Although this has been up on Flickr for a good while now, I thought I might as well share it here too :) This is my version of Poe's T-70 from The Force Awakens (but of course you already knew that :P) The model features the all important S-foils, opening cockpit, functional landing gear and a working droid lift for BB-8 Poe’s T-70 X wing (1) by Inthert, on Flickr Poe’s T-70 X wing (8) by Inthert, on Flickr Poe’s T-70 X wing (9) by Inthert, on Flickr Instructions, more information and pictures are available on my Flickr page and even more pictures are now up on Brickshelf. Following a conversation on Flickr, I now appreciate that the forward fuselage isn't quite right for a T-70, this is something I'm planning on modifying when I get the time. Any other suggestions or comments are very welcome!

This has been my main project pretty much since Rogue One came out way back last December and I'm glad to say its finally done! My main goal with this was to make a U-wing that is closer to the actual size it appears in the movie and to have a cockpit that's connected to the troop bay unlike on the Lego set. In these respects I think its successful but I think it still needs some work, especially in fixing the proportions which were off from the beginning due to the wing design I chose. However, for now at least I'm just happy to call this finished but I'll no doubt return to it sometime! I have to say a big thanks to Kit Bricksto who let me use his great cockpit area design but also gave me lots of advise throughout the build once we both realised we had been working on our own U-wings. Sadly he hasn't finished his but you can checkout a WIP photo of it here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kit_bricksto/34815561821/in/dateposted/ More pictures and info about the build is up on Flickr. Any and all comments on the build are very welcome especially ideas for improvements!

Anyone tried making deleted scene Biggs using Rowan Freemaker's series 2 torso? Seems like a pretty close match in terms of what official prints are on offer.

Really interesting to get a look at how you went about tackling this model, from looking at the instructions alone its tough to imagine how you found so many clever connections with minimal 'filler' bricks. But on top of that is the speed you produced it AND the instructions too! The fact you start builds from the outside in is really quite impressive, especially as the larger a model gets, the more structure you'd expect, I wonder how well that approach would work for something as complex as the Falcon though? (just thinking aloud ;P). I can't wait to build (at least) the nose of yours if only to compare it to my own hehe! Oh and just a super quick clarification since you brought it up, the elastic bands on my model are purely cosmetic, not structural purpose what so ever ;)

Hi As a new member of Euro bricks I'm a little unsure of what I’m doing so please say if haven’t I’ve done something right. I actually finished, and uploaded pictures of this to Flickr almost 2 months ago, but I figured I might as well put it up on Eurobricks as well. With that out the way, I give you… yet another X-wing MOC (seems to be the thing to build at the moment). The X-wing features the essential opening wings, two small cargo areas and working landing gear. Let me know what you think and I’ll gladly answer any questions too!

Quite a few people have recreated it on Meca Bricks, all of them should have a parts list (under the inventory tab) that can be put right into bricklink if needed :) Hope you enjoy the build! https://www.mecabricks.com/en/library/search?q=inthert

Finally got around to uploading this here, my Resistance Ski Speeder. Inspired by the micorfighter set, I decided to go for a blue colour scheme as I kinda prefer it to the reddish orange colour seen on most of the craft. It was certainly interesting to build as I've never made a real-world aircraft before (or rather, anything so close to one) so it was strange to find myself building corsair-like wings and a tubular fuselage with a tail/rudder. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out in the end though A big thanks to majortom on Flickr whose Ski speeder inspired quite a few bits and pieces of my own including: fence pieces on the engine section, technic wheel rim for the tail and of course the outline of his cockpit area which was the basis of my design. And thanks to my buddy Kit Bricksto (active here and on Flickr) who kindly gave his opinion on the model during its construction :) A few more images are up on Flickr for those interested Resistance Ski Speeder (1) by Inthert, on Flickr Resistance Ski Speeder (2) by Inthert, on Flickr

Thanks! Yeah I know what you mean, it was surprisingly difficult to get it to look beaten up to the degree they appear in the movie.. I guess mine could always be a better maintained one haha! :D Thanks! that was a totally alien technique for me so I'm glad you like the effect. Haha! Yep, I finial got around to editing the photos. I'd agree there, making that gun pod was my favourite part of the build. No worries (sorry for not replying until now :), a few people have mentioned my stuff isn't showing up and I have no idea why that's happed, I doubt that problem is unique to me though. Hehe thanks! Thanks man! Yeah I was quite pleased with the way the wings came together, only problem is that they can droop a little. But its not really a huge problem especially as most other techniques would droop too.. Ether way I'm pleased you like it :D

