Posted March 15, 20177 yr I recently bought the new desert skiff set, and I like it a lot more than I thought I would. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the stubby extendable catwalk (admittedly one of the cooler features of the set). I've owned the previous desert skiff (9496) for quite a while now, and I really like the hinged design of the catwalk. As soon as I had this set put together I went to work modding it. It doesn't look a whole lot different, but the changes required I remove much of the bottom detail, which is unfortunate. With the mods, it's a full two studs shorter in length, has two hinged catwalks (one on either side), additional railing detail, a hinged compartment "lid," and a raised driver platform. I'm not quite finished, but I'm out of spare parts for now. Desert Skiff [MOD] Thoughts and criticism are always appreciated! Thanks for lookin'! JB Edited March 15, 20177 yr by The Cartographer
March 15, 20177 yr Ooh, that with the droid arms looks like a nice and simple mod! Might have to do that to mine when it arrives
March 16, 20177 yr Nice one, but I would place the 2 stud MF standing area at the very end of the catwalk, and make all the smooth tiles the same colour. But that's just me!
