IronFish Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) I was bored one day, so I decided to build the 75087 Anakin's Custom Jedi Starfighter in LDD, then, I took a copy of it, changed around some colors, and pieces, and I ended up with this UPDATE: Physical build LDD versions Update 2Update 3 Edited June 25, 2015 by IronFish Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 It looks good! There are a few bits from Anikan's Starfighter I think you could take off, but it still looks good the way it is. Your best bet for parts is to download LDD Manager, run te LFX through there, and then put the XML into Bricklink. From there, you can order all the needed parts. I hope my description is thorough enough, and great build. Quote

But I tried to keep in the same style as Anikins's starfighter kind of like how all those Clone Wars Jedi Starfighters were very similar, but what parts do you feel are unnecessary? And I'll consider LDD manager for the parts I need. Quote

And I'll consider LDD manager for the parts I need. It's less of unnecessary parts and more that the set you based it on is a loose representation of the Jedi starfighter style. The design of the tail fin isn't the same as most other Jedi starfighters (theirs is a more solid rectangle) and the tip of it is a bit long, and the cheese slopes on the end look kinda out of place. It's just my opinion though. Whether or not you change it is completely up to you. Quote

Well I'm still trying to figure out how to get the solid rectangle shape at the end of the ship, so I just have the fin, like the set it's based on. Do you know how I can get one of the flag pieces to fit into the end? Quote

Do you know how I can get one of the flag pieces to fit into the end? I would look at Sasee Tin's Starfighter. That one had the same cockpit shape as this one, and used some tiles to create the fin. It worked really well, and I'm sure that it could be made bigger and work perfectly here. Quote

Thanks, I try that out, I mainly wanted to avoid using that (IMO) ugly cockpit shape of the usual Jedi Starfighter Quote

Kelso Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) It looks good, but the cockpit seems a little high? The pictures don't seem to be working. edit: problem was on my end. Edited April 8, 2015 by Kelso Quote
IronFish Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) It looks good, but the cockpit seems a little high? The pictures don't seem to be working. edit: problem was on my end. I smoothed out the middle a little bit, I also lowered the cockpit a little as well, I'll post some pictures when I get the chance. Edited April 9, 2015 by IronFish Quote
ToaDraco Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 It looks great! Given how many rehashed vehicles we get every year, it wouldn't surprise me if we got a new Starfighter like this in the near future, maybe it could include an updated Jango Fett and a Kaminoan! I'd buy it. Quote

Terrasher Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I wish they'd remake this set so I can display is next to the UCS and the Planet Serie's ones. Your recreation of Obi Wan's jedi starfighter is very, very nice. Quote

IronFish Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I made a hyperdrive ring for it, but the scale is a little off... Quote
IronFish Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 I have gotten all the parts for it, and gotten it built, and I'll post pictures as soon as I get the chance. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I'll look forward to seeing it in real bricks, it looks great in LDD! Quote
IronFish Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 I'll look forward to seeing it in real bricks, it looks great in LDD! thanks! I made a few minor changes to it from the LDD model, and I think it looks a little better. Quote
IronFish Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Can I get a mod to remove the "LDD MOC" from the title, and just make it "MOC"? Edited June 24, 2015 by IronFish Quote
IronFish Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Done Thanks! but I already made another thread for the physical build, so now it's kind of redundant... Quote
IronFish Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 How's that? I wanted to draw attention to the physical version of the moc, so I made another thread for it, without the "[LDD MOC]" so now this thread has the same name as that one. Quote
