  1. I did some extremely simple modifications to the new A-wing to make it a bit more screen accurate: First off I simplified the cannons. I felt like the cannons that were desigined by TLG were a bit too large and a bit too complex looking in comparison to the in-universe vehicle. You'll also notice the cockpit stickers from 75003: Second, I made the fines a bit larger. They were way too short on the stock 75175 and seemed to be just directly based on the dimensions of the Rebels-era A-wings: Even with the fins being larger it can still sit on its landing gear just fine, though the bottom fins do hit the ground, unfortunately: The pilot is L'ulo of Green Squadron and later of Black Squadron fame: One thing I couldn't figure out was how to achieve the split at the front of the ship... I may attempt to do some creative sticker work in the future to create the illusion of a split without having to completely redesign the model from scratch because I'm actually pretty fond of the look overall.
  2. Pretty disappointed in the lack of Zuckuss in the BP to be honest. Is it possible that maybe the BP is Freemaker-centric? Maybe there IS a possibility of Zuckuss showing up in a Freemaker set as stated above. Not that it would make a difference in the quality of prints or anything but just an observation given Dengar's inclusion in the series.
  3. it's not really lower detail, just a variation of the Death Trooper without the pauldron and ammo pouch on the left shoulder. It's accurate to the film, there seem to be 3 of each in Krennic's entourage.
  4. Thanks Forresto! Changed the build of that "thing" in the background to bring the two disk halves closer together and I think it looks much better now:
  5. Small Death Trooper Vignette based on the Rogue One shoot by Entertainment Weekly: Had to take some liberties with the scene. I wanted to include the device seen in the background on the far left. Not sure what I could have done to bring those disks in a little closer so that the gap wouldn't look so large, if anyone has some ideas let me know. What do you think?
  6. Nothing too special. Just modded 9492 with some more modern parts to make a more realistic cockpit section.
  7. Thank you for the positive feedback! As for LDD it's very unlikely. I don't really have the time and I've never used LDD before.
  8. Posted this MOC some time ago but I've since changed and added some things. Kind of a combination of a UH-1 Huey and a HMMWV in look and concept. I was also obviously channeling a lot of the aesthetic of other Imperial vehicles like the AT-AT and AT-ST. This craft is primarily used in atmosphere to deliver and retrieve a squad of Stormtroopers to and from combat zones quickly and provide aerial support to troops on the ground. Top hinges open to allow easy placement of figures: Tactical Map detailing objectives for the squad's mission:
  9. Thanks for the feedback! I'm proud of the way the ship turned out but the wings have some bend to them that I'm not too happy with. I think it's mostly do to some natural flex in the parts but it's a bit jarring to my eye.
  10. First Order TIE/INx2 - An experimental upgrade to the Empire's TIE Interceptor used by the Navy of the First Order. The ship is even faster than the original and boasts shields much like the First Order's upgraded TIE/LN fighters. It also has tracking abilities and radar jamming abilities, making it extremely hard to hit for all but the most experienced Resistance pilots. The TIE/INx2 is utilized by only the most skilled (or suicidal) First Order pilots. This MOC was inspired by a TIE concept art from the Force Awakens. The inspiration:
  11. Thanks for the kind words! @Miles teg. The rear is pretty much identical to the unmodified model.
  12. I honestly never liked the construction of the cockpit section of 9492. I really hated the look of the printed bubble canopy so I decided to mod mine using pieces from the TIE Advanced Prototype that was released earlier this year: I think it looks a million times better!
  13. Anyone have any recommendations on printed legs for Bossk? The unprinted legs that come with him just make him look unfinished to me.
  14. Personally I'm not a big fan of modding lego. I tend to keep things purist but weapons are an exception, especially for iconic characters who have weapons that are fairly unique to them. I had originally purchased the Brickforge Headhunter Quickshot: http://www.firestartoys.com/Shop/Minifigure-Weapons/BrickForge-Guns/13245-BrickForge-~-Headhunter-Quickshot-~-Black.html I wasn't particularly happy with the limited poses I could get from Fett with the weapon in this configuration. I wanted to give him a pose that looked like he was shouldering the weapon so I cut off the stock and what is intended to be the pistol grip. I also cut off the grip that the figure is intended to hold onto and glued it to the bottom. I also attached a Brickarms AK stock that I had painted some time ago and I think the results are perfect: I now have the perfect Boba to go with my UCS Slave I
  15. Thanks for the kind words! I decided to go with an all grey color scheme for the rock wall and I think it looks a lot better:
