A Poor Man's Lego TIE Interceptor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- My custom Lego TIE Interceptor fits in nicely with my previous TIE Fighter build and accurately depicts the Star Wars star fighter design in a very detailed play-scale size. If you want to build it for yourself the instructions are on Rebrickable: reb.li/m/188474
I also have a discounted Interceptor and TIE combo pack for those who wish to build both ships: reb.li/m/188520

This is a great model. The UCS ships are too big for me too but the sleekness of your model gets the details across with less bricks so well. Can't wait to see the review, it's great to show off cool builds! Even if they aren't your own.
I thought the ucs sets were not for me either until I got one 😂
@@dean8917 If I get the UCS AT-AT before it retires, I have a feeling I'll be saying the same soon. 😂
Usually don’t like anti studs that much, but the outline on your wings looks great.
Same, that was another design compromise. I tried very much to not use the anti studs but it just wasn’t possible with the outlining. I even ordered 1x3 inverted tiles, but it took away too much stability- I really wish we had more inverted tile selections
Got me a BAUFman Bricks build queue now.
Haha, I keep trying to rush my builds out but I think I have a few people in your situation and I probably don’t need to rush so much
IKR 😅
Your ships are actually so cool. I would love to see an A-wing!
It’s definitely on my short list
Glad to hear that! @@BAUFmanBricks
This is not a poor man’s tie interceptor, no no this is a rich man interceptor.
The detail on this guy is amazing! Please rebuild the TIE Bomber, I'd love a updated version fully in your style!
Will probably take a break from Imperial and do some Rebel ships but yes definitely eventually doing the bomber
Very nice! Your philosophy of design aligns very closely with my own. This one's going on the queue to review.
Awesome design!! I bought the 2021 tie fighter and modified it into the tie interceptor, and it looks pretty good! But this is a whole new level for just $10 more!
I love how you did the cockpit it’s similar to the new upcoming tie fighter and you designed it very well
Ya I am really curious how Lego did theirs and what pieces they implemented for their new design
still the best MOC creator out there!
These are such a nice scale. Way better looking than the crap Lego comes out with nowadays, but not quite as insane as what Jerac comes up with. What an exceptional middle ground. Great work!
That’s my aim, thank you!
This is such an awesome MOC man. I actually just bought the Fang Fighter VS Interceptor on sale like two days ago before I saw this video so I'm curious how that one will hold up compared to this beauty, definitely wanna try my hand at this one too though. Keep up the great work!
I love the back of the model
I built your X-wing in Red 5 colors with some slight external modifications. I'm in love with your version it's perfect and the leftover pieces went to improving my Arc-170 wing mechanism. It was perfect to be able to have the best of both ships this way. Great build all around. These Tie Fighters are looking amazing. I wonder what's next in store 👀
Probably going to do a small rebel starfighter next
this is awesome man
Well you have done it again. Another Liked MOC on Rebrickable and another one to eventually build.
Such a great model like all your mocs, definately gonna get round to getting some of your builds
Thank you! Let me know what you think when you have it in hand
Great build and video!
The long plates are inevitably going to be shaky, I think LEGO designs always have this. Another great design, well done! I like the fact you are open about the compromises in the designs as well. All design is a balancing act of compromises.
100%, there are always many compromises with each ship. This was a good opportunity to show my thought process and also show an easy mod for those who favor strict accuracy
Such a beauty 😍 love your work
Looking forward to the tie bomber next!
It's accually look much better than lego set
Edit: Can you also make TIE Defender? That would be awesome in your style
I’ll have to give some thought on how to best handle the tri-layout for the wing base, after that it’s just reiterating my builds
@@BAUFmanBricks Great to hear. Already cant wait to see it!
Nothing "poor" about this BB - another masterpiece! 👌
Thank you!
Please please do a ATAT!!! Love your videos. Keep up the amazing amazing work!
Thank you! I will definitely be doing an AT-AT
Awesome interceptor moc! Looking forward to the bomber already! Your builds are amazing!
This looks awesome! Your designs are very cool and well thought out! Keep it up!
Thank you!
I need a hint about what the next video is going to feature!! Great set as always
Here you go: the next build was in this video
@@BAUFmanBricks gotta be the AT-AT or the Marauder?!
