Im glad you went back and redid the wings to add more detailed trench greebling, I definitely think it payed off
Thanks!!
In the show the boarding ramp is located on the rotating wing (first episode when ahsoka jumps on the shuttle while its flying shows this best + the hangar in the scene after), and I think that the side door acts like an airlock and locks to the wing allowing people to get to the ramp, which means for your model a fake ramp could be the best way to go, allowing you to have both the landing gear and ramp. Also I get what you mean by the landing gear and ramp taking up the same area, the landing gear well looks as though its right behind the side airlock door
I actually came to this realization after shooting the video and I’m rethinking things!! Thanks!
@@2bricks Sounds good, Im intrigued to see the solution you come up with!
This might just be my favourite model youve done so far! And i love the reuse of the rotation function from the mantis it really fits with both now youve built more!
Yay!! Thank you 🙏
@@2bricks and damn!! You need more credit for what you do!!
15:50 There are brown Samurai swords in the Lego Ninjago Movie 71019-2 Spinjitzu Training Nya.
In its current state it looks like the ship from young Jedi adventures!!! Looks so great!
Thanks!! And yeah it does haha!
Could imagine the next challenge with the wings being that the hook on point is very much toward the front and the wings go a long way back, so that extra weight might make them sloop towards the back. Besides thinning out the back part as much as possible, could be some some balancing regained by putting more weight into the front of the wings, fill up extra empty space with plates or something to make it dense.
Anyway, I really enjoy this series, seeing the whole journey adds another dimension to when we get to build the finished design. Again a build to look forward to!
Thank you!!! Yeah I’m somewhat concerned about the back end weight but that’s one of the reasons I made the area immediately behind the collar so very dense - it needs that support to prevent sagging!
look awesome so far! Can't wait to see final design
Thank you!!
I love these progress videos you make on these amazing models, they are so incredibly creative and shows ways to build and utilize pieces in ways i dont think anyone would have ever thought. The spinning function you developed and the interior with the popup table i will never not be amazed by. Im really enjoying this series, and wish you the best of luck going forward with this project ❤❤
The side doors are actually also used in conjunction with the ramp, when the ship is landed and the wing is in horizontal position. The ramp extends from the wing itself and lines up with the left side door, so the side doors should definitely be able to open up. Just a tip :)
Thanks!! I have since also figured this out haha! It actually helps a ton!
@@2bricks I saw it in the other replies. I believe both sides of the wing have an extendable ramp on the left side when it is pointing down.
I wish I could build like this! I don't want to try to express how much I like this, because it can't be written down.
Edit: This video (series) inspired me to make a minifig scale Phantom II based on the Ahsoka show! Thanks 2bricks! I will share progress soon!
Awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know!! Did you see my phantom 2 which I did as part of my Ghost MOC?! You might like that!!
Funny, I only just watched part 1 a couple hours ago and thought that I can't wait for part 2. Looks like my wish came true straight away!
Yay!!!
Forget the bunks. U have the table and benches actually raise out of the floor. U continue to amaze me and even more so ever since u were on Bearded Brix stream and we got a chance to pick ur brain a bit. I might be 41 but I want to be like u when i grow up😂😂😂😂
Haha thank you so much!!!
Hi 2bricks. I am eagerly waiting that you shoot part 3, please come on. Cheers \m/
The Intro is sooo good!
Thank you!! I worked hard on it!
This looks like a really good MOC. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished design.
I love the shaping of the wings!
So amazing!
Seriously tho, I think u and a few other moc builders should get together and have a "how to" build station at the conventions where people can pay a small fee to sit down and learn from the best. A workshop at a Bricks&Minifigs or somewhere would be cool as well
This is going to be an epic build!
Looks amazing
Intro was soooooo coool
Thank you!!!
This looks so good you clearly do not think like a Lego designer
Haha thank you! The projects have grown more ambitious than the Fondor which kicked it all off, and that one was definitely me trying to think like a Lego designer, now it’s just whatever lol
You're making perfect moc
Weird coincidence. I saw a brown lego Katana yesterday at a friend's house and thought about never having seen one before
Wow, I just discovered your channel and I must say that I am blown away at the quality of your MOCs. This is truly an underrated channel!!
Thanks so much!! Tell your friends! Lol 😆
I'm loving the new detailed wings! The part where they transition build styles gave me inspiration to try for battle damaged tips to be able to swap out.
As usual, these vids of you breaking down the thoughts and changes are an amazing thing to see.
Excited to see how the project continues!
progress looks amazing. I really can't wait to see how all the structural needs come together with the details!
Thank you K, as always!!
