[MOC] Sabine Wren's Mandalorian Fang Fighter - Alternate Build of 75362 Ahsoka Tano's Jedi T-6 Shuttle

[Wurger49]

 

The 75362 Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle replicates semicircular wings using various wedge plates, and the same level of design extends to the dark red stripe pattern adorning the upper surface of the wings. However, a noticeable drawback lies in the lack of detailing on the undersides of the wings, a somewhat undesirable oversight.

The T-6 shuttle distinguishes itself through its standout feature — the capacity to rotate its wings 360 degrees on a technic turntable while maintaining a level cockpit, effectively minimizing G-forces on the pilot. Additionally, the shuttle boasts a 360-degree firing range from its twin cannons.

Among the four included minifigures is Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian warrior first introduced in the Rebels Series. I thought it would be pretty cool to design a Fang Fighter with the same color scheme as her master Ahsoka.

The Fang Fighter presents a sleek, angular silhouette with a double delta wing design, featuring non-straight leading edges. The central fuselage accommodates the cockpit at the front and a single ion engine at the rear. The distinctive double delta wings can pivot 360 degrees, equipped with laser cannons and ion engines.

In contrast to the Lego shuttle, I elongated the nose of the Fang Fighter and aimed for matching color patterns on the underside of the wings: dark bluish gray on the wing tips and engine mounts, light bluish gray wings adorned with a dark red arrow pattern. The underside of the engines features black inverted curved slopes.

While the fighter can stably rest on a table without tipping forward, I crafted a supplementary docking rack using extra pieces, providing additional support for the nose.

Fantastic use of pieces, you’ve managed an alternate build that’s a better fang fighter than the actual fang fighter!

Hi Ron, I deeply appreciate your generous words! Receiving your endorsement is truly an honor.

I gotta say man, I've got a massive gripe with this alt build...   

....you're gonna make me drop another $80 so I can get a second copy of the set to make this! 

Your alternate/multi builds are always excellent. I'm pretty tempted to build this one, though- I'm a sucker for Mandalorian builds and this is an excellent fang fighter. It honestly looks like the intended build of the set.

Nice alternate build. I am always impressed by the designers who do alternate builds. I only do from 0.

Designing from grounds up is another level!
