Custom Microfighters

[xadrian]

Greetings all.  A while back I posted a Home One microfighter I'd done.  Since then I've designed about 100 more.  It's been a fun ride and I'm slowly getting the parts to build them all out.  These are mostly Legends ships as a lot of canon stuff has already been done.  I'm still working on them and may stop when I run out of material.

I also have a Google Drive with all the stud.io files.  This also includes about 30 or so designs that I've reverse engineered or downloaded from here, Flickr, BrickLink, or other places .  I haven't got all the wanted list xml's uploaded yet but I'll get to it.

I hope you enjoy them and try building some of them.  I only have instructions for a couple but could be persuaded to do more.  They're pretty small, so having the .io file should work in most cases.

Very nice! I am really only familiar with episode I to VI, so I don't know most of the ships, but from the ones I do know I like the Tantive IV, the Gungan submarine and the Lucrehulk ship the most. I also like that ship which appears in the game Jedi knight 2 jedi outcast, but I am not sure what it is called. Something with luxury I think. And last but not least those micro A-wings are great too! Very recognizable despite having only a few pieces, literally. May I ask you which program you used for rendering? I want to render an LDD creation one of these days and your renders look excellent.

Wow, I wasn't expecting too much when clicking the links but that still doesn't justify my surprise and awe :D There is soo many of them and mostly great models! I really have to find more time to look more closely on the designs but that's some great work over there for sure :D

Agree! this is a nice collection! I am not a fan of the micro fighter series, but this is really well done series, and just a nice portfolio of them. The renders look great and showcase your mocs very well.

Great job! Now you must build them all
I love to build MF too, look here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131592135@N08/albums (some of them are mine and some modified existing ones )

I agree, this collection deserves time to be appreciated. I don't discard to build some of them. Fantastic job overall.

Amazing collection. I might have to look at your CAD models at some point. Definitely interested in the Tantive IV and model as I've collected the Original Trilogy Good Guys ships so far (+ the U wing as thats great)

 

I didn't see a B-wing in the collection unless thats WIP ?

Wow... that's impressive!

Thanks everyone!

To answer some questions, I used stud.io 2.  The newer version has a great rendering engine, which is partly why I like using it.  It has some issues and it doesn't have 100% of parts (namely minifigs, which is why some of these are kinda of kitbashed) but I've grown accustomed to it.

So, I'm comfortable showing these because for the most part they're my designs.  I linked to a Google Drive with the .io files and some instructions and wish lists for BrickLink but also a lot of other designs I found online and reverse engineered.  There's a B-wing and a B-wing prototype from Rebels as well.  I adapted the prototype but it wasn't enough of a change for me to feel it was my design.  Still, it's available if anyone wants to d/l and build it.

To that end, a lot of the well known ships are already taken, either by TLG or the rush that happened to do this like four years ago.  This is just a deep dive into Legends stuff, so they'll get more obscure, but I probably won't run out of designs any time soon. :)

Additionally, I have the list I'm using up on drive as well.  If you want to request something that's not there, please feel free.  I add stuff to the list as I run into them.  Usually while randomly browsing Wookieepedia or watching Spacedock and Eckhartsladder.
