[MOC] Obi-Wan's Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor

[khatmorg]

Hey peeps,

I finally got my hands on the new Obi-Wan so I thought it was time to show off my Delta-7 MOC!

I bought the mini for the droid but the plaque sure came in handy!

Landing gear deployed.

Grrr flying is for droids!

Obi-Wan climbing in to have a look at Anakin's GPS location.

A closer look at the controls and Obi-Wan's uncomfortable looking seat.

Ambushed by destroyer droids!

There's some more pictures of the Delta-7 located on my Flickr if you're interested. I hope you enjoyed, thanks for looking!

[Edit]

I've recreated the model in LDD from which you can generate instructions, download it Here.

Incomparably prettier than the original one. It's measured and smooth, the original one wasn't.

[Only Sinner]

This is wonderful! Do you have an instructions or a partslist? I want to build this so much.

Thank you! I've attached uploaded the model made in LDD here, you should be able to make instructions and a parts list if you select "Generate HTML building guide" in LDD. Enjoy!

It is really great! I can see you mastered some good tecniques!

I especially like the back and what you did with the brackets!

Just one small complaint: it looks a bit too long?

Keep up the good work!

[khatmorg]

Yeah it is too long, the wedge shape is supposed to be more angular but I couldn't create that with the current selection of wedge plates. It's supposed to be about as long as it is now without the nose. I could try a solid wing version but I like my LEGO creations to look like LEGO, studs and all! =P.

Awesome and very well detailed for a such small scale :thumbup:

[Leewan]

Excellent MOC, I love it !

[TheRealDickDastardly]

I really love this, when I get round to it I'm going to bricklink the parts. Have you considered submitting it to LEGO ideas?

[r5-j2]

people laugh when I say I`m into Lego, but they just don`t get how creative Lego builders can be. This is a fantastic build and proves that "less definitely is more"

Thank you. Honestly other than sharing your creation with a perhaps greater audience (which isn't LEGO ideas' original intent), I don't think submitting Star Wars MOC's have any chance of getting made into a set seeing as how they conflict with their ongoing license with Disney. They might make their own version, but I doubt it will be ever based on a MOC submitted.

Hi khatmorg, I want to say thank you for providing the instructions for this. I built it a long time ago and lost the link!

I agree with you, your model is too complex and far too good to be an official set.

This is without a doubt the best JSF I have built.

[atlas]

hey there. I built this about a year ago, it's really great. I have been playing with it for about the last month and can't wait to show some photos once I've got the final parts subs.

[jhaelego]

Wow this is awesome. You took some great pictures of it too.

EDIT: I just took a look at the LDD file that you uploadded and all I can say is WOW. This moden is phenomenal. I will definitely be building it.

Excellent - looks good, it's going to be added into my BL to do list.

[khatmorg]

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

This is a great build! I like the D-7 Starfighter very much, but was disappointed by the official version. The UCS is nice, but I'd prefer a minifig scale model. Thank you for providing instructions! I was going to bricklink the parts, but after seeing this excellent model, and also this one I decided to try to modify it, so that it has brick build wings. I still like everything else, so kept it and just did some work on the wings. Would it be incredibly rude if I asked you for your opinion, after copying your design? I tried four or five different methods and was barely able to finish one of them, so would really appreciate some help.

[Kristof]

How did I miss this earlier... Incredible job. Thank's a ton for the file, I guess I won't resist building this lovely piece. This is probably my favourite starfighter from the whole universe any you nailed it.

[Hold0511]

Nearly finished my build of Khatmorg's excellent MOC - somehow I managed to miss the two engines of my bricklink order....it's a fun build and looks cracking.

[TyGl200]

This is even better than the one that just came out!

I honestly think that it was this MOC that inspired that set. I wish LEGO could have used the cockpit design from this MOC, the official version is much too large and out of proportion.

[TyGl200]

I wonder if TLG's Hyper Drive Ring is compatible with this.

[TheRealDickDastardly]

Hi folks, sorry to bump an old thread, but I wanted to show off the one I built. A big thanks to @khatmorg for the wonderful design and @Hold0511 for his updated parts list.

[Hold0511]

Another fine looking ship, now we need one in dark blue, dark green, orange, yellow.....

[JaCor653]

khatmorg,

I know this is an old thread, but do you think you could try to convert your Delta-7 into the twin-cockpit Delta-12?

Thanks if you do it.
