Not only is this thread one of the great things known to the internet its also very educational.

I've learnt so much, who knew the front sticky out bits of the Millennium Falcon were refered to as 'mandibles'? Now I learnt that that the bottom shootie bit is called the ventral gun-well... though I'm almost sure one of those words is made up!

I'm up to Issue 33 (in Oz).  Thankfully, the build is going well!

How far along is the series now?
