Last weekend Jason Hurst announced on his Instagram page that he was going to auction off a prototype Millennium Falcon plaque. It’s made from cut steel on cherry wood and It’s a nice piece. After posting and falling in love with his awesome steel Millennium Falcon model last year I had to bid.

At 11″ by 20.5″, it’s quite a size. I bid high straight away and I must apologise to those that were also bidding, as I may have ruined the experience for them. That most certainly wasn’t my intention.

There are some rough edges to work out, such as the outline just above the cockpit, but Jason says that this is a prototype and he’s ironing out the kinks in his template. Still, a nice first daft in my opinion.

Shipping’s going to be expensive.
