[MOC] UCS Zeta-class cargo shuttle

[stormtroopercaptain]

Thinking about building this beast. I do have one question for Renegade Clone or anyone you have built/purchased the instructions  

how much structure is inside the orange cargo pod?

i have a project in mind that would involve making that either removable or at least modified/replaced with a different type of cargo container.

Edit:

looks like it would not be removable as there is quite a bit of structure down in there from some pictures I found elsewhere.

The orange pod is not removable.  It is part of the fuselage of the ship and is hollow on the inside.  Hope this helps.

Amazing MOC.  Love the details and size of this creation and would love to build it.

Do the building instructions and part list include the Scarif landing pad, or are they just for the Zeta?  Also do you have, or do you know if anyone has designed a stand to display this with wings open?

The instructions are just for the ship, not the landing pad.  I built a pad off of RenegadeClone's pictures but it's in storage during a move right now.  But I used a bunch of tan 6x6 and 8x8 plates and wedges, and LBG tiles in 6x6, 4x4, 3x3, 4x2, 4x1, 3x1, 2x2, 2x1, 1x1 to make the pad itself.  The other design features I modified from the instructions on the Lego site for the Scarif battle set.  Here is my base:

Hi, I'm trying to find the right link/page to purchase this instructions guide and I'm trying to reach out to the designer (Renegade Clone) on different platforms too. Could you please share any information that I might have missed? Your help is very much appreciated as I have bought over 75% of the required parts (I guess I was too excited I have forgotten about the manual/instructions!)

WTFett - awesome Scarif landing pad - thanks for the info and the inspiration  

How many bricks is it approximately?

I have no idea.  If you zoom in you should be able to figure out the length x width with the tan plates.  The rectangular layout shown above is basically enough to be the footprint of the shuttle.  The part to the side isn't necessary but I thought it looked better than just a big rectangle of tan.  As far a piece count, all the tan plates in the picture are pretty much shown, you can see the 8x8s and wedge plates to tally them up, and the grey tiles to make up the "tarmac" are countable too if you want to go that far.  The orange containers and trees are from the Battle on Scarif set (75171) and the antennas/beacons I modified based on that set as well.
