Veynom

This is truly a sleek and nice DX9. Very well done.

Thanks. Display is not so difficult as can easily add some black 1x8 slopes at the bottom and it will provides a stable support. for the wing.

I tried for the top dish, but ultimately, I preferred to go with the disymetry. Moreover, the large hatch forces to add a front support at the joint with the cockpit window. This makes it more difficult to add or remove the pilot. Less playable. As for the other dish, you're right and I forgot. :) Thank you all for the nice comments about this flying anomaly.

And here comes a rare variant from the famous TIE-Fighter, the TIE Expérimental M1 which first appeared in the old X-Wing Alliance video game. For this variant, the famous TIE concept is inverted: instead of having one pod surrounded by 2 wings, we have 1 central wing surrounded by 2 TIE cockpit pods TIE Experimental M1 by Veynom, on Flickr I used many bricks from the 75211 set as this set provides a good chunk of what I needed. The only real challenge was to create a sturdy double wing to support the 2 pods. TIE Experimental M1 by Veynom, on Flickr Once the wing is done, it is all about symetry but not completly still.

A not-so-serious MOC made as entry for a BeLUG (Belgium Lego User Group) contest: here is my TIE-Separator: TIE-Separator by Veynom, on Flickr Instructions are now available on https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-186187/Veynom/tie-separator TIE-Separator by Veynom, on Flickr Yes, we had to use any brick separator as part of our MOC. I used 32 of the current orange version. This MOC ended up second out of 26 entries, behind an elegant green grasshopper.

Thanks! I have added a link toward the LDD I used as basis for this MOC. Please note I did not reproduce the inside and I made quite some modifications compared to the LDD. Thank you. Link to the LDD has been added to the original post.

After getting an almost complete MTT 7662 set, I started building and as some bricks were missing, I also started modifying. It is a very nice set, with a nice size. It has become a bit obsolete by today's construction standards but it remains impressive. I thus decided to slightly improve it and remove a few other details that were buggering me. MTT (Multi-Troop Transport) by Veynom, on Flickr I decided to eradicate apparent studs and make this MTT stud-less. I wanted also to improve the bottom part of the transport as well as the various opening panels. MTT (Multi-Troop Transport) by Veynom, on Flickr Details have been added here and there as a kind of subtle greebling. MTT (Multi-Troop Transport) by Veynom, on Flickr The rear upper side has been rounded and more in line with the source material. The ending result is more massive. The front side also got a new lifting and some colouring alignment. MTT (Multi-Troop Transport) by Veynom, on Flickr The rear side is probably my favourite part. A detailed bumper highlights the model, the opening hatch is more realistic and detailed. Curves have been slightly tiles, smoothed and/or underlines. MTT (Multi-Troop Transport) by Veynom, on Flickr Of course, I made sure that all play features were maintained. Everything can be opened as before but when closing the panels, gaps have been minimised.

MTT in the field by Veynom, on Flickr I find it pretty as a lorry. :)

Very nice little MOC full of delightful details. And special thanks for the instructions.

Thank you for the nice words. And I fully agree, it has a WW2 bomber style. The synchronized rear guns and the end tail make me think to the Avro Lancaster bomber. And it is because of the similarities with these WW2 heavy bombers that I decided to add nose arts and kill marks.

Thanks. The SNOT wings are easy to do. You can copy (and also improve) them just by looking at the pictures. To attach them to the body, I used modified 2x2 plates with 2 studs on side. Those plates are easy to insert behind the front wedge plate. They're holding in place thanks to the 2x4 grey tiles next to the pilot and thanks to the slope and tiles. The small bars also helps to harden the built but are not strictly necessary as 4 studs are already available for each wing. Thank you. :)

Thanks. And I agree, the standard set is already nice, even if a bit overpriced. Thank you. Feel free to copy or improve. If I may suggest another modification, replace the blue by dark red for Crimson squadron. Thanks so much!

Nice one, very appealing and comely affordable. I have a small question, is there any kind of interior or opening panels that could be used to access the inside ?

The Twi&'lek Bombshell by Veynom, on Flickr The Twi’lek Bombshell The Twi’lek Bombshell is a Slayn & Korpil B/SF-17 Starfortress heavy bomber belonging to the Cobalt Squadron of the Resistance movement against the First Order. This bomber is immediately recognizable through its distinctive nose art. Indeed, a ferocious dune lizard mouth is painted on the nose under the cockpit canopy, but the most noticeable part is a striking blue-skinned Twi’lek female sitting on a heavy bomb and painted on the bomber downward wing. Some people reported this was some kind of tribute to the defunct Jedi Master Ayla Secura. However, several other sources indicate this Twi’lek was only one of the numerous one-night bomb-run of one of the crewmen. Mystery will remain as the Twi’lek Bombshell was destroyed – and all of its crew killed – during the bombing mission on Q’Dar resulting in the destruction of the Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought Fulminatrix of the First Order Some archives could be retrieved. On one of them, we can see the Twi’lek Bombshell flying alongside another Starfortress from Crimson Squadron. This photo was probably taken shortly before its last run as 8 bombing kill marks can be seen and resistance records indicate the raid against the Fulminatrix would have been the 9th one. The Twi'lek Bombshell in space by Veynom, on Flickr Another picture shows the Twi’lek Bombshell during a bombing mission above what looks like a First Order cruiser of some kind. This one cannot be the Fulminatrix as we know all but one S/BF-17 were destroyed before reaching it. The Twi'lek Bombshell on a bombing run by Veynom, on Flickr (the above story is pure fiction mixed into canon elements from Star Wars VII: The Last Jedi .) The Twi’lek Bombshell is therefore a heavy MOD of the 75188 Resistance Bomber official set. The following modifications can be listed: The vertical wing has been made thicker by 2 plates and tiled; Nose arts (shark mouth & Twi’lek) and kill marks custom water transfers have been applied; The bomber body length has been increase by 8 studs while the hight was increased by 1 plate in order to better match the original model dimensions; The top turret has been moved backward, detailed and can now rotate; Rear guns and turrets have been detailed, taking inspiration from [URL=https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/154310-mod-bsf-17-heavy-bomber/]Gudetamago[/url] The bomber’s top received extra-detailing to closely match the original model. Forward wings have been rebuilt using SNOT. Cockpit and body inside have been detailed.

