prateek Posted March 11, 2011 Wow! I think the general consensus here is that this is the best minifig scale T-47, and I'd have to agree. It's just perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delta 38 Posted March 11, 2011 Nice! It appears "heavier" and stronger than the official version which I own from the Wampa Attack set, for obvious reasons. The grey colour works surprisingly well for a vehicle that's mean to be white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted March 11, 2011 Mm*. *Hey Brickdoctor, brickartist, maybe this is actually pointless and nobody really cares about how that area looks except for us... siseon evidently cares. The grey colour works surprisingly well for a vehicle that's mean to be white. Uh, the T-47 is grey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel Posted March 11, 2011 siseon evidently cares. Right. At least one person is listening to us. Uh, the T-47 is grey. Dirty white. But as with the X-wing and the Y-wing, LEGO white is too clean, so gray fits the look better. Regarding the bit about the 33 slope bricks for the repulsor drive units, another alternative if siseon were to move the slope brick on the outside inward such that the flat area is two studs in width. Of course, this would require him to omit the braking flaps, but you can't really capture them accurately at this scale anyway... and it would certainly look better than having a large blocky area sticking out from under the wing.

siseon Posted March 14, 2011 That's explained in the last line of my signature. You did request, so... expect a PM from me soon. On the other hand, is that an X-wing I see in the background? Pictures, pictures... Thanks for the PM. I'll try and incorporate your thoughts on the next round. Although there may be some wait in order since I am in search of new parts to try out. Yes! that is an x-wing in the background... but that thing is so busted up proportionally that I am looking to rebuild it from scratch since it is based off of the LEGO 6212.

I will probably not go that far. I think one of the most defining features of the T-47 are the brake flaps. I think by deleting them would certainly take the "soul" away from what makes it a T-47.

It's nice when people take my suggestions into account. You're right about that X-wing being pretty poorly proportioned, though; I can think of three or four things I'd change from that wing shot alone. I'm glad someone else shares my opinion of 6212. I will probably not go that far. I think one of the most defining features of the T-47 are the brake flaps. I think by deleting them would certainly take the "soul" away from what makes it a T-47. I thought so. Maybe there's a way to incorporate both; minifigure neck brackets could work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Yogi Posted March 16, 2011 Great combination of some fantastic MOCers T-47's, as well as adding your own personal touch. Great job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
