hachiroku Posted June 27, 2011 Hello, I love the MIDI escale (i have the Falcon and the Destroyer) and I´m building a Super Star Destroyer. I only made the top sides, and I have no idea about join them. Photos here: As ir should be, more or less: I think that technic would be a good way, but i have nothing in mind. Goodbye and thank you so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeroeza Posted June 27, 2011 So far, so good although you may want to lengthen it a little to really get the long, needle/dagger like look of the fuselage! Try this MOC for inspiration! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, I made longer the fuselage but I still dont know how to join it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollander Posted June 27, 2011 I'd recommend to design a frame first now, and yes, you should make this of technic because it's way stronger than a frame made out of regular bricks. Joining the plates is not the easiest part of a ship like this, but with a couple of hinges, you will come far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick Smiley Productions Posted June 27, 2011 It looks good but I agree with comments above regarding that it needs to be longer and a bit more in proportion with the inside greebles space and the outside part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parrothead Rasmus Posted June 27, 2011 Looking great so far! Wish I could help, but these building methods aren't easy to me unless there's and instruction booklet infront of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted June 27, 2011 One of the best way I've learned building techniques is by studying official sets. Deconstruct your Star Destroyer and study how Lego designed the frame so it was the right shape. Then apply that frame technique (modified and longer, of course) to this build. Hope that helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted June 27, 2011 Nice start. In regards to the length, I agree that the proportions are going to be off with this design; the ship will be too fat. That problem primarily stems from the fact that you've chosen to use wedge plates that are multiples of the 2x3 wedge plate, rather than the 3x12 wedge plate. The end result is that you have the wrong angle for your hull plating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admonisher Posted June 29, 2011 Try this MOC for inspiration! I am so jealous of that MOC, it's not even funny! With the exception of the engines, it's PERFECT. Sadly, I completely lack the skills needed to reverse engineer it ... but if I ever had the instructions/parts list, I'd be all over it -- it's exactly the right size for my living space, unlike the four-foot-plus beast coming this Fall...