Just over a year ago I built a Naboo Starfighter, at the time I couldn't think of anything I wanted to change.. but as is so often the case, time went on and more and more things looked off to me. Then the Battlefront 2 trailer was released (the one heavily featuring Naboo) and I was painfully reminded just how much I like the design of the N-1. So I decided it was time for a revisit.. and this is the result: Naboo N-1 Starfighter V2 by Inthert, on Flickr Naboo N-1 Starfighter V2 (Top) by Inthert, on Flickr More images are up on Flickr where I've also created two breakdown shots for those interested in how this thing goes together Naboo N-1 Starfighter V2 (Breakdown 1) by Inthert, on Flickr And finally an image of my old design for comparison: Naboo N-1 starfighter (1) by Inthert, on Flickr Be sure to let me know what you think!

A UCS dreadnaught would definitely be a sight to behold. I'm planning to do a Resistance Bomber, haven't made a physical start as of yet though :)
-
Very impressive so far! This one of those ships I don't really have any interest in building but still love the design, and with the quality of your build so far I have a feeling I'm going to like it even more! Can't wait to see how you tackle those wing cannons!
-
I was going back and forth about using a sand blue alternative, in the end I opted for LBG just so I could use those duel moulded arms :D Speaking of arms, anyone tried using Deadshot's arms on a red B-wing pilots torso?
-
Thanks so much! Means a lot to know you like these enough to create an account! The ring is quite simple really, basically lots and lots of 1x2 black plates that can be flexed into a curve and if you have enough of them: a circle :) I'm not sure how successful they'd be on ideas, I believe Lego won't produce an ideas set if its under an existing theme. That said its a very high compliment that you think these could be sets :D Ooh doing the Lars homestead would be cool, haven't attempted something on more than one level yet! I'm planning on doing the second death star's surface, only because its a bit more interesting with the red as well as all the grey :) Thanks! (yet again :P) Often with these Ringwrolds I try to avoid purchasing any new parts, purely because they're so short lived, right after photographing them I tear them apart. Occasionally though a part is too good not to order :) Thanks! Thank you! I must admit I find the empire-era more interesting than the Clone Wars but some of the worlds/location from the show are cool. Thanks! I can do a breakdown or two, lucky you asked when you did as I'm part way through dismantling it!

I thought I'd build up a few models in the series before sharing it on here, but with four instalments so far, I felt it was time. This is my Star Wars Ring-Worlds project, each instalment depicts/will depict a different location in the star wars galaxy with each one confined to the same circular base. And that's about it really, as the title suggests this won't be a series I'll update regularly, rather an ongoing project where I'll build the nest location as and when I fell like it. I've got a few ideas about which planets (or moons ) to do next but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas I'm all ears. But for now at least, I'll end this first post with the first four instalments in the series, Yavin 4, Lah'mu, Naboo and Lothal. Enjoy!

Thanks! Interesting idea, never considered something ship-side
-
Thanks! Hehe yeah, glad people are noticing them! Some great suggestions, I like the sound of Bespin, hmmmm. Thanks! That's a neat idea, haven't considered anything of an interior space yet! Thank you so much! A micro Kashyyk would be cool, I'd like to do another tree haha! a few people have suggested Courscant so that's a good contender...

For the next instalment its back to Rebels, this time we're on Atollon and Kanan has just discovered the Bendu.. Star Wars Ring-worlds: In The Wilderness of Atollon by Inthert, on Flickr As ever, more information is available on my Flickr, enjoy!

Thanks!
-
Wow! That means a lot coming from someone who doesn't much like the original design, thanks so much!
-
Thanks! Thanks so much! Haha! Thank you!
-
Thanks so much! Thanks! That's not a bad plan actually, as happy as I am with the shaping/overall look it is incredibly fragile, although since I know exactly what it can and can't do its not that bad
-
Haha! Thanks! Thanks man! Although In regards to stability I think you've got me there! Its very fragile, I can pick it up and gently 'fly' it around but that's about it, any sharp turns or unwanted knocks are likely to break it unfortunately. Thanks so much!
-
Thanks so much everyone! Thanks! No parts list at the moment I'm afraid. Haha! True, I guess your more familiar with it than anyone :D Thanks buddy! Thanks! I had the 2011 version (think it was released in 2011 anyway) and even that one lacked quite a bit of the sleekness the real craft has.. Glad you like my rendition though! Its very fragile in all honesty, the engines in particular are only held on by two studs. However, I am comfortable with picking it up and gently swooshing it around. Any sharp turns or knocks to the engines do make me wince though!

Thanks so much! Yes I do Naboo N-1 Starfighter V2 (Underside) by Inthert, on Flickr
