RyoichiST MOD of Kessel Run Falcon 1 of 35

This is an extensive modification of the LEGO Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (Set 75212).

 

Exterior modifications include:

- a vast reduction of the gaps between the roof panels

- cockpit and tunnel were shifted an inch aft

- the roof of the tunnel raised higher

- the central superstructure between the bow (of the escape pod) and the dorsal turret was redesigned to have a straight incline

- escape pod is a MOC featuring the port headlight, the aft-access door, new set of engines and blue accents, and the roof angle was changed

- window hatches installed on both the dorsal and ventral gun-turrets

- improved the shapes of the docking rings

- the mandibles were widened

- the blue accents were moved/redesigned to be more movie-accurate

- the rectenna dish's attachment point was lowered and its ball-joint was removed

- the forward landing gear was added and all landing gears were made taller

 

The MODs were developed by me except for two of them, which were based on other builders' works: the gap-reduction MOD was inspired by "Alternate Bricks"'s wonderful solution (as seen on YouTube) and the awesome docking-bay ring shape was created by "ggwho", who posted his/her MOD on Lego.com. Thanks to both of them for their work! And thanks to LEGO for offering a wonderful set and its mini-figs.
