  1. Nice 👍
  2. Classic studs on show build looks really good 👍 Nice stands too!
  3. Yes, very well done 👍
  4. Great idea. Just looked at your Flickr photo stream… wow!
  5. Nice idea! Paint or cover the wall black and stick some rocks on it for an asteroid field effect.
  6. Nice looking legs. Please can you show us a plan view of the underside? I’d like to see how you mounted the centre landing gear. Keep up the good work!
  7. Great MOD! I liked the set as it was but knew it could look better. Thanks for sharing the instructions too.
  8. The 10497 is a great value for money set but I actually thought it was a bit too big, complicated and flimsy. I’m not really complaining as it looks great but the original 928 was a really nice sturdy, swooshable set that I could put together from memory when I was a kid. No pleasing some people is there!
  9. Very nice! It’s fun making additions to these diorama sets. I thought of doing the swamp whale that spits R2-D2 out but haven’t got the imagination for it!
  10. Thanks jawchef. I was also thinking of having Obi-Wan Kenobi deactivating the tractor beam on the right hand side instead of the Stormtrooper and mouse droid.

  12. Quick MOD of the 75339 Trash Compactor to get C-3PO and R2-D2 on display when it’s sitting on a shelf. No extra bricks required. I might dig out the 75229 Death Star Escape to put a Stormtrooper and mouse droid on the other side. 75339 Trash Compactor MOD by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr
  13. I've been following this thread with interest, I love the Millennium Falcon but only had the micro fighter sets before 75257 came out. UCS is great but too big for my liking and the cockpit position and mandibles on previous versions didn't do it for me. 75257 is really good but the gaps stop it being a great set in my opinion. My first attempt to fill the mandible/hatch gaps involved adding two layers of plates to the existing mandible structure. I've used coloured bricks to make it obvious. Unfortunately increasing the depth of the mandible meant that the canopy was harder to remove so I tried moving it one stud sideways which helped but left an even bigger gap that needs filling somehow! I also want to add a forward centre line landing gear too.
  14. Awesome ship! Makes me want to stick all my Classic Space bricks in a pile and see what I can come up with. Don't think it would be that big though :-D
  15. It's tricky but you can make a Borg Cube out of the remaining bricks after making a Federation ship. 20170428_225337 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr
  16. Nice build, the top looks great. Any plans to tidy up underneath and loose Han Solo to make it more midi scale rather than a better micro fighter?
  17. Thanks Dean_1987, the Death Star test rig was actually the last of the three to be made so it's just made up of left over pieces. The micro Star Trek ship worked surprisingly well and I did try to make a Borg cube out of the pieces that make up the Death Star test rig. It didn't work obviously! The Gunstar was the first creation of the three and was done completely from memory so it's actually quite inaccurate but I was close(ish) :-) No instructions but hopefully you can see how I did it from the exploded view picture.

  18. Got bored, played with LEGO, result = a Death Star test rig with docked Star Destroyer / a Star Trek federation ship / a Gunstar from The Last Starfighter :-) 75030 Millennium Falcon alternative builds by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr 75030 Millennium Falcon alternative builds by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr 75030 Millennium Falcon alternative builds by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr
  19. Fantastic looking B-Wing, great work!
  20. How did that B-Wing go? I try and make a B-Wing alternative build out of most of my SW sets but have only been successful with the 75049 Snowspeeder so far!
  21. Cool speeders and great photography, how do you get them against those backgrounds?
