Does anyone have any advice on attaching the side panels? I can get the pins in but I can’t attach it to the modified plates on the side.

I removed the 2x16 plate and it went right into place. The tiles are a bit wonky but overall it’s secure. I think I’ll see how this plays out and modify it more if I need to

Gotcha! Thanks so much for the reply and I’m going to try that out when I get home and get back to you.

Hello I don’t know if anyone else has had this issue but I’m having trouble aligning the panels on the bottom of the shuttle. The instructions say they should snap into place but when it snaps the plates with pins separate. I don’t understand this step so any help would be appreciated!

Yeah it was a beast, in between working it took me about three weeks to finish it. It took a couple of retries because there's a technic and brick frame that secures all the panels that is pretty hard to get just right:) Other than that it was a pretty easy build! I agree, there were some really great ships in the sequel trilogy that got overlooked because of how off and on the movies are. Knights of Ren were the coolest idea of the sequel trilogy that amounted to nothing lol. I couldn't upload pics so I put it in a drive with some other stuff: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WNqk2uzT5J1Bp4P_0JOYRkwMxmH7UngC?usp=sharing

Yeah! I used BnP when I built Brickbob's Night Buzzard and it saved me a lot of money. I forgot about that. I'm gonna try what you suggested and start gathering the more expensive parts and then work from there. Thank you!

I am currently gathering parts for this and I started out by pulling parts from my personal collection. I have counted about 3,000 parts so far and the remaining parts cost about $1200 on bricklink. Out of curiosity I did a price check on the original amount for the base inventory and it was about $1200 anyway. I do not understand how 3000 parts are technically worthless in bricklink's algorithm. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. Also a lot of the parts I have are some of the more expensive parts.

Are there any decent alternatives for part 49612 Dome Top? There aren't many available in the world and they're going for no less than $20 a piece. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Really excited for this one.

Hello! I was wondering if there was any update on the availability of the instructions? Thanks!

Hello! I am looking to purchase the instructions, but I am unable to PM you because I have no posts. Please get back to me when you have time! Best, Matt Hopson

Hello! I just joined Eurobricks so I cannot send PMs yet, but I sent you an e-mail to purchase the manual. I am not sure if you got it but please let me know when you can. Best!

Hey, just a quick reminder as I know how busy life can be. Whenever you have time when you get back, please send me the pictures of the inside of the wings if possible. I started constructing my model and I really think my wings would look much better with studs facing outward on both sides. My email is llnino74l@gmail.com. Thanks again!

That would be great! I'd really appreciate it.

Hello, do you have any pictures of the frame of the wings? I'm making a moc of my own and I'm trying to figure out how to make the plate studs facing outward on both sides. My email is llnino74l@gmail.com if you can send it.

What was your method for making the wings plated on both sides

Oh okay, we'll that sounds really cool! I'll for sure be looking out for it. Ever since I got Lego's model I've been waiting for a more accurate one. Thanks for the reply:)

Hello, just wondering if you made an instruction manual or a LDD file for it? Please get back to me whenever you can.
