6 SIMPLE Lego X-Wing Mods You Should Do! | Lego Star Wars 2021! 

When I saw this I though he was going to say buy a smoke machine

“How to make your xwing go from this... to this...” Step 1 Get fancy lighting Step 2 Smoke machine

FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY: Highly recommend using Chopper's body and legs with the R2-D2 head.

now i want waffles, great video dude!

Thanks for the tips. Definitely made my X-Wing look way better. I also moved the torpedo launchers from under the wing to under the nose next to the landing gear

You could add two 1x2 vented cheese wedge pieces back to back on either side of the rear fuselage to give it that hexagon profile instead of a square

If these look good I might buy the set,keep up the good work Edit: Yep I am buying it

I really like the look of them tbh - great price and could get my first TIE-Fighter!! Will def try and get some of these mods done too! ITWMFM video? I’m in!

Music is so good! Effects are dope. Loved the mods :)

Love the landing gear mod! And the chair addition looks soooo good! Also WAFFLES 🧇

I actually think that instead of using fancy wings, i think a cheaper and better way is to flip the gun stick around, and then stick the dish in, so there’s the barrier stopping you from going any deeper, and you can get it perfectly on all wings. After you’ve done that, use a black technic peide and put in in front of the dish.

For my x-wing I removed one of the 1x3 tan Jumper plates and put a 1x2 Jumper there so I could fit a Modified 1 x 2 with Clip and a Bucket Handle for a better "steering wheel" with the original screen just above. As for landing gear I simply changed the current hinge piece to a 1x3 hinge with male and female end and put the previous hinge where the yellow axis was. Love your engine mod, gonna have to do it myself.

These are my favorite variety of LEGO YT clips. Very helpful in making the kits more screen accurate. This sort of waffling is always appreciated.

Ok this was the best, I loved the interior mod!.. *It’s just so magnificently exquisite*

You have some of the best cinematic B-roll! It looks amazing, much nicer than just a white void!

amazinggg content! thanks man

Your videos are awesome, I can tell how much fun you have making these! Quality content!

If I get the set, you know I’ll be doing these mods 😜 they look great! Really good video man. Hope this one blows up like your other recent ones! 🧇🧇🧇🧇

Thanks a lot, this was a very helpful video.

This is awesome stuff man! Definitely going to use these mods on my X-wing! 👏👏

Solid stuff though I gotta say your R2 lowering trick while simple was just perfect to me and def my fav.

Tysm!!! You made my X-Wing look so much better! btw, I found a way to only let R2's head peak out of the ship, first you need to remove his legs and place his body between 4 nobs, second step is to fill the sides with white pieces

I just bought this set and I agree that it’s great, and your mods make it even better! The only thing it’s missing is an ON-BOARD WAFFLE MAKER

Great video! I’ll be modding mine to Blue Squadron and I can’t wait to use that engine detailing method.

I do love what you’ve done though great job 👏

got this set today and I love it, but your mods really help polish it off for me! Thank you!

Hello very nicely done i must say, ive actually done quite similar before watching this lol. I put the lightsaber handles on end my blasters though which i think look bit better. If you remove the two curved tiles in front R2 you can place same style thats slightly higher so he looks alot better seated behind Luke. And redid front nose with the older design aesthetic from 2018 witch adds slot to the design. Add to this by placing curved tile at diagonal in front the cockpit and tiles running down to nose. I also added the underbelly cargo area by simply added run of reverse slopes. I had all these pieces so didn't cost me any extra but in the end it was a mix of both 2018 and newer mod but best both.

Here’s the thing. My mod would be to sell the set and buy the old one. Mod complete

Great content!! Your videos are top notch. I've been here before 1k and I'm not leaving! Keep up the amazing work!!

looks good, I took 3 1x1 tiles for the engines and put a snip rocket through each one. flipped the gray cannon rods, turned the bowls forward again, and used lightsaber hilts for tips. 

Id encourage adding pink translucent bricks like the ones he took out from the guns and use them as the engine flames. Add a pink translucent antena at the tip of each flame to make it look like its zooming with the flame railing behind the engines. Awesome 🤤

When I look at this video I thought to myself I should probably do these steps on my X-Wing and also love the video. And that's a sub.

I just recently used some of these techniques for my X-Wing, added a few things that I would add to your video (such as raising the cockpit canopy so Luke can sit upright), and I think my X-Wing looks pretty dadgum good! *Three months later edit: be on the lookout for my review of the X-Wing this September!

What a surprise, another awesome video

Awesome video! This video got the creative juices flowing and I made some changes to my X-Wing based on the inspiration provided here in. As for the landing gear, I simply removed it. It was much easier than pulling it apart, and since I have it on a stand it seemed implied that the gear would be up and stowed. I removed the two pieces that R2 is resting on, that did the trick and looks much better. I added the pieces to the back of the cock-pit, which is a nice touch. I did something similar to the video as I didn't have all the piece necessary for the mod mentioned in the video, but I'm happy with the results. I also added some small connecting pieces (the names of which I can't recall, sorry.) to the ends of the gun barrels to make them a little longer and more realistic. It also improves their appearance. I never would have given any modifications the slightest consideration without the help of this video, so thank you very much. May the Mods be with you!

Thanks for the ideas. Only need the parts for the landing gear.

I really love the r2 mod and the interior mod😍

i got this set yesterday, and now found this video. so helpful! thanks, these are great mods edit: waffles

I feel like you can add a cone or cilinder near the jumper on the moded guns. It will make them a bit too THICC,but it will add friction,so it will turn less and make them fall off less.

