the Trailblazer - a minifigscale Lego MoC by papaglop

Hello there !

Thank you for your interest in my minifig-scale rendition of the Trailblazer.


It's been a long journey!

I started working on this project when the first trailer for SW Outlaws hit YouTube last year, building the physical version first and after getting access to the game itself in August, I added loads of details, just in time to present my first version at a Lego exhibition in Montreal on Sept 12th.



Since then, I’ve reverse-engineered my work to create the 4460 piece digital version using Stud.io. I added even more details and broke it down into over a hundred modules and submodules. Only then could I start the long process of creating step-by-step instructions, as detailed and user-friendly as those of official Lego sets. (well, you’ll be the judge of that)

In November, I’ll release a video tour of the ship, covering both the interior and exterior, marking the big launch. However, if you want to be among the first to receive the instructions, I'm offering pre-orders now.


To receive the instructions:


- Use this paypal link - in the text section, please specify the email address where you want to receive the files, or I will use the one linked to the paypal account,

- Pay what you want/can as long as it is a minimum of 22CAD (16USD, 15EUR) or more.

- As soon as the instructions are ready (probably around Oct 13th) I will start sending them, prioritizing the most generous contributors.

- I will use Wetransfer to send you a zip file containing the PDF for the instructions (1000+ pages) along with the part list in CSV and XML format. This partlist can easily be uploaded to Bricklink to create your wishlist and order the pieces.
- If you don't want to deal with ordering the pieces and want the full build in real Lego, let me know, and I'll see how I can help.

Yes

Price for the pieces?
Around USD 500

How detailed is the interior?
Very detailed. (More info in the upcoming video, but it includes all the rooms, 3 beds, the kitchen with Nix's plate, the vac-tube, the 6 seats in the cockpit, the ladder to the turret, the crafting area, crates, and more.)

Do the three exterior doors open?
There are indeed 3 doors but one is seen only in a specific mission in the game. Yes they all open.

Only one.

Does it have a spot in the cargo hold to put the speeder?
Yes and I made a minifig-scale speeder too (free instructions)

Yes, but it is not motorized.

No, but it’s big enough to accommodate a good amount of wires and leds.

Does the turret rotate?
Yes, and it can be removed.

Is it modular to allow good access to the interior?
Yes

Will this Trailblazer be available on Rebrickable?
At some point in the future, yes, Rebrickable is a good platform.

Why not put it directly on Rebrickable?
 Three reasons:
-They don’t allow pre-orders
-They only allow a fixed price and don’t leave room for generosity.
-They keep 10%

Is this the very first Trailblazer MoC?
 No! But it is the first minifig-scale one (mine is 3 to 4 times bigger than the one already on Rebrickable).

Does it require rare pieces?
Unfortunately, a few.

Does it have landing gear?
No

Does it include a display stand?
No

Does it require stickers?
No


Special thanks to my patient wife and daughters for their endless support as I dedicated countless hours to this MoC.

I hope you will like this project and may the Force be with you !
