The official model is 5.9 cm wide, 10.6 cm long, 15.4 cm tall. Or 2.3 inches wide, 4.2 inches long, 6.1 inches tall. My model is 5.1 cm wide, 9.1 cm long, 12.8 cm tall. Or 2.0 inches wide, 3.6 inches long, 5.1 inches tall. Another overpriced set from LEGO — even though it includes two great builds, the newly designed Spider Droid and the updated AT-RT. The yellow AT-RT has been downsized from the massive 501st version of 2020, which in my view is actually a positive change compared to other downsized Star Wars vehicles. Just like when I rebuilt the 501st AT-RT, I wanted to make this walker more screen-accurate and closer to minifigure scale. The Spider Droid was not modified in this listing. It was important to me that the AT-RT remain as posable as the original. The large feet from the set play a key role in stability, so I kept most of their design intact including 6 dishes for leg joints, with only minor adjustments. From the hips upward, however, I redesigned nearly everything — saddle, seat, and front shield — to significantly reduce the overall size and make it truer to scale. For play and posing, I recommend holding the model at the hips, since sudden pressure on the joints can shift the connection there. I also modified the flat silver tooth plate by removing the bracket beneath it, giving it more articulation and adding stability when posed in a walking stance. With the spare pieces, I put together a small command post, complete with blasters and a communications unit. I hope everyone who picks up this set (hopefully on sale!) enjoys the build and finds this AT-RT mod a more accurate and satisfying version. Instructions are on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/231903

When the 2025 V-19 Torrent was announced, I thought it would be perfect for rebuilding into a Republic Gunship — it’s practically tradition for me to convert starfighters into gunships. But when I finally built the V-19, I was so impressed with its design that I decided to start with a modification first, using leftover pieces from my Z-95 alternate build from set 75402. After the modification’s successful launch, I took apart the V-19 and began work on the gunship. The first problem I encountered was the lack of bracket to use around the cockpit due to the wide fuselage design of the V-19, which means I had to design around a 6-studs wide base vs the 4-studs wide base I normally use. Fortunately, there were just enough SNOT bricks and Technic pins on Technic bricks to support four 3×2 curved slopes — my dream pieces for recreating the gunship’s trapezoid front profile, where the cockpit canopy is narrower than the hull base. White 1×8 and 1×2 curved bricks let me seat the trans-yellow windscreen at an angle without big gaps, and I built a hinged slope to close the gap while still allowing easy opening. The cockpit comfortably fits a single clone trooper pilot — perfect for darting around on recon missions. The yellow and light gray bricks are used on the side hulls like the actual gunship. Once the cockpit was sorted, the rest of the build followed my usual modular approach. Two 1×12 Technic bricks form the spine, with more Technic bricks making up the back wall of the cargo bay. The rear ramp connects on angled pin plates, while rear side panels mounted on brackets close the hull gaps. Two projectile launchers sit under the cockpit on either side of the nose. The cargo bay is 6 studs wide and 7 studs long — enough for six clone troopers facing forward, though I display mine with four troopers standing sideways. The tail gun connects via a hub on pin plates. For the missile launchers, I kept the ball-socket connector system from the V-19, testing several 3×3 round arrangements before settling on the sturdiest design. The wings connect as a single integrated unit to the spine, locked in with just one pin and one brick — surprisingly secure with very little flex even when swooshing around. This is one of my most structurally sound builds yet; you can grab it anywhere on the main hull and swoosh it around by the fuselage sides without worry. This gunship continues the evolution of my alternate-build gunship series — a sturdy, playable, and display-worthy addition to any LEGO Star Wars collection.

cheers, I find alternate builds a lot more accessible to the general public.

