Lego Star Wars | "Rey's Quadjumper" (Custom Modified 75178)
Although I am not a big Star Wars enthusiast, the design of the Quadjumper really caught my attention. It just happened that it comes in a Lego set 'Jakku Quadjumper 75178', so I bought one built for fun.
Later I realised that it has lots of potential for interesting modification, and would like to make it into Rey's very own personal craft. As we know Rey is a junk dealer so she has the knowledge to make her own upgrades on her craft. And the Quadjumper's power, maneuverability and ability allow it to turn into a potent weapon.
I have no intention to completely change the original design because it is very interesting already, so I only made some minor adjustments and modifications to enhance the craft:
1). The Quadjumper has 4 massive engines, so I used this advantage to modify the bottom half to be a separable craft. The upper half is a Gunship with a pair of swing wings. The bottom half is a fighter that looks similar to a pad racer, that performs in atmospheric flight, so that Finn can pilot it as well.
2). The rather dull "blow up" function for kids play was removed, so that there are more space available for modification.
3). The ugly belly of the lego craft was removed (this is the worst part of this lego design in my opinion), and replaced with retractable landing gears, that look similar to the gears in the actual design, so the craft looks cooler as it stands on the ground.
4). The upper engines were extended so that the craft doesn't look that flat in the front and rear (my personal preference). A pair of guns were added next to pilot seat, and extended the walls surrounding the pilot seat in order to eliminate the gap between it & the window in the original lego design.
5). Addition of a crew space for BB-8 on top of the craft, just like the X-wing. So that it gives a more Rey' s personal touch feel to the craft.
