[rockpig]

I know that this is 48" long. Does anyone have the height and width?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Mr Ogel]

according to this instructions it is 121 x 53 x 54 (cm)

Just a heads up, that's Brick Bob's version not the one mortesv worked on. It's pretty much the exact same with a few added details, so the dimensions may be slightly off.

I'm going to be remastering the instruction manual and design mortesv and I worked on as a part of a Rebel Fleet Collection later this year. Same thing as the other ones I've worked on recently, anyone who got this one from me will get all the updates for free. More to come soon!

Just a quick help has anyone got a fix for the last pod (the one with all the DBG grates) i can't seem to able to get them all to connect and stay connected properly, any help / advice is greatly apreciated

Don't know if this thread is still alive... I would like to buy the instructions AFTER the update. Where and when will that be? Greetings, Uli

Any news?

Cant believe its been nearly 6 years since building this beauty.....still in perfect condition. No drooping etc. As good as the day it was built. My favourite model in my collection.

Hi everyone!

I've tried reaching out to AlloutBrick 3 or 4 times to check on updates for the manual.  I haven't heard back anything.  I purchased a completed Nebulon from a friend and I want to rebuild it myself, but I want to buy the manual.  I firmly believe it's the ethical thing to support the designer and buy the manual afresh.

Does anyone know if they are still in business?  Thanks!

There is an updated version of the Nebulon instructions available at the link below. Mortsev is given credit in the "Short Information" box.

[salaciouscrumbphd]

Thank you @karmajay!  I'm excited to hopefully hear back from @Cjd223

And Thank you @sandtrooper for posting, but I'm waiting for Cjd223's updated manual.  Thanks everyone!

So cool to see that this thread is still alive and folks are still building Mortesv’s Neb-B. I very much remember the joy and frustration of building this model 6 years ago. I’ve since moved from Star Wars modeling to 8-wide trains but still have my rebel fleet in storage from my BrickFair Virginia Display from 2017. Did Mortesv design any more ships after Neb-B, transport, and blockade runner? 

[salaciouscrumbphd]

Thought I'd try one more time.  I've emailed Alloutbrick on the website at least 4 times in as many months.  I've also tried here and I've tried on rebrickable.

I purchased the original manual for the Corvette a few years back and the rebrickable page says that the update will be sent out for free.  

I also have a Nebulon that I purchased from a friend that I'd like to buy a manual for, or at least get an update on when the update will be available.  I'm sadly really starting to think that there is no intention of responding to me.  If anyone has any final thoughts on how to hear back, I'd really appreciate it.  

I really love the models, but if the designer has no interest in selling manuals or corresponding I'll admit defeat and move onto a different project.  

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it!

Je viens d’acquérir l’ensemble des pièces ainsi que la notice de montage par un particulier, mais aprés quelques heures de montage, je m’apperçois qu’il faut souvent revenir en arrière, démonter et remonter et arrivé a la page 1027 du fichier pdf, j’ai abandonné tant ce montage est compliqué, quelqu’un a-t’il une mise à jour à me proposer

Translate: "I have just acquired all the parts as well as the assembly instructions from an individual, but after a few hours of assembly, I realize that it is often necessary to go back, disassemble and reassemble and arrived at page 1027 of the pdf file, I gave up as this assembly is complicated, does anyone have an update to offer me"

Disassemble and reassemble is a feature of this build!

The version of the instructions I have total 1493 pages

Page 1027 (1029 in mine) is instruction 165. Installing the 'U build section' in front of the engine bulk frame. I remember this being hard to install. The 2 side fins had to come off. Perhaps also some more parts removed. Then it could be slipped up and in.

I recommend reading through this entire thread for the problematic areas. Most issues have been discussed and solutions provided, gotta do a lil back reading.

Hey all. This MOC is near and dear to my heart and I can post good news about it. People probably haven't followed this model closely, but those who have more recently might have noticed that it has been abandoned. It was removed from Cjd223's website and rebrickable. I also had personally reached out to Cjd and Mortesv about this but haven't gotten a reply. So as far as I can see, there are no methods to acquire these original plans by legitimate means. Given this, I am finally comfortable with sharing my own FREE plans for this MOC. Please check it out here.

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-143147/Taladril/nebulon-b-medical-frigate/#details

How did this come about, you may ask. I had purchased the plans and went about buying all of the parts needed to build it. After going through the instructions I saw all of the multitude of problems with it. For me, building a model with the instructions is half of the fun, so I knew that for me to actually enjoy the model I would have to make plans from scratch. But then I got into it and started fixing stuff too. So I found all of the really delicate stuff and strengthened it up. There are now very few places that are one stud connections. I also rebuilt the stand so that it could be supported in only two places. To allow for long term display, I added literally as much reinforcement of the spar as I could to minimize any slumping and am confident that it can withstand many months of display without any permanent droop. 

Given the size of the model I split the instructions into more bite sized pieces. The result is the same model but with clear and easy steps to build with no need for backtrack or fixing. I build tested the whole thing and fixed errors I found along the way. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks very much for doing this. It might be a slightly less epic build experience for anyone using your instructions. They won't have to use some creative methods to get it assembled.

I still have flashback to that build!  It was my first MOC.  I think we all have war stories and scars from that build.  Maybe I will this again as a future project.  Especially given the new base, which i never liked about the original model.  Mine is still on the same shelf that I managed to position it when i first built it.  I dare not even look at it, in case it topples over!

I had the whole fleet on my rickety dining room table for a couple months and was able to move it around and to different locations multiple times and I was very confident in it not toppling over. All of the bases are secure enough for display even in higher traffic areas.

I'm providing a necessary update on this thread. Rebrickable appears to be more willing to let Lego knockoff companies benefit from selling this moc rather than host my free version. So here is a google drive link where you can get it.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XDILXimrxUNuTYr_HEPdOj7SiYmo7dFg?usp=sharing

One easy replacement for the hardest to find piece is replacing the light bluish gray 4854 with two 4871. You will encounter it in book 3 on step 193.

I don't check this site often so if there are problems message me at rebrickable.

I am not sure if that is the reason as I can see two versions on brickvault and brick-collective which have to be paid, maybe there was some complaint. I already bought one otherwise I still would have to decide which one to buy or use. And as you said yours is not optimized for cheap lego parts and I like all three versions - so thank you for your efforts

Pretty sure cjd received a cease and desist letter from star wars or lego. What's weird is the brick collective version was reeeeaalllyyy inspired by mortesv's version....so its weird how mortesvs is seemingly gone for good when his was the OG.

Hey everyone. I just finished this absolute beauty of a model after following this project for years. I am just thinking about adding a different stand and I tried to download the LDD File for Churcholos Stand but it appears the server, where Churcholo uploaded it to, isnt working anymore. Does anyone have the LDD File available and could send it to me or reupload it? I would really appreciate it.
