YellowCorvette Posted November 15, 2015 I can see the modification in the FO TIE Fighter(A rotatable lower cannon), but I barely see any changes at the X-Wing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPN366 Posted November 15, 2015 Sorry, I forgot to add notes. For the TIE, I did the rotatable lower cannon and the inside spokes. For the X-Wing, I replaced many of the dark gray and LBG pieces that were visible. I added the printed tiles in the cockpit. I added black slopes to the finish the "incomplete" engines. I tweaked the back of the engines with single stud slopes, orange single stud bricks and orange 1 x 2 plates. A few smooth plates in orange and black. I added the black cheese wedges and the orange grill pieces on top of the spring shooters. And, I copied the build of the wing cannon extensions from the 9493 X-Wing in black.

JPN366 Posted November 15, 2015 Also for the TIE, the dark gray plates on the inside of the wings were replaced with LBG plates. Also for the X-Wing, some black cheese wedges by the wing hinges. And yes, in the background you see a heavily modified AAT piloted by red arm C-3PO which was done by my son. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahtion Posted November 15, 2015 Nice changes but tie fighters including special forces have green laser cannons. Don't fall for Lego mistakes. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPN366 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Nice changes but tie fighters including special forces have green laser cannons. Don't fall for Lego mistakes. ;) Thank you! So I need to change the trans red round 1 x 1 plates on the lower cannon to green then? Edited November 15, 2015 by JPN366 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPN366 Posted November 15, 2015 After I took the pictures, I took off those tapered pieces on the sides towards the back that have the orange and black smooth plates. I changed that dark gray 1 x 4 plate for 2 1 x 2 black plates and also added 1 x 1 smooth black plates and 1 x 1 smooth orange plates on top of the exposed studs.
