(MOC) UCS Millennium Falcon Rebuilding

[Bossk]

Friday the third of April . My UCS Millennium Falcon had an little accident when I was making a new video of the concussion missiles : you can see it here (bad quality): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUTsPuTUHvY

The structure of my old MF was very bad . It was an structure of Brick only :

After the accident I take a look at his structure : it was a bit destroyed .

So I decided to remake a new Falcon with a better structure with Technic bricks like the 10179 .

The old Falcon

Saturday the fourth of April :

Today Saturday the eighteenth of April :

This new version will not have the concussions missiles launcher because a battery box (Power F.) will be at the front of the ship .hehe .

Power Functions ? Hehe

hehe

Battery box

I feel sorry for you, Bossk. If I had a huge MOC like that and got it destroyed by accident, I would get really sad or mad and wouldn't even try to rebuild it...

EDIT: By the way, it says that your YouTube video is private...

Ops, sorry . The video is now public

Thanks for the comments

I forgot : It 95cm long . Bigger than my old version (~80 cm) I don't regret to have destroyed the old version now....

Here's an easy youtube link

I'm confused... I watched through the whole video to see the MF break in half... I'm sorry, but what exactly happened?

I'm sorry, but what exactly happened?

Yeah, what happened?

I watched through the whole video to see the MF break in half...

Me too, I thought it would fall out of his hands while swooshing, but it didn't happen.

[Bossk]

No,no..., It was not a severe accident, but the structure was very bad, so this has damaged the Falcon .

Me too, I thought it would fall out of his hands while swooshing, but it didn't happen.

I think is that was happenned, my Falcon would have been dead in the grass

Accident : I've put the MF in the grass when "boom", it fall down because of the instability of the grass .You can already see that on the video : when I put my camera head-on my MF, you can't see his feet because they are down . And that, have damaged the structure of my MF .

So it was not a biiig accident, my Falcon isn't dead in my garden, but in my room . And now.... I make a new version, so the old is now destroyed, and I don't want to speak more about it .

[Captain Green Hair]

Well your new one is looking stunning already!

I'd rebuild it too if anything like that ever happens.

Good luck with it!

[Bossk]

Thanks !

There some week ago, I rebuilt again my Millennium Falcon, because the structure I make was not enough solid for the mandibles who were really weighty. So I make a new structure the most robust possible, and I added plates on, for the interior :

The new structure looks like the old, but it 2 stud large :

I started the interior today, I can't make correct arcs like my first UCS MF . That's not a problem for me .

With the new structure, I can't add the light at the front of the mandibles, so I add two missiles launchers .

Questions and comments are welcome