After building the 2025 official V-19 Torrent, I was quite satisfied with the design — but I saw room for improvement. I wanted to enhance the proportions by extending the wings and raising the back fin, and I built this modification using leftover parts from my Z-95, which remains my most popular alternate build for 75402 (ARC-170). This upgrade lengthens the V-19’s wings by 4 studs each and the height of the back fin by 2 studs, giving the starfighter a sleeker and more balanced silhouette. These instructions let you build both the enhanced V-19 and the Z-95 Headhunter using only the parts from 75432 and 75402 — no extra bricks required.

cheers mate, thanks for the mention! slowly doing more alternate builds from the August wave!

My First Imperial-Class Star Destroyer Alternate Build As I was going through my MOC collection, I realized I was missing the iconic grey wedge—the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. That unforgettable opening scene from A New Hope is etched into the minds of all Star Wars fans, and I wanted my collection to reflect that. To my surprise, set 75356 Executor still doesn’t have a full-sized alternate build of an ISD, so I decided to take on the challenge — and this became my first Star Destroyer alternate build. Starting the Build The lack of 3x6 wedge plates made it difficult to nail the classic wedge shape. I began by designing the wedge base that would support the two large hull plates. After a few hours, I still wasn’t sure I was heading in the right direction — and just like that, the first night was gone. The next night, I changed tack and focused on the hull plates instead. I combined dark bluish gray and light bluish gray wedge plates to extend the hull length. Adding a notch along the sides helped me stretch the length by four studs. A red 2x16 plate provided excellent structural strength — a real game-changer. Building the Hull Once the plate size was locked in, I went back and forth between the three main sections to ensure they integrated smoothly. To create the sloped shape of the hull, I placed the front two hinge bricks one plate lower than the back two. It’s technically an illegal technique, but it’s surprisingly strong and stable for play. Sloped and curved bricks formed the central spine and guided the shape of the hull. To finish it off, I added ingots and grille tiles to fill the gaps between sections and bring out the greebled texture. Underside Features The ventral hangar bay is represented using plating around a black 4x12 plate — clean and effective. I even managed to build the solar ionization reactor using a rounded bottom piece, which I tucked just behind the display stand connector. For the engines, I knew I needed to convey power. While the set has trans-light blue 1x1 round plates, I didn’t think they gave the ship enough gravitas. So instead, I went full-out with triple large square exhausts to represent the ISD's main thrusters. Superstructure & Details The rectangular superstructure beneath the tower went through several iterations using different plate and tile combos. I ended up using door rail plates at the top to close the center gap — a simple but effective solution. Surprisingly, the set has exactly eight 1x1 clip tiles, which let me accurately build the eight turbolaser turrets flanking the superstructure. It’s rare to get a perfect match like that in an alternate build! Command Tower & Bridge The command tower was one of the last sections I tackled. I got creative with the leftover parts — even borrowing four-stud-on-one-side bricks from the display stand to build it up. Grille slopes form the tower’s angled sides. For the bridge, I drew inspiration from the classic 8099 Star Destroyer, especially the way the deflector shield generator domes and communications tower were built. I debated using round tiles atop the cones, but they added too much height — so I left them off to keep the proportions right. In the end, I’m really proud of how imposing and screen-accurate the command tower turned out. Finishing Touches I even managed to rebuild the display stand, leaving room to showcase the 40th Anniversary Return of the Jedi tile. The model is sturdy and can be swooshed around with or without the stand. I’m extremely happy with how this midi-scale Imperial-class Star Destroyer turned out. It looks fantastic next to my Venator from set 75304 — a fine addition to any LEGO Star Wars collection. Instructions are on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/224895

