I have a bit less expensive option for the white bubble turret. You could use the 4x4 dome piece the piece name in pick a brick is "DOME Ø32". While it would be a bit bigger, it would be less expensive than the other bubble you used...I don't have an idea for the underside though. If you look at the screenshot you used at 5:46, there is a laser cannon on the underside of the wing bubble, so you could probably do something with that and make it look bubbleish.
@melgoats1453 the one in aotc has one door that doesnt close all of the way. the doors on the clone wars version closes all of the way and has 2 doors. there is no version with just 1 door that closes all of the way
9:41 I welcome the challenge regardless. Despite the flaws with newer lego sets, I love that they get my creative juices flowing to make newer improved designs.
Loved how you used the parts from the handle to make the flick fire missiles! The handle also gets a modification for a 2013 style handle since you took off those parts and reused them! Amazing video David!
Good to see these fixes to the set on so many channels hopefuly Lego gets aware of these. I'm wondering what there thoughts were on making these changes when they had other iterations being so good. Some if not most of them are easy fixes. Still bought this with the ghost on day one with a nice discount on both of them 😄can't wait to add these fixes!
The colour change was something I was thinking of doing myself but because of a lack of money that idea went out the window swiftly, it would be epic if you did a colour change!!!!
Picked this set up. Added the missiles on top using the mechanical claw and silver light silver hilts that makes it look more like a missile. I also tiled off around it. Also doing a mod of the wing stud shooters taking them away and utilising the pieces to make a light as per the Mandalorian chase scene with lights on the Gunship wings
honestly, it really is not that significant of a difference. It doesn't look "sO mUcH bEtTeR" it just looks a little better. Which is why i hate lego fans ragging on this set because honestly I love this gunship design and is probably my 1st or second favorite one.
I also don’t know why LEGO didn’t implement these features when designing this set. I’m surprised they didn’t even include a small build or tools rack for the space.
They didn’t implement these features because this set is made for 9+ kids. With the more accurate ball turret there would be no firing play feature that all Star Wars sets have. The double doors aren’t durable enough. The back doors are because they are held on by two arms but the front one would be very flimsy and fall off if any kid tried to play rough with it. I don’t see any other way Lego could have made the front doors more stable without making the gunship look bad. The missiles on the back are the only thing that they should have included.
I would consider buying it now that I know there are some good modifications I can do to improve it, but I'm still gonna buy the Ghost instead of the gunship. Also I would love to see you make it into a regular white and red gunship. Love the content, keep up the good work!
My biggest issue really is the single door and the empty space under the cockpits. Really don´t see a reason on why lego did that. I understand the ball turrets though as it adds more play features than just a dome
Look Firebird Bricks turret mods, they're fully round, no modified plate with clips or handle bar on the bubble, also sits flusher/cleaner. Love the interior and door mod tho.
I see a window near to your legos. i have a question don't you affraid that sun light will destroy your legos colors? i m asking bc im getting more curious about that kind of thing
Yes to your question. To take it a step further, do it for each legion! Ex: Wolfpack, 501st, Horn Co., 212th, Geonosis, munnilist, etc. (a guy's gotta ask, right?... For the Republic!) I have several custom gunships purchased a couple of years ago and those designs were better than the official Lego set. Cool mods and agree with everything stated.
The fact that it's so easy to add the double doors just shows how lazy these designers really are when it comes to prequel sets Edit* Also wanted to say I enjoy this "Fixing what lego missed" video, and I think you could apply the same concept to other Lego sets the community has been unhappy with. A color change video would be cool
I miss the days when larger flagship sets used to include mini builds that complimented the main builds, like the AT-RT that came with the turbo tank (2010) or the bacta tank with the '08 gunship. Stuff like that just added more life to the sets and it's a shame that Lego doesn't really do that anymore.
So irritating how just a little more extra work on LEGO's end could've made this set a real show-stopper. Great job with the double doors... I do not know why this is so hard for a set designer to do... I made the statement that it would be smart to wait for modification guides before deciding on investing in this set. I was not wrong, great job with the modifications. On with a personal gripe, only two troopers and a commander for a transport? LEGO is really cutting corners, not only with quality issues like the doors but with quantity issues as well.
Yeah totally agree gunship needed the double doors for ease of use. Definitely mod my copies. But I rly think the gunship issues and flaws have been overshadowing the flaws and issues of the Ashoka sets.
Hi, your version of the double door looks different from the one in the video in the description (i have tried it)...yours works better in the alignment with the main body; can you explain us how to modify it as you did? Thank you very mutch!
i know why they don't have the double doors on the original model, It is because of the door on the nose of the ship, that way they can have both doors open at the same time. As you can see in your double door design it covers the fold-up door/hatch...
I would love to see a color change moc tbh because I could never afford any of the Lego gunships as a kid but now I’m in my 20s and considering picking this one up but I’m hesitant since I’m not crazy on the colors and the build itself is… eh? But the modifications may sway me to buying it anyway
The stupid thing is how good the Gunship looks with these changes, even at its small size. It shows how cheap lego was to cut cor ers when minor modifications could have looked great!
All these diehard Starwars fan’s reviews are nothing compared to jang’s, door issue? Jang’s like just push down so it comes off the black technic pin then BOOM, the entire door swings round allowing the most interior space EVER!!!
Looks good but I’m not that keen on the rockets and command center because it is a “police” type of vehicle and those details make it more of a military vehicle. In my opinion a small medical station/stretcher and remove the launchers would have been better
Hi David, can you please do a colour swap version where it's the normal white gunship and to post a parts list? I'd really love to have at least 2 standard gunships in the new smaller size since it's much more mini figure scale which I love personally. I can't stand that Lego opted for a red corusant gunship instead of a normal version. I've bought so many of the 501st and 332nd battle packs, and they won't look right riding around in a specialized red gunship, lol. In a perfect world Lego should alternate every 5 years between gunships. So if we received a specialized gunship for 2023 then in 2028 we should get the normal white gunship, instead of waiting a decade and receiving a version of it that's featured in ONE story arc of the clone wars series.
I can understand Lego's decision with the missiles and the ball turret, but I feel like they really copped out with only doing a single door.
I don’t like the double cause it’s not realistic cause the gunship door is one door.
The CG gunship only has one door so its not a cop out its more accurate
@@peabrain6872 It has Double doors In the show
@@peabrain6872the CG gunship is like every other gunship in the Clone Wars show, it has 2 doors on each side.
@@mikagrof9243 i looked up the source material and everything i could find had 1 door and the ball turrets on the side had no door

