harmacy Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Hi all - like so many other crazy people, I am currently building a UCS MF via Bricklink. As others have found, the mast rigging pieces are proving VERY expensive - At last check, the average BL price is sitting at NZD$177.01 - or USD$150 EACH! Yikes. Ive seen other EB members use the black ones, or paint them with varying degrees of success. But I thought Id have a go at using a completely different part altogether - namely part # 6020 (Light Bluish Gray Bar 7 x 3 with Double Clips (Ladder)) This part comes in at an average price of NZD$0.12, and I need 8 of them to complete the look, plus a few small mods to attach them to the rear of the MF. (Total of 96c in NZ, or around 81c US). What do you think? Rear view with 4 'ladders' attached. Slight MOD to the centre clips at the rear - pneumatic T Bars do the trick nicely. Another MOD at the other end - a jumper plate to shift the clip up a little bit, so the ladder fits in nicely. Quote
kibosh Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Ohhhhhh.... I like that very much! Great idea. Quote
pkp Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Wow! Really great idea! I think I will use it for my BL-MF project. Thank you for this one! ;) Quote
rollermonkey Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Zombie thread, but harmacy needs to update it with a finished back end picture! Quote
