How to add a Solo style Escape Pod to your Lego Millennium Falcon 75105

  • Here is a tutorial on how to make a Shuttle / Escape Pod for your Lego 75105 Millennium Falcon! The main new feature of the Kessel Run Millenium Falcon 75212 is the front end escape pod. I don't have it in me to buy another 170$ Falcon set but was interested in seeing what the old Millennium Falcon from the Original Trilogy and the Sequels would have looked like if it "still" had an Escape pod. So, with about 15$ worth of parts, I put one together and have filmed a bit of a tutorial on how to build it. I've got a small version for the Microfighter Millennium Falcon 75193 coming soon!
    Parts list can be found at: thefarquar.com/...

    Really great. The color scheme is so much better on this model than the Kessel run one. This, combined with the modifications from Alternate Bricks, and you have a very nice millenium falcon :) Thank you.

    Excellent Add On Build!!! I followed your step by step tutorial and made some slight Mods for pieces I didn't have and I was able to convert 75105 to a close approximation to the Kessel Run 75212. Thanks.

    The falcon is a YT series correlion freighter, it’s supposed to hold cargo crates in the mandibles but Lando callrisian added an escape pod instead and instead of using the falcon as a freighter, he painted it nicely and used it as a leisure ship, in solo the escape pod get jettisoned to save the ship...the falcon has inbuilt escape pods too

    What do you mean IF it was canon? This movie's set within the same world as the others dude.

    • @mjsmiley
      @mjsmiley  6 лет назад +6

      Wingetom2 At the time, I had not seen the movie and I was uncertain of what the pod even was. If it was meant to be how the freighters all come from the factory, then it would seem like a violation of what was already established in other movies. But even before seeing the movie it dawned on me that this was likely going to be considered an aftermarket Mod made by Lando. At that point, I was a lot more accepting of it and realized how it fits in my model of the Star Wars universe. So, mostly, it was just that this didn't sit well with me at first since I was Used to the Falcon having a cut out... I've updated my mind on it since then but it's too late to change the audio in the video. Thanks for paying attention!

    The mandibles are for holding cargo specially designed to be transported by those freighters, that’s also why the cockpit is on the side of the freighter so the cargo wouldn’t be in front of the cockpit blocking the pilot(‘s) view(s) SO STOP PUTTING STUFF IN THERE THATS NOT MEANT TO BE THERE ruclips.net/video/8shenO9mViY/видео.html go to 2:04 and watch

    • @mjsmiley
      @mjsmiley  5 лет назад +1

      Oh ya, since the force awakens ship is older and off the market, I could see it being the more expensive one now. As for tuneos and an escape pod, I definitely think you can modify the ship to have an escape pod and a hatch. Just might take some good tinkering. I wish you luck.

      Hmmm, I bet you could build up the outter wall 2 studs thick, and leave a gap in the outer wall and use tiles and plates to get the gap to snug around the rails. Maybe use those panel pieces for the inner wall layer to keep it thin... Just ideas.
