Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
For the cannon, drilled through the long posts to feed the wires through (had to cut the connectors off then resolder). For the mount, used two L-brackets and then a few different metal mending…

Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
@Christian Nanini pictures of the engine assembly. I kept the grey grids, but moved them further into the ship to make room for the new assemblies. About 25 of these snap onto the top rung to create…

Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
@Christian Nanini same exact method you shared. That is only one light. I haven't played around with any LEC effects on it yet. I'll take some pictures of each assembly tomorrow.…

Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
@Christian Nanini @Rob Klingberg I've found that using a trans-cylinder defuses the light nicely. If you want it even more defused, use a white cylinder.

Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
Confirmed you can fit a pico led inside the half pin, but need to cut a lot of the PCB. Going to order some red LEDs and another LEC. Then going to bricklink some trans-red pipes (and hopefully some…

Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
@Brett Halper one down before I headed into work. Found it useful to drill halfway through from one side and then go from the other.

Re: UCS Tie Fighter # 75095

@Christian Nanini love to see what you come up with for the table, that is the one piece I'm not thrilled about (not counting the engines... Yeesh they are bad).

Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
@Christian Nanini All my lights are the standard warm-white pico LEDs. Having the flexibility to use whatever plate/stud ontop is important. I cover almost all of my lights with some non-translucent…
