![]() ![]() Update v1.3 I've rearranged a few of the tail parts so that there is a point over the back of the cockpit. Update v1.2 Minor updates to the instructions plus the Kamino Landing Pad zip file, containing instructions and parts list for the 270 piece landing pad. If you'd like to see more photos and renders of my modifications as well as my tiny 1:250 MOCs then head over to my Flickr and Instagram pages. I've also rearranged those excellent pointy white wedge plates to get the Jedi Order design, hopefully you can just about see it!Īll of my modifications are easy to do, I always use affordable pieces and try my best not to change the set's structure and swooshability. This might sound crazy but it means that its possible to buy an old astromech keyrings (with the metal keychain pin removed the head remains permanently attached), which are significantly cheaper than their normal equivalent. The major changes here are the colour scheme and the central droid location, using as few pieces as possible I've managed to make a space for an astromech droid head and body in front of the pilot, whilst storing one of its legs in front and one behind the pilot. ![]() I designed it to be as simple, cheap and slim as possible, you may need to improve the strength if you want to add it to a MOC :)Īnd finally, I've added a simple 31 piece mod to recolour the set as Ahsoka's Delta-7B from The Clone Wars, extra parts will cost you around £3.50 but unfortunately the 2013 Ahsoka and R7-A7 minifigures are significantly more expensive to buy now. The pad is very fragile, it cannot be easily moved and the sections should be assembled where you intend to display it. Two of the kits with 6 LED plates are required to fully light the build. The pad is 28cm wide and made of 270 pieces, costing approximately £25 to build, and has spaces for the cheap USB LED 1x4-plate kits found on ebay for about £5 each. If you've already built the set you can safely remove the wings, rebuild the centre section and then reattach and made a few minor changes to the wings.Īlongside the mod instructions is a Kamino Landing Pad zip file, containing instructions and a Studio model (parts list). My instructions completely replace the original instruction booklet so if you're crazy enough to build the ship my way first you're going to have to open up all the bags before you start. The tail point hanging over the cockpit means it can no longer be hinged open, instead the cockpit and hinge are connected to a 2x2 jumper plate and can be removed seperately from the droid cover. R4’s body can still be hidden away in the body of the ship. I repositioned the black inverted slopes to give the impression of landing gear on the wings, when landed the whole ship now rests very close to the ground. The cockpit is now much lower and closer to the engines but everything still fits together as it should. I've reused the stickered parts, all but one in the original position, and kept the shapes of the wings the same with just a couple of surface changes. ![]() The Delta-7 starfighters have an elevated cockpit, but not as high as this set would have us believe, so I've rebuilt the entire centre section to lower the cockpit by about 2 plates. Kamino Landing Pad: 270 pieces, 28cm wide, approximately £25 to build (2 cheap LED light kits (6 1x4 plates) can be added to light the pad, these are around £5 each on ebay).I've only used the original parts to modify the ship, no extras! Obi-Wan Kenobi's Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter from Attack of The Clones, modified to reduce the height of the cockpit area and lower the whole ship when landed.
