Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser

[Cjd223]

Started building my Venator about a week ago. Ordered the elements about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago with a lot of substitutions for the 1 x 16 and 1 x 14 Technic beams.

Have really enjoyed the build so far.

You sir have incredible dedication. Must be relieving to finally build the Venator after such a long time!

This was my initial thought as well

Just saying I would build three more Venator. Sorry didn't mean to upset anyone.

[Kristof]

Oh, well I didn't get it first time - I thought you'd build three more of... MF or whatever :D So i went like 'what'?! Now with the explanation, it's perfectly fine (although still quite expandable) comment :D

Hello everyone,

Currently building a Venator and have read about the magnet holder replacements earlier in this thread - most noticeably the ones in this link: https://www.flickr.c...57652308655664/

For those that have used these brackets, how many were needed to hold the bottom (ventral) hull sections in place? Also are they needed for the top (dorsal) sections?

Thanks!

Hey Guys, 3900 pieces into my Venator. but like everyone else the magnet holders are a bit of a concern with the outrageous price tag. Has some one got instructions for fitting the magnet work around with the technic parts? Thanks in advance

[Anio]

Just bought 34 of them this morning.

[Millergy]

What did you pay for your magnet holders Anio?

[droid747]

How many of the rare magnet holders are needed for this venator?

18 of those rare magnet holders (ID: 30159)

The magnets I bought are not for the Venator only. But I spent almost 600€ on them (magnets + magnets holders).

You don't have to buy the tan magnet holders. You can buy the other colours (white, blue, dark gray) too since you will never see them. The other colours are a bit cheaper than the tan ones.

I would really love to know what big project you are working on that you need 24 of those super expensive magnet holders. Considering I spent as much as did for those building your SSD and the Venator I don't think my wife would want me ever build your new thing. Still finishing the SSD. lol.

I am just building a second Venator.

I am just building a second Venator.

do you know roughly how much this would be to BL this build?

[Anio]

A bit more than 1000€.

[Cjd223]

Anio, do you have any plans for MOCs coming up, I am going to likely do your two newest ones, but if you are planning something big, then I may have to only do one

[Anio]

No SW MOC in the pipe for the months to come....
