Here's the mount and construction used for 10179: Managed to basically get the mount to fit, it wasn't without it's issues. Where did you buy the lights? I would like to get it too. Next step will be prepping the set for mount "alignment", have to of course remove the whole bottom turret section, reinforce the frame, and make some adjustments to level out the frame a bit as i can already see some differences from 10179 where my current mount build won't work. Special guest: Jumbo Tsum Tsum Jabba, he's so awesome, makes a great couch pillow! Gotta say both this model and 10179 sure make it easy to access the interior to do modifications, all these easy to remove panels are great This LED setup does need to be connected to a power outlet, and last time everyone was telling me to paint the cord the colour of the wall, this time i will, but no i will not decorate the wall like the back of an ISD or a space scene And when done it again looks great, this light usually stays on 24/7 and acts as a night light for the living room, so it hides the ugly backside engines a bit Not much i can do about this, needs to be somewhere the remote can talk with it, but it doesn't look all that out of place. Made a custom little "holder" for the power box on the interior, and the receiver for the remote is accessible from one of the greebling display holes in the model. The strip does have a sticky back to stick it to something, but the pressure from the boat masts is enough to keep it in place with force alone. Had to customize a side panel so it could go through the center, but it covered up pretty well. I did of course have to modify the build a bit to fit the wiring without it being too obvious. Re-used the same strip from 10179 without having to modify it. Got the easy part out of the way - LED strip installed. And the wall i need to mount this on is concrete, so i can't just drill this into a stud Going to have to find someone with a hammer drill.Īnyways enjoy the process and pictures as they come! Few pictures to highlight this below:įirst step will be to install the LED strip to the back. I'm hoping i can use the old TV wall mount and just modify it, buying another and custom drilling more holes will be a pain. And maybe sacrifice build "ease" for aesthetics. I can look around the model and peer inside and see many of the rainbow colored bricks shining through, some in more obvious spots than others, but still i thought this being a $900CAD display/collectors model they would go out of their way to make sure this didn't happen. My biggest problem with 75192 over 10179 is it doesn't seem to hide the gaps/cracks as well as 10179 does (at least from my recollection/pictures). the one thing 75192 has going for it over 10179 is of course the enhanced details, but more importantly the build as a whole feels like it won't fall apart just by looking at it, but it does have it's weak spots. Overall 1012 are pretty similar, i found myself recalling a ton of the build processes/techniques and 10179 while putting this one together. I managed to pick one up in store lining up at 6am or so and being 5th in line when my local store (Sherway) got a restock.Īfter about a week i have finally finished building it, and now it's time to start brainstorming how to overcome some of the differences. So i plan to (try) do the same with 75192. I've since moved to a smaller condo and now more than ever do i need the room. Wasn't sure where to post this, but this seems to be a good spot for now.Īs many of you know i wall mounted my bricklinked 10179 and posted it on these forums, it was a fun endeavor and a great way to display the monster. This will sort of be a "progress" thread so i will continue to share pictures through the process.
