Shadow_brick Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) So any ideas on how to improve the tunnel and cockpit on the old one? I sadly don’t have $800 to shell out:( so I’m modding my 10179, so what I’m looking for is a way to remove half of it to exspose the interior and have no big gaps in between panels. Thanks:) Edited October 11, 2017 by Shadow_brick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All in the Reflexes Posted October 11, 2017 Not sure at the moment but the tumbling prices of 10179 mean i might get one and mod it heavily to look like the new one, so this idea interests me greatly :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choops1 Posted October 11, 2017 I want to add the interior room also to mine. The first step would be to narrow the center framework. It is currently 8 studs across and can be brought down to 2 studs or even offset toward the cockpit side to give room for a room. Then the bottom structure would need to be modified because the rooms are sunk down into them. fixing gaps on the falcon is a trial and error thing adding plates where you think you can. Rounding the top turret is also needed in my opinion. However I do prefer the brick built cockpit over the molded piece. Feels more lego to me. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Top turret is a major problem on 10179... most likely I’ll make the new one. There’s no way in hell im messing with the frame:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
