AfolFree Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Update : Instructions are up on Rebrickable : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-32551 For my very first "big" MOC, I decided to go for a ship that we don't see that much : the correllian gunship, aka the DP-20 Frigate. It is a canon ship, but has very little to no canon visuals (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/DP20_Frigate) so I went for the features and visuals I liked most and tried to translate the formidable look of this gunship in Lego (yes 12 turbolaser turrets can look scary, even though an ISD wouldn't care). I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures, no real space for decent pictures at home at the moment. Final version Original pictures As it was my first MOC, pretty much everything felt a bit challenging, but the worst part was without a doubt the cone head of the ship. I'm pretty happy with the way I managed to close the gaps in that area Close up on the rear section : Final piece count : 1361 Edited December 11, 2019 by AfolFree Forgot pieces count :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNerdyOne_ Posted March 17, 2019 Looks fantastic, especially for your first big MOC! The cone is definitely a hard thing to replicate, but I think you did a great job! Really looking forward to your future MOCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to get a real workspace if I am to build anything interesting, but I sure hope I will get the opportunity On 3/18/2019 at 6:33 AM, Reaper said: Looks great! The cone shape is built nicely!

Also, I forgot to mention but by my calculations this MOC is 1:250 scale, I created it with mortesv' Nebulon B in mind and it should scale nicely with it.

Yes I am working on instructions, but there are a few things I wanted to improve before releasing it. The most important one was the cone head/cockpit : it is quite hard to assemble and is not even possible according to LDD/Stud.io in its current version. With real bricks It's actually doable (hence the photos), but I still felt like it could be done in a better way. At the moment I have 3 possible versions : v1 is a slight variation of the one I initially showed in my pictures, made to reduce the (small) stress some pieces were under v2 is a full rebuild, works in Stud.io, still needs to be tested with real bricks. It is overall smoother, the base is thinner and it is 1 stud longer v3 is similar to v2 but with a different "tiling" Here are some side-by-side renders, which one do you think works best ?

Ellisss_2 Posted October 27, 2019 Nice build, the new front is much better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cjd223 Posted October 27, 2019 Your first MOC?! This looks very sleek and smooth as a design and I think the nose came out beautifully. Definitely gives a ship I am unfamiliar with a great look. Nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chromide Posted October 27, 2019 Looks amazing, great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cygma Posted October 28, 2019 Looks amazing, and fantastic for a first MOC. Definitely like the v3 version of the cockpit the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel Commander Posted October 29, 2019 I like the v3 version the most. It has this elegant look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AfolFree Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Thank you everyone for the kind words ! My Bricklink orders came in, and I'm happy to report that cockpit/bridge v3 actually works with real bricks. I was really worried because the gaps looked scaringly narrow in Studio, but aside from the rail plates in front that I can afford to remove (the gap there is nowhere near as wide as I feared, the plates just don't fit), and the very front rounded plate connecting a bit loosely, the whole thing was fairly easy to put together. Here is a quick photo : I now have to refactor the Spine a bit to attach this new cockpit, and that should be the final version of the MOC. Then I will get going on the instructions Edited November 6, 2019 by AfolFree Resizing picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