Operation Midnight Hammer brought the B-2 Spirit back into the spotlight — and I wondered: could I build this iconic stealth bomber from an existing LEGO set? I settled on 75383 Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator. The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is a heavy strategic bomber known for its flying wing design and low-observable stealth technology, capable of penetrating advanced anti-aircraft defences. With its grey anti-reflective finish, the B-2 benefits from a muted appearance — perfect for recreating with the dark and light bluish grey wedge plates in the Sith Infiltrator set. Design Highlights I did my best to replicate the bat-like W shape of the B-2. The biggest challenge? The shallow angles of the available wedge plates. The inverted radar dish commonly see on Tie Fighters works surprisingly well as the cockpit dome, flanked by notched curved slopes to form the pointed nose. The central bulge, where the cockpit and bomb bays reside, is built with tiles and slopes that smoothly flow into the buried engine pods. I used smooth-surfaced elements where possible to echo the B-2’s seamless, radar-absorbing surface. The air intakes (curved slopes and wedges) and exhausts (pearl titanium ingots) sit atop the wing — just like the real B-2, to stay hidden from ground-based radar and IR sensors. Wings, Hinges & Finishing Touches Extending the wings beyond the engine pods was tricky. I iterated on several ideas before committing to hinge and rounded plates. Macaroni curved tiles helped add visual rhythm and disguise hinge gaps, giving the wings a cleaner flow. I used leftover pieces to build a stand that resembles a half-domed control tower, complementing the aircraft’s futuristic vibe. Darth Maul’s speeder is unaffected by this build. Swooshability This model is very solid around the central section, great for play and display. Displayed next to my SR-71 Blackbird (from set 75406), this alternate B-2 Spirit build from 75383 makes a striking addition to any LEGO collection.

It’s time to revisit the 75404 Acclamator with a Clone Wars Attack Shuttle. The Nu-class was a faster, long-ranged supplementary design to the LAAT gunship, designed by Cygnus Spaceworks. The class had heavier armor and shielding from the dorsal fin, it also housed a hyperdrive for long distance travel. As it performed the role of an armored transport, it had seats for up to 30 clone troopers, while lacking the missile launchers of the LAAT gunship. It was designed with fold-down wings, similar to fighters like the V-19 Torrent and it was the predecessor to the famous Lambda-Class. Its boarding hatch was located at the nose of the shuttle, right below the cockpit. The bar clip pieces have quite a bit of grip on them allowed for the folding wings not to flap around when playing with the model. I put in brackets on the side hulls to limit the angle of which the wings can fold down. The foldup angles are also pleasant just from the side hulls. I love how the cockpit section turned out so smooth, these sloped wedges are just perfect for the angled down shape, plus allowed for the dark red and yellow colors to show through. The sand blue cheese slopes and the trans clear plate combined to take the windscreen. 1x1 round pieces are used for the laser cannons on the cockpit cheeks and wing joints. The angles on the side hulls are achieve by the angled technic axle and pin connectors, the core connection is the same as the keel from the 75404 Acclamator, kept the clone troopers too. The dark red stripes are used at appropriate locations to brighten up the light grey model. I also created triangular armored plates; plus inverted slopes are used extensively to strengthen up the model. The dorsal fin is built up by stacking plates, single stud width like the windscreen. Engine exhausts are done by trans-light blue pieces, they are not accurate but had to make do. The model is connected to 6 studs on the official LEGO stand, you can fold the wings either on flight or landed model on the stand. You can also land the attack shuttle on a table as the base is flat with all sections. The attack shuttle is structurally sound model, picking it up by the cockpit or dorsal fin, swoosh it around on holding the two slopes on keel. It also looks great displaying next to other Star Wars Midi-scale ships on the official LEGO stand, making it a great additional to any LEGO collection.

