billyamy Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) still waiting for the White color parts. Edited October 28, 2015 by billyamy Quote
samlr Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 It looks like a smaller version of the 10212. Nice mod :-) Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Looks great! I tried for hours and thought it impossible to replicate the 10212 cockpit design for minifig scale. But kudos to you! I want to do pretty much all the mods you did here at some point, I'm just too lazy to get around to it but I also have other projects so I'll use them as my excuse. Quote
Mymaker123 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Very nice, the inside of the wings is the reason I didn't get this set because of how ugly the inverted studs looked, but this SNOT technique looks drastically better. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Right, thanks to this I now need to go out and buy a shuttle just to mod it like this! Great job! Quote
billyamy Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) 1x3 go through the wing to hold the slope The cockpit First design pic Edited November 5, 2015 by billyamy Quote
lowlead Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Liking the cockpit design! Clearly the '10212' method using the white corner pieces works a lot better in this scale. I always thought using a stack of three resulted in way too much taper for the UCS version, but using only two rows yields a much better look with this mod. The second to last photo above really captures the smooth lines of this design - nicely done! Quote
billyamy Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 just do another little change to the door joint, top edge and the back Quote
ArchieNov Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I like how you did your wings. Would you be able to share the breakdown (like what you did for the cockpit)? Thanks! Quote
billyamy Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Maybe this pic can help: Not all the bricks are locking together with technic beam. Those color bricks are 1x1 technic brick with hole (only one is white) I use friction pin Edited November 7, 2015 by billyamy Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Nice, took a normal set and made it look like a UCS set, well done. Quote
belkor Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Great mod, the cockpit finally looks like the real thing. Does anyone know what the part number is for the black curved pieces used for the edge of the windshield? Many thanks :) Quote
Hold0511 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Black curved pieces look like http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6191#T=S&C=11&O={"color":"11","ss":"UK"} Quote
billyamy Posted July 19, 2016 Author Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) WA! This old post coming up again! Actually, I don't know how to search my own post. Thx Hold 0511, you are right, it's 10314 Edited July 19, 2016 by billyamy Quote

ModeRed Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 Just stumbled upon this, mods look brilliant - and I like that you’ve kept the interior. Did you have instructions for the changes? Quote
