7 Ways to Fix Your Coruscant Guard Gunship

[@scottdavis_34]

Wow the bubble turrets look 100% better than the shooters. I hate that they choose to go that route. What an improvement this is!!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks Scott!!

[@vakar88s]

I hate that they didn’t add bubble turrets on wings

[@evandesquibes2460]

In the show there is no bubble torrents on this gunship

[@Aromazusatz]

​@@evandesquibes24602:45 there ist a screenshot. Ofc there are Bubbles on the wings.

[@Medabricks_clanka12]

@@AromazusatzI think he’s talking about the retractable turrets on either side of the hanger bay

[@JOMAX_71]

Its the dealbreaker for me in this set. I can forgive a couple of wrong prints in the fox fig and the grey visor as well as the doors but lego ignoring the most iconic part of the ship to include a couple of dumb shooter for kids IN A 140$ SET, is absolutely outrageous. I really hope this flops

[@JOMAX_71]

​@@evandesquibes2460yes there is lmao

[@KrypticElement]

Honestly I really dig the scale of the new gunship. Nice work on these mods 👍

[@firebirdbricks]

Glad you like them!

[@commanderchas1686]

The scale is better, closer to reality, lots of people hate that it’s smaller but I think it’s closer to what it actually is, price isn’t pretty though

[@bion-geek-le1109]

I love videos like this because instead of whining about every small detail just use what lego provides to fix the problem

[@firebirdbricks]

Gotta at least try, right?

[@Sashin-d8t]

@@bion-geek-le1109 I don’t get it. Would you not expect the highest quality in a set costing 140 dollars, instead of having to fix legos mistakes

[@lowlylad3457]

Damn mad respect for this guy. Not only does he have amazing ideas, he also finds other people’s solutions and gives credit to them rather than just stealing their content. Awesome video, and a new sub 😂

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!!

[@egemenogredik9056]

Great mods, the set definitely got better and I actually like it pretty much this way! Also big respect for not stealing ideas and linking them straight away Big fan of everything here!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you!!

[@TheItalianoAssassino]

The back of the gunship looks like disturbed Elmo and I can't unsee it

[@Legomen360]

Great mods dude! Love the bubble turrets on the wing and BlaiseTM’s door mod is awesome!!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man! Glad you like the mod!

[@xnightdwellerx8168]

The bubble turrets on the wings look fantastic 👏🔥

[@DarkBluishGray]

The Gunship beam turrets have been my favorite ever since I played the 2002 Star Wars Clone Wars game. Definitely need to do a similar mod when I get mine.

[@justsayori3046]

I'm surprised Lego didn't add them since to me that seems like a better place to put the stud shooters.

[@Goldchain653]

Holly crap with the bubble turrets changed it looks so much better I know it has other problems but when I get it I’ll display it with the doors shut so I don’t see that as as much of a problem since objective when the doors are open they look worse then if there were two but when they’re closed there’s no gap in between

[@firebirdbricks]

Makes sense! Yeah I think the bubble turrets really add a lot!

[@RoachDoggJr2112]

I subbed just for that bubble turret design. Shit looks clean AF.

[@cpafol]

With the minifigs, it would have been great to have Padme with dual molded legs as she's always wearing those knee-high ish boots! Otherwise, couldn't agree more! Also WOW, that reversal stud technique to hold the 4x4 round plate in place! That's ingenious.

[@firebirdbricks]

Dual molded legs would have been nice! @grindingbricks is the genius who came up with the stud reversal technique!

[@grindingbricks]

You're welcome, glad you appreciate it!

[@shadow-squid4872]

And swap out her her from the Jyn Erso head to the actual Padmé head from 2013 and it’s perfect

[@gorillatube3363]

Awesome video, my man. This is definitely high quality and perfectly executed

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!!

[@themartyrus666]

Unpopular opinion: I think that dark grey visor and kama are actually accurate for Fox. When you compare it's colors with black overall under his armor, it's supposed to be lighter color.

[@miggyz8975]

Thank you for sharing the modifications!

[@firebirdbricks]

You bet!

[@javiersp15]

solid bubble turrets! Will be adding them to the OG set and the color swap set.

[@shaunw9092]

I definitely agree on the scale. Nice upgrades to Fox and the gunship, we needed this.

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!!

[@phillipalexander220]

These mods look great! Will definitely do them when I get this set!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@TeenageMutantZuckerTurtle]

As someone who never plans on selling my minifigs, I’m considering taping off the sections on Fox’s Torso that are ok, around the portion that’s white but shouldn’t be, and taking a very tiny amount of acetone on toothpicks and rubbing the white off inside the print lines to expose the red underneath. If I ruin it, oh well, then I’ll shell out to buy a pad printed torso

[@piotr78]

Looks like a very difficult job with that shading underneath the chest plate

[@shadow-squid4872]

Don’t forget the knee pads, they’re supposed to be red as well

[@juawei1940]

Even with its short comings I still think its an amazing looking set and its release has finally given me a chance to own a lego republic gunship, well done Lego I say

[@collectorempire_km]

Definitely doing the bubble turret upgrade

[@firebirdbricks]

Enjoy!

[@RB98r]

I would actually consider buying the one you modified. So much better!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!!

[@meowzrs_]

Gettin' this set soon and already seen reviews, I LOVE IT!!

