Posted July 14, 20168 yr Hey guys, As many of you i was quite disappointed when i finnally built my own 8039 Venator. I didn't want to rebuild it completely from scratch so i did only some changes to improve external appearance and change internal layout. This is the result (for now probably final): All the DGB bricks replaced with LBG and hull plating finished Palpatine's office move to the back of the ship and replaced by hangar with WIP custom mini V-19 Torrents: Former pilot positions now serves for Jedi meetings (even though it's quite tight): I removed the terrible gun and put inside bridge with trenches, armory and barracks/canteen instead: Well that's it. Thanks for watching! Edited July 14, 20168 yr by sahidko
July 15, 20168 yr Nice work, looking good. Now all Palpatine needs is a little ejection flap to dispose of any failing minions given he is at the back....
July 17, 20168 yr Author Cool, pretty good use of the limited space in there. Thanks! Yes the space is really limited. Originally i wanted to make the trenches deeper but unfortunately there is not enough height in that place. Nice work, looking good. Now all Palpatine needs is a little ejection flap to dispose of any failing minions given he is at the back.... Thanks! Haha good idea, will think about it. :D Great job ! All the little sketches are lovely, this is very smart ! Thanks a lot! Excellent mod! so much better both inside and out then the original! Thank you, in that case i was successful. :)
July 17, 20168 yr Excellent mod! I was wondering if it is possible to put in some greebling between the top and bottom hulls? I think that would add to the sense of scale of the ship.

Yes i think you are right. I actually experimented with greebling a little bit but using only parts i currently own i didn't like the final result and took it down. I may try again later though. :)

December 13, 20168 yr This shows how tiny the space inside is. This ship really needed to be bigger. Granted, more expensive too, but it's supposed to be a Capital Ship. Nice mods though, I can see you tried your best to make this ship... viable to some extent, but I feel you can't really fix this unless you completely start it over and make it at least 2-3x bigger.
December 13, 20168 yr It does look better. How did you do this part? did you lower the "hood"? It always sat high to me...

Yes i removed the original opening mechanism. Now the hood is only resting on two 1x1 bricks. Nothing super sturdy but enough for display purposes.

Well who said that being a Jedi is easy. :D I don't think it is accurate but looking at the model it would be probably easier to build it from scratch than trying to mod it.
