  1. There is a working hovercraft that runs on 9v motor and a technic axle frame with plastic sheets. It barely glides, too heavy itself to carry payload. Go watch it on youtube !
  2. I like the LAAT/i more because it drop off the clones everywhere. LAAT/c is cool too, love the scene in AOTC where it separate from the AT-TE and within seconds the AT-TE gets blown up by the separatist droid army. For the Lego comparison its too early to judge as none of us played with the Dropship yet.
  3. Very nice town ! I like it very much as if I can feel its' coming alive !
  4. Added some lines, republic insignia, and the galactic basic for "wampa" My first time doing this, a little tricky to print at the exact pixel and millimeter length. Glued a second layer of paper to make it thicker so it can hook onto the white plate. Hi-Res http://tinyurl.com/decal-final
  5. Here is an idea of what i meant in the previous post. The whampa picture is copy&paste and rotated. The shade of white is uneven as it is ripped from a photo not digital scan. (photo taken by Ace from fbtb) I really hope you can finish up the nose and chin of the whampa. Thanks in advance. ****EDIT**** I Tried the magic eraser tool in photoshop, now it looks much better Much improvement still needed. Below are the links for higher resolution. http://tinyurl.com/areevc http://tinyurl.com/buvhkv Thanks to Rayman for the template.
  6. Hi Rayman, Can you please make a decal of the wampa for us ? I would love to print it out and use it on my republic gunship. http://www.flickr.com/photos/no_onions/3281041867/sizes/l/ Thanks !
  7. Set#: 7180 Name: B-wing at Rebel Control Center Theme: Star Wars Year: 2000 Pieces: 338 Price: RRP USD$30 Peeron Bricklink Brickset Bought this MISB from online auction around 2004, opened this set in 2006, unknown original local retail price. Onto the review ! Here is the box, old style with cardboard tray inside. Side of the box, notice the seal is still intact. Back of the box with alternate models. Instructions cover Random instuction page Notice on the top center of very page, there is a screenshots of the actual ROTJ movie. It shows the HomeOne going into hyperspace and arriving near the DS2 ambush,Adm Ackbar & Mon-Mothma, B-wings flying and rebel pilots fried in the cockpit and ends abruptly with the DS2 exploding followed by celebration. A very nice touch from TLG. Last in the booklet are 3 pages of comic featuring the alternate builds and their breif instructions in photo form. (I didn't take pictures of that. ) Here are the figures, B-Wing pilot in generic smiley face with rebel technician and R5-D4. Note that the original cockpit only had a printed tiled control but i doubled it and now it is slightly higher. Full set with the intact wheel-of-tools. The B-wing have nowhere to land or dock unlike the newer version. Comes with a repair vehicle with circular saw mounted on a clicky hinge arm, towing a cargo sled. The cockpit swivels true to the movie but Im sure everyone of us know that. This old version is much more slim and skeleton that the newer redesign. B-wing showing us her balancing skill. Rear Engines attached with SNOT Hinged secret compartment ! Fits a full minifig inside. The rebel base is hinged to unflold or compact for easier storage. A drum of fuel and working blast-doors to protect the interior incase the B-wing blows up in the hangar. White minifig chair on 2x2 turnable with DeathStar and Endor forest moon sheild projection hologram. Finally ending with a simple doorway with clips for a walkie-talkie and electrobinoc Here is a better view of the front blast-door. There are 2 control panels to key in the password for access. Pull the 2 round 1x1 cylinder to open the blast-doors. The doors run on a rail on top, it runs smoothly but jams when you pull or push too hard or too fast. Rebel Technician on his vehicle. The bottom of each section is 4 black 2x2 smooth bottomless boat plates for gliding on surfaces. Both section connected with towball connection. Control is just a simple lever and a dial. Why i call it cargo sled ? Because R4-D5 can sit ontop ! There are even 2 fence on either side to keep him from falling off. A master and dog relationship and a closer look at the death star hologram. Knock Knock ! Who's there ? R5-D4 fits through the door. Price: 8/10 - Reasonable price Parts: 8/10 - Cool windscreen, very stiff old clicky hinges, laser cannon pieces, PRINTED PARTS, deathstar hologram, wheel of tools Minifigures: 9/10 - Before 2006 this was one of the few sets that had the R5-D4 unlike R2 which is everywhere. rebel pilot with very cool torso and printed helmet, rebel technician is good as we have many pilots who damage their starfighters but not many know how to fix them. Build: 7/10 - 1 plate wide for the body of the B-wing is too thin, but thats understandable as its only the 2nd year of Lego StarWars. Playability: 8/10 - light and swooshable, rebel base with moving features, repair cart doubles the fun Overall: 8/10 - a classic before lego turned to light-blueish-grey, very nice boxart and instruction booklet Hope You Enjoyed This Review.
  8. I think the "mystery black stick" is what you PULL to launch the a-wing off a catapult on a aircraft carrier.
  9. Dip and wash gently in soapy water, leave it for a few minute then rinse. Dry it with tissue or hairdryer, remember to be gentle. Put a hankercheif ontop and iron it. Press under a few heavy books for a few days if you like.
  10. Vader reunites with his 2 favourite droids, R2D2 & C3PO Together they form the mythbusters trio After Vader exhausted his physical energy, he wonders what is the best way to crack open a rock with goldium crystal inside Jack hammers powered by R2D2 ? or the good old dynamite ? R2D2 taking a huge risk while the Tatoonine-Born duo hides behind their signature "bulletproof-glass"
  11. Thanks for the tip ! I will do that later with my limited parts, really need to shrink my oversized rotor hub. *edit* borrowed the blades from coast guard heli, its too big and long for play, will shrink it back. now the hub looks more pleasing, more tight. Thanks ***edit* final version compact and easy to play as i like it
  12. I have looked at quite a few helicopter MOC on Brickshelf, and i dont understand how they did the 5-bladed rotor (penta-rotor). Ive googled for instructions to make this but to no avail. TLG only make 2-3-4-6 blades for their helicopter, and 5 is a weird shape no official set or simple prop part can make. Search for Hind pictures for some examples. In most of the pictures the propellor shaft connection is well hidden, but i saw this wheel piece in one of them. So I mimicked it and made this. (the trick is to fill only 5 of the 6 holes in the wheel piece, its not a perfect penta-rotor but its pretty close. Because its not secured, the angle will shift away as you play it.) Give me some comments and/or any better method to do it. Hope this will come in handy for others who like to build aircraft.
  13. I have a unglued MF box but the middle flap is gone.