It can still bomb (and the panel can rotate to be opened and reload the bombs) and it can still land as the 75188 model. Special thanks to Muad’Brick for the original concept art of the Twi’lek Bombshell and the edited pictures.

You can use them to create trees. Don't plug the DBL part in the shooter and just create column of shooters. Then pin vegetation and other bars to complete the tree.

Nice modifications that you added to the model. I am also modding my Bomber and will reuse your trick for the turrets (trans slope & synced rotation). I currently focused my efforts on the body wing.

Simply take the instructions of the 7679 and change all colours to grey. :)

Great list. Thanks for sharing this. In top of the missing shore trooper, you also missed a shadow trooper from the TIE Crawler set 7664.

No problem. Keep me posted. ;)

The speeder is merely a recolored version from the one of the Mandalorian Battle Pack, with only a couple of very minor changes. As for the turret, maybe you mean something like this one ?

Around 1000-1200 bricks, I estimate. Based on the original LDD of 1700 bricks, minus the inside I did not do.

Files have been sent. Enjoy!

Thank you for the nice comment. And no, I will not build a Death Star around it. ;) Nice attempt. I have no LDD of this exact model but I have the original LDD which I use as basis. As I am not the original author, I prefer not posting it. However if you leave me your email address (pm or so) then I would gladly mail it to you.

Nice idea to come with new TIE designs. The first one reminds me of the TLC 9500 Sith Fury-class Interceptor set. The shape is relatively close. The second design, which is maybe my favorite as closer to the original TIE serie is similar to the TIE Oppressor (without the top wing). I like it. Would you share the LDD ? Keep them coming. :)

I finally got time to take decent pictures of my latest Imperial turbolaser turret. Turbolaser Turret by Veynom, on Flickr It is based from the design of Ismael Trabajo found on the Internet and adapted according to my stock of available parts. Turbolaser Turret by Veynom, on Flickr It is an easy build with solid rendering. It can rotate, guns can move up and down (synchronized). The turret can be open to put in to 3 crewmen inside. Kids have lot of fun with that turret and many rebels died to bring you back these pictures. Turbolaser Turret by Veynom, on Flickr Turbolaser Turret by Veynom, on Flickr And when exposing, it is massive enough to attract the eye while being a welcome change to the usual fleets of ships. Everyone asking for it, I made it public: here is a link toward the LDD of Ismael Trabajo that I used as basis for this MOC. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vaj7zQ8D8XmhPy3PowN1U9MTxkfBfc1v

And here is my latest MOC, a Gozanti-class cruiser modified for deep-space exploration of the fringes of the known Galaxy. (/U version) Gozanti in space by Veynom, on Flickr First, a quick introduction to this Gozanti spaceship. It appear briefly in the prequels and can be more extensively seen inside the Star Wars Rebels anime series. I've chosen to built the latest from SW Rebels. The most visible difference is around the wings and the reactors but also regarding the color scheme based on 2 shades of greys. However, and let's be blunt, whatever the subversion, this ship is plain ugly and by far not the most elegant from the Star Wars universe, except maybe for those (a bit like me) who consider that because it is ugly then it must be an attractive ship. TLC has already released a set about this hip under reference 75106: But, without any second thought, we may agree that this is not their best rendering of a Star Wars ship. In short, it is just ugly and the only few sections where it could have been sleek have been slaughtered by an horrible greebling. Thereofre and because it was so ugly, I decided to make a nicer less ugly version of it. The main idea was to make a model more or less 3 to 4 times bigger and thus multiplying all dimensions of the 75106 by a factor of around 1.5. The final result is this model: Gozanti/U-class Cruiser by Veynom, on Flickr A small ship of 109 studs long (89 studs with the probe). As I built it during the month of September, I decided to add a forward probe in order to reach the mythical lgenth of 100 stuffs and participate to the SHIPtember contest. It results in a version which is a bit less canon but still probable within the Star Wars expanded universe. The resulting asymmetric forward body helps in breaking the otherwise monotonous aspect of the Gozanti without crippling the ship with excessive greebling. I could have also easily added the 11 missing studs to reach the 100-stud's length but as I worked without any detailed schematics (and online pictures are often contradicting each others). And in the end, basta, you will see many Lego Gozanti without a probe but mine is unique. Gozanti nose by Veynom, on Flickr I have integrated the playability features from the original set, except the shooters and springloaders that I despise in an very imperial way. Gozanti - Zoom on the central engine section by Veynom, on Flickr When you turn the black section of the central engine, both turrets will rotate. Absolutely useless but quite fun during a fair. The TIEs can be launched exactly like in the original set. I should make larger TIEs as well. There are 7 opening panels of all kinds: cockpit, forward port side, lateral sides (port & starboard), forward roof, main body and Ackbar hatch. A friend of mine felt quite inspired by my model and created several renderings. All of these are pure digital rendering and my original MOC is indeed grey. Those pictures are just for the sake of having fun.
