Based on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.

How we estimate times · sources and method

Editorial assessment: A grey Millennium Falcon with characters. Two front prongs frame the centre of the hull. A first build following the instructions, including normal piece finding; an adult may help when needed. Breaks, subsequent play and any alternative models are excluded. For older sets, unnumbered bags or previously mixed pieces may prolong sorting. No verified timed build: indicative values with substantial variation.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

SET THE MOOD

A soundtrack for your build

· Selected for the subject and atmosphere

A musical sense of journeys and imagination for explorers, spacecraft and unusual machines. Keep it quiet when the instructions need your attention.

OUR PICK

On the Inside

John Williams · Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Journeys, cinema and imagination

A build to spread over several sessions: choose the more understated option when you want the instructions to take centre stage. The music does not set your pace.
