I might be too late but adding a 1 way mirror near the end, and then a mirror at the very end could help with an “endless” trench look. Would be awesome in a bookshelf.
So hyped he brought this back! I loved the Dark Trooper and Palace builds he made. Thanks for staying in touch with your fans, Ryan. LEGO could learn a thing or two.
I mean in this particular build the thing is that all three dioramas are very similar in design and if they would make the other trench wall it would look wrong next to the other two diorama sets.
Looks pretty sweet. The bonus is, you could take 1 side of the wall off to display it sideways. Then just reattach the side when you want to look at the trench. It’s a great set. I bought 2 and combined them, then took them apart and made 1. It’s a good set for extra parts too for other builds.
Wow great job. To display it, I’m thinking top down is the best view. I am visualizing a custom dining table with this trench running recessed down the middle with a glass table top. A lot of work and $$$ but the end result would be sweet.
Looks cool...you could add the other x-wings, Biggs and Wedge, but it all depends on at what stage of the run you want to display the scene(make a mini Millennium Falcon for the end). As much as I would love to make an extended trench I won't with this one, I have mine in one of those display boxes from Wicked Brick and I don't currently have enough space to display a bigger version anyways.
I extended mine by one plate but put in a transparent green lightsaber blade and spring loaded green bolt into the tower turrets to make it look like it’s firing. Makes it look more dynamic.
I'm new to Lego (coming from 3D rendering) and I just bought this kit to learn greebling, now i can order those small parts (and some hoses) to create techno walls. Thanks for the demo!
I would like to add an update here and say I have finally put together the double trench run set. And not only having the longer trench but the second Xwing added does make it a more complete set.
Very interesting video! I loved the new way of filming/ editting. Felt like a build/ vlog in one and it was very fun to watch! If I had so many trench run sets I think I would've just extended the height width and length of the set. For me it feels the Tie fighters and Xwing is a little bit too big and I think it would fix that perfectly. Nice job Ryan!
Making a large trench run with bigger ties and x wing and glossing it for a coffee table is something I always thought would be cool. It's doable even with the ucs sets. But that's so many pieces i dont have
Looks really nice in head-on view. Wonder if it would look as good if only used one set but added the other wall. Definitely wouldn’t have the nice long depth of field as your model. With the extra parts could’ve had Wedge’s and Bigg’s xwings in there. Maybe add a micro Falcon swooping in from top.
I started watching this the other day and just finished the last few minutes. It really came out nice bro. I see what you’re saying about display limitations, but if it’s on a low table and you can see it from the top, you’re good. Really cool idea.
09:43 least you could’ve done with all those extra pieces is make the turbolaser tower the correct size. They should be way bigger in comparison to the x wings and tie fighters!
I'd probably get three sets and build an elongated version of the original with Wedge's and Biggs' X-Wings flying protection for Luke's. Definitely stagger the turbo laser towers to give it a bit more depth. Maybe do Biggs' X-Wing disintegrating as one of the TIEs takes him out.
You are on to something here with this build... Does it make since to spend $400 on a bunch or random grey pieces, no. Does it make sense to spend all afternoon randomly attaching said grey piece, no. But does it look cool...hell yes. I'd add a back so it looks like it goes on longer, and make it even bigger (what's a couple hundred more bucks when you are in this far). Nice work.
A really cool idea for the spare pieces could be making a to scale Millennium Falcon to put trailing behind the Tie fighters, think that would really push that display to the next level.
With the new starship collection Millenium Falcon, it would scale pretty well with this setup. I was considering getting it to add it in high above the trench since it is the ship that ultimately takes out the tie fighters and reminds Vader about the spinning trick.
You might want to move the TIE's further back, it would give you room to shift the point in the Trench Run to an earlier point with Wedge and, potentially, Biggs providing cover for Luke
Put one of the walls on a hinge so you can either fold it open and have the scene be well visible from the side and easily displayed on a shelf or up for when you want to have complete trench.
This was really cool man. I think it wants you to cut a hole in your wall and display it through a small window with dope lighting added in...Or a deep bookshelf. But the sides definitely need to be covered.
What you should have done to avoid the ugly sides, is change the vantage point so that the xwing is facing the viewer, slant the model slightly downwards, but also have pieces that show the outer side of the trench. Pieces that would look like the inside, but be horizontal, just like the death star has. To explain this best in words, these new pieces would represent the outer-most layer of the sphere. With this new viewing angle, the sides are completely obscured by the new additions and you could then add tonnes more guns and details. I would have also used the other xwings as luke's wingmen, perhaps even one of them being shot down.
Looks great. If you have any black plates to clean up the back of that forward facing wall, at least you would’ve had all black anti-studs, instead of the two different grays.
