    Beautiful! You have captured the shape of the shuttle well. I love how the crate is detachable. However, you should make the crate so you can store things inside, like kyber crystals or minifigs. After seeing this, I am thinking of producing a UCS variant myself. I have supported your model on Lego Ideas and wish you good luck! Kind regards, Ellis.

    Wow, this is awesome! I am disappointed in myself for buying TLG's version now. I love the orange crates and the greebling to the drivers cockpit!

    This is definitely the best rendition of a Blockade Runner! The detailing is amazing, it really contributes to making the model look scale. You just need a Star Destroyer to go with it ;)!

    @nerdsforprez Ok, I am looking forward to seeing it!

    That X-Wing is epic! Looks like those engines would definitely suit my MOC. Thank you for your help, I will try getting those engines on my U Wing! Kind regards, Ellis.

    @nerdsforprez Wow, looking very good at the moment! I feel as if my model does not have enough greebling now ahaha! Looks like I am going to completely redo the engines similar to yours, because I believe I do not have enough greebling and my engines don't suit the size of my model. The wings are definitely out of shape, but I appreciate the difficulty mixing technic and normal bricks. 2000-3000 bricks is a huge amount, you will definitely need to find strong ways to mount the swing wings I am sure you will achieve that, though. Also, I have to say this is a unique take on the U-Wing, and you have a lot of work to do so good luck! Kind regards, Ellis.

    Thank you! I am pleased it makes that much of an impact against TLG's U-Wing.

    This is cute! You have captured the shape of the shuttle extremely well. I love the cockpit it looks great!

    Thank you! However, I have not decided what to do yet regarding the LDD file and instructions.

    Very sleek design, well done! I borrowed your wing mount design for my UCS U-Wing, hope you don't mind. Merry Christmas, Ellis.

    No problem! It suits my MOC well, thank you.

    Update #2: I have shortened the troop bay hopefully, it looks more to scale. I am progressing onto the engines and wings now. Please follow me on Flickr for updates and more photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/139001104@N03 /

    Thank you very much! I am working on all the points you stated . The model will be perfect one day.

    Great detailed review. You haven't missed a single thing in my opinion! Merry Christmas

    @legoSWfan Those pictures are awesome, and will really help. Thanks! @ScottishDave Looking at images, I would definitely agree the fuselage/troop bay is too long. @daf1009 Thank you! :)

    Thank you guys! @ScottishDave I will most likely end up deepening the compartment, as you can not fit troopers in with helmets. I am not sure about the engines, I will look at some more plans/blueprints etc. Hopefully one day I will have a version in bricks! @Capitan TendereteI would agree I think the cargo bay might be too large, but that is an easy fix. With regards to the doorsI, will see what I can do.

    Update #1: Hello guys, I have modified my model to your suggestions! I have also added images of the interior as many of you requested them! The total brick count is now: 1005. I used this image for reference: http://img00.deviantart.net/98d0/i/2016/280/e/6/u_wing_schematics_by_ravendeviant-dak92nh.jpg To begin with, I have lengthened the engines and added detail to the intakes based on the @ChristopherLee Arc-170 Engine design mod. @TWP I then slimmed the wings down as they were too thick @legoSWfan Finally some images of the interior, I had to remove the left side of the ship to show you, as it was difficult with the LDD camera positioning. Thank you for reading! Kind regards, Ellis.
  21. Ellisss_2
    Thanks, for your reply. I will make the engines longer/bigger and try to strengthen the connection point.
  22. Ellisss_2
    Pleased you like it! Also I will upload more images of the interior when I get time. Yes the cockpit is connected with the troop bay. I will try to add your improvements!

    Thank you for your reply! Here is the windscreen I used: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=30497#T=C&C=12

    Hello, thank you for your reply! And yes, at some point I will once I have made the final version.

    Update 22/11/17 Project abandoned, LDD file here for anyone interested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wwc7v3p2s2yep72/UCS UT-60D Rebel Transport.lxf?dl=0 Welcome everybody, After recently seeing Rogue One, which is an amazing film, I decided to redesign my U-Wing and make it UCS by recommendation of @brobert as it wasn't very accurate. I have managed to get the model to approximate minifigure scale. The cockpit can accommodate two pilots and the cargo bay around 10 troopers. I am pleased that I have managed to keep the sleek aerodynamic look, as that was my original goal that I set out for myself. For the sliding doors, I have mainly kept TLG's design, but I have hidden the function almost completely as theirs is clearly visible. The wings do swoop back, however, I was having difficulty rotating them on LDD so I do not have any images. Hopefully, I will fix this issue!I have also used their UCS Y-Wing stand as I thought it suited my model well. There is not a transparent piece/cockpit large enough for the bottom of the ship, so I used four transparent 6180s instead. My design is made up of 888 bricks, which is not a great amount for a UCS set. However, this is because there are a lot of big bricks throughout the model. This MOC surprisingly only took 5-6 hours to create. It would not be a UCS Star Wars ship without greebling, so I have included this at the rear next to the engines. The only noticeable issue with the model is the lack of the cannons at the front of the ship, I will incorporate this at some point Please give me your suggestions, so I can improve my model, as this is a work in progress. Thank you for reading! Kind regards, Ellis.
