    75394 Star Destroyer will arrive tomorrow. A Bricklink order with BD-1 and poncho for Cal is on its way as well.

    I had to get the buildable C3-PO. R2-D2 was feeling lonely in the shelf.

    I will buy that blue Batmobile on the first day, and spend the next days/weeks making it shorter and narrower. I will look if there are dark blue wheel arches out there as well. So much potential.

    I have removed several chains to get the minifigure, and did the opposite process to convert a minifigure in a keychain. I use the tip of a soldering iron to heat the metal until it slides out with little force. Once cool the plastic is not harmed. I'm not familiar with that led R2-D2 keychain, but if the metal piece used is the same I'm pretty sure you can apply the same process.

    Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comments. My nephew is absolutely thrilled with this set. We were building it together one bag per day during a couple weeks and it was the only thing he wanted to do after class. I honestly bought it just for Malak, but his enthusiasm was so high and contagious that I ended liking it. Looking how happy he was during the process, it was money well spent. I wonder which will be our next project.

    Hello there, I wish I have checked the MOD from master Ron first, as that is the mandatory way to go with this set, but these are my humble modifications so far. Studless head with firing feature and openable chest with cockpit which slides out. Two quick pictures, I will elaborate further later. Kind regards, Paul

    I love the studless head on Chopper. I'm going to try to cover R2 head with tiles and slopes to get rid of the visible studs.

    Well, that sucks. It was exactly my plan. The current 5L chain connecting Paz's gun and backpack will stay for now.

    When I show him my creations his two questions are always does it open? and does it fire? So I may try to put some firing mechanism in the head instead of the pilot. Please show us if you manage to put a cockpit there!

    Amazing! That hollow inner space was surely asking to be used. As requested by my 5 year old nephew i repurposed it into a openable cockpit for the small R2-D2, but I'm very tempted to try your mod.

    Just got 75379 R2-D2. Malak is mine!
  12. PaulPrime
    Agreed. It's also more compact, in scale and accurate than the official one. Great job.

    Trouble on Tatooine just arrived today. I ordered from Lego online store last January, 1st. 10 days, not bad given the problems with the snow here in Spain. Finally I have a proper Mando in Beskar.

    That was fast! Very good representation, I liked it on screen as well.
  15. PaulPrime
    Answer for both questions is yes, though you have to modify the sides of the head to make them thinner and use jumpers to offset the seats. I can't link pics as brickshelf is offline but I shortened the legs on mine too.

    Sorry, didn't take any picture during the process and the helmet is glued on. Not a lot to see anyway, there is like an inner part of the head which fits around the torso neck, and an outer part with an empty space in between with the details and colours. I removed most of this outer layer of the head and leave the face.
  17. PaulPrime
    Thank you!
  18. PaulPrime
    Thank you! I used a soldering tool and some blades. I roughly marked the portion of the head I wanted to remove, heated the blade and cut. Heating is not mandatory but makes cutting process faster. Then I cut little bits with smaller blades until the helmet fits. You have to be patient and don't cut too much each time.

    My order finaly arrived and the new engines are done. There are not many 3x3 round pieces, and I had to sacrifice the inner detail from the first version, but the size is as correct as it can be at this scale.
  20. PaulPrime
    I have this idea for Kuiil and made it a reality during my holidays. I didn't expect to have to carve so much of the original head to fit the helmet, at the end only the face and neck remained. A bit of white on the eyebrows and a Blurrg and it's done.
  21. PaulPrime
    Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated. Regarding the engines I agree, actually those were the pieces I had available but a Briclink order with a couple pieces which will fit better is on its way. I will update when it arrives.
  22. PaulPrime
    The accuracy given the scale is amazing. Great job! Regarding the mandibles, it's an easy fix. Check this http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=90654 but there are many examples around.

    I decided to give a try to build my own version of the Razor Crest during the quarantine, but using my own bricks. Due to limited availability it had to be a micro version, but I'm happy how it turned out. I tried to incorporate some play features as well (doors open, kind of landing gear, "interior" or at least hollow space) and keep it as smooth as possible. I'm proud of the sloped cabin, the most difficult part by far. I hope you liked it. Regards, PaulPrime

    My orders arrived and finished my small Mandalorian army. The custom arms and weapons are amazing.

    Sorry, I'm not sure what is the part you are asking for. Legs and hips comes from different minifigs or legs from my parts bin. Is this one https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=970c85pb13 ?
