Get from HERE 6972_-_Polaris-I_Space_Lab.zip

Known Inaccuracies:  
- Baseplate 32 x 32 with Craters missing: I made a very stylized alternative, I'll have to work on it, in the future.
- Space Window 4 x 4 x 6 Outward Sloping Corner (4737) replaced with a kludge of slope bricks. It was available in LDD3 version.
- Technic pin bush 1/2 with teeth (4265a) has been replaced with Smooth type (32123).
- Hinge Plate 2 x 5 missing (3149c01), replaced with... a bit of fantasy!
- I used minifig head with hollow stud (3626b) instead than old type (3626a).
- Many decorations missing, replaced if possible.

Comments:
It is my favorire Space Station. Surely it is not perfect, but I think the final result is enough good!

Time to give ADHO15 more competition.   
Accompanying the afore-mentioned ARC-170 Fighter-bombers were the Republic's new Alpha-3 Nimbus-class 6205 V-wing Starfighters. Agile enough to keep up with Tri-fighters and Eta-2 Actis Interceptors alike, they utilized the new TIE drive system.

.LXF File
Changes are the minifig, printed bricks changed or substituted, and I had to tweak the internal Technic structure in the wings due to a part not available in LDD, but it's not visible.

Try not to take it too personal man.  If you want, I can stop loading the things I build in LDD, that way you can have all the glory.     You build pretty fast.  I only get to play in LDD late at night for about an hour or so.  Took me at least a week to do Grievous.

No, it's fine. Really. It may be frustrating, but it's not fair for me to stop you. Keep up the good work.

What if you stick a Technic pin with stud into the #6 joint, run a 4L bar through that, and would the 1x1 rounds slide onto the bar? The assembly won't be perfect, but it'll it should work.

10194 Emerald Night (BrickLink - Brickset)


LXF file

Notes:

• For all 5.5L Technic axles with stop rings, I substituted in a 5L axle because of the stop ring glitch.
  
• The 1 x 2 brick with axle hole behind the furnace had to be replaced with a 1 x 2 panel. This does not allow the furnace to attach to the caboose via Technic pins and axles.
  
• The flame piece inside the furnace does not exist in LDD, so I used a trans-orange drill instead.
  
• The 1 x 2 tiles under the furnace have been replaced with 1 x 2 plates.
  
• I used a combination of four cheese slopes, one 1 x 4 tile and one 1 x 4 plate instead of the 2 x 4 x 2/3 slopes.
  The larger train wheels have been replaced with a different wheel. This replacement does not allow the Technic beams to attach to all three of the replacement wheels.

P.S. Thanks for the tag, Superkalle!

these are available, they are in the "windshield" submenu.

Hmm, I see you didn't add the hubcaps on the engines.
Question, though, how were you able to get the forward-most hinge brick in the nose to align?

No. Yours looks better with the replacements.
I didn't put the hinge bricks on the very front. That might have allowed the two sides to get closer to each other.

I'm seeing some multiple sets being listed here (two of which I know for certain I already posted.) Seeing as this is more of an index of sets than "hey look what I did", I'd like to reiterate an earlier suggestion to check the index on the front page which has been recently updated to see what sets are already posted and work on the sets that are not.

I know the ARC Starfighter and the 10186 General Grievous have been doubled.  What else?

Why can't there be multiples like in the review indexes in all the other forums? I think that's a good idea because you get to see different people's solutions to a common problem. There doesn't seem to be any problems with those indexes.
It seems pretty pointless to just throw out someone's work like that. I myself probably made the General Grievous statue before messiah1 made his, but I couldn't post it at the time.
Surely it can't be hard to add two of the same set.

Only change is that the beard is supposed to be a 1x1 round; apparently it gets too close to the cheese on the arms to be allowed in LDD.

[Randal]

Don't let me stop you from doing what you want, I was just under the impression that this was an encyclopedic index. I was just thinking that endless multiple redundancies would clog up the thread and make an already large project thread more confusing. But if you want to show your versions of what's already here, by all means, as long as the powers at be don't have a problem with it. ;)

Cool how it opens
I wouldn't call this an official Lego set though. I suppose the minimum criteria for posting in this topic should be that instructions was/is available to the general public.

About that 1x1 round that can't be placed. I can't see how that can be fitted even with real bricks. Have you built the model with physcial bricks? How was the fit?

As general information, designers at LEGO uses a rule of thumb that you should be able to slide a piece of paper between bricks in these sort of cases. Can you do that? If you can then there is a problem in LDD. If you can't - Illegal building technique.

[Calabar]

Index Updated.

Waiting for:
- Brickdoctor's explanation about "officiality" of his Sarcophagus
- professor flitwick's folder in brickself became public.
to complete the work.

[Superkalle]

If the Sacophagus was indeed an official set, it should off couse be here - it was just that I didn't think so. Anyway, let's await the response from the Doc on the subject

7029 Skeleton Ship Attack

For some reason, the arch piece on the front of the ship doesn't fit. I suspect there's some sort of collision with the front of the ship and the arch.

My brother encountered that error. Can't remember if I reported it. It doesn't seem like it's an error that exists with the actual piece, but since I don't have any sets with that hull I can't say for sure.

Aren't there supposed to be a couple of dark silver spheres as ammo for the catapult? The sphere piece in question can be found under the Technic bullet, listed as "ball [diameter symbol]16,5". The diameter symbol is a circle with a diagonal line through it.