Put it in a bookshelf or get an IKEA KALLAX shelf and build it into that. Those KALLAX shelves are 13 cubic inches so you can hide the ugly outside and build it up some while shrinking it’s overall length.
i said it once and ill say it again. LOVE these kinds of videos and i love that you keep doing them. also you should mount it to the wall in your room instead of trying to awkwardly fit it in a shelf where you’ll maybe maybe not get the affect you want
Hey boss... got a suggestion... build the surface portion of the death star and build it into a glass top coffee table. Will look great from all angles

I’m giving away 3 AT-TE’s on Whatnot this Saturday! www.whatnot.com/invite/mandrproductions follow me!
I'll be sure to be there 👍
Omg hi
how does whatnot work
I like this video idea this is so fun seeing it ge5 bigger
Wish I could enter but I cant cuz I never win Jack shit
I might be too late but adding a 1 way mirror near the end, and then a mirror at the very end could help with an “endless” trench look. Would be awesome in a bookshelf.
dang, cool suggestion
So hyped he brought this back! I loved the Dark Trooper and Palace builds he made. Thanks for staying in touch with your fans, Ryan. LEGO could learn a thing or two.
You seem very familiar
Why
I mean in this particular build the thing is that all three dioramas are very similar in design and if they would make the other trench wall it would look wrong next to the other two diorama sets.
Big fan of the alternative builds you do Ryan, they're always a refreshing new piece of content 👍
That opening with the set sliding in perfectly to your hands was smooooooooth
I’m loving this build series you’ve been doing by modding existing sets to make them better. Keep up the good work!
It looks great i think would get 4. Build the Lego has in mind, but make it wider and higher
Looks pretty sweet. The bonus is, you could take 1 side of the wall off to display it sideways. Then just reattach the side when you want to look at the trench.
It’s a great set. I bought 2 and combined them, then took them apart and made 1. It’s a good set for extra parts too for other builds.
your gonna be the reason that the next time I walk into the lego store the trench run is gonna be a top 10 best seller
Wow great job. To display it, I’m thinking top down is the best view. I am visualizing a custom dining table with this trench running recessed down the middle with a glass table top. A lot of work and $$$ but the end result would be sweet.
Put mirrors on both ends as well to make it look infinite. Things I would do if I was rich...
Yo Ryan please keep up the alternate builds series, it's absolutely amazing! Love all of your content bro
Looks cool...you could add the other x-wings, Biggs and Wedge, but it all depends on at what stage of the run you want to display the scene(make a mini Millennium Falcon for the end). As much as I would love to make an extended trench I won't with this one, I have mine in one of those display boxes from Wicked Brick and I don't currently have enough space to display a bigger version anyways.
The Microfighter version of the Falcon is decent enough for scale. With some modification it’s a great addition (mine is mounted on my trench run now)
3:38: "I am contemplating".. GOLD!
4:53 those are some strange looking Dogs
I extended mine by one plate but put in a transparent green lightsaber blade and spring loaded green bolt into the tower turrets to make it look like it’s firing. Makes it look more dynamic.
That looks soooo good,Nice moc!👍🏻
I'm new to Lego (coming from 3D rendering) and I just bought this kit to learn greebling, now i can order those small parts (and some hoses) to create techno walls. Thanks for the demo!
I personally believe the standard trench run set is small on its own. So having at minimum 2 sets makes it worthy.
I would like to add an update here and say I have finally put together the double trench run set. And not only having the longer trench but the second Xwing added does make it a more complete set.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A YEAR II O9VE THIS
I have a idea put a little falcon can put it on there so it looks like the movie
Bro I really like these alternate build videos! Also it looks awesome! keep it up!
Yes i love this series! ❤😊
if you wanted to make the walls not ugly, you could use Modified 2 x 2 Inverted tiles to make it flat and more sleek.
Truly amazing!! Well done! 👏
Very interesting video! I loved the new way of filming/ editting. Felt like a build/ vlog in one and it was very fun to watch!
If I had so many trench run sets I think I would've just extended the height width and length of the set. For me it feels the Tie fighters and Xwing is a little bit too big and I think it would fix that perfectly.
Nice job Ryan!
I'm so glad you did another alternate build! Love this series! Keep up the great work!
This builds are great! Keep the good work
I imagine that if he put some crashed x wings and y wings it would look more epic including red leader disengaging from the trench run
I thought it was a pretty nice build with trench detail. Your build is awesome!
Making a large trench run with bigger ties and x wing and glossing it for a coffee table is something I always thought would be cool. It's doable even with the ucs sets. But that's so many pieces i dont have
Really nice work and video, incorporating the sponsoring to this adventure ! 😏👏
I am loving these Alternate build videos! Keep up the great work Ryan!
