Greetings all,
I have added the Modified Jango Fett's Slave 1, Jedi Star Fighter, and
"Assault" Cloud Car to my Brick Shelf Page. I have also added my MOC the
"Advanced Tie Interceptor".
(for those of you impatient to see the models)

Mod list.
Jango Fett's Slave 1: Moslty mods to make it sturdier. Several 1x10 and
1x8 plates added along the bottom seams to hold it together. A hinging door
is added o the rear section of the craft. The cockpit module (the part
where they sit is now a little longer (must be manually switched between
flight modes) and looks a little better.
Jedi Star Fighter: I really liked this design, but found it much too
flimsy. So I decided to strenghten it quite a bit, at the expence of having
the hingy, foldy wings. I also boosted the engines (the jedi who flies it
prefers speed and stealth, and has down graded the weapons a bit.) and
added som inverted red curved slopes (gotta love that cloud car model!).
Assault Cloud Car: The Cloud Car also got a performance boost. 2 large
atmosphere breathing Turbines replaced the standard repulor lift coils.
Navigation lights now adorn the cockpit area, red on the left, green on the
right. A heavy blaster now resides under each crew module, and its
reinforced ventral fittings also provide the Assault Cloud Car its landing
gear. Under and between the engines is a light blaster that can swivel
through 90 degrees, and is mostly used to attack infantry during strafing
runs. The aerodynamics have also been somewhat altered.
Now for the MOC.
The Advanced Tie Fighter. Extended Universe.
Fluff text
Shortly after the fall of the Second Emperor, Grand Admiral Madaran Chistu,
chief of advanced starfighter development. Unveiled the new modular
Advanced tie Interceptor. Looking back at the capable but expensive Tie
defender, and Tie Advanced models, Grand Admiral Chistu insztead developed
upgrade kits for existig Tie Interceptors. These included boosted
Turbolaser assemblies, very high thrust Ion Engines, a heavier hing spar
structure with magagavine fed missile launchers (4 Advanced Concussion
Missiles each) firing between the angled wing solar Panels. A new higher out
put Solar Ionization Reactor now powers the fighter, doing away with the
neccesity of having solar panels. Most squadrons simply put heavier armor
on the wings, or use them to mount hard point mounted weapons. Pilot life
support is heavily up graded.
Model notes. This began life as Darth Vader's Tie Fighter, but went through
such a drastic redesign that it is something new. It is also a very
sturdy/playable model.
I hope ya like em
