Replaced detail at the back with guitar string, removed some of the coil:

Cut to scale and added to the back:

Primed:

Heres how it looks on my 1/72 falcon:

Still not sure wheather to do this as the Millennium Falcon or the Stellar Envoy?......

Those are the dual springs and mounts from an Allied half track.  Although the modern Dragon parts are far better detailed than the parts used back then.

*Just a little useless ILM kit bash parts trivia  ;D

Interesting Ken!
I'd like to know of an in-depth list of all parts used. Bet there's one on the net somewhere.

Great mod there and nice trivia there Mr. Trebek.

You did a very good work on those Videos. And for that, you will be allowed to start some days later  ;D
Im looking for one of that power sources, but they are too expensive for my taste. Maybe I have to wait for a bargain offer.

Nice technique with the guitar string, I'll need to keep that in mind when I get to that area.

That's what I did.  It took me a month to find one at a reasonable price.