It looks beautiful man. I am so, so excited for this build! It's always been one of my favorite shuttles in Star Wars, and it's a day-of-release project for sure lol I love how the wings are segmented, too. I've been tinkering with that very concept for my own larger, very very very heavy builds lol Having that hollow space makes a huge difference when reducing strain on hotspots.
Really excited with this progress. Cannot wait for the final product
I was just watching the latest Adam Savage Tested video where he goes behind the scene on that ship and the model they used for the show. You should definitely have a look at it if you haven't yet cause it gives an extended view of some of the mechanisms of the ship! As always, amazing work on the MOC. I'm looking forward to building it myself!!!
I watched it the second it came out haha! It gave me lots to think about
looks awesome
Cheers!!!
Sick build.
Thanks!!
Cool can't wait for the PFD 😊
Yehhhh!
I just found your channel a few days or maybe a week ago and I have to say I am really loving this series and also your other videos. I'm currently in the works of getting back into Lego/building blocks myself and I think this moc might be something I really want to get.
I maybe have an Idea for the table/seats, that I have not really thought through though. So, maybe you can use a long brick/plate/axle that gets pushed from back to front and hits the seats/table in a way that they go up one after the other. So the seats and the table would have some 90deg angle on the bottom, so that they get pushed up when hit by the moving element.
The Gauntlet, Kom'rk-class fighter/transport NEXT PLEASEEEEEEEE!!
I want to make one of those for sure, it might be a challenge that has to wait a little bit, at least until I’ve replenished my white collection lol, the ghost, then the LAAT and now this have wiped me out
I mean this in the nicest way and with all of my respect, but you're insane! You're such a talented designer that I'm not even surprised anymore that you can build literally anything! I don't think that this would make any sense, but maybe you could find a way that when you open the boarding ramp that the table and the benches pop up at the same time. Anywayes I'm looking forward to the end result, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much!!
It looks amazing so far, I’m excited to see the sliding door on the top of the ship and the turret once it’s up. Congratulations on getting the Millenium falcon on BrickVault!
Thank you!!!
Sick intro!!🔥🔥
Thank you!!!
Wow!
Amazing build, I hope I get to see your take on the sith fury class interceptor
I feel like eventually I have to do that one
And thanks!!
you should try implementing another small structural support at the back to hold the weight of the center section more evenly
thou it might not be totally faithful to the source material
If it comes to that I might! But I’d really like to avoid it!
I think the 2 plate thick gap looked better, it looked much smoother, now i think the greebling looks a bit overdone. The one stud thick trench is the standart, we are used to it, but it just doesn't work as well, it looks a bit cartoonish and out of proportion (in my humble opinion). Other than that, great ship!
Can I buy this one ? Cool can't wait for the PDF $$$$ 😅😅😅
For the training sword, I'd like to recommend piece 21459 in reddish brown. Would resemble rainforest wood.
Think I’ll grab a could of those
Looking fantastic! What's your advice for incorporating technic as reinforcement in your build. It would be cool if you did deep dive on how you do that without compromising aesthetic. Do you have any resources you go to when you're stumped?
I’ll take that into consideration for future videos! I don’t have any resource I go to other than just trying things over and over till they work haha
15:51 Lego made brown samurai sword in ninjago minifigures (Nya
I’m gonna get some!!
Really liking the texture on all sides of the wings, do you reckon this will be a BrickVault model as well, since you've entered that world now?
Maaaaaybe! Depends if brickvault like what they see when all is said and done ;)
Awesome build man!!! Clone wars gunship???
It’s coming soon!
I really wish I was good at greebling like you. My MOCs end up looking quite basic with bare studs and stuff. Any tips for greebling?
Correct me if I'm wrong but we ARE going to get these instructions in the end of it all correct?
@2bricks have you found a brick built lower half of the cockpit more beneficial than using a dark red half cone?
Yes! A lot more helpful! Firstly it’s a lot more sturdy, secondly I can get the windows into the design which the cone doesn’t allow for, and lastly that cone is mad expensive 😢
My wallet says no but my heart says yes!! Already such a work of art and it’s not even done yet
Thank you thank you!! And sorry about your wallet, RIP
Gorgeous set! Though I think you might've forgotten to change the title 😅
Ha!! Thanks! So I did
Would you ever consider doing a version of this shuttle that’s from the earlier seasons of 2008 Star Wars The Clone Wars? I’m only asking is because that it’s been over 10 year’s we’ve seen the older clone wars version of the T-6 Shuttle.
I think that one is lacking a little bit in terms of detail so I’m less interested in it
I see. I was just curious. Maybe in the near future if it interests, I can see it being done.
Is there any way that lifting mechanism can be a sliding element?
It’s possible! I’m toying with the best ways to achieve this end result and a slider is definitely in contention!
