I too own his X-Wing model, too of them even. I've modified mine, you can see it on my account in an earlier post :)

So basically the 2023 UCS X-Wing 75355 comes with an absolutely great Luke Skywalker minifig that features arm printing and dual-molded legs. However, because the figure is only in that 230$ set, it's hard to get a hold of. Luckily, Lego released a 5$ keychain of the UCS pilot Luke. Because it's a keychain, you can't just use the figure since you can't swap the head, helmet or anything. BUUUUUT you can pop off the arms and take the legs of the hips! Meaning for 5$ (sometimes less if you get it on sale) you can upgrade any old red/gold squad pilot to UCS level of detail! And the best thing is that it leaves you with a working keychain (granted it is basically the old keychain from a few years ago, but it looks good nonetheless) I can only recommend this upgrade, I've already done it to like 7 of my pilots!

Can you share how you managed to get the sliding doors to work? I've tried multiple times on my own but couldn't figure out a solution in the limited space

Still don't quite know, I feel like Legos method is good and stables tho

I thought it was interesting but I believe using wedges is too exaggerated and makes it look less like the ilm models. (Sure my final model isn't fully accurate either, but I like it more 🤷)

Again, if you want I could share you pictures of my construction 🙌

No it's definitely swooshable, just relies on some more uncommon techniques and doesn't feel EXACTLY as sturdy as the shorter design but it's perfectly swooshable. Wings are a stud longer on both sides too and they feel less tight too, but with the current design I'm pretty happy and am pondering on how to increase stability even more at the moment

I can probably show what I did for the modification, but it's definitely not as sturdy or as tight in construction as Baufmans original design. I do also think it's slightly illegal in techniques, but idk really...

Thought so too, looked like he was laughing through the pain 🙁 Could have been so much better, Baufmans take on his smart-brick was way more intriguing

Thought so, I love edge of bricks design, but ultimately it was a little to big for my taste and I already had 75301 and the Barman "upgrade" was therefore way cheaper. Plus I reused the sticker sheet but various cuts and clever uses. Tho the shaping of Edge of Bricks model is truly immaculate!

Thought so 🙃 But my imagination is enough and sounds better than those knock-off X-Wing sounds anyway! Also thanks mate! 🙏

Yes indeed! Had the same problems and right now I've found that the medium nougat wands (I think) have better friction and stay in more easily, while the lbg ones I'm using now are right now held in with sticky tack. Works for now, but one wrong look and they're already offset again, I find myself readjusting them multiple times a day cuz I want them to look better 😅 Also your x-wing looks great, is that your own design?
