[MOD] Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter 75333
mcphatty replied to mcphatty's topic in LEGO Star Wars
@Johnsen that’s a great little change you’ve made! Especially since you’ve stuck with the philosophy of not using any extra parts. Thanks for sharing 😊- 28 replies

Amazing final scenes, you’ve done superb work at huge and small scales, the Endor battle has been wonderful to see! I especially enjoyed the Executor crash diorama and it was an honour to see some of my micro ships appear in the Home One hangar, thanks again for using those. Congratulations again on your wedding!! I hope you and your wife had an awesome day and best wishes for the start of your married life together.

I've bodged together a video of my Ghost mods to show off the ship on it's stand, not many sets can pull off being displayed on a high shelf but this one definitely can! And here's a few images to give you an idea of my modification process, starting with the original build (plus modified Phantom 2), removing sections and disassembling some of them to be rebuilt, then adding the modified sections back on and finally squeezing my Phantom 1 in the back.

[MOC] Sabine Wren's Mandalorian Fang Fighter - Alternate Build of 75362 Ahsoka Tano's Jedi T-6 Shuttle
mcphatty replied to Wurger49's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Fantastic use of pieces, you’ve managed an alternate build that’s a better fang fighter than the actual fang fighter! -
I've managed to get around to taking some photos of my Ghost & Phantom set modifications. I've replaced all the renders above with matching shots of the mod, and here's a few more...

Just a small update to this modification, I've added the first Phantom as an extra build! This little ship is oddly proportioned in order to match the size of the Phantom 2 in the set, most of it is taken up by the cockpit area but I did manage to include some storage inside and folding wings. As with the Phantom 2 mod, this shuttle can dock with the 75357 Ghost set (with the same very minor modification to the roof) and also my modified Ghost. Parts are around £15, some are a little less common than I'd usually settle for but I think were essential for the iconic shape and limited colour in the build. Free instructions and parts list are in a ZIP file on the Rebrickable page.

[MOC] Darth Maul's Scimitar (aka the Sith Infiltrator) Minifig scale with full interior
mcphatty replied to Evilkirk's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Absolutely awesome, the more I stare at your photos the more I love it! First things first, the ship looks perfect, beautifully smooth with the odd stud or bar for texture and some really clever use of pieces like those Technic panels either side of the cockpit. Great angles too and I really like how you've built the light/dark grey patterns. It's all excellent. On top of all that the interior is amazing, the contrast between the hidden mechanical detail and clean open areas is bloody satisfying to look at and I really want to know how you sqeezed all that in and gave the ship enough strength sit so comfortably on that stand. I guess I'll have to buy the instructions! Superb work, it's a real triump! Any chance of seeing some photos of it next to your excellent Rogue Shadow?- 36 replies

The Ghost modifications are complete! I've added instructions to the Rebrickable page, along with a ZIP file so the Phantom or Ghost mods can be done seperately. The instructions go through removing some external sections, describing which to disassemble and which to keep intact, then how to mod the ships. Overall the mod requires 550 extra parts (costing around £35) plus the parts from the removed and disassembled sections. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-161011/ron_mcphatty/the-ghost-phantom-ii-set-75357-mod/#details

Hi all, here's a quick modification I did to the new 75357 Ghost & Phantom set. I really love this new set, it's a very well proportioned build and fairly faithful to the ship we all love, but as with most big ships it's lacking detail. As usual with Lego the underside was ignored and sadly the Phantom 2 was kindof badly proportioned and odd looking, so I had a go at improving things. As always Instructions for the modified Phantom are on Rebrickable and the 566 extra pieces will only cost about £45, plus another £15 to build the first Phantom. And here's some photos. The original structure is still in there, the mods involve removing exterior parts which only takes around 15 minutes, then almost everything I've added is surface detail or rebuilt sections. Several of the sections are completely new, like the docking rings and roof, and some like the main top panels just need some tiles and wedge plates to be added or rearranged. The underside of the ship has a lot of parts added, partly disguising the Technic Brick structure but mostly adding some simple slopes as well as the signature lower-body shape. I'm really pleased that I was able to eliminate some of the gaps around the roof area, as well as reposition the docking rings to be centered rather than high up. I think the angled stand also helps The Ghost look it's absolute best when on display. Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy the mods!

I've added some photos to the original post, plus here's a few with the minifigures! The poncho and apron are from @thebrickway, his are the first custom made minifigure parts I've bought and I'm really pleased with how they look.

@bdestena You've done a great job lowering the top of the X-Wing rear, those boat plate pieces are perfect for keeping the panels in place. Thanks for the pictures, I've been planning to do the same so I'll give this a try

Here's my attempt at making up for the shortcomings of the T-6 Jedi Shuttle set 75362. I went to town with extra pieces (530 so far!) and added a lot of bulk and detail to both sides of each wing, along with some extra thickness and detail for the hull and cockpit. The wings are double-sided, studs facing out both sides too, held back-to-back with brackets. They're surprisingly solid and hold together well for a bit of swooshing, and with all the extra pieces the set now weighs an extra 160g so has a really satisfying feel to it! I also added a vertical stand that has a few gaps for minifigures. I've put some free instructions on Rebrickable, it's tricky to show off both sides of the wing but hopefully these photos and renders give you an idea of the substantial bulkiness of the new wing. Here are the renders from the original post...

@Aeroeza Your nose mod is excellent! The angled panel you added to the original side panels is a great piece of building, really great job sealing all the gaps up. Looking forward to seeing the finished product, have you built it for real yet? My nose mods, landing gear stand and R2 are all done, I don’t think I’m going to do anything else to this set. Free instructions are on Rebrickable, see the zip file for the nose and R2 stuff.

I really like Yoda’s little Starfighter in The Clone Wars, but I didn’t like the old set and the new one didn’t do it for me either… so I rebuilt it. This modification/alternate build uses only pieces from 75360 (none of the extras), the cockpit ‘ball’ is bigger and rounder, the wings are shorter lower and set further forward and the spring-loaded shooters don’t work. Or maybe I should say BUT the spring-loaded shooters don’t work? Anyway, I think I’ve improved the proportions a bit and it’s a pretty solid build. If you’re interested free instructions are on Rebrickable

I got around to taking some photos of the stand last week and have edited them into my original post. Here's my modified UCS X-Wing on it's landing gear stand, pride of place in our living room (for now!). Free instructions for the stand, X-Wing modifications and R2-D2 are on Rebrickable.