@@2bricks Looking forward to the next video
Cool work so far. I really enjoyed watching you demonstrate the Stinger Mantis ship from Jedi Survivor, my favorite game of 2023. I want to build that one someday.
Some constructive feedback: I noticed that the red tiles look a bit odd since they're all going the same direction. (Initially, I was going to suggest making them go diagonally, but I think that would actually be 10x more work and also wrong in general). I think the reason it looks so strange is because, the red is supposed to be a decal, and the way you have it constructed here makes it look like a protruding piece. Shouldn't it be flush in order to give the illusion that it's a painted on decal?
Also, it's a shame that the Ahsoka series sucked as much as it did. Truly an awful series. They picked the right actress for Ahsoka, but I really didn't like that series as a whole.
Speaking of which, I think it would be awesome if you branched out into non star wars territory and made a ship from a different franchise. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but if I do, I'll be sure to get back to you with ideas.
Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to purchasing your PDF instruction manual for the Stinger Mantis. I haven't done so yet because I'm poor, atm. :(
Thanks for the feedback!!
The star wars design of this ship seems so silly to me. The wings are very thick, take up a lot of profile and weight (making it vulnerable and sluggish), but what is that space used for? The engine's aren't in there, it holds no guns, no missile tubes. But it's not thick enough to hold any human presence or cargo hold.
It has no aerodynamic shape for use in atmosphere.
Its kinda just there.
You could take them off and it would literally change nothing about the capability of the ship, besides making it lighter and harder to hit.
Most star wars ship designs have some justification for their shape, even in hindsight, even if it's impractical. This one has none. It's just there because they wanted a ship with a spiny thing...
All the other ships of the same in universe makers have justifications: the B wing has guns on the tips, and had a death star like weapon. MG100 bomber holds bombs in the underside wing, the v19Torrent holds guns on the end and an engine below. And with most of these, the wings are as thin as possible when they don't hold anything useful inside.
And to be fair, the clone wars version of the ship had a lot thinner wings, it became even more nonsensical in the Ashoka show.
Its a long distance kind of ship so they probably are for any number of things:
-Stowage - I think you're seriously underestimating how much can be stored in much tighter spaces - look at WW2 tanks and planes and boats. Heck I know of a Submarine that stored all of the parts for a motorcycle they would gather up to zoom around in between missions. This is a ship for JEDI, they don't need to reach stuff with their arms as long as there is an open pathway they can pull objects with the force.
-Fuel, air, water (coolant and potable), and other fluid storage.
-Power reserves such as batteries.
-Heat Radiators.
-Machinery for recycling or purifying or irradiating.
-Dispersed shield systems - we see in the show how strong the shields are.
-Aerodynamic stability - they seem to go into atmospheres all the time.
@@forrestpenrod2294 -Fuel, air, water (coolant and potable), and other fluids.
-Heat Radiators.
many ships in star wars exist with the same capability in a significant smaller package. so you're saying this ship runs on technology from before the old republic?? (like if you were to use a room sized IBM computer as pc in a time of micro chips)
not to mention of the added complexity of having to transfer all of these through a rotating assembly for no added benefit from just adding a bit more volume to the ship itself.
Stowage: making the space flat and elongated hugely limits in what you can actually store in there. Not to mention you can only get to it from the outside.
Traversing the galaxy in star wars does at most take a couple of days in hyperspace. So no need to outfit a ship designed for diplomatic missions with resources to survive 2 years or more
Non of the things you mention makes it not the worst ship design in star wars, going by in universe rules...
the wings very likely hold fuel, oxygen, and water. with that in mind, thicker wings make more sense because you'd want as much storage as possible.
@@glitchii_uwu Except for the fact that it makes no space to make that space wing shaped, as i said in my comment before.
Airplanes put fuel in the wings because the wings are needed anyway. If airplanes didn't need wings they wouldn't add them just for fuel storage. it's just ridiculous.
Besides, these amenities don't need a lot of space in the star wars universe. Fuel is incredibly energy dense, oxygen can be compressed, and you don't need that much excess water as it can be recycled.
Also reducing weight is the best way to reduce fuel consumption.
Not to mention that other ships in the star wars universe seems to need massive thick wings...
You don't want as much storage as possible, you want as much storage as necessary. Otherwise why wouldn't everyone be flying around in a Lucrehulk space freighter??
So according to in universe logic, how shoddy it sometimes is, it still makes no sense.
I think it is mostly just rule of cool, but also having the Jedi ships be grandiose and a bit impractical kind of goes with where we find the order in the prequels - they’re a bit too pompous for their own good, and not really sure of the reasons why they do what they do anymore. Also yeh, fuel, storage and other things could be made to work in the wings from a practical standpoint
