Magical Duck Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Hi, all, After lurking around the forum for a bit, I decided it was time to post my first MOC. This is a Star Destroyer, made from the parts in 42028 Bulldozer set. Overview: I started this MOC while experimenting with different frames and connections between parts. After some trial and error, I created a triangular frame with the sides bent in. Having just seen The Last Jedi, I was obsessed with all things Star Wars and decided to attempt an ambitious build for my low skill level- a Star Destroyer. Given that I am not the kind of person who likes to mix their sets together, I eventually settled on the 42028 set to create this MOC from- not only because the low parts count would provide a challenge, but also it would be kind of fun to see a yellow... Banana Destroyer? The frame was primarily constructed of beams and perpendicular connectors: (Note that this construction, while fitting together properly, created some stress on the parts- portions of the front push each other a bit owing to the tightness of the frame. But it's the best solution I could find given the space/ parts available. ) After that was complete, I built the engines and the distinctive cabin and attached them: Features: Authentic body shape Posable turbolasers Built entirely from parts in 42028 Bulldozer set Detailed engines and cabin More Pictures: I hope you enjoyed my MOC! Thank you for stopping by, and I appreciate all feedback, comments, and suggestions! Regards, Magical Duck Edited July 25, 2018 by Magical Duck Quote

WvG_853 Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I’m still amazed you saw the potential to build a star destroyer from a bulldozer! Very original and well executed! I also don’t like mixing my sets and am therefore a big fan of C-models. Quote

zux Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Building small scale Star Destroyer from Technic is quite a challenge on its own. Making it a C-model is amazing! Quote

ColletArrow Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 An unusual but impressive C-model, and certainly not one might expect from that particular set! Even the placement of the stickered parts works well. Excellent job! Quote
gyorgyz98 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 This is why I love lego You can get a star destroyer even you bought just a bulldozer :D Quote
Mirc Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Ver nice alternate build. I have this lego model and i`m not happy with the original version. Do you still have some instructions for building the star destroyer? Thank you :). Quote

Unfortunately, I gave the set away shortly after making this model to clear some shelf space and I never got around to making instructions. I'll see if I can still piece it together on mecabricks from the pictures. Quote
