The Trailblazer from Star Wars Outlaws - A Lego minifigscale MoC by papaglop

Here it is !

The project I have been keeping semi-secret for almost a year now.

The Trailblazer, Kay Vess's ship from Star Wars Outlaws




I love that ship and I can't wait to play the game in just two weeks.

There is still a LOT of work to do, in fact this photo is not even the latest version.



List of current features :
 - Turret can rotate and can be removed
 - Escape pod can be removed
 - Smaller Reactors can rotate around the bigger ones like in the game
 - Part of the roof can be removed
 - other parts of the roof can be opened
 - detailed exterior
 - detailed minifigscale interior, all the rooms and main furniture are here

The next steps :
 - Finish the design of the bigger reactors
 - Finish the Canopy of the cockpit (the biggest challenge of the whole ship)
 - Exposing it at "Brick Summit" in Montreal on September 14th 2024
 - Design the instructions and make them available.


F-A-Q :

Is this minifigscale ?
YES

How many pieces ?
No idea yet, I'll have to design it in stud.io to know

Weight and dimensions ?
Not final yet

Is there an interior ?
Yes, all rooms with the maximum of details

Do the Reactors rotate like in the game ?
YES 

Are instructions available ?
Not yet, but they should be in October.

What did you base yourself on, since the game isn't out yet ?
Youtube videos and trailers

Once available will the instructions be on Rebrickable ?
Probably at some point but I may start with an early presale for real fans.

Outer Rim Speeder Bike

I did not attend SWC in 2019 but I followed it on youtube and I saw this video of one of the speeders seen in the TV show.
So, of course I made a MoC of it. :)

It was a physical build only and I only recently decided to do the digital version and the instructions for it.

They are now available for free on Rebrickable.

Happy building !

At last an official, system-scale, Lego Razorcrest, with The Child !

Back in In April 2019, when I saw the Razorcrest for the first time during SWC, I thought :
"Lego is going to release an official set of this ship, system scale, with around 1000 pieces for a price around 120USD.
That’s not big enough, I want it at minifigscale and UCS. I will build my own." 

Fast forward 10 months and here we are.

I just did this :

 


They release this :

Beware of scammers


Hello there.

I guess this kind of thing was to be expected... Some random dude from Belgium is stealing my design to sell it as his own.
This thief is called Tiago Lopes and he does the same with the work of other builders like me.

Not only is he selling my work, but I received an example of how he sells it :
 - He basically copy/pasted all my texts and explanations and he modified all the amounts.
  - He asks for more money than I do (25$ instead of 15$.)
  - He lies about the cost of the pieces. ( he says 400$ when I am honest and say that it is now around 600$.)

And when people ask more questions, it seems he just insults them.

And on top of all that, he just wrote to me to brag about it.

Sad sad world…

To order the instructions from me, just send me a quick email at papaglop.moc@gmail.com and you will receive all the info and a sample.

The Razorcrest ship (from the upcoming show The Mandalorian)

The Mandalorian was the thing I was looking forward the most this year at SWC !

I am really confident they will deliver something fantastic !
And I loved the Razorcrest at first sight.

So, of course, I want to MoC it up. Despite all its weird angles and its not yet obvious colours.


Here is what the first draft looked like. A wobbly proof of concept :






















And a couple of hours later, I had something way more sturdy and articulated.
I started to add some details too.

Summer update !

After a lot of trial and error, and a couple of Bricklink orders, here is where I am at :






















And also a small video :




Now I need more plates and Curved slopes...

Update  !
So the curved slopes arrived and I finished it at last.
I got a friend to help me with the photoshoot, here is the result :

Obi Wan and the Death Star tractor beam Lego MoC

When you like Lego and Star Wars, you want Storm Troopers... Lots of them...
And this year, as you may know, this set came out and it is one of the best "Army builder" there is.
With each you get 4 Troopers and also some nice grey pieces.
So I decided to use these to do blast doors. With a mecanism that can open and close them like in the movies.
After a couple of tries I managed to get the gear system right and now they work fine.
And then I let myself go to build around...

So here it is:
(no filter no photoshop)
Based on this original shot from the movie:

Jedi Interceptor eta-2, MOC


So a couple of weeks ago I decided to disassemble my Cool-Cruiser and I ended up with a lot of cool shapes in Yellow.

My older daughter wanted a "Gros tracteur jaune" so I made her this one:


Then, after a while, I wanted something more "Starwarsy", as usual... But Yellow ??... Then it hit me :





Jedi Interceptor eta-2





Of course, there already is an official set for this one... But I wanted to do a MOC based only on pieces that I already own.

Also, I wanted to make it look more muscular and bulky.
The original one seems so slim and fragile. (I know it is supposed to be, because, you know : Jedi = No need for heavy shield and armor.)
But still... I wanted something more "realistic"?...
So after a rainy Sunday, I ended up with this :









oh...
and for my friend Sylvain, yes, a R2 unit can fit in the wing, let me climb here to show you:

Spaceship ! Spaceship !!! SPACESHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pour bien comprendre toute la puissance de ce model il faut:
- avoir vu le The Lego Movie
- avoir grandi dans les années 80 en jouant aux Légo.

La boite officielle est prévue pour août 2014 son code : 70816.
Mais à mon avis, acheter une boite officielle du film LEGO, ça va un peu à l'encontre de l'idée de fond du film... Ce serait un peu comme acheter le CD de "Everything is awesome"...
