All done! Took a little more work than i thought to put on all the panels again and adjust them to be as gravity proof as possible, some trial and error with a lot of things. The stupid LED cord wasn't long enough, so i had to move it around inside and run the wire up through a different spot (oh and i painted the wire ;)). The mount itself isn't perfectly level (even though the holes i drilled are) guess this is just the construction of the mount itself in that it bows a certain direction for whatever reason, maybe it's just getting old?
Still some things i need to play around with, but nothing that will be really visible, so this is as good a time as any to share the finished product.
Just realized i took these pictures with the mount swung the wrong way, the MILF is indeed centered with the TV and not strangely off centered The mount can be placed flat 2 ways, got it placed flat on the wrong side for these pictures.
Right above the tv! perfectly visible spot, as i said it does center with the TV, mount swung the wrong way for this shot.
As with 10179 i keep these LED's on 24/7 pretty much as basically the nightlight for the living room area. We also change the colour based on the season, so it will be Orange for Halloween
One of the things i still need to fix - making the falcon more parallel to the wall. As you can kind of see here it's leaning a bit to one direction. Just need to loosen the swivel and adjust, but easier said then done as you do need 2 people. Landing gear can be removed if you'd like, but i keep it on, plus it also acts as a support against the wall.
Anyways overall very happy, looks better than my 10179 did on the wall. That vertical stand has been floating around built of Technic pieces which would probably be much easier than this, but that would still need a shelf or something to sit on, and i don't have the space to do that, so this was really my only option. Other option would certainly be a lot more stress-free haha, i'm still cautious of something on the mount failing, and any odd creaks/cracks makes my eyes dart towards it, but it should be fine just as 10179 was.
So that concludes this log, hope you enjoyed!
