On each landing gear, there is what looks like a pie pan with a bunch of holes in it and the main gear strut goes through the middle of the pie pan. In the ILM picture in post 113, the pie pan is right side up (like how you would serve a pie). On every other reference picture Ive seen, the pie pans are facing down.
Aye Curarumba mate ... which is which ? Seriously ! Never seen a Master replica next to the deago ( like this before ) . Just goes to show what a talented build/painter ( craftsman ) you are .:thumbsup Cheers Ged.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted show my take. I used the Cloud City landing pad idea for my UCS Falcon. I loved this design and I love Cloud City. I made mine using MDF. I CNC cut the halves and engraved the lines. It's mounted flat on the bottom of my table so I could do the whole raised landing platform. I Photoshopped a Cloud City background for the base of the table.
Mostly just wanted to say thanks for a great idea!
