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

Image
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 ?...

Update on my Lego MoC of the CX Dagger from Bad Batch

Image
My wife knows me well, when we watch anything Star Wars, she can tell from my face when my brain goes into "I need to build this out of Lego". After giving up on a full minifigscale Havoc Marauder, I wasn’t sure I’d find a ship I love from the Bad Batch. I worked on Asaj Ventress’s ship for a bit in stud.io, but I had limited footage and zero shot of its interior, so I’ll wait for more content. However, for the CX Dagger , it was love at first sight and I have plenty of footage, from outside and inside and even a concept art page. So I dived into it. And of course, I wanted it to be as detailed as possible and as minifig-scale as possible. All while keeping it buildable with pieces that are easy to find (I learned from my success with the Razorcrest) I got some good reviews on Instagram for the V1 And now just finished V1.1 just in time to show it next Weekend at an exhibition near Montreal . Note : The instructions are not ready yet. So far designing the instructions ...

CX Dagger, from the Bad Batch a Lego MoC by papaglop

 This last season of Bad Batch has its ups and downs, but I enjoy it a lot. In terms of inspiration for Mocs there have been two ships that caught my attention :  - Asaj Ventress' new ship,  - The Clone X ship called CX Dagger. 1/ Asaj Ventress' new ship   I spent a couple of nights working on this one, but it bugs me to have no idea where the door is or what the interior looks like, plus the cockpit has a shape that is pretty complicated. Fun fact the rear windshield is very similar to the Razorcrest's. There are only a couple of shots where we can see this ship and it is not enough to recreate a good enough MoC but here is where I am at with it..   2/ The Clone X ship called CX Dagger For this one, we have a lot of footage of the exterior, some interior shots, AND my favorite thing : a Concept-art board from the Official Star Wars website. These angles look good ! But it is a pain to recreate... I hesitated between Black and DBG, bit I went for a mix of both. ...

Papaglop's new lab

Hello there, it has been a while. I've been far from Social Media, my bricks and Stud.io these last couple of months. Why you ask ? Well instead of building with Lego bricks, I was spending all my weekends renovating the basement of my house. I finally got rid of that old carpeting from the 60s and dismantled this big, decommissioned fireplace. My wife asked, "What color have you chosen for your Lego room ? And I replied, mostly LBG and DBG for the walls and the floor is going to be Dark tan tiles. Things are going well and I started adding some SW details to the decoration, some of them inspired by this glorious Facebook page called SW Room builders .  Most of my Lego collection was hidden away during the work, but some sets still received a lot of dust, luckily, my daughter finds it satisfying to dust them with a light brush. It's not 100% finished, but will it ever be? I just need to get some details out of my mind and into the room. Then I will have space mentally and ...

Star Wars Galaxy of Lego Heroes - 2022

Who else is a Star Wars Lego and SWGOH fan ? :) These are some of my old teams from 2021 / 2022 Since then, my roster has changed, the meta has changed and my minifig collection has grown. I will update the teams and make new ones once I'll have full access to my Lego room.

StaCrates - Modular display crates for Star Wars minifigs

As you probably know by now, I love designing minifig-scale Star Wars scenes and ships. But building large dioramas and full starships is demanding in terms of time, money, and over time it requires more and more space/volume to display. Time and money: I have MANY unfinished designs : The Bad Batch's Marauder, Ahsoka's T6 as seen in the show, The Mantis from Fallen Order, The Windfall from Vader Immortal VR game, The Halo from Clone wars and Aftermath books, Slave1 with the rotating interior like in the Mandalorian show. All these I started and gave up on, because I started with the detailed interior, build around it, and then give up because it becomes too big and too time consuming. Also, I have older and bigger Mocs for which I never found the time to design the instructions. (Cantina from 2017 / Carbonite Chamber from 2017) So now I want to focus on smaller, more achievable things for me to design and for people to build. Display: As a lot of you, I enjoy collecting minifi...
