Fantastic model. It is on my short list of upcoming builds.

Anyone had an order ship in the past month? I ordered December 8th. Still in warehouse.

Anyone seem extra long shipping times for B&P orders? I'm in the US and ordered on December 8th... still hasn't shipped. These parts are supposed to be an important part of present for my son :/

Oh its not my site, I just noticed that whoever owns it, apparently @typingduck, finally updated it.

https://nostalgic-wilson-b2026b.netlify.app/index.html#selected It has been updated!!!

This is fantastic. Definitely going to implement the cockpit mods.

Does anyone know who maintains this site or how to get in touch with them... This was incredibly useful but needs updating. https://nostalgic-wilson-b2026b.netlify.app/index.html

Does anyone know who owns https://nostalgic-wilson-b2026b.netlify.app/index.html#selected Super useful site... but the parts list hasn't been updated since November... :(

Your landing gear is on point and I love that it is easily removable for flight. I may make some adjustments to my interior too.

Thank you! Thank you everyone else for the compliments and ideas. I may try to integrate a little more greebilng into the model. Instructions are in progress, it is a very tedious process in Stud.io.

It is about the same size as the Lego U-Wing

Finished! had to rework a lot of areas but I'm really happy with how it turned out. You can see the full album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectinkfish/albums/72157716814759023/with/50582872723/

Agreed on the engines, they are a tad small. I think the ones from u/TrikBrix on Reddit (top of this page) look fantastic, but you do pretty much need all new pieces.

I think I'm just about finished with my Razor Crest for now. The last thing I need to do is the landing gear. I have slimmed the front end down as showed before and completely reworked the top and rear. You will also notice that I built up the forward intake area of the engines slightly different than in the instructions. I squished the construction down a little to reduce how far forward the engines push out and to bulk them up a bit. There are also some slight modifications to the blasters to shorten them and add detail. I looked at the feasibility of widening the cockpit interior to allow for two rear seats side-by-side but couldn't find a simple solution that didn't require a full rebuild. For the forward interior, I have left out the wall that should exist between the bunk and the lavatory area so that you can access all the play features from one side and it allows for the weapon locker which was a key feature I wanted to include. In the rear cargo area I have included the mini carbon freezing chamber.

This looks fantastic. Any plans to build it? How does stability look?

I had created a separate topic the other day but thought I would just post here to keep everyone's mods in one thread. I recently finished building the Razor Crest and as with many of the official sets, the scale pretty good but there is the potential for so much more detail, cleaner shapes, etc. I have started with the front end. The first task was at the narrow down the nose to match the canopy. In order to do this I had to eliminate the technic beams. The model is very overbuilt so there isn't really a reduction in rigidity here. Once I had the nose dialed in where I wanted it I cleared out the area under the cockpit to build in the bunk and weapons locker. It took a bit to get both the bunk and weapons locker were usable, fairly accurate, and squished in enough so that the side door was still usable. Next step is to install the lavatory. Then focus on the exterior of the ship.

Thanks. Yes I am ordering parts now.

I set out to build a U-wing that had been highly customized for a small rebel intelligence / special operations team. My inspiration was both Ryder's U-wing (and Inthert's build) and this one by Adam Alpern: For scale I decided to stick with size of the official set as I already have a modified version of the official set that I am happy with and the LEGO windscreens work really well at this size. I am not a fan of built built windscreens/canopies. I decided to move the upper canopy forward to give the ship a more aggressive look. Two beefier engines have also replaced the original four. The forward skeleton wings are equipped with blasters, searchlights, and long range communication antenna. The starboard side wing holds a heavy blaster cannon pulled from a T-47 Snowspeeder Slung under the wings are two proton torpedos and a cargo container on the port side and a nano missile pod on the starboard side. Just waiting on a B&P order to build her up.
