If you want the Darth Malak figure, but dont need the buildable R2, i've got some options for you :) Exactly 6 for now, but working on some more ideas :) 

2 dropships, both can carry official the AT-TE, sturdy playsets. One is for r2 minifig, the other needs 1 windscreen, and can be used by any minifigs

Insturctions:

- R2-D2's Personal Republic Dropship
- 501st Legion Republic Dropship

My newest alt is a gunship, needs 2 windscreen pieces, can fit in 2 pilots and at least 12 minifigs with full gear in the back, sturdy playset

Instructions:- 501st Legion Republic Gunship/LAAT

slightly bigger than the official fighter tank, but can fit a lot more figs in there (~8), turrets rotate and can keep their weight, sturdy playset. + a speederbike 

instructions: - 501st Legion TX-130 Saber Fighter Tank

 

unnamed mandalorian, or bobas prototype which never made in to the movies, but exists. The size is exacttly the same as the official helmet collections, i recreated the official base-dimensions.

Instructions: - Boba Fett's Prototype Helmet

Separatist MTT can carry a lot of droids, working front and back hatch, 1 pilot in the top

instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-188037/zsoltom/separatist-mtt-75379-alternative/#details

Stinger mantis from 75379 + 75348 )only the fang fighter's pieces are used)

I have a fun little freebie clone minifig display alt as well: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-183006/zsoltom/clone-platoon-minifigure-display/#details

Some more alts-mods incoming in the near future, but i am open for any suggestions, if you think something might be possible to build from this set, let me know please, and i will give it a go :)

Looks like a fun rebuild, R2 getting a makeover! I think your third picture has an issue though, brick not found?

thanks, it is fun, and now even has a second model too, if you add in a windshield piece into the mix its a bit closer to the real thing :)

 

Originally i started this post for my dropship alts from this set, but now i have 5, and more on the way, and i dont want to spam the forum with each, so i updated it :) 

Let me know what you think of them :) 

Brilliant work here.

alt #7 is done, this time a separatist MTT! :P

That MTT looks great, it reminds me of one I'd made digitally a while ago, but your's is made more impressive considering the self imposed handicap of only using parts from this one set.

I love these! The gunship is especially impressive and I’m now wondering if I can justify buying R2 after all just to build one of these for my fleet instead. More please? Maybe an ARC-170?

thx, i think getting the set should be justified by now ;) From this set alone the arc is not doable, since the r2 set contains practicly 0 wedge plates, and thats a huge limitation especially for a ship with 6 wings :D

The next model i will start working on in a few days will be a z-95 headhunter, it just might be possible and acceptable, and have some more ideas to check out, but im open for suggestions, even outside from star wars :)

Thanks, I'm afraid there are no instructions as I will need to modify it slightly in order for it to built IRL ( this is because LDD offers no useful up to date colour checking so for the 'wishlist mocs' I decided to ignore colour matching entire. I do plan on building some of them IRL ( starting with the trident class assault ship) but it will be a lengthy process as I need to check each part's available colours on Brickset and then recolour or replace the part accordingly.)

The trident class assault ship I intend to turn into the imperial version from JFO 2 as parts in grey are both more abundant and cheaper than in earth orange. For the MTT the only part that I know (off the top of my head ) will need replacement is the grey windscreen used for the bump at the top.

Stinger Mantis in da house! This time i added in the fang fighter from set 75348 (nothing is needed from the tie interceptor) for the nice selection of wedge plates, which complement very well the r2's pieces.

More pictures, instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-190634/zsoltom/stinger-mantis-75379-75348-alternative/#details

- custom brickbuilt bd-1

- wings rotate

- interior

-sturdy, playable, displayable, tested irl

I might do some more alts from theese 2 in the near future :)

The Mantis turned out so good i couldn't disassemble it for a while, but eventually it had to happen, for i have been planning a Z-95 headhunter for a while :D

By default i built the cockpit for an R2 minifig, but you can swap it for a 92276 windshield and put in any minifig (all helmet sizes fit)
