Star Wars Y-Wing UCS (Lepin Version)



It's a pretty nice model. Lepin version comes with some grey tubes for the 8 engine sticks. I don't put them on and let the white technic bars show. Then it is better than with wrong color.

LEGO Star Wars Krennic's Imperial Shuttle (75156)



Rogue One's Krennic's Imperial Shuttle is well made... the look is good. However, when you open it, it's quite ugly (in my opinion). Basically, the storage/seats of Deathtroopers is just the "by-product". Locking the walls of the shuttle in place is hard; then, I guess the designer(s) just make it like they are intended to make it like this.



I don't like using the ball joints as the wing joints. It saves space for the wings' folding part but the problem is... the strength of holding up the wings is weak.

It has a very nice landing gears. Way better than Kylo Ren's Shuttle which was one of the worst models recently.



The back is really close to the actual model. Nice.



Krennic's and his useless Deathtroopers (LOL) is cool when they walk together on grass field

LEGO Marvel Red Skull's Car MOC - Stage 2



I put aside this project for a while. Next stage may be changed into a 4 seats vehicle like the one in the movie, Captain America: The First Avenger.

LEGO The DeLorean Time Machine Modification (21103 ) - Update

Small update made to the roof. From 4 studs wide to 6 studs wide.





My 80's classic Sci-Fi display case :-)

LEGO The DeLorean Time Machine Modification (21103 )



This Back To The Future's DeLorean has been sitting inside my display case since 2014. I've touched it for years although I don't like the shape that Lego designed. The 2 steps design of the front bothers me a bit. Today, I took it out and did a simple modification.



I took this photo of 1:1 DeLorean at Osaka's Universal Studios



Look at the original structure of the front. Because of the 7 studs front end design, Lego did it like this. It was pretty bad for someone that building Lego 8 hours everyday as a job. I have no idea what happened during the product design process. My bet is cost controlling people changed this.



I did a painless modification on it. I rebuilt the front from 7 studs wide into 8 studs wide. At the same time, I extended the front plus I took out the annoying two steps thing. Actually, I wanted to add the slope at the front but it would take too much time to take things apart. May be later...

Time To Pack Up Some Lego In Storage

Once in a while, I packed up figures and Legos into my garage. It was how I packed my stuff in boxes. They will be displayed again when I win a lottery (Seems not too possible).

The Recent X-Wing Models from Lego



Chatting with Dennis, the web radio show's host, about Lego X-Wings recently. He asked me if I could show him what I had. Then, I found my UCS version in garage. At the same time, he made me considering to build the blue X-Wing.

The recent models of X-Wing are really way better than before. From shape to structure, the improvement is obvious. You may find a lot of places to modify the 9493 original trilogy X-Wing but the two X-Wings from The Force Awakens are almost perfect. Maybe, you can update the engine a little bit and cover the grey parts with black tiles.
