Champion builders and father and son duo Dan and Chris Steininger were on hand to help over 2000 Aussies put the ships together.

“Usually models the size of the Millennium Falcon can take more than a week to build and it was thanks to the Aussie fans that we were able to build a model of this size in such a short time," Dan says. "This model was ground-breaking for LEGO because of the way it stretches out wide. Normally when we build big LEGO builds they stand tall, so this was both an exciting and challenging experience for Chris and myself."
