Remember the first time you saw Star Wars and wished you could have a full-scale Millennium Falcon replica to play around in? Chris Lee is taking that dream and making it a reality.
Sure, some people might call him crazy for attempting to actually reconstruct the Millennium Falcon from scratch (complete with paint job and correctly scaled interior,) but there are many others who would have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for this man.
Chris has already built one of the exterior quad-guns used to blast pursuing tie fighters into space dust, and he's close to completing the main cockpit console. Although it might not seem like much right now, he knows he's got a lot of work ahead of him and has planned this to be a five to seven year project.
Even if it can't make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, a full-size Millennium Falcon replica would definitely make for a pretty sweet club house.
