xboxtravis7992 Posted October 25, 2015 Looks good. Can the wings fold up for landing mode still? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belkor Posted October 25, 2015 Indeed it was just a matter of time, although Lynx beat you to it if you look in the 2015 rumours thread. None the less, awesome work mate :) Really like the changes done to the front. Did you start from scratch, or mod the DBG version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mqbui1 Posted October 25, 2015 Looks good. Can the wings fold up for landing mode still? Yep, this model retains the functionalities of the original. Indeed it was just a matter of time, although Lynx beat you to it if you look in the 2015 rumours thread. None the less, awesome work mate :) Really like the changes done to the front. Did you start from scratch, or mod the DBG version? I modded the DBG version but looking back now, I should of just started from scratch since 99% of the model has been updated/changed. Thanks!

mordatre Posted October 25, 2015 Excellent MOD! The black color look so much better. I will start from scratch then, maybe even build a white one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobot Posted October 25, 2015 Hi mqbui1, that's a vast improvement on the original model. I hope you don't mind but I've embedded one of the photos in your original post so that everyone can view it without having to use the hyperlink It will be interesting to see how it looks in white......

Azrielsc Posted October 26, 2015 Great MOD! Makes the shuttle look a million times meaner! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackoBoy Posted October 26, 2015 Nice! Looks very slick :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted October 26, 2015 That's what it really should have looked like. Nice job on the redesign, I like the combination of black with the trans red and the V wings. Good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FTG Prime Posted October 26, 2015 Wow i'll need to build that...Looks way better in black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynx Posted October 26, 2015 Looks awesome! The colour scheme and wings transfer the (in my opinion) bland and mediocre model into a fantastic set! Very sleek, menacing and worthy of major villain :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very sleek, menacing and worthy of major villain :) It's a shame the DBG bits can't be transformed to black though eh, it's essentially like buying another shuttle (don't get me wrong though, I will be doing it soon ;)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkKnight7 Posted December 28, 2015 I'm wondering, what's the most efficient way to order the parts from the set in black or trans red on Bricklink or Pick a Brick without having to match each part one by one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mqbui1 Posted December 28, 2015 I'm wondering, what's the most efficient way to order the parts from the set in black or trans red on Bricklink or Pick a Brick without having to match each part one by one? It really depends how much of it you want to convert into the black color. For example, if you are OK with the interior being the same and are OK with bits of grey appearing in certain parts of the model then you wouldn't need to buy every piece in black. For me, I wanted everything to be switched over to black. I didn't want any grey pieces to show on the model at all. Even the technic beams that you usually wouldn't notice in the original color scheme will show up once you start converting the other parts to black. If you truly want a consistent all black look, I recommend switching as much as you can over to black. Hope this helps, Marc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apoupada Posted April 26, 2016 I figured out a way to have the rear hatch on my black Kylo Ren shuttle. Here's my mod, both hatches open http://imgur.com/a/8UMiZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
