I just bought the instructions (3.0) for this, undoubtedly, awesome build! Maybe I've missed something, but if I would want to build the alternative (Death Star) engine version, without buying redundant bricks (ISD_Parts_List_1.0.xml + Needed Extra Pieces for Edit.xml?), an xml that has only the necessary bricks seems to be missing.

Very nice! I'd love to see it with greebles and of course finished paneling! :) That looks amazing! :D

My minor mods of Jerac's superb A-Wing design:

I've incorporated the big hatch from Jerac's original TIE-Fighter design (I love your work!) and made a few other minor modifications. The difficulty I had replacing only a few parts from Jerac's design, made me appreciate the design even more! The two black 1x1 modified bricks with headlight in the first picture need to be replaced with a 1x2 technic brick with holes, followed by a 1x2 bracket, two modified 1x1 plates with clips vertical and two bars with mechanical claws, to which the hatch can be attached.

This collage looks familiar

Wow @ScottishDave, now that's what I'm talking about! Fantastic! You seem to have made improvements to the docking rings (of which I am, off course very curious). I had started modifications to the top (TESB instead of your Star Wars version), but the project has stranded with the purchase and renovations of a house (which will finally have a Lego room). Your thorough modifications on the exterior (most people are working on the interior or engine) inspire me to continue the work on my Falcon :) I still have to reinstall LDD (although I preferred STUDIO, because it had a more accurate availability of parts), but a quick look at the photos of your mods have provided some eye openers/must-haves. The vents, and engine bay, wow! The ingots on the nose, off course! The treasure chest covers on the mandibles, why didn't I think of those! The "roundness" of the main hull is something for later I guess; this seems to involve a complete rebuild...

@Noob91 Here you go :) Technic, Steering Wheel Small, 3 Studs Diameter, Item No: 2819 is the key to this. Again, this is based on James Shields' design.

@ScottishDave The individual plates can hinge freely around the steering wheel. They are kept in place by the side of the Falcon. So if you were to take the port off, the plates would rotate, but not fall off.

@Noob91 I used a 2-axle, although it should be a bit longer for extra stability. Not sure what you mean by the arm pieces in 1x2 plates

Finally stage 2 of my 75192 TESB MOD is finished! :D Mandibles, sides and docking rings. The docking rings are based on James Shields' design. Now onto the rest of the monster...

I'm running Windows 10 and keep getting the error "an app on your pc needs the following windows feature: .NET framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)", I've tried to switch it on via Control Panel but it doesn't work. (Update: creating a Windows 10 install USB now...) (Update 2: that's not working either; I guess I will have to do it manually)

Hi Everyone, Great topic! I've been spending more time on modding the pit contents (which are random in 75192) and and mandible sides to the TESB version, than actually completing the original kit by now :D Everything I've done so far is in LDD. What's the best way forward, exporting to Excel and easy order via BrickLink? Cheers, Frenk512
