[WIP]Landing gear for millennium falcon(75257)

[Third Navigator]

Hi guys!

I am one who always love spaceship. and This is my first topic in star wars forum.

Recently I found the set 75257 without minifigures for a resonable price in a used market, so I bought it because I am a big fan of Star wars series.

 

Anyway, as all you know, TLC contiues to release this ship, and we are happy to find lots of improvement and more details that are getting better from new sets.

But the bottom parts(from 4504 to recent sets), including landing gears, have been weakness so far. and this is why I started this WIP.

 

Belows are more real-looks foldable 7 landing gears for minifig-size falcon 75257

 

And Soon I will build MOD of 75257 made by someone in rebrickable(Sorry I have no idea about a regulation of this kind of mention.) and combine these 2 creations.

Nice looking legs. Please can you show us a plan view of the underside? I’d like to see how you mounted the centre landing gear. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

And these are under plan of my falcon.

Sadly gun in bottom was excluded because I need to support the hull with one hand while I activate all landing gears with another hand.

 

 

 

Thanks to bracket parts, Length of centre landing gear mathmetically correspnds to the length of others regardless of where it is located.

And also the hinged outer-surface allows for a small difference, and it does not interfere with the gear below it, no matter where it leans.

Thanks for comment!

 

But sometimes it looks "Fat falcon" when I unactivated landing gear.
