rollermonkey Posted August 11, 2014 I see two copies of the same picture... Appears that it might be landing gear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomers Posted August 11, 2014 You had me up until the point you say you built the 10179 in 4 hours. You know that translates to 1 part every 3 seconds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Sinner Posted August 11, 2014 I would like to see someone build a Falcon that big. Good luck with this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobot Posted August 11, 2014 Hi vc59755, as you've already started a thread for this project I've merged them both together They're certainly very large feet, but have you considered the dimensions of the actual ship (e.g. will they be strong enough to support the total weight?). Good luck with the project, I look forward to seeing your progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vc59755 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) the hard part any one know an easy way to do this let me know open to all options Edited August 11, 2014 by vc59755 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzalirk Posted August 11, 2014 Nice landing gear, I can't wait to see what it'll look like on the Millennium Falcon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vc59755 Posted August 12, 2014 any ideas o this one people I ldd was hard anuff to get it to sit flat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mechamike Posted August 12, 2014 Well Im amazed that You manged to build the 10179 in only 4 hours .. but beside that, I think You should start with designing the inner frame and the outline of the hull before going for details like the landing gears. Is Your plan to build this in real bricks or is it going to be a LDD only model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rollermonkey Posted August 14, 2014 No way that passageway holds up under its own weight. Sorry. As cool as it would be to do an interior on this, you aren't going to be able to. You need to start framing the interior to actually hold the shape. You should look at successful extra-large scale projects and see how they approach them. Learn from the lessons of those who have gone before you. That massive Star Destroyer that was making the rounds earlier this summer would be a good place to start.

Rodion Posted August 15, 2014 Although I don't think a Falcon this size is feasible, if you really want to give it a try I would definitely start with the internal framework and then work my way out - there's no point in designing landing gear if you don't know whether they will hold the immense weight of the ship.

Lind Whisperer Posted August 15, 2014 I do like what you're doing, although I agree with the others. Try building the framework first, then the paneling around it. It's not as fun as doing the details first, I know - but it will save you future headaches. Also foot-aches, from dropping it on your feet on the way to Brickworld. And then, even more headaches as you rebuild it. Have you ever thought of using constraction figures for this? It seems like that's about the size you're going for.

vc59755 Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) so all know I have frame built I just have not posted it yet and yes I have a metal frame built when I get to sub frame folder I will post I have over 500 pic to go though and taking the best of these I will post sorry my ocd kicking in Edited August 16, 2014 by vc59755 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavegod Posted August 16, 2014 Very impressive. How big will this be when finished? You are best building the external features first then fitting a frame inside! Are you going to build in real bricks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
