There are some spare technic pins provided - especially the small black ones, but some other types as well, and a lot of tiny parts, but you shouldn't have any plates larger than 1x1 or bricks left over.  A lot of spares of the smaller greebles as well.  

Yeah ive got a lot more than that lol

So I've been working on a mod to cover the exposed Technics elements between the mandibles.  I've essentially copied @bdestena's design for this mod, but have altered it to get around a few issues; I wasn't happy with how far forward it had to be placed in order to fit; further, it also required removing (or at least turning by 180 degrees) the three thin inverted 2x2 hinge plates at the front edge of the upper surface of the lower hull panel that juts out between the mandibles on the underside of the ship.  Looking closely at bdestena's photo it appears they have done a fair bit of modification to the upper side of that panel (the one that 'hangs' directly underneath where the mod sits), and I didn't want to modify the kit that much.  But I love the aesthetic of bdestena's design, and I'm not fussed on installing concussion missiles (as cool as that is - sorry @Lock!) so I wanted mine to fill the full 10 x 4 gap.  Basically all that was required was to increase the size of the cutout along the bottom part of the mod to accomodate the elements connecting the underside panel to the Technics frame, and reorient some of the greebling on the front of the mod.

Here's the completed mod:

Here is the one i would love to be able to solve but running into some road blocks on how to actually accomplish. This variation would allow for the most light transmittance from behind from an LED light pack. If anyone has any tips or tricks on how to solve it, it would be greatly appreciated or just have fun with it. I was trying to utilize part 11203 for one section but not sure its the best part for the job. Definite crits welcome.

Hope you all enjoy my tinkering and please leave whatever feedback you might have. 

Just saw this conversation and doing the modification for my 75912;

Here is my approach and the rendered image:

@Neophyte_brickieGreat mandibles MOC. Do you have a list of the parts or instructions and could you share it ?

Do you have Stud.io? 

You can access the io file at this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jmo64rhea9fahd7/Btwn_mandibles_MF_mod_2.io?dl=0

Is that a new LDD ? I gonna try that. I'm relatively new to this.

Thanks

I'm no expert and am relatively new to this too!  But my understanding is that LDD is now defunct.  I think Stud.io is very similar, in that it is basically a CAD program in which you can create virtual Lego builds.  I think it was developed by the people at Bricklink.com, it's free of charge, reasonably easy to use and works really well.  I'm playing around with it at the moment to see if I can create build instructions, and will post the results if I can figure it out.

Here's a link to the build instructions, which includes a parts list on the last page: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ho49fl22u0evwla/btwn_mandibles_mf_mod_2.pdf?dl=0

I ought to once again give credit to @bdestena - this is really their mod, I've just adapted it slightly.

You’re welcome.  I think my next mod will be @Lock’s cockpit mod.  Fortunately you can import LDD files into Stud.io - so if you download the LDD for Lock’s cockpit mod from his website, you can pull it apart in Stud.io to see exactly how it’s done (I’m in the process of doing that, but it’s a little complicated so it’s taking some time).

[Pepinard]

Yes ! Juste saw this. I will add all those part to my wanted list. Stud.io is quite nice I must said.

Looks great! I like how you've created a 3D effect with the transparent "cheese" slopes. However, I can't see clearly, how the parts are connected... Could you show us more photos, please?

Not quite sure what you are asking for here @Rebel Scum2020, if it's the @ClassicLook engine mod then you can get that on @Lock's website here: http://www.lemonskin.net/io/11310/

If you mean the sound and light kit, then you can get it here: http://www.lightmyfalcon.com/

[Rebel Scum2020]

its the one that you put on drop box, so you can view it in the studio app.

That's the @ClassicLook version, you will have to get the parts from the build list in Stud.io. There aren't that many different parts so it's pretty easy  to do.

It’s a long time I finished modifying my MF, but all the last changes were added to my blog’s page (http://www.lemonskin.net/io/11310/).

Anyway, if you need any help, feel free to ask here. :)

I love the look of this and have spent the afternoon in Stud.io making variations of it and looking at how to chain them together.  The problem is that this is too tall to fit in the available space - you'd need to get rid of the plates on the top and bottom (even then I suspect it might be just slightly too tall) and in doing that you lose all structural integrity :(

Well, since you offered...

The LDD of your cockpit mod on the website doesn't seem to include the little bit of corridor you added behind the seating area (visible in the photos). Can you give me some guidance as to how you achieved that? Is it very difficult (ie does it require any changes to the overlying structure? Thanks!

[Rebel Scum2020]

Question for the group, where can I find a fantastic stand for my falcon, and also displace case, either as a coffee table or just glass case in the US.  Also any recommendations on where I can find star wars mini figs?  Looking to add more to my collection.  Thank you.
