@Hold0511 soooooo.....now that I wanted to Update the BLO parts, I am reconsidering the the spraypainting. First i thought i'll just buy parts....but after having done that for the mando n1 i quickly went back to the painting plan :D god, these parts are expensive... can you tell me which spray you used exactly, i remember you mentioned plastikote.

Yup I found that's the best balance between a realistic finish similar to Lego's own drum lacquered parts and it being non destructive and removable if you so desire.  I can drop you a pm if you want more details to avoid upsetting anyone in this thread.

@Hold0511 Yes please, some info about the spray would be nice. Also considering Revell acrylic metallic silver spray. And I don't see anybody getting upset here, as far as I remember, your version was a welcome sight for everyone :)

You mean buying the parts in silver? That would have been incredibly expensive! Is there even a seller that offers such a wide variety of silver parts?

Well, not all of them of course but different parts, different metallic colors... But after the n1 (which was quite expensive relative to part count) I'll just throw in a few flat, metallic, pearl silver parts here and there and spray the rest. That'll be fun, actually looking forward to taking it apart and rebuilding it again. 

 

And no there aren't enough parts and sellers... the problem is usually that even for just one lot you need several sellers as they usually only have few pieces ....

PM'd - yup echo your comments on parts and sellers, throw in the odd lego part and it helps with the shading and patina and keeps costs down.

Hello Hold,

I'm also very interested in your PM to get inputs to paint my legos in silver. Your result is fantastic ! It looks like some tiles are still LBG as well which makes the result pop out really nicely with different light angles, is that correct ?

 

I googled plastikote and they seem to have been bought by Dupli-color, is it still any good ?

 

Thanks a lot for any advice !

 

Cheers

Can you send PM with the info on how to spray paint the parts. My son wants to do the same and some help will be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Hold0511. I just purchased the bricks for Jerac’s Razorcrest. I think your version turned out fantastic. Could you share what spray paint you used and your method to spray the bricks? Thank you

Hi guys, genuinely curious how do you make this connection stick? (Step 1108)

I simply do not see a mechanism to lock it in place other than using tension to jam it in place but it still feels flimsy and fall off at slightest touch.

Am I missing something?

No creation is ever 100% finished.

Over time, new parts are released by LEGO and new ideas are born. Once enough of those accumulate, then a model may get an update.

That said, while there are some ideas I have to improve the RC, they are all related to ease of build and durability. I am pleased with the extrenal look and as of now I do not plan to change it as of now.
 

Hi Jerac... I completely agree with what you've said and endorse your point of view. Having recently purchased the PDF instructions, I’ll very soon be taking some photos featuring my own modifications using new parts released over the last five years.
Once again, congratulations on creating this iconic Star Wars ship.

I send parts list to anyone who wants them for free.

I just don't want them to be fully public to not make it too easy for chinese thieves.

DM me with an email.

Hi everyone!

I’m new to this forum and a Star Wars fan, specifically of  "The Mandalorian series", so I couldn't pass up Jerac's MOC, even though I already own the UCS version. I’ve started the exciting build process (I actually took advantage of a substantial discount on the PDF instructions during the US national holiday)... :-)

I’ve already made a few modifications, particularly to the front of the engines and the cockpit interior, which felt a bit "sparse" to me. I also improved the landing gear angle (it wasn't open enough for my liking) and added a transparent section to the escape pod. That covers the main changes; I’ll post photos soon to get your thoughts and feedback.

Nice day
