    Get two 4L technic axles too - they make the construction sturdy. Stick them in the arch and use them connect the arches together.

    [MOC] Imperial Star Destroyer - The Eviscerator

    Absolutely stunning! The gruelling is jaw dropping. The best ISD to date. Hands down. Really looking forward to this becoming available. Plans on adding an interior minifig scale bridge? If the internal structure allows? Anywho - kudos!!!

    Elevator v2 by ekrangnes, on Flickr Eureka!!! Consists of a technic link chain and one link thread inserted into a 2L liftarm Add an axle to guide the travel and voila! Very compact, fast and effective.

    Cool @Lock! Nice lifting function ?

    Glad that I was able to be of inspiration @TravisH44 :-) The travel is an issue with the elevator design as stated original post; regardless of the compact the design. The way I tuned it for maximum effect is that I drove it all the way to the bottom; built up the base so the shields just barely would clear the minifig hair; and then when at the very top the shields should be exactly at the waist. I'd love to see that the minifig actually properly got all the way up. I am working on an alternative liftarm and actuator approach to try to solve that - if I am successful I will share.

    Read through this thread from start to finish my friend. Find the ones you want to do. I.e. Lock has a few mods that are pretty well documented that will achieve exactly that.

    I saw this one a bit back - and as an engineer I have always loved the mechanical marvel of the dilating sci-fi doors. A really good challenge in Lego - that it is certainly true. And to be perfectly honest, there has been quite a few iterations to say the least... The design is all mine - I haven't seen anything similar. Mind the transitions between the worm gears when assembling; the path needs to be continuous in order for it work. Thanks for the kind words. A lot of good stuff shared here in this thread and I am happy to contribute. Let's keep it up :-)

    Update above. If someone can find a good way to gear up the elevator to get some speed into it I'd be a happy camper.

    Various new concepts I haven't seen here before that I plan to use on mine: Turret seat: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pCdEUQxkz71G9crZanbcXVTOEScbKr_/view?usp=sharing Ground Buzzer - front and back. The vertical black axle will lower/raise the gun. The grey one will rotate it : https://imgshare.io/image/screenshot-2019-07-09-214309.OcW9f https://imgshare.io/image/screenshot-2019-07-09-214320.Ocjoq I have a concept for the dilating hatch as well with elevator - let me try to build it first and I will share if it works :-)

    @SquirrelArmy The panels on the sides nor bottom is an issue. Looking at SNOTing the bottom half right now, so let’s see how it turns out. As for a stand; the efferman-stand is a piece of art. Let’s see if I can come up with a variant. Though I might need to tilt it upright for space/display reasons. There is room in the frame and the structure is sturdy, so it should be doable. Let’s see when we get there after the underbelly.

    @Lock You lose a couple of studs as the folding section is 4 sections wide. Video here: https://streamable.com/rbcow
