I just finished bricklinking a 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle - the last order arrived today. Obviously, I plan to modify it. I'm hoping to add: - motorised wings - boarding ramp - folding (motorised?) landing gear For one extra wish, I'm also hoping to cram in an interior: but as I have not yet passed the advanced course in trans-dimensional engineering, I may have to settle for just the motors. I recall that back when the shuttle was released, there were a few people on this forum who were planning to put in motors... has anyone done so? Would they be willing to share construction pictures? Also, does anyone have any other good mods for this set? As a starter for ten, I have found some nice mods already: All studs replaced by tiles. It's an easy win, so I'm doing this first! Cockpit shortened and heatsink/grille added under nose. I'm not convinced by making the nose shorter, but the grille under the nose looks really good. Lowlead's engine mods. Much, much better! DMAC's Imperial Shuttle - not so much a MOD, as the original AFOL design which Lego based the UCS model on: but it contains some good ideas. (BTW, before anyone gets too excited: Lego used DMAC's design by agreement, it was all very friendly. ) On a similar vein, Cavegod's model, which he based on DMAC's... BTW Cavegod, if you are reading this: I know you recycled your model, but do you happen to have pictures of the internal workings of the landing gear mechanism? it looked really cool, and I bet it would fit the UCS kit. Thanks in advance!
