Hello. Everybody posts wip-threads so I might as well do that to find out what you think this far. I really like shuttles so this new shuttle from Force Awakens really got my attention. The change in design from early concept to final picture makes this a must to MOD. So I set out to make a black one, even though Pearl dark gray would be a great color but the parts aren´t available. So black it is. Then there was an early poster that also showed a white shuttle so of course I had to make a white one as well. Thanks to mqbui1´s thread about his black shuttle mod, I chose to build them from scratch since most parts needed to be replaced. I also looked at billiamy´s use of technic click hinges and decided that they would be the best to use. I also had a close look at the other toy manufacturers versions of this shuttle to see what Lego might have missed (the landing gear was the most obvious part missing/changed). Most of the parts were found in my own collection but $80 on Bricklink helped alot. :) I´m still waiting for the last parts to arrive from Bricks and Pieces so I did not bother with any nice photos yet. Since I intend to use them for display on a shelf and in a MOC I really had no use of the folding mechanism to retract the stabilizers. Instead I chose to simply make the top part of the stabilizers replaceable. It also made the horrid gaps needed for this folding mechanism to go away. The landing gear are also simple to click back on when I wish to display it in landed mode. Here´s a shot of the Bat in landed mode. The windshield is not all trans red as you can see, this is to not to deviate from my design in the white one, and there simply aren´t any good trans red parts to use without sacrificing the overall design around the windshield. shuttleblack01 by mordatre, on Flickr shuttleblack02 by mordatre, on Flickr Here´s the Snow Owl with one of the tall extensions of the stabilizers attached, and below you can see how it´s attached. The top of the stabilizers are as sturdy as the rest of the ship and will not rattle at all. I chose to include some light bluish gray in this white shuttle to relieve the eye of all white. Lego´s white is so bright it needs to have something to break it off. shuttlewhite01 by mordatre, on Flickr wing connection by mordatre, on Flickr
