Wow, first real post here! This is my modification of TLG's 75042 Droid Gunship, in an attempt to make it more film-accurate. List of Modifications: - removed play features such as dropping bombs and spring launchers - slimmed down light laser cannons on winglets - changed main laser cannon to add articulation and increase accuracy - added additional pieces to front to cover gaps between ball turrets and nose - added more accurate payload on underside of disc - removed cockpit hinge, filled details appropriately Here's a view of the whole thing. Off to the side, you can see the original cockpit section, which can be easily installed As a little bonus, you can open it to reveal the HMP's Droid Brain! In canon, nearly all of the Confederacy's space and ground "vehicles" were actually independently-controlled droids. However, many games portray them as vehicles with onboard pilots, so you can easily remove the droid brain, as it is only attached via the front two studs. Above is a close-up of the droid brain. The image below shows the improved payload of missiles. Let me know what you think! I'm planning to make more accurate versions of other ships as well, so let me know what you'd like to see next!

I know it is nearly pointless to post a topic about a MOD but I will do so anyway , I have always liked mid range attack vehicles, chopper like vehicles such as the republic and droid gunships, when I saw this one on the shelf I had to get it but once it was built it had a couple issues, it looked nice while "flying", but when it was landed it looked pretty awful (which is most of the time), I dont know if those flaps that fold in to the bottom are actually the landing gear, but since there is nothing else to support the ship while on the ground, it has to be and it does a terrible job, it also bothered me that the "chin" or the bottom of the cockpit always touch the ground and moves the central canon, and last but not least, the missiles that were supposed to be rockets are now drop bombs and they are only six, I would have prefered to have more rockets even if they were not meant to be a play feature, but this is a toy and it is supposed to have those and since it's also a building toy all these issues can be easily fixed. It looks almost identical to the official vehicle. P1010005 by Nom Carver, on Flickr Its "cheeks" and the height of the cockpit are reduced by one plate. P1010017 by Nom Carver, on Flickr It has this improved landing gear.
