ecmo47 Posted November 19, 2016 Wow! Now that IS a fleet! No topping that for sure! I think I remember from reading the Star Wars paperback book in the 70's that there were 4 squadrons that attacked the Death Star in ANH: Red and Blue X-wing squadrons and Green and Gold Y-wing. Point being that maybe you could add a dash of color by representing other possible fighter squadrons. Still....A...M...A...Z...I...N...G!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flandy Posted November 19, 2016 It looks amazing, maybe you need a black background for the shelving with some LED or fibre optic star light now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have two colors of Y-wings gold and even more gold. But more colors could be fun ;) I have also tried to make subtle differences between the different between all figters, swapping colors of a few bricks on many of them :) On 11/19/2016 at 8:47 AM, Flandy said: It looks amazing, maybe you need a black background for the shelving with some LED or fibre optic star light now!

Azrielsc Posted January 16, 2017 Just completed 6 X-wings (all slightly different), 2 Y-Wings, 2 A-Wings, 1 Imperial Shuttle, 1 TIE Fighter, 1 B-Wing and half a Slave 1 before I ran out of the required bricks. Haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kappaknight Posted January 25, 2017 Amazing build! I'm also constructing a fleet, but I started by modding the midi Millennium Falcon, which I'm sure I'll regret once I start tackling some of the capital ships. Love all the details you have put into it though... Here's what I have so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just looked at the X-wing from the top view and the body is about as wide as the twin engines on the side. Maybe the problem is that the nose is not skinnier. Though, your comment did make me re-evaluate some of the connections, so I think I have some additional improvements to make. Thanks! As for the capital ships, of course they'll be to scale. What fun would it be if they're not? However, I did just do some calculations... GR-75 would be 79 studs long; definitely manageable. Phoenix Home/Base would be 248 studs long... would be interesting to see in this scale. Imperial Desotroyer 1408 studs long, or over 29 baseplates. (Maybe I should start a GoFundMe account for a LEGO Star Wars museum so this can come to fruition?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kappaknight Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) So thanks to the comment earlier in this thread, I gave my X-Wing a more critical eye, and ended up making him more accurate. (Still didn't fix the width of the nose though. ) http://imgur.com/gallery/XFcXz/ Do you have the in-progress pics for the GR-75? Would love to see how it sort of comes together.

Bearino Posted January 28, 2017 I really like the Millennium Falcon, is there any chance of more pics / an LDD file? Would like a mini version to go with my new Midi. Slave I would be appreciated too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave I would be appreciated too. The core of the Millennium Falcon is actually just set 7778-1. I did mod it quite a bit so it looks more film accurate on the top and bottom side. I may revise it all around at some other time since the a good portion of my other ships are SNOT built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, I actually meant mortesv's Falcon! But I saw your post on reddit and loved the midi so I've bought that too! I'm going to reverse-engineer your midi scale stuff and might make some, so cheers for the inspiration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the engines should be more "on top" of the wings - and perhaps a little bit larger if possible :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
