All in the Reflexes Posted February 1, 2016 After building my minifig scale T-70 i got the urge to go bigger and start an UCS version. So here she is besides her little sister, hope you enjoy the pics and build. Also a big shout out to usfighting and his amazing T-65 he made here... http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=104810, amazing model and big inspiration in making mine.

Marmite Posted February 1, 2016 These are both really nice, well done! I actually quite fancy building that smaller version though. Do you have any instructions etc for that one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anio Posted February 1, 2016 Interesting approach. Nice result, kinda weak/fragile though. I tried (well, I just spent a few minutes on the matter...) to do an UCS T-70 X-Wing. I started with a 10240 basis. But I couldn't find a way to make nice, reliable and accurate air intakes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the kind words guys :) @Marmite - Here is my thread with LDD files :) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117815#entry2396616 Interesting approach.

But I couldn't find a way to make nice, reliable and accurate air intakes... Thanks Anio, im actually building this at the moment(pics will follow when its finished) The fuselage is actually quite sturdy(lots going on under the hood), my only concern is the hinges for the wings. It only has one function though, to look accurate and stay still :D Edited February 1, 2016 by All in the Reflexes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FTG Prime Posted February 1, 2016 Wow dude it looks amazing !! Great job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottishDave Posted February 1, 2016 That's a lovely T-70 . It's also - as advertised - UCS scale. Huge! I've spent the last few minutes flipping through the reference photos I used when I was building my t70 moc, and comparing them to your model. I think you've nailed it in almost every way. You've got the major proportions just right, and it looks really smooth. I also really the way that you've scaled up the engine intakes. If I may be allowed one minor quibble: I'm not sure if the 30 degree slopes between the engines and the wing are the best part. In particular, there seems to be too much flat area between the top of the slope and the curve of the engines. May I suggest using 18 degree slopes instead? That's the only real quibble I have, however, and I very much look forward to seeing pictures of this beastie in real bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All in the Reflexes Posted February 1, 2016 Cheers for the kind words Dave :) You are probably right about those slopes, in looking at the studio models the area looks pretty similar but in terms of cleaner lines, the 18 degree ones will probably look much better!

All in the Reflexes Posted February 6, 2016 Silly me, realised i hadnt shown it with wings closed and landing gear UCS-T-70-Black-white by David F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigEl Posted February 7, 2016 Looks pretty awesome, especially from the back! But considering the amount of parts and the size of the wings, they surely would drop like crazy in an assembly of real lego parts right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping not, i made sure there was plenty of connection for wings and engines so my only concern is the hinges. We shall see though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janeway Posted February 7, 2016 This looks absolutely fantastic, I adore the way the cockpit comes together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottishDave Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks for the aditional photos. I love the use of the classic wheel arches for the rear landing skids, and I see you've even put bay doors on the front landing gear. Wow. Regards, (another) David F. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obiwan1011 Posted February 7, 2016 Awesome build. Very sleek-looking and absolutely love from the nose to the cockpit section. The colour also reminds me of Hi-Nu Gundam. ;) How many bricks? Does it have a landing gear? The black version suggest it does, but just double-checking... Will you be sharing the LDD file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trooper 278 Posted February 8, 2016 This is really very well done. I like it a lot. Great job!! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All in the Reflexes Posted February 8, 2016 Cheers guys :) @obiwan1011, its landing gear is clip on at the moment, doesnt fold away. At the moment its 1600 pieces. If there is enough interest i might let the plans go for a small fee, lot of work went into this, i'll see how i feel when its made in bricks and enough people would enjoy the build :) Awesome build.

Sickboy Posted February 9, 2016 I signed in only to say that this is trully amazing. I am a big fan of the X-Wing and in SW7 they really took the original drawing of Ralph Mcquarrie and brought it to the next level. This Lego version is superb, you definitely nailed it. I tought the 10240 was a nice version but yours is in a league of it's own. I would not hesitate to pay for your plans. Again, this is incredible work. Let us know if you ever start selling these plans, thanks. Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
analogkid81 Posted February 9, 2016 +1 for the instructions. Looks awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kit Bricksto Posted February 12, 2016 I already liked your smaller version of this ship but the UCS really does make it look small. I think that all the slopes work much better at this scale. The nose area looks much smoother, as do the engines and the cockpit. This would definitly be a great addition to any UCS collection! Looking forward to seeing it built in real bricks.
