[MOC] [MOD] 6211 Imperial Star Destroyer

[TheGeneralMoe]

Hello Eurobricks!

This is my first post, so i figured the best way to start is to display my Imperial Star Destroyer. I based it off set 6211, basically making it more detailed, and building a second top panel to place on the bottom to get the movie accurate shape. I view its as a sort of UCS set for those who can't afford the actual UCS Star Destroyer. 

There is not interior features, due to the demanding structure of the ship.

I tried to get the engine to be mostly movie accurate:

Enjoy!

Cool!

I built 75055 a couple nights ago and really like it, but the flat bottom isn't ideal. I really like what you did for that.

Set 75055 is a nice set, very stable, though due to how the panels are joined, i assume a mod this this one would be quite difficult.

I am about to either buy a 75055 or 6211. Do you have a guide/parts list to do this? I really love it.

If it had an interior it would be 10/10

Hello!

This is a fantastic mod, the greebling and detailing is on point! I believe that the long dark gray strip on the tower could do with some greebling or detailing, as it doesn't fit in with the rest of the model.

Also, you should post some pictures of the frame, I am interested as to how you did the bottom hull. 

Kind regards, Ellis.

I don't have a part list, but i do have the building process that gives an overview of each stage.

Wow, that is very impressive - kind of like an affordable UCS model!

I too would be very interested to see the interior frame.  If you could post some build photos that would be awesome - I love a reverse-engineering challenge!

Thank you for showing the interior, this really is a mini UCS Star Destroyer; I'm pleased you didn't use magnets! Also I think the bridge is possibly too tall.

Thanks! Funny thing is, i did use magnets. I used train bumpers near the rear. A necessary evil, their clutch isn't that strong, but they hold the heavier and larger rear end in place. If you build something like this, i recommend an alternative, such as biconical ball joints or chain pieces on a level hook.

Any chanche you can build this in LDD?

Sorry, unfortunately i can't at the moment. I haven't used LDD, and when i built the model it involved a large amount of modification that i lost track of. The best i can do is suggest you look at the original instructions for 6211. As you can see from my (Very low quality) images i built a support "cross" in the larger segments to support the stand, and replicated the bottom panels by following the instructions for the top ones, but modding them for a hangar space. A lot of the inside is messy, but if you want more detailed pics of the construct, let me know!
