Cool MOC KielDaMan! You did a great job on the mod. I also really like your custom designs. I didn't know that you painted it until I saw that in the comments, which means you did a great paint job!

Only a few parts were painted, as well as the stickers, the rest are in standard lego colors. Thanks for the kind words Baylego.

Another stunning rendition Kiel! Well done!
You really have the eye for customising your SW collection! The decal work is very impressive, and your boldness in customising figures really pays off! I was considering getting this fighter from the Hasbro line when I collected the figures, but this LEGO one is ten times better.

Can't wait to see what else you make! Any spoilers/hints?

Ooh, how could I miss this one, thanks for the kind comments JD! Yeah, I try to customize my SW sets so that I'll have a unique SW collection and not just bought sets (which everyone has).

Regarding my next project, I'll be taking a break from MODing official sets and instead create something not yet seen in lego form. CLUE: Coruscant Tan

I can't believe I missed this.  Another great MOD/MOC Kieldaman!  The color scheme and sticker are great as well as your minifigs.  Fits well with your ARC Gunship.  Can't wait to see your next creation sir!

WICKED! Amazing MOD work! Killer color scheme!

Damn! How in megablocks <hell> did you guess it?

Great work, KielDaMan. I really like the Razor Squadron ARC-170 Starfighter, you've done a great modification of the original set.  

Dark blue looks much meaner than the standard dark red, Al tough I would like to see the custom stickers in more vibrant colors.

With the Force...    I learned it at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant from Master Whatshisname. You don't know where that is? It's on Coruscant, and it's big and tan and- wait a minute- Coruscant...Tan...that sounds familiar. Maybe I should level up on my Force Perceive skill...

This is a phenomenal mod KielDaMan! The dark blue/white color scheme is stunning and makes the ARC have such a majestic impression. Much more appealing than the dark red and white color scheme, in my opinion. The decals also bring out a lot of character and identity to the ship, really making this a unique craft.

Another Fantastic MOC Kiel!
Im really a fan of these beuts! You've done well captering them in lego, a really good likeness.
The stickers are quite good aswell!
Nice job, looking forward to seeing more MOCs from you!

Thanks the Inventor! I will try to fix the pale colored-front sticker when I have the time.

hello
I like the made work.
It would be possible to have images of the sticker.
Thank you in advance
bye

Hi angel06,

Sorry it took a while for me to post this, this is the DSS I used for the Razor Squadron ARC-170. For you, and for everyone else who'd like to convert their 8088s. Just resize the image to approx. 1.6-in. height. The dark blue parts are available in BL, and you'll need some black paint also.



Link to original pic. This is the perfect example that I have no background in grahics design - the Rancor noseart is crappy.

hello
Thank you for to have thought has I, I am going to be able to change some arc-170 and recover a new squadron  

[Blackicep8ntball]

Hey KielDaMan,

Dude, this is a GORGEOUS mod. Not only does the new color scheme look great, but your mods to the build, particularly with the front of the air intakes and the nose of the ship are fantastic upgrades. The work you put into those custom decals really paid off too. Wow man - I'm blown away. You're the master of mods.

Thanks for the compliment Blackice, it certainly looks like I'm modding my sets too much. That's why I'd be venturing into something new for my next project.

No prob. Hope to see some other ARC-170 'converts' to join me in the Razor Squadron.

Very impressive mod.

Dude, it's just good to see well-done MODs   . You're definitely not doing too many.     Some of my favorite Lego works are mods and re-builds of sets (like this Eldorado Fortress redux). I've been thinking about doing some myself.
