Its an amazing model, I think one of the best MOC's of a very uncommon Lego model ever made. The attention to detail is amazing. I get paid in 10 days, I might just treat myself to the book, and get the bricks over time like I do when I tend to brick link models. It took me a good few months to collect the bricks for a Death Star II .. So anything is possible. But kudos to the designer. Amazing MOC. Thanks so much! I'm glad my MOC likes you. These days I'm working on the next project ... Quote

Freezingvettes99 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I decided to purchase all new bricks to build mine. Here are some photos of the finished MOC, I have to agree with everyone else that the instructions were amazing! The included file for the parts purchase from bricklink made that almost effortless as well. Thank you Mirko for sharing this!

TemjinStrife Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Having built mine (and really love it) and after watching the movie again, I wonder if the UCS Snowspeeder windshield might make a better fit for the underside, somehow? Quote

In my view no. It is too wide and the tilt is incorrect. Then it would be necessary to redesign the front of the hull. Side air intakes would be scaled down and become too small. Quote
merman Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) So could someone tell me what are the rarest or most expensive parts? What boat weights are used? A list of all parts would really be welcome. It does not spoil anything or harms the effort of the designer, but it gives me an idea what to expect... Edited January 23, 2018 by merman Quote
Slawars Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 that is a great model ... is there the possibility to build it and to go stones hunting. Quote

There are no very rare parts and the average to buy pieces varies between 0.10 and 0.15 euros per piece. It depends a lot on your research and purchasing skills and depends on whether you want only new or used parts. The total cost varies from 300 to 450 euros as confirmed by some people who built it. If you are very loose at home, you will probably spend less. Also all the red pieces that you find in the instructions you can replace them with any color because they are not in sight. Quote
Slawars Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 are there still instructions available? would be very interested in it. or have all been sold, which would be a pity. Quote

As Mirko says no rare parts. The most expensive piece was the canopy that was about £5. I had a large inventory so already had 50% of the bricks and it cost me about £120 to source the remaining bricks. If you can pick up a cheap version of the Lego U-wing set then that will provide you with a lot of parts, including the canopy and also you get a few of the minifigures. It’s a great set and actually outshines a lot of the official UCS sets from Lego Quote
Slawars Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 how long did you build it until it was finally finished. It is a very nice and beautiful model. you could almost fall in love :-D PS. have sent you my data and I'm looking forward to the U-wing. Quote
merman Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 grr I have ordered all pieces, but my biggest 2000 piece order was sent back by Dutch mail to the seller. No idea why! When will you update this list of pilots Mirko? Quote

merman Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I just finished building it and here are my thoughts: - it is reallt really impressive and huge with some interesting building techniques - the different angles of the fuselage are amazing and so is the technique used for the sliding doors - the engines, that use about 1/3 of all the pieces are my favorite part, amazing cylinder shape and very impressive i would highly recommend getting it and Mirko put a lot of thought and care into it. A few parts could use some improvement, mainly because they are a bit flimsy: the doors, seats and landing gear fall off quite easily. Also, it is quite hard putting the sides into place, because of 7 hinges that need to click in sync. I spent about €500 for all new parts, shipping included. It does help Lego has started to produce the 6 x 8 Technic frames in white again (these are in the Taj Mahal 10256). Edited February 16, 2018 by merman Quote