[@Hobbyistspot]

Thank you. I might just have to try this for my own Lego build channel. Great idea for the Tourette’s and filling in the gaps. I saw that split door video. That’s a cool idea.

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Then sit by and pay more and more for less and less. I get it, but some of these are valid, Like why take that away?

[@toenail1]

i agree with you saying it’s the right size looking a photos form the clone warsand attack of the clone it is basically to scale but because past gunships have been bigger everyone seems to think that this new one have been shrunk

[@albertrichardson3424]

Thank you tons, I really love this set, could get over the door problem as on display with the doors closed it does not matter, but the stud shooters really do look terrible. Now I can get it and fix it (BTW, white domestic are more accurate for the courascant gunship)

[@Thrawns_Revenge]

Love the mods you did, great work!

[@firebirdbricks]

Glad you like them!

[@G36645]

I like the fact they have made a smaller version The 2008 and 2013 versions are to big to properly display or use in a MOC

[@firebirdbricks]

[@1roxyfan491]

I don't quite understand the reason as to why a lot of custom lego builders like to remove the shooting pieces from their mocks.

[@Thetindallman]

I went to the Lego store around may or something and I asked the worker there if there was gonna be a new gunship soon. He said he wasn’t allowed to tell us, and that he didn’t know the full plans for the sets, but he wasn’t gonna say no, then he said it shouldn’t be too long. He didn’t lie bro

[@ThatShady]

for a second there i thought you were gonna make flick-fire missiles 😆

[@firebirdbricks]

Thought about it! haha

[@Mwraf]

One pet peeves about the set is the the dang stud shooters and not the bubble turrets

[@firebirdbricks]

Agreed!

[@Superkai66]

If I get the gunship imma try to do the bubble turret one at least. It looks so much better! Awesome job bro!

[@OpticBlast-yk5hf]

If Fox’s legs were dual molded with black on top and white on bottom, so that the kama would go all the way around, I wouldn’t mind the printed kama.

[@ZachattaxYT]

This is cool, i wish I was good at building with lego to come up with mods like these

[@DarksaberProductionsOfficial]

“Only the best is good enough” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@spacejermz8485]

gray is the accurate color of the visor, not black though lol

[@VortexUTG]

If you want to fix Commander Fox use the Falcon torso from the mini figure pack with black widow and 2 aim agents

[@JOMAX_71]

'' The easiest '' way too fix the holes is to swap the helmet with the old one, like the old doesn't go for 100$+ on eBay😂😂

[@Fulcrumn9]

I'm pretty sure he meant to buy individual helmets for about $5 off of bricklink

[@Sashin-d8t]

Here is a tip I found. If Lego doesn’t make a helmet for a character without holes I would suggest GCC because they look like legos

[@lindboknifeandtool]

[@firebirdbricks]

[@emiliskog]

out of all these I don't understand the missiles as it actually makes it less accurate, their placement on the 2013 and 2008 gunship is to make it playable while having them fire from approximately the right place

[@JBBrickman]

I would disagree about the Padme figure. In all her other variants have used something better resembling her face, like with the dimple for example. In this case they clearly just took an existing face and slapped it on their. I actually am less annoyed with fox than I am Padme.

[@shadow-squid4872]

At least the Jyn Erso head still fits Padmé pretty well, and if you have the old 2013 head you can easily swap it around. But Fox is unfixable unless you order custom prints or modify the print yourself, they messed up both his torso and his kneepads

[@ACOB]

Bubble bois~!

[@blubba818]

Am I the only one who thinks gray is the right color for Fox’s visor? That’s clearly gray on every Fox figure and in Clone Wars.

[@MedievalGrilledHelmsAreCool]

I am very happy that I was on the vote on this, this is a big step for my pathetic life

[@iikpsyt4619]

I just want to remind everyone in the comment section that this set was originally made for kids. The UCS Republic Gunship was made to satisfy AFOLs. So please, stop hating on this set and use the magnificent mods in this video to make it how you want it.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

Hating on the set is OK, the problem is when people just cry about how stud shooters are so ugly when when they are absolutely fine desighn wise,

Great video and update for the Gunship! Can someone tell me the parts you need for the missile launcher?😅

[@willdavie]

If lego had made those changes to the gunship i'd buy it...

[@WarpigA23]

The easiest mod for the wing turrets: replace the grey 4x4 plates under them with the 4x4 turntable base. Now you can rotate the turrets! I don't know why TLG didn't do this. It doesn't even increase the "unique part count" for the set.

[@krchovkustoms9306]

I’m doing dual door mod similar to ewok pilots and stretching the ship 2 studs in the Center section

[@Raptyy_]

for anyone who wants to fix the fox torso, you can use an accurate decal of his chest piece and seal it on

[@shadow-squid4872]

What about fixing his kneepads? They’re supposed to be red as well

[@Agarricus]

The padme figure could use dual moulded tan and dark brown legs to give the boots she wears in this outfit

[@shadow-squid4872]

The Padmé in this set reuses the Jyn Erso face instead of bringing back the fantastic Padmé face from the 2013 gunship, so I would swap the head out with the older one as it’s actually meant to be Padmé. Fox also has inaccurate knee pads, as his kneepads are supposed to be red but on the minifigure they’re white. Yet another inaccuracy with his figure :(

[@lucacasciola3450]
