[MOC] Kage Goomba's TIE Defender (TIE/d) - Ready for QA/Testers (fully built in real life)

[Kage Goomba]

Decal Design looks great - posted in OP. :)

Still looking for guidance on a proper release of my MOC - manual/methodology/credit giving - etc.

Feel free to DM/hit me up - etc.

Oh, very nice! I've been out of town for weeks and haven't been following things, so it's cool to come back and see how well this has come along. It looks great!

As for how to publish it, if you're planning to make it available for free Rebrickable is probably the easiest option. You have numerous options, of course, up to and including making your own site to host it (the scale of the model would justify that, especially since you have the Otana in the works as well--that's the start of a serious collection), but given that you already have digital instructions for it just throwing it up Rebrickable would be the simple way to go.

Figured - but I could use some in-depth guidance - right now its rather raw - I'd like to polish it off - right now its likely the only "decent" TIE/d on the MOC board - and likely will not be replaced any time soon due to the severity of the nature of this beast in terms of complexity. :)

That and I'd like to make sure its not someone will pawn off as their own so watermarks would be nice - and I want to give credit to those who helped make this thing come to life.

Call it a practice run for the Otana

I've been invited to the Brickfest in Puyallup WA to put this TIE Defender on display - any of you fine gents attending? Please let me know!

 

Would appreciate some help however.

Never been to an convention before - any advise? Suggestions?

Thanks!

(August 11-13 for those who are curious - so plenty of time to sort things out)

Brickfest came and went - was tons of fun - The TIE Defender was a major hit and quite a few people where willing to build one out to help me test out the build/instructions.

 

I'll see about getting pictures posted - big thanks to everyone who helped make this thing become a reality - should bring lots of joy to a great many people to enjoy as well.

Some of you guys may see interest in your designs too :)

Stay tuned for pics and possible fixes as they come in!

I like this! Some pics aren't loading but the main one has. I really like all the angle plates you've used to make the supports. It's a very clean build.

Yeah - I consolidated the server I hosted them on so images are going to be broken - but if you need to see something specific - call it out - basically your just missing in progress builds/attempts/screaming/ranting/solution work outs.
With instructions posted and the final product - figured the first post was enough.

Also thanks for the compliment. :)