Time for another Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter! This time, the challenge was not using the 75388 Jedi Bob’s Starfighter as a base. Instead, I combined the 31160 Race Plane with the 75400 Microfighter. This combo is a popular choice due to the color match, affordability, and wide availability—but it lacks a proper windscreen. Fortunately, I had a few ARC-170 windscreens left over from my many alternate builds of the 75402. The result is a chibi Delta-7 Starfighter. Clean white stripes contrast nicely against the dark blue wedge plates, and the Windscreen 7 x 4 x 2 Round with Handle adds a sleek transition from the cockpit to the back fin—visually very satisfying. Due to the reduced size, I chose not to include the standard tile blasters, opting instead for 1x1 slopes to represent laser cannons. There are no play features in this build, and it’s a bit more delicate compared to my other Plo Koon Jedi Starfighter—best classified as a display model. The windscreen is connected via a single jumper plate (which also reveals some yellow tile detail), and the cockpit sides and rear are attached by only three studs. It’s fine to swoosh around by holding the core and stand, but be careful: lifting from the top can pull the model apart. I really enjoyed the challenge of avoiding both the 75388 and the usual bubble windscreen. With so many unique Plo Koon Starfighters out there now, there’s surely a version to fit into any LEGO collection. Instructions are on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/222635

Reminiscent in design of the Empire's TIE interceptor and Darth Vader's TIE advanced, Kylo Ren's TIE Silencer is a First Order's prototype starfighter equipped with stealth technology, laser cannons and missile launchers. The angular cockpit is a shortened version of the command shuttle, with a taller window screen from 2 layers of trans clear and red pieces, plus a round tile for the hatch door. It features a hyperdrive and a deflector shield generator, and twin ion thrust arrays at the rear. If you look at the back of the cockpit, I used trans-red tiles to show the ion thrust outlets. The four pointed solar arrays in bent wing configuration were given a dagger-like design to give Kylo a wider field of vision. The first problem I encountered was how to connect the solar array to wing pylons, I tried using hinge plates first but settled on two brackets on each side. The second problem stumped me for some time on how to attach the solar arrays on an angle, as the hinge plates can only rotate in a certain way and my solution is to show the anti-stud side of plates on the outside of the solar arrays. The hinge plate fingers are used to represent laser cannons, various dark bluish gray and black pieces are used for greebling on the center panels. I made a minor change to the LEGO stand to swap out a 2x4 black plate, otherwise the Tie Silencer sits on the stand exactly like the command shuttle. Now to the swooshability of the model: due to the four studs bracket connection on each pair of solar arrays, this is a display model! The solar arrays will stay on when you move the model from one display location to another, but any heavy movement with swerving will make the arrays to fall off. In the end, I managed to pull off a menacing looking Tie Silencer with its four long daggers, it will be another great addition to any collector's display.

yes, some better angled wedge plates, plus heaps of curve slopes! one can only dream. Thank you, one of my fav designs

oh yes, now that you pointed it out!

This is second one of my making microfighters great again designs, following up on the my Y-Wing from 75399 for Captain Rex. Everyone was keen to see a blue and white striped Delta-7 with Plo Koon minifigure this year, but we got another expensive microfighter, LEGO knows us fans will fork out the money to get the new Plo Koon. I have a few sets of 75388 Jedi Bob’s Starfighter from my past alternate builds, I set myself a challenge to used only pieces from the 75400 microfighter to replace all the external red pieces and recreate the blue and white stripe patterns. I used all of the dark blue pieces available bar one inverted slope, I had to use black and dark bluish grey tiles and wedge plates to fill in the gaps in the pattern. I am surprisingly happy with the final outcome; it’s like a weathered fighter that had gone through many Clone Wars campaigns. Weathering of model aircrafts simulates the natural effects of wear and tear, aging and exposure to the elements, creating a more realistic and detailed look. The astromech head is placed on the portside wing, it can be placed on the centreline by removing the 2x2 white tile. Plo Koon with his oversized minifigure head still fits nicely into the cockpit windscreen with a headrest. The core structure of the model is the same as the 75388 Delta-7, I really like how the door rail special plates closed the gaps between the wings and fuselage. This also means the model is perfect for play and swooshing around, I even added 2 spring loaded shooters underneath the wings, with 2 tile shooters on the top! I used 3x3 round pieces to create a simple display stand, this will be a worthy addition to any Star Wars collection, especially with the 2025 ARC-170!

cheers, it uses a SW set, and gets more exposure here.

