[Legofan225]

Hello!!

This is me here and l wonted to share an idea for a MOC does anyone remmember the Star Wars Empire at War Pirate asault frigate ??

Well just yesterday l was playing EAW and l gotted an idea from the game to create this awsome asault ship MOC by using lego technic parts so l'm planing to buy some lego technic sets and to use some parts from my old Bionicle sets to build this MOC and l wonted to ask is it an awsome idea ?? also l wonted to ask is would it look good if use the Mini BackHoe loader wheles for Jets for the ship ??

P.S this will be my very first Lego Technic MOC

I think the same thing..

Create the central skeleton in technic and all the rest with normal Lego bricks, you can make it more detailed and similar to the real version

To use normal bricks hmm well okay then thank you for the advice guys !!

I've seen some pretty awesome Technic sci-fi mocs in the past, and I'm all for seeing this done in Technic. And, LEGO Technic had some Star Wars sets back about 10 years ago.

I don't recognize the assault frigate, but if you can replicate some of the functions (landing gear, doors, etc) and make it look good, I think it would be a nice moc.

IMHO, I don't think the yellow wheels from the mini-backhoe loader will look good. Black or grey would be better and can be purchased off bricklink cheap.

If you get wheels from ebay, or bricklink, make sure they are new, as 75% of used small wheels i have brought have been cracked!!

A okay then l will get starting then thank you guys for the advice !!! and also l will go sketch l little bit for the details of the ships interior and thank you for the advice in looking for some lego technic wheels online thank you guys also l will look online for the funcions of the ship

The BL-stores I have been to, have stated that items listed as used are in a very good condition with no significant signs of usage unless stated otherwise.

Did those cracked tires come from sellers who said they were in a good shape, and may have lied, or could they have checked the tires and failed to notice cracks, you think?

Either way, I only buy items listed as new. I don't wanna waste money on used items that may have damages, and I haven't had the need of items I can only get used anyway.

I was about to post the same link

All of Drakmins models are pretty awesome. He is now working on a 120cm X-Wing, although there's not much progress lately.

So, can it be done in Technic? Sure, why not. Will it be easy (especially for your first MOC)? Hell no

Yes, that's what I meant. Only yesterday while browsing some American BL-stores to find the name of a part, I found some part with a description of the condition in addition to "used".

Yes if you've never built anything out of Lego Technic before, starting small is definitely the way to go