That looks incredible! I think it could be worth widening the struts that support the wings by a brick height on either side to capture the shape of the ship a bit better. It looks just ever so slightly too square sat there to me 😅
I think that’s more a product of the wings being too thick, a stud wide, whereas they should be thinner but it’s not possible with bricks. If it were possible to be thinner it would look farther apart. I was actually shocked when I measured all the dimensions and they all came out at 1/43 scale.
Dang those wings look great. I was going to use your cockpit design and make my own wings for an intercepter but I may end up buying those instructions 👀. Great stuff as always man!
IMO, does not looks like for a poor man´s at all. Looks really good 👌
Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks! I gotta come up with catchy titles to feed the algorithm
Your builds are always amazing! I'd love to see if you can make a v-19 torrent at this size while keeping the simultaneous s-foil transformation from the official set
I recently converted my 75300 into a Tie Interceptor by Hachiroku24 on UA-cam, but after seeing this, I definitely plan on building this and your normal Tie eventually.
Hachiroku’s Interceptor make great use of the pieces from that set
This one is just fantastic, and most do ship to enjoy
I love Lego and Star Wars but I don't really watch MOC videos. But I clicked on this and now I've watched a bunch and subscribed.
Your sense of humour in your editing is the cherry.
Great work.
Would you do other sets outside SW? New Lamborghini, for example?
Thank you, I love hearing this! Glad to hear the SW clips Im cutting in are getting some appreciation haha. I’m planning to stick to SW for now. I built the small Ferrari for my son and it was an amazing build, but I know very little about cars to be a good MOC builder for them
Do the mantis plz plz plz I need a build for my Cal but I refuse to support republic bricks
You should definitely check out @2bricks Mantis because it’s amazing. I kinda doubt I will do one because I don’t think I can make a better one
Today is a good day! another Baufman bricks vid dropped! (and I must say a excelent build once again)
Nice design I’d really love to see you try a SPHA-T or C-9979 droid landing craft! Anyways cheers!
Maybe a SPHA-T farther in the future once I get around to the prequel ships. I haven’t crunched the numbers but I think the landing craft may be too big even for my scale
@@BAUFmanBricks ok if I’d have to pick a backup second design to go with I would look toward the AT-TE I know that Brick Vault have tackled this but it doesn’t have the “all terrain function” meaning the back doesn’t bend where it should. I think a good place to start if you wanted to look into this is by observing the “I built a suspended train in lego” video which could give enough hints as to how to tackle the bending and locking function when you need the back to be sturdy. Also maybe another way is to have lego gears perform the bend function so you would have to turn a crank to bend the At-Te
“In Lego city a man has pledged his life to the empire”
Make a mini scale AT-AT plzzz you are so good at what you do
I have an AT-At coming but I wouldn’t call it mini
@@BAUFmanBricks 🤩
Love it
This is better than the ucs model
Agree completely
I beg you to do an arc-170 next, please
I’ve had that request many times, and I keep saying after I do some more original trilogy ships. BUT with the rumors of the Arc coming in 2025 that may move up my timeline as I like to modify ships. It’ll depend on if that new ships has pieces I can use
I really love your videos. Do you have other ships you’re planning on redesigning?😁
Oh absolutely. I am focused on Original Trilogy ships for now and have my eyes set the smaller smaller rebel fighter ships next hopefully
@@BAUFmanBricks i’m sure it will be fantastic, you’re making it after all
Another fantastic model! Great Work! I know you have said before that you focus on Original Trilogy era sets, but I see the Bad Batch Attack Shuttle behind you. Any thoughts for an Ultimate Playscale design? 👀
I like Lego's official model, but the interior leaves a lot to be desired.
Agreed, the bad batch shuttle needs more interior. It’ll be a while, but there are a few ships outside the OT that interest me and may get my attention in the future which would include the bad batch shuttle. For the time being I have been pointing people to @2bricks design as it’s pretty great
@@BAUFmanBricks Love 2bricks! I did buy an extra Bad Batch Shuttle before it retired just in case there was a really good moc that used a lot of the pieces. I’ll check out 2Bricks’ model for now, but I’ll keep an eye out for yours if/when it happens.
I love your builds, but I'm always frustrated when the minifig can't see out the tie windowscreen. It's literally perfect in every way except for the lack of usable windows, but it's very hard to achieve that look with the larger screen pieces. That said, I'd be pretty excited to see what you managed to put together using a fully transparent tie-eye.
