The Cartographer Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I recently bought the new desert skiff set, and I like it a lot more than I thought I would. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the stubby extendable catwalk (admittedly one of the cooler features of the set). I've owned the previous desert skiff (9496) for quite a while now, and I really like the hinged design of the catwalk. As soon as I had this set put together I went to work modding it. It doesn't look a whole lot different, but the changes required I remove much of the bottom detail, which is unfortunate. With the mods, it's a full two studs shorter in length, has two hinged catwalks (one on either side), additional railing detail, a hinged compartment "lid," and a raised driver platform. I'm not quite finished, but I'm out of spare parts for now. Desert Skiff [MOD] Thoughts and criticism are always appreciated! Thanks for lookin'!

TWP Posted March 15, 2017 Ooh, that with the droid arms looks like a nice and simple mod! Might have to do that to mine when it arrives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOBOT-OMY Posted March 16, 2017 Nice one, but I would place the 2 stud MF standing area at the very end of the catwalk, and make all the smooth tiles the same colour. But that's just me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moff Muffins Posted March 18, 2017 The droid arms are a pretty nifty idea. I have to steal that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
