Jerry McGlade Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I am, I have already modified the ship to look like the original Millennium Falcon excluding some of the passageways. At the moment I am making the passageway to the cockpit and the hall to it with the room in front of it. I would be really interested in seeing the mods The Brick did to the piece of junk. Quote

Lock Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Interesting work in progress, I’ve still to decide what to do about that (wannabe) room (was thinking about a place where to store the not used antenna), but maybe an hallway to the cockpit would be a better idea. Quote
FreedomAndGlory Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Hey guys! Been creeping for a bit and love all of your mods! Thanks for all the tips and inspiration. I just added engine LED's to my falcon, and I was wondering if anyone had come up with a good method of lighting the cockpit yet? I think that light should be really subtle to be appropriate for the scale. Any ideas? Edit: would love to add landing lights too! Edited January 20, 2018 by FreedomAndGlory Quote

Right now I am attempting to make the hallway go all the way to the cockpit, and recently just started to make the ramp up go to shooters cockpit and the hall. Again work in progress. Quote

They are very small with a variety of ways of wiring them together. Lifelites There are some thumb sized pictures to show what is possible. For the cockpit there is an overhead light and two on the control console. For the new model it might be more difficult to run the wire because of the interior. I don't have it, so can't comment on it. Edited January 21, 2018 by sandtrooper Quote

Jerry McGlade Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 The end of the weekend is near, and so far everything hopefully will sound very clear. And now here is my finshed hallways with an entrance with some elevated slopes which then transfers into the entrance with the entrance to the gunners cockpit. Quote

Jerry McGlade Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Update: Redid the shooters cockpit and made the shooters seat be able to move. https://www.flickr.com/photos/152598045@N05/shares/759x59 Edited January 24, 2018 by Jerry McGlade misspelling Quote
Jerry McGlade Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Started to make hallway to cockpit from main hold. Movable cockpit has been intact. https://flickr.com/photos/152598045@N05/sets/72157662814930917 More MOD’s soon. Quote
Lock Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I had a look to the current issue of Blocks magazine about MF mods. In short they moved the rear Lego room from left to right (like I did in my first mod) and built the night section there. While it’s very nice, I think they got it totally wrong, as the hyperdrive position should be (more or less) where Lego placed it, and beds are no way in that spot on the real Falcon. However it’s an interesting solution. :) Update: Hmmm... having a better look at it, it seems they didn’t swap rooms at all, they just built the night section in the right room.

Jerry McGlade Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I think your original thought was true on that they put it in the wrong place. Remember the sleeping quarters are behind the main hold, and this one is to the left of the entrance. You can see that because of the angle of the slope of the "roof" of the ship. The sleeping quarters are in front and to the left of hyperdrive room looking at the ship from behind. Quote
SquirrelArmy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Still very much a work in process, I have lots to do before its anywhere near completion but as the subject is on lighting the Falcon I thought I’d post my plans. I’m using some old usb powered xmas lights and have them situated inside the Falcon and will be drilling into the base board so I can use them as landing lights in a ring. I do think the cockpit light is a bit bright still so I may have to reposition that one. Quote

The sleeping quarters are in front and to the left of hyperdrive room looking at the ship from behind. I've superimposed the Lego MF on an official blueprint and realized that, technically the sleeping quarters are not visible at all: But I can accept some license because it's nice to let something in sight. I decided I'll let a part of round hall to be visible, because it's a big part of the Falcon. Here's my project (I'm waiting for a pair of Bricklink orders to make it real): 1 - Hallway 2 - Berth 3 - Hidden compartment 4 - Relax zone 5 - Kitchen 6 - Hyperdrive 7 - Escape pod 8 - Armory 9 - Big hidden compartment 10 - "Han-Leia kiss room" 11 - General cargo zone Edited January 25, 2018 by Lock Sorry, too big images.

Jerry McGlade Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 huh that is interesting, the sleeping quarters in the cross section books it is in the upper left side of the Millennium Falcon, where did you get your schematics from? Quote

From these two books (sorry italian text): http://www.lemonskin.net/io/11564 Of course my version is "licensed" as well. Just a general idea about where is where, as it's not possible to recreate the real zones with a perfect match. :) Quote
Jerry McGlade Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 FInished hallway to cockpit and to gunners station. The life support systems room is done too. Just started building the loading room. Here are the pictures. https://www.flickr.com/photos/152598045@N05/shares/C3de2 hope you enjoy. Quote
Lock Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Could you shot some pic from more far? It’s very hard to understand well where those mods are in the Falcon. :) Quote
Jerry McGlade Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Yeah of course, here are the photos https://www.flickr.com/photos/152598045@N05/shares/NtS91G and here is the layout plan for the ship Quote

But how do you think to display it? You need to mod a lot of top panels. Quote