Hanging this set on my wall while watching this, fit the mood very well 👍
U have 6 of those star wars logo plates right? Why not have the logo on all 6 sides since this moc doesnt seem to have a defined front
Looks really nice in head-on view. Wonder if it would look as good if only used one set but added the other wall. Definitely wouldn’t have the nice long depth of field as your model. With the extra parts could’ve had Wedge’s and Bigg’s xwings in there. Maybe add a micro Falcon swooping in from top.
I saw someone add a micro Millennium Falcon peaking over the wall and it made all the difference. I shall be stealing this idea for myself 🤩
My favorite of your alt builds so far!
Looks so cool
this deserves some cinematographic photographs!
you have lots of peices left over make the walls higher, add the additional Xwings and maybe get a mico scale Falcon and Y-wing add them on top
This would make a cool book nook
I started watching this the other day and just finished the last few minutes. It really came out nice bro. I see what you’re saying about display limitations, but if it’s on a low table and you can see it from the top, you’re good. Really cool idea.

This is my favourite out of all the dioramas
He should do one of these for duel on Mandalore
Beginning of the video was smooth 😮
I agree with you that the walls of the trench needed to be a bit taller... Having said that.. it looks amazing!
You are on to something here with this build... Does it make since to spend $400 on a bunch or random grey pieces, no. Does it make sense to spend all afternoon randomly attaching said grey piece, no. But does it look cool...hell yes.

0:12 "MOOOORE!"😂
More, MORE😂😂😂 love the intro
With the new starship collection Millenium Falcon, it would scale pretty well with this setup. I was considering getting it to add it in high above the trench since it is the ship that ultimately takes out the tie fighters and reminds Vader about the spinning trick.
this was my dream as a kid, great job love it!
If I could I’d make a custom coffee table of sorts. Center this piece in and inlay glass over top, then you have a nice display esc feel imo
These rebuild videos are awesome! I would love to see more in the future.
This series is an amaizing idea
10:55
"ah! he said it, he said it!"
-Peter Griffon
Brilliantly done.
Love your vids
Cool.
Thats a good set beside the price 😆
That's ace!
Could definitely make a cool book nook, making the walls taller at the expense of the length.
When Sands kept giving Ryan more sets it made me think of the “General Kenobi” moment!
I never thought this video would come 😊
This built into a coffee table with a glass top but wooden sides to cover the anti studs would be epic
You might want to move the TIE's further back, it would give you room to shift the point in the Trench Run to an earlier point with Wedge and, potentially, Biggs providing cover for Luke
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I already gave it a 👍. I love the alternative build videos
Do more of these alternative builds. They are very fun
Considering the original Death Star was done with props, I could see a collab being done for fun like this to recreate it
Looks awesome, keep up the amazing work man 👍
I’m loving the MandR mods videos
I love u doing those builds. U are an amazing builder
love the build and love the video
Put one of the walls on a hinge so you can either fold it open and have the scene be well visible from the side and easily displayed on a shelf or up for when you want to have complete trench.
Honestly just buying the two and slapping the second next to the first will probably be the path I'll take.
Now that I live in Florida again, I can be among the first to watch new Mandr Videos!
This was really cool man. I think it wants you to cut a hole in your wall and display it through a small window with dope lighting added in...Or a deep bookshelf. But the sides definitely need to be covered.
Glue a name plate on the front. They make these smooth black circular pieces that could fit on the outside. It's alot of work. But might look cool.
What you should
have done to avoid the ugly sides, is change the vantage point so that the xwing is facing the viewer, slant the model slightly downwards, but also have pieces that show the outer side of the trench.

I love what you have done
Well done!
The commitment to your channel is amazing! Keep up the great work Ryan
Thank you!
@@MandRproductions You’re welcome :)
I like these style of videos I liked the death star you made using the globe instructions and your palace and darktrooper hallway scene.
Put it in a bookshelf or get an IKEA KALLAX shelf and build it into that. Those KALLAX shelves are 13 cubic inches so you can hide the ugly outside and build it up some while shrinking it’s overall length.
Looks way better than expected, well done Ryan.
Insane
i said it once and ill say it again. LOVE these kinds of videos and i love that you keep doing them. also you should mount it to the wall in your room instead of trying to awkwardly fit it in a shelf where you’ll maybe maybe not get the affect you want
Love these videos
You must be from Boston, the “WICKED!” Gave it away 😂
Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey boss... got a suggestion... build the surface portion of the death star and build it into a glass top coffee table. Will look great from all angles
Great video!
looks really good!
You did great!! It looks awesome. I feel like the set ascended from a regular set to a MBS set!
I can’t wait I’m getting this for my birthday
Slick video!
could put the spare black panels on the side to make it 'more clean' looking and more consistent plus more structural
Youre camera was confused while filming the trench
Thats sick bro! Well done
