Lego Macross SDF-1

[BrickSash]

Back in December 2015 I posted a Lego Digital Designer WIP of my Macross SDF-1.

It's been 12 months since then and the build is no longer just digital.

Along the way I made a number of changes, including some improvements to the structural integrity.

Around 9000 bricks have been used for the SDF-1 itself. Additional 2000 bricks for both carriers, which are not in the pictures.

I opted to make the build not transformable. I wanted something sturdy that can be picked up and moved if necessary, not something flimsy that would

collapse under it's own weight.

Total length of the build is 1.1 meters or around 43 inches.

Holy moly!!! How much does that beauty weigh and cost to build?

These are the times I wish I had the parts list and instructions, but with this, it's probably out of my price range to try to gather all the parts. I would like to attempt some of the smaller manned mecha like the Spartan, Monster, etc.

Thanks ! It's definitely heavier than the 10179 Millennium Falcon. My estimate is around 15kg. As for the cost, I bought the bricks over a span of 1 year, I didn't really keep track. I most likely went beyond the 2000$ mark.  That includes everything, the stands and the 2 carriers that are not in the pictures. I have to say though that I only went for brand new bricks. The technic parts for the inner frame drove the cost up.
