lowlead Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 As soon as I saw RMPs mod on Rebrickable I had to build one! The mod as pictured on the Rebrickable site can be built from one 75383 set with lots of leftover parts. The version pictured below has only a few minor additions of my own. You can still store two Dark Eye probes, but the drop function goes away. This little MOC certainly packs a punch - it really captures the overall shape, proportions and sleekness of the Scimitar in a very compact model - something I really like from LEGO these days. Thanks to ron_mcphatty for making this one far better! The basic stand instructions will apparently be added soon, but it's the same stand from his Naboo Fighter with one 1x3 brick added.

mcphatty Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 (edited) @lowlead thanks for sharing this, really pleased you liked the MOC/alternate build! What do you think of the wings? I gave up trying to give them any kind of curved shape, accuracy went out of the window too so I just added hints of details from the Scimitar that I think looked okay. The rest I'm very pleased with. The stand instructions are on Rebrickable now And here's some of my photos... Edited June 25, 2024 by mcphatty Quote
lowlead Posted June 25, 2024 Author Posted June 25, 2024 (edited) Hey there RMP! Great photos - especially the last one! My photos were taken hastily in bright ambient light on the kitchen counter with no image editing...a bit sloppy, I'll admit Being a 'vehicle-centric' LEGO enthusiast, I'm also an unapologetic fanboy of the Scimitar (I feel like there's not many of us). Back in 1999 I bought several copies of 7151 to build a better Infiltrator. All of the current builders have left me in their dust skill-wise, but I'm still inspired by MOCs like this. At this scale I think the wings look great. I always considered the bow of the wings subtle enough to be either ignored, or accomplished with plates, and still look good. And, again, at this scale I think this MOC really captures all the 'bullet points' that make the Scimitar unique. Really impressed with this one - you accomplished something I couldn't! *edit* Also - bricksafe.com! I think I'll sign up - looks like less hassle than Imgur (-=-) Edited June 25, 2024 by lowlead Quote
SteveOC Posted July 4, 2024 Posted July 4, 2024 Great MOD! I liked the set as it was but knew it could look better. Thanks for sharing the instructions too. Quote
