As if this hasn't been hashed enough already, here is some more info for everyone. Given you are tyring to build a Lego Millennium Falcon in 'minifig' scale.

(...) Hehe.. That's funny. But it's also weird. I remember a friend of mine, who has talent for drawing, seriously depicting the MF some years ago, and I thought his picture of it looked like a hamburger and had to ask him what it was. That little (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It seems that common items are often inspiration for SW ships' appearances or sounds--the MF's engine sound eluded Lucas and Co. until they were staying in a no-tell motel one night and the air conditioner malfunctioned--making the perfect (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I thought the scale looked pretty good! Taking a minifig's footprint to be equivalent to about a foot in real life (~1/3 meter), the models are more or less scale to the minifigs as well as being scale to each other! --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o (...)
