Wurger49 Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 No clone troopers are included in 75333, the Republic LAAT Gunship requires no extra pieces on top of the set. Instructions are on Rebrickable. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-150294/Wurger Bricks/midi-republic-laat-gunship-alternate-build-of-75333-obi-wans-starfighter/#details The availability angled technic connectors and pin hole plates made it possible to rebuild this set into the shape of the Republic LAAT Gunship with its slanted wings and slopped back ramp. The 75333 is widely available in Australia and is often on sale. This compact gunship can seat 2 clone troopers in the cockpit, and 2 standing in the cargo bay. The main cockpit bubble canopy that allows 2 clones to sit inside the stepped cockpit formed the core of the gunship, with the rest of model extending from it. The two 1x12 white plates were perfect for the top frame of the model. The back side panels are attached onto two brackets on each side, not the strongest of connections, please hold the model along the cargo bar opening. The engine design of the Delta-7 was carried over to represent the missile launchers with a technic axle pin sticking out, not ideal but close enough in terms of looks. The angled technic connectors allowed for the slanted wings, with 4x4 modified white tiles covering up the connections inside the wings. I really enjoyed designing and building this Midi Republic Gunship from just pieces from 75333, it’s very budget friendly and hopefully provide clone army builders with a bunch of gunships!

TeddytheSpoon Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 This is adorable! Is this just from one copy of 75333? That's amazing if so. Quote

Big_Daddy Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 This one looks great! How's the structural integrity, is it swooshable? Quote

I think the body of the ship is very strong, the bargo bay panels though are not, they are only connected by 2 studs. Check out the youtube video, there is a section on sturdiness. Quote
Per_SW Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Kudos, definitely, for such a nice alternate, I really like how you captured the shape of the LAAT with that limited number of parts Quote
