrylic stand that offers a safe and secure way to display your LEGO Millennium Falcon model. Does this setup look cool or what?! Granted, you still need a lot of space, but it's mostly vertical space, which allows you to more easily place it somewhere on a cupboard or on a sidetable in the living room. I'm sure your partner (if applicable) will be psyched to have this bad boy in the living room. I know @Kitty (my wife) is!

The two sides below show the angle at which the model will be positioned. The angle is roughly 60 degrees.