When the 75406 Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle was announced, I was taken aback by its high price like everyone else, I thought about what would make the set worthwhile to pick up? I decided to try to build a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird with from the large amounts of black wedge plates inside the set. The SR-71 is a long-range, high-altitude Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft. It was designed with the smallest radar cross-section that Lockheed could achieve in the 1960s. Its design with flattened tapered sides would reflect most radar energy aways from a beam’s place of origin. Curved slopes would be perfect for the model, unfortunately I must make do with plates and tiles, stacking them up, offsetting them to create the tapered shape, like classic LEGO. With the few slopes it did come with, notched curved slopes on trans-clear pieces worked great for the cockpit. The aircraft was painted black, this colour radiated heat from the surface more effectively than the bare metal, reducing the temperature of the skin and thermal stresses on the airframe. My design is nearly all black too, with dark bluish grey highlights within the model due to piece availability. To spice things up slightly, I added a red quarter round piece to the rudder as a group marking, and the silver grille pieces act as the national insignia. The hinge plates allowed for the rudders to be canted inwards. Massive long engines span across the entire delta wings, the ejector nozzle of the command shuttle was used as the inlet of the SR-71, where I used four trans-red tiles to showcase the amount of power each engine can exert to fly the plane at Mach 3. Again, due to the lack of slopes, the nacelles are bult by stacking plates. I had to try a few different wedge plate layouts to get the delta wings to look right. Due to the plate stacking technique used to build this model, the Blackbird is very solid and perfect for swooshing around. I added 2 tiles to the existing LEGO display stand to help it to support the belly of the jet, also swapped a 2x4 black plate and grilles out to the Blackbird. The SR-71 is such a cool futurist looking plane even today, captured my imagination when I was a kid, I hope this jet becomes a part of many collectors’ display.

cheers mate, those quarter circle pieces worked like a charm.

You never know how small something can be for a design inspiration. In this case, two triangular tiles did it. They combined with blue pieces from the 75399 U-Wing gave me the idea to create a blue A-Wing from Rebels. The blue A-Wings were drawn by the legendary Ralph MacQuarrie for the Return of the Jedi, they had to be changed to red due to the limited bluescreen technology at the time. The original blue coloration made its first appearance as a part of Phoenix Squadron in the second season of Star Wars Rebels, and one can see the triangle on the nose. The A-Wing was essentially a cockpit with two engines and a hyperdrive, it was faster and more manoeuvrable compared to the X-Wing. I had to overlay 4 wedge plates to get as much angle onto the sides of the body as possible. There were plenty of different curved slopes to build up the body of the A-Wing, I tried many different arrangements like what I did for my other A-Wing MOCs, hopefully you like the current layout of the slopes. The central blue panel with the triangle pattern was connected to two hinge bricks to create the slope from the cockpit to the nose. The two bulky laser cannons were build using two technic driving ring each, I really like how they turned out referring to the MacQuarrie’s concept drawing, especially accurate compare to the slim laser cannons shown during Return of the Jedi. The two large engines were built around the 12 stud long axles. They were connected to the deflector shield generator via 2 tow ball connections, which allowed for the entire engine with its stabilizer fins to adjust their angles. The stabilize fins were connected to brackets, quite strong connections which allow for a good play experience. The model was one of my most solid builds, easy to be picked up from most areas to swoosh around; the rotating engines also reduced to chance of the stabilizer fins to be knocked off. A small stand was built from unused pieces to display the A-Wing, lifting the starfighter so the bottom stabilizer fins were not touching the table. This blue A-Wing from 75399 U-Wing set complements my red A-Wing from 75402 ARC-170, a fine addition to any LEGO Star Wars collection. Instructions are on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/222181

