![]() ![]() Its skull was one of the traditional symbols of Mandalorian iconography, and some Mandalorian armor bore the distinctive symbol. They were allegedly tamed and ridden by Mandalore the Great and ancient Mandalorians, but they were believed to have gone extinct long before the Mandalorian cataclysm, although at least one mythosaur survived and lived in the Living Waters during the time of the New Republic. The Mines of Mandalore were a mythosaur lair. Mythosaurs were creatures of gigantic proportions found on the Outer Rim world of Mandalore. A regular lighter is not recommended." You are a Mandalorian! Your ancestors rode the great Mythosaur." ―Kuiil scolds Din Djarin I recommend using a hot air gun or a proper torch if you can. Once the silicone is dry, you can come with some heat shrink and shrink it on to the ends. This isn't necessary, it is so you don't have to worry about shorting out wires internally when you put on some heat shrink. Optionally, you can re-add silicone to the ends of the strips. Wires that are twisted together are much easier to work with. Once the silicone is cleared off the ends, tin them and a set of wires. If you cut close, you can usually just bend it and crack it off. Make sure not to cut all the way through and cut the circuit on the back. These strips are waterproof, so they have an extra layer of silicone on them. You can use a knife or scissors, whatever you're comfortable with. Inside the strip you'll see two little copper pads and a little scissor image. I recommend an inch or two away from either end is probably good. Take out the strips and measure roughly how long you want them to be. That makes it nice and smooth and gives it a really good finish Before the last layer, sand the whole thing down with 220 grit sandpaper. You probably only need one layer, but it just will help preserve it and keep it from warping. It isn't something you're going to see, but it helps make sure that the wood will expand and contract more evenly with temperature and humidity changes. Also remember to do the back of the board. Make sure to use a glove and a soft cloth to wipe it on. It is super easy to put on and protects pretty well. Wipe-on polyurethane is my go-to for most sealing needs. This is a piece of wood that I had laying around, so just putting on some dark stain gets it close enough. I could actually have used a big hunk of walnut or something like that, but that would be really expensive. I'm staining this because I wanted to match the other wood that's inside my office. This is the hole you will use to pass through the wires, so make sure they are big enough for your wiring While you're doing this, also drill a hole through where the front slots pass over the back slot. Go through and drill out the holes for the mounting brackets. I had to use an angle grinder to cut off about 1/2" from each bracket. Because of this, the brackets didn't quite fit. Unfortunately, I didn't measure the spacing inside the Falcon before I bought the brackets. It is really hard to place the front bracket under the Falcon, to you have to do it by measuring. Measure from the back of two lower brackets to the front of the front one. With those two brackets in position and centered, take the third bracket and measure so it's centered between them. Once the Falcon is pulled off, use a pencil and mark out the screw holes. This makes it so you can easily pull the Falcon off without having the brackets move. Once the brackets are in place, use a piece of 1"x2" and some clamps to hold them in place. There are a couple edge pieces that you can push them up against ![]() You want the brackets pressed up against the main Technic pieces and as far as wide as you can go. Remove the top centre plate and two from the back. The feet will take some of the weight when hung up. Try to keep it centered and make sure to have all of the feet on the board. Bring in the Falcon and set it down on the wood. ![]()
