Frike

Since people seem to be discussing it here: At the moment Bricks & Pieces seems to only be available in the US, UK, Germany and Switzerland. I have gotten error messages all week and now it seems to be disabled entirely?

Hey, I was checking out the updated instructions just now. I'm not gonna update my 2.5's any time soon but I figured I'd check it out at least. I can see amongst the "Extras" you got some alternative builds just like previous iterations. Specifically my question is regarding the two big wedge plates used for the roof and the dishes on the sides. The wedge plates, 2413, are still present in the "Extras" file. As for the dishes holding the cannons, I managed to find 10 (!!) 6942 really cheap when building mine last year but I know that those were also hard to come by. Are the flatter and slightly bigger dishes an alternative because of availability or would you say that they are more accurate? Obviously I'd wanna stick with the pieces I already have if I ever decide to update but I also want the most accurate version possible. And there is no one better to ask than the AT-ST expert himself! Edit: The new hatch on the roof, which looks great, does not seem to be compatible with the older roof.

That update looks real good (as usual)! I already have two of your v2.5s built. This is difficult, to update or not to update.

Judging by the sets it has appeared in it would seem as if it was created for that very purpose!

Wonderful build! Utilizing the Mimban troopers for a WWI-inspired MOC has definitely been on my mind - but unlike you I lack the figures!

I do find it kind of strange to release new versions of the AT-AP and Droid Gunship already (just like the Homing Spider Droid which was barely changed). However, I just saw images of those AAT driver droids. I have wanted those for a decade now, I am actually excited about this now! :)

I am currently in the process of building v2.5. Scrolling through photos of previous versions I see that some have a mounted gun at the top. Would you mind telling me what piece you used to attach it to the railing? I can't seem to figure it out while waiting for parts to arrive.

That looks great, I hope I can scrap these pieces together later!

I think you've got the right idea. Jumpsuits get logos, tunics do not. However it doesn't help that the costumes seem to be terribly inconsistent between each movie. Ideally FireStarToys would release both their prints on black and grey arms, that would solve those issues.

Guess I'm off to purchase some printed arms then!

Shouldn't this print, with those cylinders and a datapad, be on black arms for Imperial pilots (possibly the ground crew from Rogue One too)? I would very much like Imperial logos on my AT-ST drivers and technicians but the grey arms should just be plain like the other print that they are selling.

Looks like minifigcat for the rifle and shoulder pad. The clip is probably from BrickArms and I am unsure of what is being used as the scope. ... and now I am torn between BrickArms's MG34 or that rifle for a DLT-19.

Grey arms for these guys? Do they do special requests? If so, that would be absolutely fantastic! EDIT: Fixed the link.

I have a question to those that have purchased the Rebel Pilot or Imperial Worker arms from FireStarToys. They look absolutely stunning but how is the actual printing compared to LEGO? Judging by the pictures on their site the printing looks almost jagged or maybe even grainy (I don't really know how to describe it). The texture also looks like you could probably actually feel the print. Not gonna lie, I would gladly pay £1.95 for a pair, but so far the images are kind of putting me off.

I was very satisfied with the official LEGO set of this frigate. Needless to say, this looks like an even more impressive display piece!
