Well, the Millenium Falcon model on my page is built exactly to minifig

That's very cool! I like the control station in the lounge. I wish you had a
round 4x4 plate for the holo-chess table. Chewie is an interesting
improvisation too.

Okay, now for the hard part: how many pieces is it? :)

I really wish I knew.  Since I never plan on taking it apart, I'll probably
never know, either.  As for modeling it in LDraw...I don't think so.  We're
certainly talking about thousands of pieces here.

would the 4 x 4 round with holes from the y-wing engines work?

for the cockpit of a falcon. how about using the cockpit pieces from the
aquanaut subs.
they look close and they fit with the octogonal walls.

or TLG could make something colse to those that is more like the real MF.

I used an old 4x4 turntable (without the 4x4 bottom plate) with a grid of blue
and white 1x1 tiles on top.  So far it's the closest, I've come up with.

That's an interesting idea Ben... it almost sounds like they could eat chinese
food on the Falcon now that the entire table rotates! :)

I thought about that last night when I was taking apart my Y-wing. It could
work, but anything 1 brick high is kinda thick for a table in minifig scale.
Yet, it might be better to use a 4x4 disc because I don't recall that any of
those old 4x4 plateless turntables were made in grey (though I could be wrong).
I've only seen them in white, black and red.

More likely, the round disk with cross-axle hole from CyberSlam (and
others).

What about using one of those Throwbot disc things.  Are they Lego compatable
or just useless?

Utterly, completely useless! No Lego compatibility. Does anyone want
some?