I only briefly mentioned it in my TIE Fighter video, but this windshield actually does offer some transparency for the pilot. It’s small, but it’s there. You can notice it just briefly when the light hits it head on. I think it happens when I discuss the piece count
@@BAUFmanBricks Oh dang, that'll teach me not to play video games and watch MOC videos at the same time. It's hard to see, but well done!
How similar is the core part of this to your regular tie fighter? If i wete ordering parts for this could i double the parts for the core and be able to build the classic tie?
The core parts are identical. You can use the Compare feature in Rebrickable to see what parts differ if that helps
so there is no issue of using the 1x1 clip when I just display it for example in a hanging position inside of a hangar bay?
aaand it is bought
Yes, no issue, you can easily swoosh it with the 1x1 clip I just don’t suggest it for kids who might bump it. I wanted to highlight it show my design decision but also show that it’s an easy mod
In terms of the 1x1 vs 1x2 clip for the wings, I can see that you couldn't turn around the 1x2 because of the stud, buuut, have you tried to replace the clips with ratched pieces, specifically the 1x3 tile? would the angle work?
I’m not sure I know what piece you are talking about? you aren't talking about finger joint pieces are you?
@@BAUFmanBricks 44300 1x3 hinge with "finger on top" is the official name
oooh, I wasn't aware of this piece. I am looking into this now. I don't have it on hand but I am going to test with a 1x2 finger joint on top which will produce the same angle. It's hard to tell at first glance, if it's off it's only by a few degrees
OOOH, soo close to working! the angle is just a little off. But actually another issue arises that moves the plate back too far. Apparently the joint connection is in a different spot which misaligns the placement. Good call though on that piece! I am going to have to keep that one in mind. I missed that one during my Lego dark ages and haven't seen it come up in any of the new sets I have gotten.
@@BAUFmanBricks I bet it will just ever so slightly stress the piece, Lego always has those frustrations when you try to avoid gaps haha. But for adults who don't care about that and just want a display piece, it could be an option, just like with the official TieLN where virtually all of us replaced the ball joint pieces against clips, even if it put stress on the pieces
Ughhhh… (opens rebrickable)
Haha
Take my money NOW😂 Lego really needs to hire you big mistake of them
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling if I worked for Lego it would severely limit what I could put out
Your right but amazing build still
@@BAUFmanBrickshow can I still get the pieces
I recommend using Bricklink. If you are new to this you you should go look up a video or two from Rebrickable about importing your pieces to a bricklink account
@@BAUFmanBricks ok thank you
day 2 of praying for a BAUFman ebon hawk
Haha, I have a few asking for that. It’s in the realm of possibility, not near future, but it’s a ship I love and I may get around to
Hey Baufmann what do you think about the new Tiefighter and Xwing in the new Set 75393? I was very surprised when i saw that they actually upgraded the models and they now look so much better and similar to yours. They’re still not as good, weird landing gear on the X and a weird top on the Tie but overall I think they really just look quite good.
Also on the Tie interceptor, even tho it’s not in scale, the newest Lego one (Playscale) from „Tie interceptor vs Mandalorian Fang Fighter“ Set Looks sooo good. I feel like it looks even better and more UCS‘sy than the actual UCS set.
Ya I was pleasantly surprised to see Lego make the cockpit smaller on the new TIE. I think the pic angles may be hiding some visually bad areas but I am very interested to see how it’s constructed, especially the wing connections. I know they will make it strong but that’s hard when the wings are removable. I probably won’t buy it but I will definitely be looking at the instructions.
I really thought I was going to buy the Fang and Interceptor set, that Interceptor is very proportional for its scale and looks good. It’s once I started crunching numbers I realized the Tie Bomber was the set for me. But ya, that Interceptor is solid, it’s a shame it’s behind an expensive combo set with an unpopular Fang build
@@BAUFmanBricks True, I think the top of the Tie looks a bit weird, which thanks to the angle of the pic they kind of covered up. Definitely neither of the two are 100%. But I think they will still be pretty cool as they are in scale and look pretty good for the most part. I can imagine they might have actually taken some inspiration of your buildt.
And yes the combo with the Fangfighter sucks. I only built the Tie interceptor out of that set. And yes also got the bomber, a great, great set.
Oh I’m sure Lego had that new TIE Xwing set completed long before I put out my build
