An RPF Open Source 5 ft Millennium Falcon Build/Reference Thread. All Are Welcome

I'm calling these three finished...ish. Still don't know about the trapezoid parts.

I will take a stab at this.

It certainly appears to be a Centurion tread from the multiple references I have. It appears to be mounted with its thin hinge forward. There is a vertical tab that seems to fit perfectly in between the slot in the bottom of blade actuator pistons joint. Thisself aligns things. Anyway, that is what I have done for my 13 flaps on the rear engine deck.

Thanks. I was hoping it was that version. DO all versions come with the tread you build or just some?
 
Well, I'm trying to flatten my second Nichimo turret. Hopefully this one won't melt. LOL.

I'm soaking it in hot water with a weight on it. Think it will work?
 
Just out of curiosity, would any of you fellow Falconites be up for a meet up via Google meets? It would be nice to get to know names with faces and talk. The Mrs. and the kids will be out of the house tomorrow and I thought it might be fun. Any takers? I was thinking around 8PM EST but I'm flexible.
 
Those treads are not Tamiya 1/25 Centurion, but Bandai 1/15 Hummel!
Thanks eagle1.

So much for reference accuracy and my eye ball. I initially questioned the slightly smaller size, but they looked accurate and fit so nicely, so I got out foxed.

I can easily change these out if I come across the Hummel version. Otherwise, they stay as is or go on the bottom as a hinge for the actuator.
 
Never used Google meets. How does that work ? Is it like Skype. I know I'm showing my age. Hey, my first email would tell me, You've got mail ! LoL.
