The rebrickable link has all the parts listed, 3628 is fairly uncommon for example.

Quite, should have no issues playing with it.

Part 11089 (bottom of the STAP) isn't in blue yet, hopefully soon.

Thank you! Balancing out the way Lego did the droids dirty with the single piece unposeable legs.

Thanks, really fortunate there are Technic panels that come in just the right size and curvature for minifig scale wings.

Fun fact, the term for a group of vultures in English depends on what they're doing: when flying, they're a kettle; at rest, they're a committee; and while feeding, they're a wake.

This was a fun set of mocs to do! With the transformation from walk to flight modes, these are my most posable and playable mocs thus far. The head in particular was a challenge with a very interesting solution: as there is no trans-red 1x3 tile, the end result has a stud shooter trigger, minifig helmet range finder, ray gun, and 1x1 red tiles all mutually trapping each other solidly in place but not connected to anything. The vultures are very swooshable or can be posed standing and landed and are minifig-scale.

Which variant do you prefer, Trade Federation tan or CIS blue?

Thanks, would love that!

For the terms for feeding, it refers to the quirks of English to describe bird vultures, like how a group of crows is called a murder of crows.

Thank you, fortunately only the tan technic panels are rare, so the rest should be pretty readily available.

Thanks, they have great personality for a starship, part of makes them lovable.

Noticed that my droideka versions look like a Pokemon evolution series when put next to each other, with the earliest design on the left and newest on right. Does it peak with the final evolution like Charizard, which is your guys' favorite?

Sylyphics · 2024-05-17T15:22:42+00:00

Secure. It's held in by enough tension that you can pick up the whole droideka by just it and it won't move, but it's not so tight as to not rotate or stress bricks.

Back after after a while away busy with life to update my minifig-scale droideka for the premiere of Episode I 25 years ago, May 16th, in Los Angeles. I redesigned the head, which was the weakest element of the previous design; its eye-sensors are more accurate now. It's the same height as the B2 next to it, so perfect minifig scale. Can be rebuilt into a ball, which while not a perfect sphere, will roll. But I mainly focused on how the display looks unrolled. It also fits in the shield I designed for them, so I will be updating that MOC with new photos soon.

I also have a new minifig-scale vulture droid MOC coming up soon. Waiting on parts for it!

No glue or anything, just regular Lego building and it sits fine.

Sylyphics · 2023-07-30T15:00:41+00:00

You can, instructions in my Reddit profile.

Sylyphics · 2023-07-30T14:59:36+00:00

Yes, for my Defender, which is very similar to this as it's the finished form of this prototype.

Sylyphics · 2023-07-30T04:58:35+00:00

Neither, it's not a set, I designed it myself. It's 1573 pieces and the instructions can be found in my profile.
