ZeldaTheSwordsman Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 So, I got 75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid for my birthday. Among other things, this meant that I now had Jango Fett amongst my minifigure collection. And I thought to myself: "Okay, he needs his ship." So I built it. View of opened cockpit: I decided to base it off of 7144 since I had most of the necessary pieces for that, though I did have to craft multi-part substitutes for a few things (Namely, the wings and the canopy). I did the best I could to follow the color scheme, though I was hindered on that front by not having certain wing plates in blue. I also made a couple of tweaks. First, I used binoculars and additional rod/wand pieces to give the main cannons a more accurate look (This is something that could have been done for the original 7144 set, and the lack of it is the one thing I can really fault that set for). I also added the smaller laser cannons near the cockpit, the ones Jango fires on Obi-Wan with in the dogfight over Geonosis. Overall, I'm happy with it. I'd still love to get the Episode II set some day, though. Quote
arc Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 The windshield is a little odd looking, and the colors are random in some spots. But overall, it's pretty good and has that old style star wars set look. I like it. Quote
ZeldaTheSwordsman Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Well, it ought to have that old-style Star Wars set look; it's essentially a recolor of the original Slave I set from 2000. The windshield absolutely looks odd, it's something cobbled together to fill in for parts I don't have And thank you. Quote
