I ordered the printed pads using the link in the description day 1 of this video being posted and my order has been stuck in "awaiting shipment" with zero communication from the seller despite my reaching out. Is this a sham website you're shilling? Where is their communication?

Its been a couple minutes and I'm still in shock..... I'm so glad you like it! I definitely recommend having a clear workspace and schedule if you want to do this mod, it is quite intense

can you already build that in when you first build this moc or do you have to build it complete and then disamble?

Forged In LEGO has the BEST stuff. You should do a review on his dropship, too. Love to see the guy finally getting some more of the attention he deserves.

I’m so glad you did this video and gave the designer the attention he deserves! I discovered this mod the day after it was posted on Rebrickable, and I immediately bought the directions and ordered the pieces. The designer did update the directions, so do pay attention to that. I haven’t built my Venator yet, so I’ll be doing the modifications during the original build. I also bought a light kit from Light my Bricks and ordered extra lights to light the landing bay. Fortunately, I already have the printed pieces as I ordered them from another company. I can’t wait to build this beast. The final display will be on a top shelf, so the mods really aren’t necessary, but at least I know they are there. 😊

this is CRAZY. makes me wanna buy the venator now just for that mod

Never tired of seeing Venator (democracy music intensifies)

I needed 6 hours for this and it was 💯 worth the effort

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! recently i've been on the fence about buying the Venator but after seeing how all these mods completely fix the very few issues with the set I think i'm definitely going to pick one up some time soon 😄

ForgedinLego is a goat in the lego moc community. Dude has some seriously sick builds.

So amazing to have a mod for the hanger bay! Plus, I love that the new printed tiles are all now available! Thank you David for being such a die-hard Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars fan!

I haven’t watched your videos in years and I just remembered your channel this morning went and found it and man you have come along way. I remember when you were building your earlier clone wars sets and watching your time lapses as a kid I would watch them for hours brought me so much joy! Seeing the amount you have grown and the amount you have added to your Lego building aesthetically like the little plants and electronics and all the little tiny details you have perfected your craft and it’s so great to see your still going man! Just wanted to show how much I appreciated you as a kid and even now as an adult I still had a great time watching this video keep it up! (Just broke out another memory going through your channel totally forgot your old username “LegoBoy” LEGENDARY)

The only other thing I'd love to see someone tackle would be the sag of the engines. Not the biggest complaint but it'd be nice

This is great and I absolutely love the idea of pad printed replacement parts. I have already ordered mine. Hope you add more.

Makes me even more pumped to get this set, and i didn't think that was possible!

A LEGO set without “playability” isn’t a true LEGO set in my opinion. But this mod makes it playable…. Well done.

I was expecting someone to make a mod like that. It became way better than I could have imagined!

I love the Clone wars so much its insane. I love everything about the Clones

Thanks for the info. I don't think I will do the mod but I did just order all the pad printed pieces from your shop. Will be much appreciated when I finally build the set I have sitting here since release day.

This is a wicked mod, Now if someone could fix the droopy thrusters

Just recently bought those pad printed replacement pieces, super excited to receive them!

Definitely adding this to the build once I buy mine later this year

This set just gets more and more expensive!!! 😀 I have always loved the Venator, will get the UCS next month (hopefully) - and I need most of the mods you have shown, because... Venator!!

The guy loves so much the Venator this is his 3rd video modifying it

i can tell its absolutely worth it. i bought the instructions for 5 bucks and got the needed pieces for another 40 bucks. all in all spending 45 dollars for this cool of a moc is better then lego could have ever done. 100% recommendation

@antonisaaksupka315

4 ай бұрын

also i got the venator on ebay for 220 dollars so i did only spend 265 dollars for this cool set with this amazing mod. i also added some minifig scale scenes under both of the back panels and added a bridge in the bridge tower, so guys i can tell you, this set can be fucking awsome

Love this. The only thing I probably would've done differently is made it the same width for the whole length to match the Venator hangar in the Clone Wars animated series. Then you'd have space for more detailing on the flooring.

You know I’ve been waiting for this since October

Ive been a fan of ForgedInLego for a while now. you should review his dropship moc. Its an amazing modernization of that ship in my opinion.

Something that you know internally is special

yoooo i was waiting for this

This looks SOOOO insane

Damn thats looks sooo good, loved it but imagine that having two venator with each one being worth over £500, love these modifications etc keep it up

Impressive! Most impressive!!

Looks so cool

Well done, I can tell this was very hard.

brooo u recreated that scene mad

This mod is so good. Fixes the biggest problem for me personally with the set.

Oooooo I genuinely kinda wanna do it

Awesome mod 👍👍👍

Love the video not sure if would do the hang modification though. I did like seeing the pad printed replacement pieces they look 100 times better I just wish one day Lego would do this for these high dollar sets, especially after seeing that die hard Lego fans can do this it makes me wonder why Lego couldn’t even though they said they couldn’t because of the mold pin marks on the 6x6 tiles.

