RoryoCox Posted July 17, 2010 Nice design. I like the use of the slopes of the tail and the sand green used. This is much better than lego's new version. It looks so sleek and stylish. Thanks for sharing this. Great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavegod Posted July 17, 2010 Very nice, but it really needs the underside having more detail, if you got rid of the dark bluey bricks would it compromise the structure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anio Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) if you got rid of the dark bluey bricks would it compromise the structure? No. But IMO, it looks quite good so, doesn't it ? It is smooth and there are also greebs. I don't see what I could change. Edited July 17, 2010 by Anio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anio Posted July 17, 2010 if you could achieve this? No offense to Amun-Ra ( ), but IMO, something like that don't look so good : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2009515 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted July 17, 2010 So now we have to decide which is better, Junsier's or Anio's? Nice job, I like yours better for the touches of dark bley and the mass of greebles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted July 17, 2010 Awesome! The SNOT back and the greebles are amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunnyx Posted July 18, 2010 Great work! i especially love the SNOT base and the greebles you added, lookes a lot like the "real" one and much better than TLG one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobrux Posted July 18, 2010 Most impressive, especially the bottom. Very nice SNOT! The SNOT part looks a bit fragile, though. Any problem with falling pieces? Once again, great job!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anio Posted July 18, 2010 The SNOT part looks a bit fragile, though. Any problem with falling pieces? No. It is trong. It is attached with many studs (brick 1x4 and brick 1x1 with stud(s) on side). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted July 18, 2010 Awesome work Anio That sticker should go into production Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siegfried Posted July 18, 2010 Very nice! I love how you did the cockpit; when I was modding my 6209 I used universal joints to get a better cockpit rotation arc... ...and interestingly I thought I was the only person who used that method! (I never finished my MOC as I got obsessed with details like the holding cells and the ion cannon...) If I try again I might just borrow a lot from yours! There's only one thing I don't like; why the red axle in the universal joints? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anio Posted July 18, 2010 There's only one thing I don't like; why the red axle in the universal joints? To respect TLG's colors scheme (purist powaaaa : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44163&view=findpost&p=775279) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siegfried Posted July 18, 2010 To respect TLG's colors scheme (purist powaaaa : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44163&view=findpost&p=775279) But the black 2 axle is a current part! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted July 18, 2010 AWESOME 'Anio' really AWESOME ! Excellent SNOT job here, lots of detail and I agree......better looking than the one comming out. Great design work there 'Anio' and I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickfoot Posted July 18, 2010 Great MOC. I really like the greebles on the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted July 19, 2010 This is great! The new Slave I is far to expensive and I already have the 2006 version, so I won't be buying it. However, if TLC released a version like this, I wouldn't even consider not buying it. I'm looking forward to seeing it with the new figures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel Posted July 19, 2010 Looks a little cleaner than the real thing... You might want to check some angles here and there. Still, the sheer size and detail in this is amazing. I'd like to know, though - why is it that the 'fins' on the side of the ship are grey, as opposed to yellow or tan? No need for new minifigures - the classic LEGO Boba Fett works fine.

ZO6 Posted July 19, 2010 Looks great, very nicely done Anio. Votre création est très bonne, Anio. The SNOT work that you've done at the rear, combined with all of the greebles is a vast improvement over the official versions. The authentic wing function is a nice touch as well. Everything looks really good, in fact the ship looks like it just came off the production line. It's not as beaten up looking as the one from the movie, but other than that it is pretty spot on. Thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anio Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Thank you for your comments ! @ fallenangel327 : Sorry, for the angles, I can't do better. Fot the color of the wings, I will see what I can do. :) Edited July 19, 2010 by Anio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smack Posted July 19, 2010 Gotta say this is one of the better Slave 1's I have seen. You can see all the work you put in with the techniques used in the build (snot & rotating cockpit). I don't know if it has been asked yet or if it is a stupid question (especially it being UCS) but is this actual scale with the Boba minifig? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavegod Posted July 19, 2010 i have to agree it is the best ucs slave1 i have seen it's just the underneath area is not correct in my opinion but i am at a loss as to how to correct it at present, the only idea i have at the mo is a rim of plates instead of the brown slopes, that would give you the upturned dish and be thin enough to greebly to hell around the engines.

Anio Posted July 19, 2010 @ Cavego & Smack : thak you very much. That was what I was aiming at. @ Smack : yes, the scale is quite correct compared to the Minifig Boba. :) Otherwise, I never sell my work (it's a matter of principle). But IMO, it is quite easy to reproduce it with the photos I did, or even the photo I will do. The system with U-joint is smart, maybe, but is not very complicated. The only thing I want, as always, it the credit (it's a matter of respect). @ Cavegod : yeah, the brown slope are not enough angled. But with the parts that TLG produced till today, I thing it is the best I can do. I definitely refuse to make it with plate or anything else. That would be too ugly. One more thing : yes, I thing I will do the wings tan. That will be more realistic. fallenangel327, thank you for the idea. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavegod Posted July 19, 2010 here i go again lol could you not make the green parts larger and more rounded? i dont think the 8x3 curved slope are correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