Very nice mods! Thank you!

Great video. I did the front engine mods, the cockpit, and the landing gear (though due to parts slightly different). I can't do the side or top of the engine due to not having the pieces, but maybe someday. I am very happy with the ones I did, thank you.

Thank you so much for the engine detail that was the main thing that bothered me about the new X-Wing

I ended up modifying my old style one to be better looking. Just little things like making the wings thicker,fixing the nose up,and overall just making it look a little better

Got me two of these new X-Wing for my next diorama... made some mods myself, but I most positively will imply some of yours also!! (as one of the X-fighters is to be displayed taking off with the S-foils already in position about 20 feet off the ground for immediate interception of incoming TIE-Fighters, so some half way retracted landing gear on this one will make an awesome addition showing the urgency of the emergency take-off with the S-foils spread and the landing-gear still half way out)

Did the engine intake mods (first option) and pulled the jumpers for R2 and added a 2x6 white finish plate in front of the canopy. One 1x2 gray cheese slope behind the console, looks 5x better. Will have to order some more parts to do the rest 😅

SO happy i searched for this! the lack of landing gear even just for the front ski was so disappointing!

What are the parts used for the landing gear mod?

I’m getting the set now because of this thank you so much!

Incredible

0:35 Tommy just blasting it with smoke xD Good and easy mods - probs will do

You made it look a lot better.

Definitely doing the landing gear mod

Great video tommy

there is actually a better option to fix the landing gear: i removed the blue 1x5 plate and put a 1x2 plate with clip in there. then i used a1x4 plate with two connectors to the clip to connect all. at least i used a1x3 plate instead of a 1x8 plate

The way R2 D2 sits pretty accurate. (mod versions) Look back to a new hope and look at the scene where the x wings are not yet in attack positions and approaching the death star.

OMG!!!

That's awesome!

I have been able to move R2-D2 forward by a stud that also lowered it down. I was able to do this mostly with the pieces supplied with still the structure holding strong.

Te ganaste un nuevo suscriptor con este vídeo! Greetings from Mexico!

BRILLIANT MATE

Great video. I took some of your hints but kinda went full creative mode on the rear and top engine area.

Already looking at getting a second and modding it up to look like Gen Antoc Merric's Blue Leader X-Wing from Rogue One! Technically you could mod this set to be any of the legendary T65B X-Wings from the SW Universe. Might do Wedge Antillies Red Two as well.

Beautiful

Thank you for the ideas Tommy. Quick question what would you mod to the rise of the skywalkers falcon?

Bro Your hilarious- I’m so gonna use this technique

Before watching the video: I have the old (2012 i think) version of the set. I have modified it a lot. I've changed the cannons, turned the droid pit, made bigger intakes for the engines, added the targeting computer...

Cool video

Definitely gonna do this if I buy the set

I just added this mod to my x-Wing and oh my god am i Blown away of how good this is!! And also i want waffles🧇

You could also replace the gray plate underneath the S foils for a white plate.

When I get this I think I'll do the landing gear mod, the engine mod and the r2 mod, also waffles

Tip: use the jumpers from R2D2 to put in the forward engine.

Don't forget to add 3 more of those blue technic pieces to the bottom right gun, for accuracy if you like

the tiles between the studs is not illegal because the tiles are slightly thinner than plates so they fit nicely without causing stress

Just sub'd, I've watched a few videos, I like what I see! Have a great WAFFLE day! LOL

I actually had some waffles for breakfast! 🧇🧇 😋

The vape smoke really improves the look of the set😂

I like the way you did the landing gear when I get this set I might use that mod....waffles

Nice! Glad I'm not the only one. Beautiful videography. But Why didn't you fix the crappy canon rattle though? Just put in a round half spacer on the "guns" 😊

hi, this video was very helpful. would you pls be able to make a video like this for the 2020 anakins starfighter.

What makes an illegal building technique is when you build something that could over time damage the plastic. Placing studded tiles between studs is illegal because of the pressure it puts on the LEGO studs. however doing so with flat tiles isn’t as the the flat tiles are a hair thinner.

Bro you are hilarious!!😂😂 Bru this cockpit is Shi* and my personal favorite “ Is this worth spending my Fu**ing money one”. Lol

Honestly, happy I got the 2018 version and I think it’s wayyyy better. You shouldn’t go for a smaller piece count with a large ship.

Do the tie fighter next :) make it into a interceptor

Came here for the landing gear but damn I might have to try the rest

What bricks are you using for the cockpit control panel?

0:27 smoke not incuded XD

I just ordered this on amazon yesterday 😳

Waffles are really cool....

I love Lego

mines is coming today in the mail so excited Edit: bruh the packafe was “lost“ im so f ing mad

I would love to add these mods, but I don't have the pieces

Awesome~~~

Waiting for mine to arrive from Lego (+the tie fighter), any chance of putting a parts list in the description as I'd have to order them in.

could you put some 4x2 bricks in where r2 sits and just attach r2's head when it fills the hole?

they should actually go back to making the windscreen a transparent black to be more accurate, not sure why they changed it to be clear with the new windscreen piece

Good mods I put them on mine

The other thing is that on the part that is mostly technic on one side it has 2 gaps. I made a quick RU-vid short for anyone who wants to fix that part too

Are you gonna do one for the T.I.E. Fighter, or is it good enough as it is?

Can you make a tutorial on how to make a cockpit that’s accurate to the squadrons game? Not particularly on this x wing, just in general
