Lego Dino 500 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 This is really good looking! I admit, I'd never be able to pump anything this good out in LDD this fast, but how are you going to support the structure? I'd personally use some dale bricks, wedges, and hinges and try to build a stable, solid arch throughout the round sections. That'd compromise you the playability and interior you want, and get a semi decent framework which should support the weight properly. Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Near as I can remember, all questions concerning real-world strength / structural integrity have been ignored... At this point, I just assume it's an LDD-only project. I stand corrected. He talked about a metal structure on page 2. Edited October 16, 2014 by rollermonkey Quote
Hesoyam Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Any updates on the project? I'm so anxious to see the final model Quote
Fuppylodders Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Problem is, with his interior as he has done it, and the exterior, even the cockpit area will struggle to hold itself up. There is a lot of plates and height on that, with very little room for support. I'd like to be proven wrong though Quote
will Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Even as a concept it's pretty impressive. I'm not that bothered if it doesn't actually hold up, I'd still like to see the scale of this thing given it's current build. Quote
Fuppylodders Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Oh same, definitely! He is putting alot of detail into it so it'll still be an impressive concept at least! Quote
Lego Dino 500 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I'm hoping he left enough room to brace it with some technic and classic technic beams throughout thee hull. The part that seems most likely to collapse are the tubular sections to the docking rings and cockpit, and likely the entire cockpit. It'll be interesting to see this fold out. I personally would've started on the saucer and not jump around to different components. I can't wait for the next update and whether the Minifigure scale Millennium Falcon I'm working on will hold up to his. Quote
Jules35 Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 He hasn't posted in 6 weeks. He's probably trapped under a collapsed pile of gray Lego pieces. Quote
Koenta Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Hello vc59755 are you still working on this behemoth? If so pplease post some pics Quote
StarWars8Spoiler Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I just stumbled across this topic and I was very impressed with the progress so far, but it's been over a year since the topic creator has posted in it, and the creator hasn't been online since October 2014. Should this be locked? Quote

Should this be locked? yes i know its been a bit Quote
Inthert Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Stumbled across this a while ago on Flickr, so glad I rediscovered it! it looks to be a very ambitious project, really looking forward to seeing it progress. :) Quote
All in the Reflexes Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Some amazing detail in this and props for making the landing gear from 2000 pieces!! But surely this needs a structure first before designing all this or its just going to collapse? Quote
vc59755 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Posted December 27, 2016 is very hard to get large amounts of legos Quote

VaderFan2187 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 I honestly feel without enough Technic pieces for a frame, this won't hold up in real life. However, great concept, looks awesome! Quote
vc59755 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) so im up to about 9500 lbs. of legos and still no where near all the pieces need but man i should open a lego store had to build a 3500 sqft building just to hold them all and sorry im not on much had heart failure with preserved function is i get better in will be on more Edited March 8, 2017 by vc59755 Quote
