Ultimate Playset Scale Stinger Mantis (2023 Edition)

MOC-145894-1

This is my updated, almost entirely redesigned Stinger Mantis 2.0! Done at the same scale as my first version, this model takes that basic foundation and improves on every element to a huge degree - first in the aesthetics, there is a much more smooth, flowing look, as well as some improved proportions and an entirely redesigned rotating wing section. The functionality of the rotating wings and landing gear now mirrors almost perfectly what we see in the game animation, in addition to being a lot more visually appealing with the new stud-less design. There is an entirely new room not previously present in version 1 which allows Cal to meditate, get some rest in his bunk and work on his lightsaber customizations at the work bench! all of the previous details from the kitchen to the lounge area, Greez's plants, the holo table and highly detailed cockpit are still present and almost all improved upon. Additionally there is now a stand (included as a free separate build) which allows the Mantis to be displayed with the wings in flight mode, as well as providing a UCS style sticker template which you can print out and display! 

Included in the downloadables for this model in addition to the regular instructions etc, there is a parts list for those who have version 1 already, but wish to upgrade to the 2023 version. This parts list can be uploaded to Rebrickable to get only the extra parts required.

To see the *Full* breakdown of changes and improvements, be sure to check out the video tour on my 2bricks youtube channel! 

All in all, this is the definitive 2bricks Stinger Mantis, and will hopefully be a joy to build, swoosh and display for fans of the games, new builders and owners of version 1 alike!
