MOC UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft

[roadstermatt]

I have been modifying my lego 75155 u-wing fighter I always thought that the cockpit was too narrow as it should have 2 abreast seating and the control deck should be linked to the load / troop area hope you like it any ideas to improve are welcome

 

i used 2 x 75155 sets plus some other bits and pieces I dont have any building instructions as i built it up as i went adding and modifying from the standard instructions from 75155

@roadstermatt nice mods! Though the troop bay is still a little bit too fat.

The size comparisons with the other sets are good.

I have been thinking the same I am going to remove a layer of the bay to see how / if that will help 

 

also I was wondering if there is a reverse version of wedge / slope piece 41748 as I thought if there is I could mask some of the bulk by thickening the main hull under the wing line

Looks fantastic, but I would agree with @VaderFan2187 that the trooper bay is too bulky.

I've modified it a bit lowered the cargo troop part and added landing gear to the front and tweeks here and there bit of detailing on the upper surfaces also took some pictures with the rogue one crew

Are you attaching the bay to the main body the same way that the official set does? I've tried to mod the set to allow two seats in the cockpit but have been unsuccessful so far due to the limited width of the connection to the bay. 

[roadstermatt]

no i've attached it in a standard Lego way not using technic pieces to be honest it caused me some structure issues and some use of bad language whilst building it
