Kristof Posted November 12, 2017 I don't suggest giving up :) More like taking one step at the time. Noone starts learning math by tryting to compute complex integrals. You first learn to add, subtract, multiply... and the same applies on technic building. Sure, to some extent you can speed up the learning curve, especially if you have a good intuition and mindset towards mechanics but still there is a lot to learn. Get the pieces for sure. If you have the money, buy some technic sets. It's surprisingly different building experience and if you pick good sets with lots of functions, constructing them will teach you a lot. AT-TE sounds cool. There would be different challenges, more of a structural build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ellisss_2 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Woah, my build was featured as a picture for the upcoming TLG V-19 in MandRproductions channel, but I got no credit. :( I will definitely post some build updates soon my Venator is so nearly complete too!

Ellisss_2 Posted November 1, 2018 There will be an update on this build soon. However first, I would like an opinion on something. I am planning on scrapping the wing mechanism and using ratcheted joints (probably 44224 and 44225). It would allow me to release the model a lot sooner and the model would have a better visual appearance. The mechanism required to move the wings requires a lot of torque and the solution is not easy and ruins some aesthetics of the model. I'm not sure whether people would be bothered if it didn't have a wing function since it is a display model anyway. Please let me know what you think, Ellis.

I'm thinking you could do a version with the ratcheted joints and one with the proper wing mechanism, because that would be a look cooler! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hold0511 Posted November 2, 2018 I'd build it for display so to be honest I don't mind the ratcheted version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vded Posted November 2, 2018 As I would like build it for display I don't mind if the wings aren't moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vegard Posted November 4, 2018 Man this MOC looks cool! Anyway I agree with JarJarBonks,release the version with atcheted joints and then one with the proper wing mechanism. The first will be a apperticer and the th eone with proper wing mecanism will be la 5 star meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellisss_2 Posted November 4, 2018 @Vegard @JarJarBonks @Hold0511 @vded Thank you guys for your feedback and opinion, I think I will create both. You can expect an update within the next week. Kind regards, Ellis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
