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 @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…

@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.