The Y-Wing is an iconic starship dating from the Original Trilogy. We got to see the BTL-B Y-Wing starfighter during the Clone Wars series, as a mainstay of the Republic Navy. When it was confirmed that LEGO will only release a microfighter for Captain Rex in 2024, I was greatly disappointed like everyone else. At the time, there were no appropriate sets to do a decent alternate build for the Clone Wars Y-Wing, as a lot of round bricks are required to build its two long ion jet engines. Fast forward to 2025, the Rebel U-Wing from the Andor show, the best Star Wars TV show to date, not only gave me my first Stinger Mantis model, but it would also give me my first Y-Wing in the 501[sup]st[/sup] color way. The wedge-shaped cockpit module was placed on the front of the craft, which the central spar extending behind it. The two large ion jet engines in nacelles were carried by a cross wing. I hoped that the four brick-built round engine nacelles from the U-Wing was enough for the long ion jet engines, but they were not… I tried a few different methods to lengthen the engines by a few plates, the two engines were still slightly too short for my liking. 2x6 wedge plates created the engine wings leading to the main body of the craft. Due to the short engines, I needed to shorten the cockpit to balance the ship out, the tail gunner position was left out, leaving just the pilot seat and astromech socket like what’s on the X-Wing. The two forward firing laser cannons shared the same design from the U-Wing. The hull plating was done by slopes and tiles, a back hump was built to house multiple systems, such as hyperdrive and shield generator. I maximized the use of blue pieces to get the white and blue pattern. Greebling was used to decorate the tail end of the Y-wing. The main body module was mainly plate built, with brackets on the sides. This makes a very solid model and great for swooshing around when holding the body; the back end of the long engine nacelles is connected by 4 studs which make them easier to knock off. This model is the perfection alternate build starship for the 2024 Captain Rex minifigure. Instructions are on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/220254

Fair points, tried my best with this alt.

Awesome mod, plus love the quality of your photoes.

After around 50 Star Wars MOCs, I finally did my first Stinger Mantis, another alternate build from the 75399 Rebel U-Wing. To be honest, I am not really a gamer thus didn't play the Fallen Order or Survivor, but looking at models from fellow designers like Codyander and Zsoltom made me study and design this ship. The Stinger Mantis is an luxury yacht which acted as the transport and home for its crew, one notable member being Jedi Cal Kestis. The Stinger class used a asymmetric rotating wing design, with a large fin counterbalancing an outrigger engine pod. The entire front of the cockpit was a framed glass canopy, created by a trans-clear panel on hinge plates. Dual laser cannons were located in the bow, above the cockpit. The grey centreline section has the greebling with a trans-clear tile acting as a top-view window. Behind the cockpit there are folding doors on ball joints where you can open up to put a minfigure inside, it's a tight fit where the minifigure will need to lay back really low. Ideally, each folding door should be connected on two joints, but I needed two for the outrigger engine connection, so I used additional horizontal opening ball plates to support the doors while they are closed. The curved and cutout slopes formed the edges of the top panel, leading to the bulky white paneled section, I also used various slopes to build up this section. The outrigger engine pod's wing frame was made using technic beams and bricks, connected by ball joints and can rotate to both landing and flight positions. Overlapping plates are used to prevent this wing from disconnection due to play. With the piece limitations, the large fin was built independently, on its own hinge plate connection, I tried to recreate the yellow, blue and grey patterns on both sides. It can fold down to horizontal position, but not rotate on the same plane of the outrigger engine. Finally the back section with two thrusters are connected to the front section via overlapping plates and long technic axles, simple but solid. You can pick up the model from the centre white panels and the back thrusters and swoosh it around with no problems. The edge curved slopes can be knocked off easily, and the single connection side doors tend to be pushed into wrong positions if you don't pick it up from the centre white panels. A tall stand was built from round bricks to display the model in flight mode, this model will display nicely alongside other mid-scale Star War ship.

haha, thanks, the yellow really pops, you can remove one plate of height, but it gets mostly buried.

