Building Droid Gunship (#75042), part 6: The Minifigs

With Droid Gunship (#75042) we get four minifigs that are better for army building than for collecting unique ones (Chewie fit's in a random wookiee army). Standard battle droid and super battle droid are not rare or very exiting but they're nice add to your droid army. More tips for building a droid army

41st Elite Corps Trooper is a nice add but we get two of them in Kashyyyk Troopers battle pack (#75035) so not a very rare one either. So the minifigs are not very awesome, atleast there could be a few more droids or clones. But overall Droid Gunship's been a nice little build.

My First MOC!

This is my first MOC that I got ready. It took about 2 hours to build it. I'm gonna build one from every SW movie, some maybe in minifigure scale.

Microsize MOC including the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship, Naboo Starfighters and Vulture droids, designed and built by Battle Droid Bricks. All bricks are from S@H PaB except the lightsaber. Contains over 600 bricks.

Sadly my camera is pretty old so the quality is what it is.

 

Building Droid Gunship (#75042), part 5: Done!

Here we go, three photographs telling you about the details and here's my personal quick overview: It was such a fun build. But there was not much to build and it was very easy, even for smaller kids, I guess. It's most likely going to retire in the end of the year, I really recommend to pick it up if you can. Now I'm looking forward getting AT-AP (#75043)...

It's not over yet. Part 6: The minifigs is coming up!

And coming up later on: The Epic Sandcrawler

Upside down

What's going on with that torso? The back is on the front!

Bag 4 was the fastest one 'till now.  It contained the rest of the minifigs as well. I'll share you some photographs including the minifigs later on.

So bag 3 has been assemled! I guess these two photographs tell you more than a thousand words but anyway... Bag 3 was an easy and very fast build and I had no problems with it. Bags 4 and 5 still left so stay up to date.

A Better Troop Carrier?

Here just a little idea how to get Battle Droid Troop Carrier (#75086) look more impressing. There is enough space for double the amount of droids the set gives you. After the MTT disappointment (the number of droids was a joke, wasn't it?), this looks pretty okay.

The original set

I'm building Droid Gunship (#75042) and this is where I am at the moment. Bag 1 has been assembled and there are four sealed numbered bags left. The set looks quite promising 'till now as I've had no problems and it looks cool as well. Bag 1 was a very fast build, though.

A Closer Look At MTT (#75058)

Here we go! A few pictures from my MTT which I just got assembled.
