My upgraded TX-130 Fighter Tank!

I got the TX-130 Fighter Tank, and it really does look fantastic! However the interior leves a lot to be desired, so I modified mine, freeing up space for more Troops and cargo, so here is my modified TX-130.

An overview:


Gunner station:


Back hatch open:


The interior:






One final view:


Questions/comments/critique always appreciated!

Question, Will you change the red to Republic Red? Nice inside mod!

Sweet! I wish I could get this! Maybe for Christmas.

Nice! I was wondering when you were gonna post it...

As awesome as this is, I think I am gonna pass on it, there is just too many stickers for me to mod it to blue...

Looks good ABL! But I assume the mechanism is now gone right?

Wow, so nine clones can fit on that puppy? Really nice.

I don't feel like taking out the mechanism just yet; I actually kinda like it.

Nice work!

I like it, it is cool how you made the inside bigger.

Thanks! Maybe on another one, I want to keep the exterior of this one original. @80-0:Actally it'll hold 7 Clones, including the gunner, and I kept the mechanism for another application, it really is quite ingenius in design.

What does the mechanism do exactly?

It would raise the gunner from the cockpit up to his station, and open the hatch in the process, it also could lock in the "down" position if you wanted to keep the gunner inside the tank.

Wow great job! So it fits 4 clones?

7, but four is he standard compliment, 2 Pilots, 1 Gunner, and 1 Vehicle Commander/Jedi.

Nice! However the only thing that you did that I'm gonna use with mine is the seat idea. Sorry.

Mind if I Steal use and give credit for this idea? I must say, this is amazing, can't wait to see my new REX in it!

Good design ABL. I'm sure I'll do the same if I ever get one! I still can't really see how it holds 7 clones though?

Ha-ha... Yeah go ahead, it's a WAY easy mod actually, and Rex is almost done.

P.S. @ Legorev: I can't believe I forgot to take pics of that, I'll do it and post them!

Alright! I believe you but I just need to see how!

Copy cat That's great! @ Legorev: They are pretty crammed I'll say that.

You still didn't shorten it to half the size...

Other than that it's awesome.

How do you mean?

The TX-130 is over twice the size it needs to be. Although we all know Lego did it so they could sell CW clones in it...

I still don't see how it's too big. Reference? I've seen it and all and it doesen't seem out of shape.

It's a little wide if you can see that. The most notable trait though is its height. The TX in the Star Wars universe was MUCH smaller than TLC version. When I get my tank I'll probably have to find away around to mod that...

I still want to see a reference pic.

Besides, why is having something bigger a problem aside from the price?

Take a good look at that and tell me it doesn't make Lego's TX-130 look like a behemoth...
