LEGO Star Wars AT-DP Modification

I ordered a few more joints for AT-DP modification and they arrived today. Although the hip joints are not nicely covered yet (showing the blue studs), I want to keep a record for this stage.

The modification is pretty simple at this stage. I don't want to change too much for now to see if I can get the AT-DP balanced. When I have more time, I will get back to this project.

Lego Star Wars Rebel U-Wing Fighter (75155)

Lego's U-Wing for the upcoming movie, Rogue One, is a pretty nice... except... the shorter wings, shorter engines and the over-sized troop storage at the bottom.

The easiest fix is the wings' length. From the ratio of the Hot Wheels model, the wings are roughly missing 8 studs. At the same time, there is a light grey 4x6 on one wing needed to be replaced with a white one. Simple fix. No brainer.



The next thing that I may fix will be the length of the white engines. They are just 1/2 of the actual length (see the Hot Wheels version at the bottom). It will be a simple fix too if I have 8 more parts for the engines and 4 more longer technic rods.



I also took away the stud shooters at the front and changed the "trigger buttons" on the blue front.

UPDATE:

LEGO Star Wars AT-DP Walker (75083)

I think it's a nice model made by LEGO. The way LEGO made the sides mounting with the body was pretty smart. I got this set for almost a year and I didn't even know where I stored it until recent storage arrangement. I will put 4 new joints to it later. Stay tuned!

Lego Star Wars Rogue One AT-ST (75153): A Simple Fix

Finally, a new AT-ST set came out before I started my MOC project. Because of work and school work loads, I couldn't start that project. Now, I'm happy to get a set and modify it later. \

The first thing I needed to fix is the shape of the head and the two tiny opened windows. The original set's "face" was vertically downward like a block. At this stage, I just did a simple slope to the "face" and made the windows a bit bigger. I have no idea why I couldn't find the opposite 2 x 4 triangle as a pair (should be misplaced in other tray). Then, I used a Lepin triangle to replace it for now.
