  • The Lego UCS Millennium Falcon was never meant to be hung on the wall. This changes that. Check out all the details of how to get the falcon where it belongs.

    Now you only have to paint your wall like the back of a Stardestroyer's bridge, so it looks like that scene from ESB.

    Sick way to display the falcon.
    I find it strange that the set isn't meant to be displayed on a wall mount like this. How else are you supposed to display it? It needs an entire desk for itself pretty much.

    Hi Dave, I've doing a very similar mount on a 24x24 base. OF course my luck and only a single stud gets me properly centered on my wall. I see you used a single stud with 3 screws (3 1/2" or longer?). How has that held up? Was it adeqate? Or should I go a little off-center and utilize a second stud?

    • @david0429
      @david0429  2 роки тому +1

      One stud was more than enough. I think they were 2 1/2" screws. 2 should be enough, but 3 is better. Still holding strong

    Hi Dave, I do have the same set and would like to ask you few questions regarding how to keep legos all in one piece like that. Did you use some sort of glue? Is it possible for me to reach out to you via email? Please? Thank you for your help

    • @david0429
      @david0429  11 місяців тому +1

      I took off all the loose pieces, mounted it, then put them back. The ones that wouldn't stay on their own, I added random other pieces I had to hold them down

    I too am on my 3rd build of my falcon. How did you keep it together with all the moving around? I look at mine or sneeze in its general direction am parts seem to fly off. I picked up as shown in the book to put it on a stand and it completely fell apart. You pick yours up and it is perfect. I don't want to build this again, so please let me know how you are doing this!!

    • @david0429
      @david0429  4 роки тому +3

      The slot in the bracket was cut because there is a beam inside the falcon in the way. That beam now sits in that slot

    This is very close to what I'm trying to pull off. What are the dimensions of that piece of ash? Seems like you can't really go much smaller based on the landing gear. Also, what are your thoughts on using a similar vertical mounting approach though mounting it on a slightly angled stand rather than on the wall? Do you think that would mitigate some of the problems with mounting it completely vertically on the wall?

    • @david0429
      @david0429  4 роки тому +1

      The board is 13"x20". You could go a little less wide. As far as mounting on an angle, you could probably do that, you'll just have to pin down different areas so they don't fall off.

    1) This thing is not for everyone, you meed a lot of stuff that regual people doesn't have.
    2) i didn't understand something, the last part when you put extra pices, they are extra rigth? they were there before, you add the so those parts will don't fall?
    I have to say, looks very cool, but is to do it if you know that you will not be moving to another house hah.
    And last thing, another question, how the hell did you pick the falcon with one hand in that position dude???? i needed 2 hands to take it from the table to couch to put ut in the lego display haha.

    • @david0429
      @david0429  3 роки тому +1

      1 - Agreed. I try using more common tools, but not everyone has a shop
      2 - Yes, they are extra. They don't come with the set, but just came from my other collection to hold on the plates
      I would recommend getting a partner to help with the install. I still have PTSD about the number of times I smashed it :S
