JPN366 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Mostly inspired by Jangbricks MOD with some ideas from MrLee. It's technically still a WIP, I may need to build a base for it to sit on. With it sitting on the little landing gear feet attached to the wings, it tends to pop off the pieces on the outside bottom part of the wings. I would also like to do more with the underside and add more greebling. There's so many extra plates to utilize. I welcome comments, constructive criticism and suggestions. I hope everyone likes the red windscreen, those are transparent red 1 x 2 bricks without tubes. Edited December 11, 2015 by JPN366 Quote
JPN366 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 I have added a couple of things to the bottom and I eliminated the two inside pins that hold the wings upright. Now it's just one pin used on each of the removable parts. Quote
MrLee Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Good work JPN366 I have seen the movie a couple of times now, and have decided that I will be completely redesigning the wings & mechanism of this one. Got the visual dictionary and vehicle cross sections books on the way too, so will be able to do some more research as well. Edited December 18, 2015 by MrLee Quote
JPN366 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Posted December 19, 2015 Good work JPN366 I have seen the movie a couple of times now, and have decided that I will be completely redesigning the wings & mechanism of this one. Got the visual dictionary and vehicle cross sections books on the way too, so will be able to do some more research as well. Thank you! Like I said, you definitely helped inspire my MOD. I look forward to seeing what you do with your redesign. I'm still trying to utilize all the extra pieces and plates. I've managed to find spots for the 2 x 4 smooth tiles that I didn't use from the lower flaps. I still have many plates left over. After almost a week on the shelf, it seems to be okay resting on the landing gear on the bottom of the wings. I highly recommend doing the windshield in all red, it "pops" more. I didn't have too much trouble finding the transparent red 1 x 2 bricks without tubes. Quote

patrick40 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 And Jangbricks just blew us all away with his MOD... Now that thing looks whay whay better and more evil then the origanal Lego version!!!! Quote
ptrg Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Decided to try a quick and dirty mod myself, obviously not movie accurate, but shows you what you can do by just replacing the visible light grey pieces with dark grey.. Had a crack at redesigning the cockpit, again not movie accurate, but IMO looks much better than the original set's.. All up cost about $8 in dark grey parts plus one or two other pieces I had lying around.. Not anywhere near as good as Jangs, but nor is it anywhere near the price of fully swapping out all the pieces for black ones.. Edited December 21, 2015 by ptrg Quote
belkor Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Just goes to show that it doesn't take much to turn this set into a good one. However, to make a brilliant one it needs to be all black. Quote
