appiah4 Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Has anyone done this? Is there a list of parts I would need to do this? The builds and models look pretty similar aside from the panel construction? I'm considering getting the Prototype model (available for cheap) and later doing this mod if it won't require too many expensive bricks.. Quote
brickmasterben11 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I haven't done it, but you would need to make the wings longer and maybe change the color scheme a bit, also mess with the slant shape of the wings. Quote
jdm44 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 The rear end of each ship is also different so it's not as simple as changing the panels. Are you trying to make an exact copy of the new Tie with parts from the Prototype? If so you could compare their parts lists to see what else you would need. Quote
appiah4 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I guess thats what Im trying to do but the parts list is for 75150 isthe two ship builds combined so hard to go into rebrickable and get a shopping list :-( Edited June 1, 2016 by appiah4 Quote
Sucram Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Having reverse engineered the new Vader's TIE, the build of the cockpit and back is noticeably different. Also, the wing panels will definitely not be able to be made with pieces from 75082. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Also the prototype is not the same size as Vader's tie Quote
appiah4 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Looks like I'll have to get the instruction manuals and make a piece count list for each and figure out the differences myself :( I'll actually post the list here if anyone else is interested in bricklinking the differences. EDIT: Ufortunately building instructions for the new set are not available on the LEGO site? :( Edited June 1, 2016 by appiah4 Quote
Sucram Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 They always come out a few days after the set is out, wait a week or so. Quote
appiah4 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 They always come out a few days after the set is out, wait a week or so. Alright, cheers :) Will very gladly turn my Prototype into a Vader TIE in a couple weeks :) Quote
Geebee Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I did this last year. I posted few pics on Eurobricks: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=105781. Since then I updated the wings to make them similar to the official new Vader's TIE. I don't have a part list but I can share more detailed pics that may help you. PM me if you are interested. Quote
Littleworlds Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I'm also planning to update the prototype into a proper TIE Advanced, since the new set, which just got released isn't really convincing me. The fighter is way too small there. I don't want a compact-car version of it The actual modding shouldn't be difficult really. There are lots of blueprints, photos and models of it available Quote

That would be really nice, but an LDD or parts list would have been so much better. I'm no newbie to Lego but I haven't been into it for such a long time before 2015 that I have very little knowledge of most contemporary bricks and build methods :( Quote
Geebee Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Sorry no LDD and I am afraid I don't have time for this. PM me your email address and I will send you few pics. Quote
appiah4 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Wow, even with the instructions this has been an exercise in futility. Near impossible, at least for me. Is there an easier way to do this maybe? Export the part lists from LDD models seperately and compare those? Can LDD do this? EDIT: Yes LDD can do this. Apparently, the builds are nothing alike. Of the 389 pieces that make up the Advanced x1, 318 are not included in the Advanced Prototype. Here's a list of differences if anyone else is interested. I will instead try to go by Geebee's photos.
