[MOC] Rey's Speeder UCS (with INTERIOR)

[dmarkng]

1st time posting here =)

1st attempt at a MOC vehicle too, different feel for me vs. buildings.

 

Added: Updated pics =)
3 years after the 1st iteration, its gone through multiple changes. This is my 12th or 13th change to the model. Its almost a whole new MOC.
I've redone the entire frame to support an interior 'engine work'.
Now sits at ~1500+ bricks
As with all my stuff, I do my best to exclude any rare bricks. No modded bricks or painted bricks, all parts currently exist =)
I've put in more than 4 weeks of time to make a manual, and am ALMOST there =p will update here.

More on my IG

Really wonderful job here. Rey's speeder is definitely an under-moc'd "thing", at least comparatively. This is very cool though. Any chance you have more pictures?

[vs_ppl]

need more images! 

[dmarkng]

 

I took it down from my shelf for awhile to change the sticker plague onto plates instead of bricks and my dog hit the table it was on.. so now I have to fix it back =s.... and its midnight where I am.

 

I'll try and get more pictures up tomorrow on a better camera.

Few photos, but it looks nice and highly detailed! Good job here!

[brickmasterben11]

Nicely done!  The attention to detail is great!

Wow, for a 1st attempt at a vehicle you certainly did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great and can't wait to see more photos of it. The UCS plaque is a nice touch too!

Yeah, how did you do that? Could we take a closer look?

Hey,

Sorry for the slow response.

Had a busy weekend, and I decided to change the base plate and strengthen it so the build doesnt topple over.

I'll put up some pics of the underside, back, top view.

I grabbed the set and flipped it to have the top  view, also to show it is strong enough to be moved around and shook and still be held in 1 piece.

Cheers

Thanks for posting more pictures! I'm very impressed. Wish I was creative enough to do something like this.

[dmarkng]

Is there a limit on the pictures I post till I hit a certain number of post count?

Changed the base plate.

Does any one have a good source for the sticker info?

Not sure if the info I used is as accurate or detailed as it could be.

 

[VaderFan2187]

Really great! It's quite close to the Lego Ideas' UCS Rey Speeder in terms of accuracy 

And built by a member of Eurobricks himself! 

[dmarkng]

Cheers mate! It's still sitting on my shelf =)

[Evilkirk]

What a beauty! Nice build and very realistic :)

[dmarkng]

I've not posted in a long while, but I wanted to show the latest changes to my Rey Speeder. Its now probably my 8th-9th iteration of it.

I've managed to squeeze in an interior.

Thanks but they dont take licensed submissions any more =p.

[Dragunov2]

Then they better come with some official builds.

Cause most of the time the community brings much more amazing models.

And even official models can be better with some changes made...

Well TLG works within some rules of building which the rest of us dont =p

[Dragunov2]

Indeed, but sometimes I just replace some bricks or come with another Technic Base and it fits much more the real models and without breaking rules or altering the piece count

138km/h ? Where did you get that from ?
