Acclamator Class StarDestroyer WIP

[jifel]

Quite impresive! Do you intend on having the roof flip open like the $100 SD or Just lift off the entire thing?

@Skipper24: Yeah the red circle with stripes is what the boys want.

@Millacol88: No progress really except for added ribs from last pic. We moved it down to the "Lego Room" in our double garage now thats its getting a little warmer. I have a rough sketch done up.

@jifel: I'll have a section in back that opens up, like in Episode II, for troops to deploy from, and I believe we're going to make the centre section along the spine of the ship slide open like the Venator Class, for the 8 V-wings fighters we have.

Great, keep us posted. I notice your from Canada, it's getting warmer where I am too. Although not so on the west coast.

If I understood you correctly, and you were asking to see what it will look like, here's a pic.

[Aaron Morse]

Not much progress but we've relocated to the garage now

note my son Riley and our Saturn Ion for scale

[ADHO15]

It's looking sturdy and HUGE! I can't wait until it's finished (I know it'll be a long time off)

You have lots of clones to put onboard, I see, and the engines you've made look good too.

Keep it up.

[KimT]

Wow that thing is huuge

Just look at the amount of stormies

"Look at the size of that thing!"

Very nice, may I assume the 2 cylinders to the right are to be engines.

[Natman8000]

Whoosh, that looks awesome! I can't wait for some more!

[Millacol88]

Looking good!

"Look at the size of that thing!"

Thats what she said.

[Aaron Morse]

jifel

They're the two sub engines just above and offset from the main engines.

[CommanderCody77]

If those two engines are sub engines, then I can't imagine how big the main engines are

Also when are you going to post your next update pictures?

Thats what she said.

HEY! I'm supposed to say that! Guess I was too late.

This looks fantastic, it looks like you have a nice sturdy base, I can't wait to see you start to build the exterior.

Dang! That thing is about half the size as your car! VERY impressive!

[Future74]

That's gonna take a LOT of bricks before it's finished and a LOT of time as well.

Guess we wont be seeing you around for a while and if we do we'll be bothering you about this project and why it isnt finished yet

[prateek]

Dang! That thing is about half the size as your car!

That's what SHE said It is pretty big though, im guessing around 10000-25000 pieces

[jifel]

Are you going to be using phase 1 or 2 clones, or stormtroopers? Or maybe a combination?

jifel

[CloneMe]

Oh my god. That thing is massive. I cant wait for the final pics but that will be some time.

[Aaron Morse]

jifel

Probably going to be a combination of Phase One and Two Clones.

More pics. Not much progress but one sub engine and one Main engine have been started. Construction on the V-Wings is proceeding as well.

[CommanderCody77]

Wow! The main engine looks awesome and cool at the same time!

Will you put anymore fighters than the V-Wings?

Not sure, we have a few Stormtrooper Drop Ships, and Jedi Fighters for Air Support. We'll also have a fair number of Clone Walkers and we could probably fit in a Scout Walker or two, but even with the room inside we won't be able to fit a Republic Dropship, AT-AT or a ARC-170 into it ;-(

of it looks like it it will be either 12 or 14 V-Wings total.

[Millacol88]

Good progress, but it's starting to sink in how mammoth of a project this really is. If you manage to pull it off with an interior that can house 14 v-wings and other vehicles I would be quite impressed.

Now go work on it some more.

[jifel]

Amazing, especially the V-wings, but is the one in the far front going to be the standar, or will they all be the Lego sets? And I would personally sacrifice a few V-wings for a custom Dropship similar to the Imperial dropship BP, but a little longer and enclosed. Another thing is perhaps to have a "crane" with an end attachment that is like the new LAAT/c. You can then make a frame with a proper attachment for clone walkers. I did something like this that should be full compatible with the Republic dropship and carries an artillery piece made from a clone BP.
