Lego Fett Posted May 25, 2015 This is the thread where you tell your upcoming MOCS. My next mocs will be the Yurik-Et (Yuuzhan vong starship) and a MOC I've been planning to do in a long long time! I will make "Star Forge final duel". Both will be in LDD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NNOPMOC Posted May 25, 2015 Last night I decided to give LDD a try, called a halt at 2am, then started again at 9am and have been building for about 12 hours now. Last week I told some people that I was planing to CAD my UCS scale Speeder bike. I'm about 90-95% done with just the 'assembly' to do - which will proabalby take me another day because of getting hinges and plates to agree to line up. The flexi-hoses I'm leaving alone as there is no possible way to wind them like my original. Full notes when I post the completed results. Next project likely to be a CAD build of a UCS scale Vader TIE Fighter, then a series of TIE Fighter variants to the same scale as the TIE Advanced Prototype (75082). Maybe after that I will CAD the photo build notes of my SSD Executor. [i wish LDD had a "mirror" function.] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NNOPMOC Posted May 26, 2015 To save me valuable LDD CAD time, can anyone point me in the dirtection of a good information source, either a book or online, of ship dimensions and even cut-aways. I'm trying to build USC scale models to the same scale as the recent TIE and Slave 1, which appear to be to correct minifig scale (please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong in that assumption),or at least to a common unit scale. A Sith Infiltrator is also on my "to-do" list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted May 26, 2015 I know their is some books with cut-aways out their. I would suggest checking out your local library for the books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H_Solo Posted May 26, 2015 I'm currently on my last orders for a Hangarbay 327 for the UCS Falcon...very excited to begin my first MOC (even when its only based on a rebrickable... I'll try to incoporate my own ideas, though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cold_fuzion Posted May 26, 2015 Upscaling the Ghost. I'm planning to roughly double the size of the official version. Not sure how well that will work as I've never really tried anything as complicated as this will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Fett Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Let us call this teasing :-) <snip> Ooh, and im guessing that is the Nebulon-B escort frigate? Edited June 2, 2015 by MKJoshA Please don't quote pictures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samlr Posted May 26, 2015 Ooh, and im guessing that is the Nebulon-B escort frigate? After 2-3 hundred more hours of work, I hope :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Fett Posted May 26, 2015 After 2-3 hundred more hours of work, I hope :-) Just the front part will take 3/4 of the work. Its very big compared to the back. Also there will be a need of greebling and detailing on the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samlr Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) The front already took a lot of the work and there are several things I'm not satisfied with. Same with the back actually ... It's a much more complex design I would of initially thought, but well, I am not stopping now !!!!!! You've designed a Nebulon-B escort frigate ?

Raskolnikov Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I'm liking the look of that Nebulon B. Can't wait to see it finished. I'm currently working on an Imperial Star Destroyer. The goal is to make a larger, better looking, more durable, and more "playable" Star Destroyer than the UCS version. Mine will be 50+ inches long, which makes it significantly larger than the UCS. It also will have more than triple the piece count and will be several times heavier. Currently, I think I've finally got the kinks worked out of the support structure (it's about the sixth version of the support structure, at this point -- it's been challenging), which is partially complete. The top panels/deck are somewhat complete as well. Instead of using magnets or hinges, each panel slides into place on long slide rails, then locks into place. The goal is for the panels to be both secure and easily removable. I think I have most of the pieces I need, but I expect I'll be working on it for another two months or so. Six 75055 Star Destroyers have been purchased and scraped for parts, so far, and there's been about a dozen bricklink orders (I don't formally plan things out ahead of time, so the project has gradually changed and grown in scale). This will easily be my largest and best MOC to date. Edited May 26, 2015 by Raskolnikov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, but as a diehard fan i know what the nebulon looks like and i know its easily one of the most complex ships! Just take a look at that front! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samlr Posted May 27, 2015 Nope, but as a diehard fan i know what the nebulon looks like and i know its easily one of the most complex ships! Just take a look at that front! Yes, it is a very complex ship. And you can add constraints due to the scale, the numerous details, the curves (some impossible to recreate). I personally also added a building price limit; 300euros (I am at 7000 parts for the moment ...). I couldn't find any instructions for building this ship, now, I know why !

aaroncb Posted June 3, 2015 No MOCs in my future, if it counts however I'm going to try and figure out how to jack up / lift my 8098 turbo tanks, and figure how to incorporate the Death Star troopers battle pack cannon onto the roof of one of them and finally make a decent pop on/off rectangular falcon radar dish for my 7965 before episode 7 comes out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg Posted June 3, 2015 I've recently modded my 75003 A wing (New gun pods and cockpit), my 9492 Tie Fighter ( better, more accurate overall shape, New cockpit interior) and my 7965 Falcon ( improved mandibles, more detail/greebling, moved cockpit back, changed look of engine ). I was a bit bored by their 'out of the box' design, the Tie especially bothered me. I had a few issues trying to move the Falcons cockpit but I'm happy with the results. I just ran out of spare elements so the six rear engine ports and the quad lasers will have to wait. Now I just need to figure out how to post photos from my android phone and I can show them !

Sir von Lego Posted June 4, 2015 I am working in my next interpretation of a famous Film scene (After the podrace Arena 2012 and Battle of Endor back in 2010), no it will ne from E2 and will cover the final battle at the end of that Movie, the fight Yoda vs Dooku and much more... Still collecting parts and minifigs (over 2.000 Geonosian droids and 700 clones at the moment). Greetings. Hendrik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I would really like to see how you did the tie fighter, so looking forward to pics I can't promise they'll be to everyone's taste but I think it looks 'rounder' and the wing struts look nicer too Like I said though, I have to figure how to post them from my phone! Do I need to post them to another site and paste the link here? Edited June 4, 2015 by miles teg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuyDudeMan27 Posted June 4, 2015 You'd need to go theough a computer no matter what. I would suggest a Flickr account so that the pictures are easy to get from your phone to computer. From there you just need to copy the BBcode (found in the share menu) of the picture from Flickr, and paste it right into your text. I hope this makes it easier for you, and I'm looking forward to the pictures as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
