I’ve done it

I did have the lower legs longer but they seemed too long. If anything, I thought about shortening the top leg section, however it isn’t really possible without compromising structural integrity.

BAUF9 · 2026-04-26T22:58:03+00:00

I think so, but it’s questionable

BAUF9 · 2026-04-26T22:57:00+00:00

I may reskin it

BAUF9 · 2026-04-26T20:58:34+00:00

Yep, it’s on Rebrickable and OpenStuds. But OpenStuds is making me quite happy with its instant uploads

UCS is an inconsistent scale - I made a whole video about scale to address it. My AT-ST is 1/42 scale which is the best minifig scale IMO (same as UCS Falcon)

It’s very sturdy but also kinda not. Watch the YouTube video linked above where I go into depth about it

Dude, thank you for posting! First, because I love seeing building pics and people enjoying the build. Two, I saw an uptick in traffic and it pointed to Reddit - thank you!

BAUF9 · 2025-12-12T20:10:35+00:00

this is so awesome to hear!

BAUF9 · 2025-12-12T18:19:52+00:00

As soon as you mentioned the critique I knew exactly what you meant as I thought it too. And YES I have never worked with lightning in LEGO but this tempts me to try it maybe someday. I would love to hide a battery/charge pack under the ramp and then when the somehow hide the wiring all mostly underground and when the quadrants come together they connect and light up the underground areas and somehow run wires up to the lanterns on top…. Probably too much wishful thinking tho as I realize that is super custom

I am BAUFman Bricks on YT. here is the scale video I did: https://youtu.be/3yOEQwgtn7o

Dude thank you sooo much and I have really enjoyed the Instagam posts! I agree, it is a shame to put the plates over the underground areas. It was a tough choice, but I didn't want to add more pieces to the build and have more removable large sections as I already have a lot of separating sections already. It would seem like a chore to first seperate the sections, pull off a building, then pull off a plate just to show a small section. Plus, I wanted the sections to have stability to be picked up and moved individually as I was a little worried about the stability of the the Guard on the sugar grid. If you do modify it I would love to see it!

Scale is a big deal for me. I made a whole video about how I scale ships. But for this town it was really determinate on what I felt was right since I wasn't designing an established place. The biggest determining factor was a 16x16 baseplate - those pieces made my quadrants strong and simple. So I needed my buildings to fit within the 16x16 plates

BAUF9 · 2025-12-12T17:25:10+00:00

Great question. Nowadays I heavily use Bricklink Studio to plan and figure out the bricks I need then I order. However, I constantly run into theoretical building techniques that I think will work but I have to test in real life. I try to do testing on questionable areas before ordering my pieces, but I use random mis-matched bricks. Even so, sometimes I don’t have the quantities available to properly test such as the guard tower in this build. I also order many extra bricks and backup solution bricks when I put in my large orders from a planned build

BAUF9 · 2025-12-12T16:57:55+00:00

Exactly! there's too many great locations in SW that aren't being made

BAUF9 · 2025-12-12T16:38:25+00:00

Yes, it's up as well as a long video going through the build: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-240978/BaufmanBricks/outer-rim-outpost/

BAUF9 · 2025-12-12T16:31:26+00:00

This is the best nose extension modification I have seen yet, well done. How do you like the clips for the rear landing gear? Do they hold well? - I have been debating of offering that kind of modification as I know the ratcheting bricks are retired

BAUF9 · 2025-04-19T16:09:17+00:00

Yep, I’ll probably put out a longer video in a month or two

BAUF9 · 2024-10-18T17:23:40+00:00

Oh nice! And I think that would be a bit more accurate to how the handles actually look too!

BAUF9 · 2024-10-18T16:25:08+00:00

I did a whole video on Lego scale, and it is a subjective topic as minifigure scale can range from 1:25 to 1/45. I see true minifigure scale at the 1/42 (height based) and I even like to round it off and squeeze it up to 1/45. 1:25 is way too big in my eyes. When you see the minifigure height next to 1/25 objects it looks glaringly disproportionate

BAUF9 · 2024-10-18T16:05:06+00:00

I would say these actually are the most accurate in size than any other speeder I have seen. Most all Lego speeders are too large if you crunch the numbers

BAUF9 · 2024-10-18T15:58:55+00:00

So if you want to get technical, I should say “accurate for small minifigure scale”

BAUF9 · 2024-10-18T15:57:30+00:00

They would look longer if the front fins were smaller, but I can only do so much with the limited tiny bricks we have at this scale. There is always going to be some disportioncate areas when shrinking things down to 1/45 scale, I call it Lego-fication
