Beautiful! :)

I agree, nice work man!

[Brickdad]

I have a solution for excluding the gap between engine and bottom plates! But I don't know how to attach more than one image. How do I do that?

[Brickdad]

Ok, I think I have it 🤔

This is how the bottom plate looked. I had already got rid of the hinges but still wasn't right

So, I went ahead and stripped all the red 2x4 away. This is how the middle panel looks. The connectors were moved down one stud.

On the back I added 3x2 plates to connect the panels together.

You're going to need a couple of these modified plates

And add them here, to that black technic frame.

I added a couple of 3x2 plates to the underside for strength.

Now time to attach the bottom plate to those clips and after that is done carefully push the plate from the underside to attach to those modified plates (this keeps it flush and straight).

After this add some plates to that black technic frame to enable the attachment of @ClassicLook engine mod.

Now when you add the engine mod you can see it is flush with that baseplate. I didn't have enough 1x2 light greyish blue plates but you would add these all along the bottom and the engine mod will sit perfect 👌🏼

Hi there.
I just have acquired the MF and the stand.
Do you think i can put  the MF on the stand as soon as i can during the building (so just after hading the 4 rooms on the main structure) and continue the construction with it on the stand? Or this would make the next steps of building to difficult?
Because i know it's a bit touchy to put it on the stand when it is fully build

PS: excuse me for my bad english writting

I'm not sure it would be very comfortable to build it while on the stand, because there are parts of the construction that have to be placed below. My suggestion is to build it in the normal way and have someone helping you later to place it on the stand.

Nice solution @Brickdad :)

[Brickdad]

Thanks Lock. Several things bothered me about this build but that sag was the biggest disappointment. Can't remember off-hand who I saw in this thread had flattened theirs but was determined to have no gaps there.

While I'm at it, can I just say I love all the mods you made to yours. I will be replicating your rear panel solution when I get to that. This whole thread is a gold mine and full of wonderful ideas and inspiration.

Maybe I did in one of my mods, but a lot of time passed and honestly I can't remember. :)

Thx @Lock 

I'll build it entierly so before puting it on his stand 😊

I cannot remember who asked about changing vents rotation angle.

At beginning the Lego solution didn't bother me but, since I almost finished all my mods, today I decided to give it a try and this is the result:

The difficult part was modifying the baseplates so the vents didn't raise by one plate (only the top sides ones, the lower one don't have this problem) and I think the result is more than acceptable.

The best thing was I didn't have to apply any trick, every angle can be achieved with regular connections:

The rotating element isn't mandatory but it adds up to stability.

If you're interested in the LDD project you can find it here (among all my other mods): http://www.lemonskin.net/io/11310#ventole 

Question for @Lock, I'm not at this section in my build progress yet but just wondered if any extra pieces were needed to be bought to enable this mod? Want the right panels to mirror the left so I can show that other room as well as correctly angle the vents. Thanks!

So many years passed but yes, for sure I needed to use extra pieces, only I cannot remember witch ones.

I’ve made the panels mod, so to show the extra new room, you can download the LDD/Stud.io file here:

Hi Lock, thanks for quick response. Ok, will cross reference the LDD with what the set has. Thanks!

It could be, but I’m not sure as I’m on mobile and can’t check, I also included a list of extra pieces in the file (like pink colored). Sometimes I did, sometimes not (since the official death of LDD I didn’t project mods anymore). Try opening it and see if there is extra stuff in it.

Typos correction. :)

I'm essentially just mirroring the left hand side I suppose (albeit with some exterior panelling and greebling differences).

Things of note about this model:

• meant for the Brickvault MF by Marshal Banana but the LEGO 10179 has docking rings of 12 studs wide so I'm sure some smart people here can adapt it for the official 75192 or 10179 :)
• based on

1. said MB's version (although really just the wheel/tire, chain linker thingies, technic bricks and the flexible tube (of which I'm unsure if it is needed at all)
2. some other variants I found around the internet (no idea which ones exactly, I looked at so much it's all a blur)
3. my own interpretation of earlier posted picture

• has not been built with real bricks yet
• don't mind the clipping of the tube, flexible tubing is difficult to get right in Studio 2.0
• you might have to fiddle with (or even clip) the claw that connects the tube ends. I'm thinking of using a LEGO 3mm rigid tube cut to 1L

edit:
I'm on v2 now, using a bush instead of nothing (v1.1), instead of a 2x2 plate (v1) behind the 8x8 plate
This thing really needs to be built but tbh. the whole MF will take me years to collect all bricks for, with my monthly budget...

