Lego Set Mods/Overhauls Part Lists
Here are parts lists for some of the Lego set mods and overhauls I've done over the years. Bricklink XML part files are included so that you can buy the pieces required for each modification. The instructions for how the pieces should be used are available in the build's corresponding video, which is available on my channel and this site. I encourage the use of these modifications in videos, I just ask that you give me and others (when applicable) credit for the build in the video, and link the mod's video in your video's description. Thanks for watching, and happy building!
How to Upload Part Files
Here is a step by step guide for how to upload the parts files provided on this page into Bricklink, so that you may purchase the parts to build each build. If this tutorial leaves any further questions, feel free to reach out to me on my Youtube Channel or Twitter. (Links are on links page)
1. Download the file for the build that you are going to make
2. Go to Bricklink, and login to your account, or create an account if you don't already have one.
3. Hover above the Want button, (Next to My BL on the top of the page) and wait for the drop down menu to appear.
4. Click the Upload option from the menu
5. Once the page loads, click the option that says Upload Bricklink XML format
6. Open the file that you downloaded in step one, copy all of its text, and paste it in the box that says Copy and paste here
7. Delete everything before the inventory tag (<Inventory>) at the beginning of the text (It will likely be <?xml version="1.0"?> followed by a dash on the line after it)
8. Choose or create a new Wanted list to add the parts to
9. Press the Proceed to verify items button at the bottom of the page
10. Make sure that you have the correct number of parts (Stated in the build's description on this page, and the wanted list will say something like,"Adding 47 Unique Items to 'Wanted List'.")
11. Once you're sure that you have all of the items, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Add to Wanted List

75182 Republic Fighter Tank Overhaul
This is a complete overhaul of Lego Star Wars set 75182. This build is my original design. In addition to the parts in the file below, you'll need to purchase Lego Star Wars set 75182, if you don't already have it. I have made a few slight changes to this build since I did the video on it, and parts have been added and removed from the parts list because of it. It should be pretty easy to figure out what I've done with these parts once you've built the model, but don't hesitate to reach out for help if you need it. To make sure that you've successfully uploaded all of the parts, there are 101 unique items in this parts list.

AT-RT Builds
There are three types of AT-RTs shown in this video. They take some inspiration from Masked Builder's AT-RT, which can be found in the description of the video. These builds are my own designs. Each parts list corresponds to the design in the video with the same number. The parts in these lists are the only ones you will need to complete each build. Type 1 has 34 unique items, type 2 has 37 unique items, and type 3 has 28 unique items.

75280 AT-RT Turret Mod
This video concerns my improvement of this AT-RT's turret. The mod moves the stud shooter included in the set a bit lower and adds a barrel to the walker, bringing it in line with previously released AT-RTs of this scale and increasing its display value. Some minor modifications to the rest of the walker are also included. This mod's parts list contains eight unique items.

75283 AAT Overhaul
This video showcases my improvement upon the AAT from set 75283, which, as presented in the set, is a very flawed build. I stated in my review of this set that this build could be fixed, with a lot of work, which is what I did here. The build takes some inspiration from previous sets and other builds online (see video description) and uses this as well as some design work to make large improvements on the original set's build in not only appearance but function. My overhauled design may be constructed with a copy of 75283 and the parts from the parts list below (93 unique items). This build may be enhanced by using stickers from 8018, but this is not required. Also, see the build instructions below.