The fact Lego didn't give this set a double door off the bat is baffling. It's like making an X wing without folding wings.
Really ruins the accuracy of the build
would like but its at 69
Actually they really do have only single doors. The CG gunship is just built slightly differently than the regular one in AoTC
@melgoats1453 the one in aotc has one door that doesnt close all of the way. the doors on the clone wars version closes all of the way and has 2 doors. there is no version with just 1 door that closes all of the way
In the films they didn't have double doors
A colour change video would be cool, as there are multiple different colours of gunships across SW media.
Yasss!!!
I’d especially like a Tiger Shark mod to make it look like the 2003 ARC trooper gunship
I just parted out the pieces I need to turn the 3 gunships I bought to turn them into classic gunships
@@PteranoLivWHY DID YOU BUY 4 HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE

9:41 I welcome the challenge regardless. Despite the flaws with newer lego sets, I love that they get my creative juices flowing to make newer improved designs.
Awesome, love the double doors. And yes would love to see a color swap, with the double doors.
I would definitely want to see a color change and how similar the parts list is to the original versions
A color swap could be awesome to see, I would like to see it happen!!👍
please

You can’t even “flick” the missiles so they’re really just a rocket decoration 😂 still looks cool tho
Hi, can we have the parts list please ? thx

David you should do a color swap of it to be an actual Gunship lol.
Exactly bro!!
This is an actual Gunship, I assume you mean a Republic Gunship but there's multiple other versions of the Gunship
The colour change was something I was thinking of doing myself but because of a lack of money that idea went out the window swiftly, it would be epic if you did a colour change!!!!
A full color change of the Gunship would be awesome for you to do.

Could you do some mods for the new Ahsoka T6 shuttle? Like making the cockpit bigger and adding plates to the side that’s completely grey.
Yeah the tiny cockpit totally kills the set in my opinion.
I would love a full color change of this set, that would be awesome! (Of the upgraded version of course)
Yes, please do the color swap to a regular gunship that would be sick
Thanks David for the advice on improving the Republic Gunship!
The timing is perfect I'm literally building this set rn haha
Color swap video please! Break down costs and any details that a normal collector would have to go through if you could as well!

