That is so freaking awes... where do you live, and do you keep your doors unlocked? :P

Wish I had matching lego pieces to do that, I would only be able to come up with a digicamo pyro.

lol No my doors are firmly locked.

Lego now offers individual piece sales.. so if you are so inclined.. you can order the wing pieces you need there. ;)

I DID have issues finding black pose able pieces for the wings.. but after months of digging I got all of them together.

Instructions could be available if I could remember half of the steps I made to put them together.

However: I need to modify the cockpit area on the BP.. so I could prolly use the lego software they have now to make instructions..

Another issue: Pieces! Most of the pieces I used on the GL were pieces I had already.. As for the BP. I ordered a butt load of black wing pieces... thus allowing me to finish the BP. (thank the heavens for Pick-a-brick!)

So I will work on giving you guys some instructions and parts lists...

I think the BP has 200+ pieces where the GL could be less... lol.

Before I make instructions I need to come up with a prototype Magnum and Phoenix.

Neat work. I'd love to build those, but I don't have the pieces or the money to spare right now.

That is awesome! I have like 10,000 lego pieces, I should build some pyros and some robots too, except I'm too busy and too lazy. :P

My parents still have a five-cubic-foot box full of Legos from my childhood. Lots of space stuff, but I don't have a few of the pieces you have in the pics.

Maybe someday when I'm back home, I'll create one of my own, for comparison. 8)

They're relatively inexpensive. I ordered 20 of every black, grey and dark grey wings they had and it didnt cost me more than 30 bucks. The rest of the pieces (cockpit especially) could be hard to find.. depending on how far you're willing to go. Those were the cockpits that reminded me of the Pyro's glass from inside. There are plenty of other Lego cockpit glass' to choose from.. So don;'t limit yourself to what I have there. Also: I casually worked on it until yesterday. I was sick of looking at it half built on the table so I dug and dug and dug until I found all of them.. (I'm referring to the BP). As for the GL.. That was VERY casually done.. I only spent about an hour on it each day until it was completed..

Even now I think about things I could make better on it so I guess I'll keep you guys updated on progress and how to make one yourselves..