Thats ah Cool idea Thanks👍

Now, someone has to make a mod to have a full interior

I want this, so much.

Now we just need a UCS AT-TE Walker

This mod is awesome, ill add it to mine

Wow cool mod!

LEGO FANS: Why didn't they add a hanger?! We feel CHEATED!😡 LEGO: "Because we knew you would do it yourselves.😐

I have the 45 degree iDisplayit stand and it's great. I have the light kit but have been procrastinating with it.

One question regarding the iDisplay stand and Hangar Mod by ForgedInLego. If i were to build the hangar mod, would i still be able to put the Venator on the 45° Degree Stand? Does it have the same Gap lengh from one stand leg to the other? @ForgedInLego

This is great. Needs some micro scale dropships, tanks and gunships in there

This looks so sexy, i watched the og video the guy posted and both showed how nice it looks

I'm good with the small square hangar from episode 3 seen when he dropped on Utapau

you should add micro scale starfighers and i think it whould look amazing

Can you also do these kind of modification videos on other UCS sets, like the UCS Slave 1? I've always thought about moding the dark green semi-sphere's so that they actually have holes in them. Brick Vault did something like this, but never released any instructions.

Bro had to flex the clear stands with TWO VENATORS!

great video as allways does anyone know what shelfes those are in the background thx

I'm also thinking about redesigning the cannons, they look good just not bulky enough or accurate.

Just purchased those pad printed parts. I bought the set the week it came out. But life has been very eventful lately. Hoping to crack it soon enough. 👍

Wow, I'm 100% doing this as soon as I get my Venator! David I contacted you on messenger! 🙂

Are we getting tired? Me, definitely not. I'm waiting to pick mine up, along with the parts for this modification and the stand. The only change I'm also doing is changing it to grey and blue. I kind of want to do a Medical/Resupply fleet moc.

Omg printed parts for set 7163 would be so dope !!!!!

Crazy idea, what if you put the Venator on a really tall stand above your Geonosis MOC, so it’s like it’s way above the planet in space.

ok this mod is need for this set

You are genius

Cool. Question conserning that gapnyou mentioned. Cant youbreplace that small light bluish grey tech ring, or whatever it is called with a small cylinder piece?

Get a load of 1x1 studs and recreate the scene that way

Cool Modification👌

Just made a whatnot account because of this video, halfway through watching it. 5 hours later I'm back after winning a Millenium Falcon and Venator lego set. Damn.

I would so do this modification to recreate the Y-Wing take-off scene in Season 1 of Clone Wars

please add leds and plexiglass to your shelfs, it would look amazing.

Would love to order those pad printed bricks but I'm busy Saturday night so guess I'll miss out again.

saying that making the hangar open would impede structural integrity is pretty rich considering how stable the engines are in the back

Hanger is 100% going in my venator

Lego stores also use that 45 degree angle stand

next step is adding lights to hangar bay

Dude is still doing the Venator

Now we just have to make the blue bricks in the hanger light up aswell

Lets goo!

Do the hangar doors open or shift while using the angled stand or keep they completly close? Also awesome to print those other pieces as well, sadly I already ordered the other ones like a week ago... well guess I have no other choice than to buy another venator for them... And with it another room to display it 😂

My only question with this is, does it remain compatible with the acrylic stand? But a fantastic video, I’m slowly convincing myself to get it all

If I decide to buy another UCS Venator I might try this, but since I have a light my bricks kit in my current UCS Venator, I dare not try to mess with undoing all the wiring in fear I might break them. I plan on getting a second one anyway to make it a imperial era venator, or just go complete fantasy and make a 501st Clone Legion Venator and replace all the red tiles with blue ones.

This is really impressive! How much easier is the integration of this mod if you add it during the initial build process, rather than taking it the original build apart afterward to re-modify it?

@leshaygood6054

I asked this question to the designer on Rebrickable. It can be done during the mod, and he suggested where to begin the mod during the Lego building directions. You will also need to retrieve a piece from the second to last bag to use earlier in the mod build.

For everyone asking, yes this is compatible with the light my bricks kit! Just be very careful to not disconnect any of the wires and just leave the wired panels dangling. It’s a bit tricky, but there is more than enough space to hide and conceal the wires while still building the hangar bay!

I think you should just buy the brickvault version of the venator.

I haven't buy the veneator yet but will get the replacement one and not use the sticker does are way better

Lego Group: Oh no we can not make a hangar intetior. The designer: skill issue

You say I can’t use the hangar? I’d make a million gunships and y-wings! I’d play for days without eating.

YOU GOTTA GIVE ME THAT!!!!

Would this be a good mod to plan into the original building process or can it only be done once the Venator is complete. Looking at getting one and if I can knock it out during the building process that would be amazing!
