Aaron Morse Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Little something I'm working on with my two boys Quote
Derek Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Good Lord! That thing is ginormous! Hopefully you have enough bricks to finish it, you probably would be surprised. If worse comes to worse, I suppose you could take some off of the back... Can't wait to see updates. Quote
Natman8000 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 ACCLAMATOR! I was hoping someone would start one of these. The frame looks promising and huge I can't wait to see how you will pull this off. Quote
Darth Legolas Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Oh my dear sweet barrel of sugar! That things in incredible! So much interior space! You can practically put an AT-TE or two there! I really can't was for the final! Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 A little something he says.... That looks promising Aaron, good work on the frame. Did you get plans or dimensions of the real thing before you got started? Good luck with it! Quote
Oky Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Wow! That's almost minifig scale! Looks promissing. Quite a big project, though. If you succeed with it, I'll be very impressed! Quote
Aaron Morse Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 Mostly got the dimensions from pics on line and EaW. The hardest problem with something this size is keeping structural integrity. I've only used up 1/4 to 1/5 of my technic dark bley girders. We've already moved it off the kitchen table anddown to the Lego Room in the double garage before my wife got too mad at us. It was fairly sturdy after we added another 3 rows of "ribs" along the "keel" I'll post more pics on the weekend. Quote
CommanderCody77 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Finally somebody is making a Acclamator. The frame looks huge! Will you put your entire army in there when its finished? This is great so far Keep up the good work Quote
Aaron Morse Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 yup, we have somewhere between 150-200 Storm/Clone Troopers, it should be well staffed. Quote
drdavewatford Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Looks like you're building the 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer, which starts out with the construction of 2 huge 'A' frames back to back. Interested to see how your ship turns out. 10030 is notoriously fragile, so hopefully you can avoid this problem without making the whole thing weigh about 10 tons ! Dr. D. Quote

Dr. D. I'm pretty sure it's WAY bigger than the star destroyer set. Quote
Eskallon Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Wow that looks great so far. This is a great progect you are taking on. I will have to watch out for updates. Also you should definatly make an inside for it. You could get a whole huge minifig scale hanger bay in there. Anyway good job so far. Quote
Future74 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I think it's too soon to form an opinion. You will need a lot of bricks to complete it if it's going to be that size, but it looks interesting. Keep us posted Quote
prateek Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Wow! That's almost minifig scale! Looks promissing. Quite a big project, though. If you succeed with it, I'll be very impressed! minifig scale would be 4x that size. This right now is pretty big. I'm surprised it fits on the table. Can't wait to see the final product Quote
vulture droid Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 When it is finished, what color scheme is it going to be? Straight up grey, or the red-striped open circle fleet colors like we have been seeing in the Clone Wars TV show? Quote
Aaron Morse Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 I was planning on doing it in all Light Grey but I've just been informed by my 7 year old that it will be like the one in The Clone Wars. Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Wow, thats a strudy looking construction Now, the question of the day, do you have enough bricks for the rest? Your box of lego is going to look like this --> :skull: Quote
RileyC Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 wow thats so ginormous! I would really like to see some pictures of how far you have progressed. I hope you are able to finish it. :cry_happy: Quote
drdavewatford Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) I'm pretty sure it's WAY bigger than the star destroyer set. 10030 is a meter long, so it's unlikely to be much bigger......! If it does turn out to be bigger, however, and pieces are added for stability (rather than relying on magnets), you will need a crane to lift it ! Dr. D. Edited March 13, 2009 by drdavewatford Quote
Bounty Hunter Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Wow, baby! Is that thing Huge! Good luck finishing it! Quote
Millacol88 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 10030 is a meter long, so it's unlikely to be much bigger......!If it does turn out to be bigger, however, and pieces are added for stability (rather than relying on magnets), you will need a crane to lift it ! Dr. D. Well, its nearly as long as his kitchen table, which seats six, and so is probably longer than a meter. just saying. Perhaps the builder can confirm/debunk this? Quote
Loganwan Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I cannot wait to see how all of the pieces will go together with the frame. It will be interesting to see how you build the engines and such. There is no using wheels as engines on this project. Quote
Aaron Morse Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 Its currently a shade over 5 feet (1.6m) and will be slightly longer once the "tail fin" thats sticks out past the engines is put on. Quote
Skipper 24 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I was planning on doing it in all Light Grey but I've just been informed by my 7 year old that it will be like the one in The Clone Wars. Is that the one with the red markings and open circle thingy insignia like in one of the recent CW episodes? Good work with this I can't wait to see it finished. Will it have opening doors to deploy troops and vehicles? Quote
Millacol88 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Its currently a shade over 5 feet (1.6m) and will be slightly longer once the "tail fin" thats sticks out past the engines is put on. That's around what I expected. How are you progressing with this? I'd love to see it finished, lets just hope you don't run out of bricks. Also, how do you go about designing something like this? Do you draw it out beforehand or just think as you go? Either way, I'm anticipating the final ship! Quote
