Tomcat RIO Posted August 17, 2011 Hi all,I'm usually a pirates and castle lego guy, but in the first instance of making a SW MOC, i built 1 of my favourites from the trilogy. Knowing I will never be able to afford or get the UCS 10221 past door security, I settled on a Mini MOC by bashing the normal star destroyer, sith infiltrator, and bits from a MF4504 and vader's Tie.

Mr Man Posted August 17, 2011 Some very nice techniques there Tomcat RIO, especialy in the engines. It's not very accurate but is definitely recognisable as the Super Star Destroyer. You may need to move the parts for the bridge closer together as they are a bit to wide at this scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted August 17, 2011 I think it looks fantastic. It almost looks like the top was just thrown together but after closer inspection it just looks good and in my eyes pretty accurate looking, a sort of greebling effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may need to move the parts for the bridge closer together as they are a bit to wide at this scale. yup, trying to mimic the 10221 and movie bridge. I am still looking through my heap of grey to find a jumper stud and a 1x3 light bluish grey plate as most of mine are the old light grey. Thanks for the feedback I always love to improve. I think it looks fantastic. It almost looks like the top was just thrown together but after closer inspection it just looks good and in my eyes pretty accurate looking, a sort of greebling effect. :) It was, sort of thrown together at first, but after 30mins of looping a scene in Episode VI. I edited and rearranged some areas, tidying up, and adding more 1x2 tiles to simulate the busy control section. I'd probably edit again when my small batch of dark bluish grey plates arrive from BL.

Brickdoctor Posted August 17, 2011 Not bad at all. I like how you attached some of the wedge plates at an angle to make them match up with the angles of the 3x12 plates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollander Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) This is actually pretty nice Tomcat RIO. The 4x8 wedge plates you angled inwards are a nice technique to design the shape of the Executor well. But I have to agree with Mr Man, you should move the parts of the bridge closer to make it more accurate. But I think you did a really good job here, well done!

Tomcat RIO Posted September 3, 2011 Here with an updated SSD mk2 , with changes to the bridge and front hull. ala my final version to display on shelf made the bridge smaller, with a clip plate and the original sheild domes mounted on a 1x2 jumper tile. This allows the bridge to be as small as possible( less than a 1x3plate which would have been the other alternative) the darkgrey section is removable here i show the studs attaching the top and bottom wings - that also allow a constant angle for the plates Thanks for looking and the comments!

Hollander Posted September 3, 2011 Nice bridge update, the distance between the two studs on top is even better than using a 1x3 plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted September 3, 2011 Nice work. The bridge area looks a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Man Posted September 3, 2011 Nice job. I looks better now. Good work with the bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Watto Posted September 3, 2011 Now I want that to match the new model that's shipping to my house! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat RIO Posted September 5, 2011 thanks guys, your intitial feedback has helped improved the model by alot. Also thanks for the feature on the blog frontpage 2 weeks back, I didnt know it until I checked it just now! My next SW project is with the Advent calendar. Trying to build the scene from Yavin where the red squadron x-wings lock s-foils in position . And also building the Deathstar trench scene in advent mini scale - so do keep a lookout in a couple of weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praiter Yed Posted September 5, 2011 A very nice Mini Super Star Destroyer Tomcat RIO and vastly improved with the new bridge section. You could try replicating 10221 further by removing the dark grey section and displaying the bounty hunter scene . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted September 5, 2011 You've really got some cool techniques in there. Version two is definitely better, though I'm not sure about the peg-leg Darth Vader... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wokajablocka Posted September 6, 2011 Yeah, I missed the fisrt post but you have made much improvments from the first build and taken the advice from members to make it better. This Star Wars crowd can be hard to please sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
