For those wondering you can get all the pieces for this model on bricklink for around the same price as the new r2d2 set! the price my differ depending on where you are but roughly its about $100 including the Instructions and Stickers > tommyc.store/ < Happy Building!

@iandowall153 Ай бұрын

Do you have a rough estimate of the cost of the chopper specific parts if you already have a 75379 r2d2 set to use?

@rellko3900 Ай бұрын

I really respect that you tried to make your models out of affordable pieces, that’s definitely a big factor of why I get discouraged by MOC instructions

@TommyCFigs Ай бұрын

exactly why this model was important to get right for me :) i know a lot of people will want to build it

I absolutely love the build. My only thought is maybe changing the "eyes". I think having a silver lens casing and then all black lens may be better for the build. Using a 1x1 stud with hole would make the third eye have the variation and make it look more inset as well. 😄

@Mrstealth93 Ай бұрын

Really awesome Chopper build. Maybe a tiny oversight, as his left shoulder has a bit of a bevel around the curved edge, with the mismatched legs. But i imagine it was hard to find pieces that could achieve that detail.

I love your work, these are all really good and just to add, when I first saw the latest R2-D2 from Lego I was hoping for a C-3PO in the same scale to display together, the very iconic Star Wars duo but I know parts in the right color would be impossible for a MOC, it would have to come from Lego at this point.

@TommyCFigs Ай бұрын

C-3PO is being made by LEGO hence why I haven't made it myself, if needed i will be making a mods video on it when it comes out to make it more detailed like the r2 video last week :)

@crystalcove99 Ай бұрын

I'm so glas this was recommended to me! I'm really surprised that LEGO has never made a Chopper figure after all these years, and this one looks superb. The Republic Bricks one looks great, but I'm not a fan of how fragile it was (plus, I've never bought the pieces for and built a MOC, so I'm hesitant to start with such a large build... the size of this one is perfect! I've only ever built alternate builds that just require the pieces in a retail set). My only issue with this build, which is honestly more of a nitpick, is I'm not the biggest fan of Chopper's eyes here. I really don't know what it is, but they just feel kind of... off. It might just be that Chopper's left eye (from his POV) is a bit larger and differently shaped, but they all look the same here. I wonder if something could've been done either with different piece usage or maybe a sticker to make that eye look unique. That being said, it's such a minor criticism and doesn't at all change my opinion of the build! I plan on picking up the instructions from you soon!

If I may suggest something - you should sell sticker designs as digital files for those who want to UV print it on the bricks - for me stickers are no way to go so I would prefer to pay for the design and then find a solution to print on bricks on my side.
