Marmite

Yeah I had a look at the Jangbricks video and bought both of those parts but I cant quite figure out how to bring everything together! Really hoping someone who has already cracked it can help out here.

I'm having a bit of a struggle trying to convert this set to all black. I'm basically done apart from the central roof element which lifts up at the front and back on a combination of four grey hinges (2 x 4 with 6 studs and 3 pin holes) that dont come in black! Can anybody help to suggest alternative ideas who may have already completed the colour changing process? Im stuck!

Loving the black version of this ship. I'm trying to do one myself but struggling with the closing hatch on the main body. How did you alter that to still work but with black parts?

Thanks for the pics Reputator. How did you do the front red pieces? I've got some on there at the moment but can't seem to see an obvious way to eliminate a black plate under the top layer and also get the side pieces to line up.

Some pics of this finished would be great! Instructions look good though, thanks for sharing. I'm also modifying this set at the moment. I've pretty much replaced every part with a black item to get the colour scheme sorted. Having trouble with 4 plates that essentially act as hinges for the top of the main body of the ship (they are listed in the manual as 4646513). They dont seem to come in black (or at least not in any significant number on Bricklink) so I need to come up with an alternative to keep things black. Dont suppose anyone else has tackled this? I'm also trying to ensure the red parts at the front of the ship look right. Jangbricks seems to have nailed both of these elements but its really difficult to figure out what exactly he has done. Any info/thoughts on these would be massively welcome!

Love this! Thinking of trying to build it myself. Do you have an updated part list (and instructions?!).

These are both really nice, well done! I actually quite fancy building that smaller version though. Do you have any instructions etc for that one?
