Hi guys, instruction will be available very soon. 
 

Nice. Is it still going to be released by BrickVault or someone else?

I am currently building a MOC KR Command Shuttle, it's amazing to see how big it is already just with the wings, I cannot imagine how huge Cavegod's version could be

An amazing MOC! Thank you @cavegod and @Brick Moon.

NB: I discovered a number of inventory errors; I mostly had spares, but the most inconvenient one was Black Train Rails 3228c (require total 12, not 8) which I've had to order extra from overseas (US to Australia); perhaps the instructions have been updated?

Enjoy the following photos.  I designed and built a suitable stand to support the body and allow the wings to 'spread out', with a custom sticker from eBay.  Let me know if the photos are not showing; they are embedded from FB.

Amazing job!  

I have just amassed the parts and divided them per section in preparation for the build.  Do you have a list of pieces that were not in the plans other than the rails?  I also love your stand and may just "steal" it for my build (if that's ok?). :P  

Also Brick Moon, did you have a lighting setup for this MOC?

Hi Darth, we don't have a led setup, sorry ...its more free style...so you can work with any led's you like.

Of course you can build a similar stand :classic: . I have a Studio file of the design if you use this programme (LDD no longer works on my Macbook).

This is the list of additional parts that I made a note of. Of course, it's possibly a miscounted my original collection of parts; however, I was very, very careful when counting, so it seems unlikely.

 

Black Brick 1x1 3005: need 1 extra

Black Plate 1x2 3023: need 4 extra

Black Plate 1x4 3710: need 2 extra

Black Plate 2x2 3022: need 2 extra

Black Plate 2x4 3020: need 1 extra

Black Plate Modified 1x2 with 1 Stud 15573: need 1 extra

Black Plate Modified 1x2 with Handle on End 60478: need 2 extra

Black Plate Modified 1x3 with 2 Studs 34103: need 1 extra

Black Slope Curved 2x1 11477: need 5 extra (not shown in instructions for 1 lower wing, but require these 5 extra to match the other side)

Black Technic Link Chain 3711: need 12 extra

Black Technic Link Tread 3873: need 20 extra

Black Technic Pin with Friction Ridges 2780: need 3 extra

Black Tile 1x8 4162: need 1 extra

Black Tile Modified 2x2 with Studs on Edge 33909: need 2 extra

Black Train Track Plain Rail Straights 3228c: need 4 extra

Black Wedge Plate 3x2 Left 43723: need 2 extra

 

Dark Bluish Gray Plate 1x10 4477: need 2 extra

Dark Bluish Gray Tile 1x4 2431: need 1 extra

 

Red Brick Modified 1x2x1 2/3 with Studs on 1 Side 22885: need 2 extra

Red Technic Axle 10 3737: I changed these to Axle 12 (longer) for better fitment (can use any colour)

 

The list should be accurate, but I may have missed something that I did not make a note of.  There were also some left-over pieces!  It will be interesting to hear if your final list is different.

:classic:

Wow thank you for the list!  When I saw your post I immediately when out and Bricklink'd some additional rails since they are hard to find. It was one of the few parts I got the amount on the parts list. I got extras of almost everything else. 

Although, I have found the instructions frustrating, the model is pretty incredible using some ingenious techniques for changing stud direction. (The use of multiple headlights in red was one example) I have come to believe that some of the odd parts and colors came from what was on hand when it was built and the instructions show that.  I have in a some areas simply chose the best technique used and made it symmetrical when possible.  There are some areas where I replaced multiple parts with one part to simplify and strengthen things.

I think I have extras of everything you listed, hopefully. Your stand is awesome.  I had started to duplicate it in Stud.io from the pics you posted to see if I could figure it out. If you would be willing to share your file that would be awesome! 

My hats off to Cavegod for an amazing model as well as Brick Moon and Henry Han for the hard work on the instructions.

Yes, I noticed a few areas in the instructions that could be improved, and made some minor changes.

Aside from the the train rails, the other parts that I lacked abundant extras were the Technic chain/tread pieces, 3711 and 3873, which needed a lot more to completely wrap around the 'wheels' for the engines. Like you, I otherwise had enough spares of other parts.

I will PM you about the Studio file. It's too large to attach here.

Thank you!!

I have been fiddling with the chain/treads to see which orientation I like better.  The treads can go on two different ways which impacts the number you need quite a bit.  I am trying to find a good shot of the movie prop as well to see which matches better as well.

Found a great render of the front.

I presume so; I paid Brick Moon (sebastian) directly. But indeed, email him first to ensure he is available, and able to process your order promptly.

However, you can also purchase through rebrickable if you prefer, but you pay a small premium for their website hosting.