Nice one @jeroennieuw , will check that out when I get to the docking pods of my build. Will be interested to see when you build yours. Hopefully it scales down correctly for my UCS MF.

Here's another idea I've been working on for the docking rings.  The idea developed from the docking rings on Flickr user Flutdisque's Millennium Falcon moc that I posted about previously, and the initial concepts based upon it by @Vouatch.  It utilises the large Technic chain link part (Bricklink part no. bb0076 - which seems to have ceased production in 1981!)  I figured out a way to make the wall of the docking ring sloped, and have incorporated my design for the internal detail based on four 4x4 round corner plates, with some additional tweaks.  The photos are all Studio renders, as I don't actually have the parts to build it!  I've struck a problem with it that I can't seem to solve, and am hoping you creative people might have some ideas!

First, the details of the outer wall construction:

Complete with internal structure:

And of course the obligatory comparison shot:

This is what the underside looks like:

which is where the problem arises.  The connection to the ship is via the internal structure, but I can't figure out how to connect the outer structure to the internals.  I thought I had an obvious solution, replacing a couple of the 1x2 tiles with 1x2 - 2x2 brackets, like so:

New_Docking_ring_v2_3 by Robert O'Sullivan, on Flickr

but you will see the problem once the 4x4 round corner plates (or in this case, 4x8 round corner double plates) are added:

Anyway, happy for any and all thoughts and suggestions, and of course feel free to use the designs if you want.

I am just wondering if you were able to complete your design. I am a bit late to the party and just starting the UCS Falcon 75192. Would you have a parts list and/or LDD file?

To @Schneeds really like you Mandible mods any instructions on those. Am modifying mine a lot to and would like to add your idea. Could probably reverse engineer it but instructions would save me the head hache..lol

 

This is beautiful. Do you happen to have parts list and/or instructions?

The Main Hold is the most important part of the Falcon in my opinion. In my Mod I made here the most Addittions/Modification in comparison to Jealon Edwards great Interior:

 

- Addition of two doorway arches.

- Access to the Circuitry Bay

- Computerstation and Dejarik Table from the UCS-Falcon

- Adding the Bunk above the booth

- Adding of some technikal Structures on the walls

- Some changes in the floor and internal structure

- Easter Egg!: Removable Wall with small Computer station to switch between Ep V and Ep VII versions of the falcon.

- Secret working "Door" to the front rooms of the Falcon

 

I am new to the forum. Can you please repost your pics?

I've done some more playing around in Stud.io, and can confirm that the docking ring design I came up with just fits on the docking ring base, but in all honesty I think it will look too big.  Certainly requires replacement of the modified bricks with clips, as there is no room for the 4 hose nozzles around the outside of the ring:

Untitled by Robert O'Sullivan, on Flickr

In the above photo I've tried to make the base plate roughly to the same scale as in the model, and you can see the docking ring is just enormous in comparison.

So I've redesigned the same concept as an 8-sided, rather than 10-sided, structure, which required reworking the internals as well:

Untitled by Robert O'Sullivan, on Flickr

This brings the outer diameter of the docking ring down to approximately that of the Marshal Banana solution, which is only slightly larger than the stock standard docking ring on the original set.  The drawback of the design is that the gaps between the wedge plates in the docking ring wall are now larger, and the overall structure looks less round.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the Studio file for the 8 sided design:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vsz1f7nmjuztno9/Docking_Ring_Novel_v3.io?dl=0

Incidentally, as far as I can tell studying the Studio models, I suspect the lack of attachment between the docking ring outer structure and the internals isn't really a problem - the link chain structure of the outer ring seems to get sandwiched fairly firmly in place between the internal structure and the base plate.

Can you please share the link again?

I think you have room for putting 2 of these, at least for Leia and C3P0

This is great! Do you have a build file?

Thanks @Lock, I have a stud.io file but it's 193 KB which is too big to upload - any suggestions on how to get it to you?

Could you please share the build file?
