Nom Carver Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 The millenium falcon, being such an iconic ship is a must have for any collector but it has always featured the same significant flaws: non retractable landing gear, useless boarding ramp (its not like the figs will actually get in there that way but you know ), and tiny flimsy little quad blasters, so here are my solutions to such issues: 25 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 26 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 20 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 21 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 22 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 23 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 24 by Nom Carver, en Flickr I can go deep into details if I see any interest, by the way, this is the 2004 one.

GuyDudeMan27 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Looks nice. I've just been hit by a huge nostalgia wave Nice solutions to some of the issues. I've always wanted to do something like this with the 2011 version but I've never gotten around to it. Quote
Frostyfeet Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Wish I could add a page as a bookmark or something, so I can come back to this when my mf is done. Quote
Nom Carver Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Neat. How do they operate? 2 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 1 by Nom Carver, en Flickr Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Cool! I actually have the 2004 one. Maybe I should try out something like this! Quote
lostcarpark Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I really like what you've done here. I'm considering the UCS Falcon, and I don't see how you could make the gear retract, but I'd love to have a working access ramp, as it's usually displayed in a in a way that the ramp would likely to be open. Has any done an opening ramp mod for it? James Quote

James I think what could be done with the UCS falcon is to use a very similar mechanism to this one but with double beams like you can see on the landing gear of the new Tydirium set, regarding to the boarding ramp, it shouldn't be too hard because its supposed to stand taller than this one so that you would only have to place a swiveling long plate with a little locking mechanism (the problem with most MFs is that the docking ring blocks the way in because the falcon stands too low), but you could have a better answer at the general lego questions topic.
