Rook Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Oh it isn't the best ship I've built but it does win first place for the biggest. At around 40lbs and 5 feet 6 inches this minifig scale Action IV Cargo Transport takes the cake for the Rook collection of MOC's. Hours to build = unknown. Ship modifications include: extended rear hanger bay for extra cargo, 2 side twin laser cannons, 2 side twin sonic missile launchers, 2 twin rear guard laser cannons, 2 forward devastating ion cannons with enough juice to put an ISD in to an eternal nap, kitchenette, dinning area, bathroom, shower room, several sleeping areas, rear data center, front cargo bay, maintenance bay for speeders and smaller vehicles, a luxury command control center, a current crew of 15 plus 4 droids, 2 speeder bikes, 2 speeders, 1 raft, 1 motor cycle, 1 cargo sled. Also includes special guest appearance by Luke Skywalker and Dack Ralter. Yes I know this doesn't fit into any story line, but they are there never the less. 55 Picture Gallery Quote
Vaders_son Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Wow great work! It's huuuuuge! And there's so much detail in it, very cool Sweet little vehicles you made for it, too It's just a little bit weird colored at some places, but that's not that bad as you don't see them if the outer hull is closed Great! You're a very talented builder I'd say :thumbup: Best regards, Benny Quote
Deinonychus Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 That's great! Out of all the Star Wars freighters and capital ships I'd never dream of building an Action IV, but that one is very cool and I'm glad you decided to share. Quote

You're a very talented builder I'd say :thumbup: Best regards, Benny Thanks. I'll give you some back story. I was talking about pushing the limits of MOC size, when I decided I better show everyone what I mean. I had built MOC's about 100 studs long before. I had been saying you can build really big just use one "ish" color on the out side and fill the inside with whatever. In this case I didn't even really touch my "blues" and was able to build a MOC twice as long as anything I had ever built before. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Well done attempting such a large build! and pulling it off! it looks great, i dont mind the different colours all that much either. The crew looks cool too, keep up the good work! Enormous MOC on! Quote
JimBee Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 wow! your best work, i think. its so big! and the detail is outstanding! maybe you deserve an "expert MOCer" tag? Quote
Asuka Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 An inspiring and well thought-out work, an original and impressive ship indeed. It looks cool on the outside and´s equipped with a wonderful interior, and there´s even a shower! I especially like those clever slide-out compartments and how the little crafts´re stored. Neat!

Rook Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks everyone for you're comments. I've started to recycle the pieces for a few contests that are going on right now. I'm 2 hrs into ripping it apart. Looks like I'm about half way so 4 hrs just to take it apart. Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Freakn' Shweet! I like it ! It is minfig scale, right? Quote
Rook Posted June 9, 2008 Author Posted June 9, 2008 Freakn' Shweet! I like it ! It is minfig scale, right? Yep. Sure is. That's my prefered scale of building. Only time I build nano, micro, or UCS is for contests. Quote
BlueBard Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Wow! Nice Wild Karrde, you really did a good job, specially building it in MF scale! Quote

If so, I'd like to see some more of your work, 'cause I that ship! from me! Quote
Dragonator Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 That is a beautiful ship with some nice details! The interior is very realistic, that's something I like to see. I look forward to your future works! Quote
