So a little late to the party on this one it seems (after searching the last couple of nights hehe) but in the last week i'd totally gotten my bug back for modifying Poe's T70.
Have to say it's one of my favourite sets but there's so many things about it that bugged the heck out of me on building it and since. (The random colour bricks, the wing gaps, the underside as a whole) and I finally decided just to get down to it in LDD and bang out what I had in the head.
So I started LDD and went to work, the few goals I had was in short:
* Lower wing based landing gear near or in the engine mount (preferably in)
* Redo the wings, remove the stupid flick missiles, rework the wing weapons
* Center the engines and give them a bit more detailing at the rear
* Rework the cockpit with more than just a control console (I can't stand single levers in a cockpit)
* Rework the top rear totally, greeble and if possible move or change the technic setup
* Try and eliminate the wing / engine gap if possible
* Unify the colours to Black, orange, and greys where needed
Based off various images from google for some reference, the only things I haven't been able to get out of the way is:
- Internally planning the rubber bands (though would love to eliminate them completely, is that possible in the space provided with technics controlling the wings? technic newb here I have to admit)
- Eliminate the engine gap entirely (this one isn't bugging me as much as I thought in LDD, and not sure the spacing completely allows for it given the current wing mechanism, but hey.. open to any and all feedback on that!)
- Currently the wings overlap enough, but they're not flush which kills me a little inside. :)
Still messing around with the front landing gear until i settle on something I'm happy with, and used the light sabre hilts for t

(Yes, greebling idea blatantly stolen from the Sith Fury hehe)
Have been playing around with different things on the wings and body, so have separate LDD's, all linked below.
75102 Body Revamp LDD 75102 Wing Revamp LDD 75102 Complete Build LDD (I've used final in he name, hah, final my deep blue sea)
Until the night before last i'd been totally undecided about how to do the underside of the main body then came across All in the Reflexes T70 moc & LDD, and well you solved that issue for me. :) (Tip's hat) Thanks!
