snefroe Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 see if this works... i had to keep the bytes down, so i worked a little bit on the photos... Quote
snefroe Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 a third: this is of the underside of the midsection; a few posts ago i said that both the yellow bird and ARC needed modification there, because the traditional bricks crewed up the lines of the ship Quote
snefroe Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 here's the interior of the cockpit. i dumped the stick in favor of the F-16 approach: left tile controls the engine, right tile is the steering; in the middle a Head Up Display and behind the tiles, a cockpit light sorry pilot, no seat :P Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Nice modification there young Pharao ;) It looks much smoother. However could you post a pic from the top of the ship, in order to see from every angle ;) Quote
languages Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Sorry for me asking but what is the actuallf modifications to this ship? Quote
snefroe Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 yeah... i was still working on that, Master Yoda... here it is: Quote
snefroe Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 normally i try to limit modifications, especially with this one, cause, in all, the original model is great 1) changed the legs, they were too "brickish" for me 2) moved up the engines to the spot behind the leg, otherwise the canopy wouldn't open; this means you've got the mid section and a pod with leg and engine on each side 3) changed the entire underside, including the entire cockpit and the hinges, also moved the 2 x 4 wings to close the gaps at the end (see steps 18/19 in the instruction book... think that must be it... oh yes... dropped the white disc on the yellow wing as well Quote
snefroe Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 Nice, real Nice ;) i only try to live up to your expectations, Master... but in the end i'm just a humble working man, compared to your 900 years of experience... one problem, though: the hinges. if i use the old model, the canopy doesn't really close the way I want it to. it goes up a bit (1-2 mm). it's annoying... if i use the new model, there's too much pressure on the structure.

The Middleman Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 I love the landing mech modification. Nice work! Quote
snefroe Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 I love the landing mech modification. Nice work! thanks Bloody Jay. I'm still in trouble with the landing lights, though... i thought of using a bracket like this one (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/554) and a round plate 1 x 1 but that blocks the folding mechanism of the gear... i'll also add a survival/first aid kit behind the pilot but i don't know how to do that right now... TLC should also design a jump suit, cause my poor pilot is flying without a parachute! Quote
The Middleman Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 TLC should also design a jump suit, cause my poor pilot is flying without a parachute! It's a SPACE ship. ;) Quote