Following the successful launch of the Rebel Z-95 Headhunter, I decided to follow it with an E-Wing, as I can make use of designs utilised in the Z-95. The E-Wing was notable for being the first fighter designed entirely under the rule of New Republic, intended to match and exceed the performance the preceding X-Wing in every respect, and replace the older designs in the New Republic service. However, despite being a more advanced design, no starfighter can achieve the same popularity of the famous X-Wing. I started the design with shortening the nose, there is a minimum length that needs to be due to the tapering from hinge plates. The nose cone was reduced to two studs, and the windscreen was moved forward by one stud. Proportionally, the back section, which housed the power and deflector-shield generators should be similar length to the nose. Next thing I worked on is how to hang the two engines on the wings, my initial attempt wasn’t strong enough for my liking, and redesign took more time than I expected. In the end, a very strong four studs connection on brackets was used. Once the connection point was worked out, the rest of the engine pods and wings progressed quickly. 1x4 slopes look great for wing struts, and pin hole plates with a technic pin on top looks like a fake connection. In reality, the wings are connected on two towball sockets each, their angles are set by the studs from the brackets on the fuselage and a 2x8 white plate on the belly of the fuselage to prop it up. The bent wingtips is achieved by a towball connection with a bracket setting the angle. A plate built yellow and black astromech sat behind the cockpit, and twelve cutout slopes are used to create the shape of the back fuselage, with grilles and tiles for greebling. I built a small stand using spare round bricks which is tall enough to stand the E-Wing without the engines touching the table. After putting all the sections together, the wing connections are strong enough to hold the entire E-Wing up by itself. One area of weakness is the connection for the bent wingtips, the overall model is very solid and thus very swooshable, you can hold it anywhere on the fuselage. Its distinctive and battle-worn blend of white, grey, blue, and yellow gave the design a grounded, authentic feel appropriate for a frontline fighter. This cool E-Wing starfighter will make another fine addition to any LEGO Star Wars collection. Instructions are on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/220701

The Z-95 has a long history of seeing active service from before the Clone Wars to the New Republic, as a part of my Blue Squadron Rebel Ships from 75399, I decided to design a Z-95 Headhunter based on Bode Akuna's ride from Jedi Survivor. It makes total sense for an upgraded Z-95 to be a part of Rebel fleet as a light-weight counterpart to the legendary T-65 X-Wing, just like the F-16 and F-15 in the USAF. My Z-95 would share many common components with the X-Wing, like the windscreen, engines and laser cannons, its wings has non-swept leading edge and swept trailing edge like the X-Wing, without the complications that comes with the movable S-foils making it cheaper to build and simpler to maintain. The wingtip laser cannons so iconic for the X-Wing and Z-95, I started with just using the U-Wing 's design, but they are too short, I tried to explore other options before settling on that. Luckily there are two 12 stud long axles remaining after two were used on the engines, I connected them on pin hole pieces and my Z-95 now has two imposing cannons! I managed to create a taper on the Z-95 nose using hinge plates, going from 2 studs to 4 studs wide. Brackets with tiles and curved slopes formed the fuselage sides along the cockpit, leading up to the back hump where the hyperdrive and power generator are housed. I am getting pretty good at using various slopes and bricks in building up fuselages. The engine pods are an evolution of the U-Wing design, the technic pins connect the wings through the engines. Due to the brick built engines I can place a 2x4 plate to connect each engine to the fuselage, this removed the wing sag issue that comes with only connecting via technic pins. This also helps to make the overall model even more sturdy, pick up from the core and swoosh it around like you are an ace! I used the Blue Leader's X-Wing from Rogue One has the inspiration for the colour scheme, Its distinctive and battle-worn blend of white, grey, blue, and yellow gave the design a grounded, authentic feel appropriate for the Rebels. A little stand was built from round bricks to display the model. I really love how this model turned out, the windscreen, cannons and choice of colours just works so well. This could be the first Z-95 I keep in my collection instead of disassemble it for a another model. Instructions are on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/220440

Thank you, the windscreen worked alright. The doors can't move.