Thanks for the frequent vids! Great quality and detailed videos
I actually like the stud shooters on the wings because I mean where else would they put those

they definitely messed up the gunship, not worth the $140 price tag
It’s ridiculous how simple it would’ve been for Lego to just make it 100x better
I would love to See a regular version of the gunship
Great video! I would absolutely love a color swap if you can make it happen.
Can we please get an updated LEGO room your vid

Hands down, my favorite MOC maker
The mods definitely make me a lot more interested in picking one up. And yes do the color swap
This went from a skip to something I’d actually buy. Love the modifications, too bad Lego didn’t include them
Can you do a video for a piece swap to make it look like the regular gunship with the green and white and red? Pleaseee
I'd really want to see an original color scheme gunship with this design

This is the beauty of Lego you can change any set to the way you like it to be. Or customize it the way you want it.😊
It makes me mad that none of these were in a $140 set

thank you
I think I’m going to do the ball turret mod and the double door mod. I may also add a bacta tank to the open space under the cockpit.
Hope we get a 2013 like Republic gunship sometime. Never had one
Hi, your version of the double door looks different from the one in the video in the description (i have tried it)...yours works better in the alignment with the main body; can you explain us how to modify it as you did? Thank you very mutch!
PLEEEEEEEASE DO THE RECOLOR!!!! I was LITERALLY looking for a recolor video right as you mentioned it
They are called mechanical claws because they originally came from the robot minifigure hands from the Exo-Force series.
This video made me actually want the gunship now
Love seeing these moc/mod videos, really interesting to get other peoples take on lego sets
I think the reason for them being called "claw" pieces is because in their debut, they were Claws, in Exo-Force
I really hope Lego make this exact same ship again but white red and green
You are the best... Please create a video with full color changes, it would be awesome to see how you will upgrade this set to new level.
Lego really dropped the ball here, this is a great mod.
I’d like to see you do a series where you go though recoloring the gunship to plain, 501st, Wolfpack, muunilist 10, etc
They should hire people like you to review the Lego sets and make the sets even better, might be more expensive though
Do the conversion! I'd love to see that!
Do the color swap! I'm getting my gunship next week so I will try aswell.
I want to see an extension of the gunship... would 4-8 studs be appropriate? I am curious as to what you think is an appropriate stretch.
The white ball turrets look incredible
Most of the things I’m meh I guess but the dual doors is crucial because of the extra space you get access to in the back
As soon as i saw this video, i immediately went on bricklink and ordered as much of those white windshield pieces as possible
It would be awesome to see a color swap! Amazing video, thank you!
Sweet!! Thanks 😊
i know why they don't have the double doors on the original model, It is because of the door on the nose of the ship, that way they can have both doors open at the same time. As you can see in your double door design it covers the fold-up door/hatch...
yes a color change video would be awsome looking forward to your future geonosis content
i think a color change would be cool to see, i've been thinking about trying to recolor the set into a Muunilist 10 gunship personally.
How embarrassing it is for lego to see this…

Nice mods! YES I would like to see you change it to the standard white gunship!!
The fact that people have to modify this set to make it actually good
The stupid thing is how good the Gunship looks with these changes, even at its small size. It shows how cheap lego was to cut cor ers when minor modifications could have looked great!
A video that’s 11:38 runtime? Well played David 😂

Jang’s like just push down so it comes off the black technic pin then BOOM, the entire door swings round allowing the most interior space EVER!!!
Yes please, I was planning on charging some pieces to make it look like a regular gunship, need some ideas
Looks good but I’m not that keen on the rockets and command center because it is a “police” type of vehicle and those details make it more of a military vehicle. In my opinion a small medical station/stretcher and remove the launchers would have been better
Yes I would love to see a color change of the gunship
Everday i hope we get an image of the Venator class
Is there a parts list for the modifications? Solid Brix Studios?
Can you do an alternate build combining two Gunships and making a big one?
those bubbles need more.
Awesome walk through and very thorough video.!! Many thanks from all the real star wars AFOL ,your a legend
Wow great mods that definitely elevate the set
Man I wish I had all that Lego in the background lmao, always though about starting a massive collection
Why he has a 6321747 piece behind the gunship pls respond me
Do the colour change please, I’ve thought about doing it myself
I literally bought mine yesterday, thank you for the ideas
Awesome mods! I especially love the double doors. Thank you for sharing. I am going to picking up this set soon.
You need Brickdesigners printed parts pack for this.
Thanks for the suggestion! I love the Plo's Bros version! Having that big plate there was too boring
I think your next MOC should be Coruscant or Scipio just because of this.
A fix to the bottom of Ahsoka's T-6 would be great!
