Cylo Posted August 25, 2019 Hello all, I am currently working on the Malevolence as seen in the clone wars, this is the first big build I am doing. Comments and criticism are welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retro Posted August 25, 2019 That looks like a fun project. Are you making it up from scratch, or taking inspiration from some other source? Will you try and build it in real bricks eventually? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will you try and build it in real bricks eventually? Yes it is! The curves of the ship are a challenge to build. Currently I have not found any other Malevolence MOCs within the same scale so this is a completely original build. If I ever want to build it with real bricks the dark blue pieces would be a problem since they are much rarer or even not available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cylo Posted October 6, 2019 Update: Added the bottom and adjusted the front bridge and gun positions. Also started the cityscape thing under the front bit. Now just trying to connect the ion cannons to the ship, although it's a bit complicated... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sucram Posted October 6, 2019 Cool, the Malevolence is a set I wanted years ago but couldn't afford. Plus it's small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brick-Wombat Posted April 12, 2020 Glad to see you're continuing this project! Despite being a massive untertaking, do you have any plans to build it IRL if you're happy with the digital version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is some of the dark blue parts don't exist so it could be a problem in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I haven't yet. Still need to work out how to build the other half of the ship :P In the end I'll try to make all the colours available though Heres an update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks :) Currently at 2500 parts but thats just the shell around the front, it's mostly hollow on the inside. Due to all the weird shapes of the ship I'm thinking there won't be much space left inside when its finished. Thinking of having a major rework to the ship. Not really happy with the curve at the front and thinking of using raskolnikov's solution for his mon calamari cruiser, although I'm not sure I would be able to accomplish such feat :/. Might rework the front inside cityscape as well. Here's a render of the front Edited May 13, 2020 by Reaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristof Posted May 13, 2020 I have to admit that your first several wip posts didn't get me excited one bit. It looked to me like one of these digital attempts taking on a massive build with size being the primary focus and any sort of quality lacking far behind And, frankly, looking up close it still looks somewhat hodge-podged together. But from the distance, it seems like everything blends in really well and the shapes work out nice. The overall shots already look pretty cool and it seems like if you carry on with the good proportions, it may actually turn into an impressive model!

Kristof Posted May 13, 2020 @jdubbs Well, I don't know if my comment reads all negative or what but it was not meant to be. I sure hope no hard feelings taken on @Reaper's side. I commented because I was impressed by the progress, which I did not really anticipate after seeing the first post a while back :) Perhaps it sounds a bit like some self-proclaimed guru have spoken? Idk... maybe I have a talent for making controversial comments, this wouldn't be the first time. Perhaps I need to learn how to just type down an unconditional 'awesome!' and move along :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
