Much appreciated! There are numerous techniques involved to recreate the quintessence of the actual snowspeeder, while still noticeably being LEGO. There is also then the structural integrity that can be liken to actual sets released by LEGO -

Your welcome. But I apologize for any inconveniences the place-holding part caused. Glad your excited. If you can, I would love to see any photos of it finished. -
I don't know too much (actually very little) about X-Wings, but your designs are brilliantly representing certain aspects quite nicely. ModularMagic, as ScottishDave recommended, is a fantastic resource tool for referencing details. I indeed, use it when building my AT-AT walker, or also when I built my snowspeeder. Even as well, I place various Lego parts (particularly slopes and wedges) against those images on the screen to judge if they have best angle for the aspect. Then more so, I use rulers against the screen to attain accurate proportions as possible.

HAHAHAHA ! The MOC is really congested with SNOTing techniques that it could be mistaken for not even being Lego (from a distance that is)! Perhaps it is the definitive Lego T-47 current elements have to offer—from an exterior standpoint that is, as I didn't bother detailing the inside so much. -

Hi smiffyraf1 The front windscreen is listed on Bricklink as Windscreen 5 x 4 x 1 1/3 (18972). It is a new part introduced from Lego Speed Champions line in sets 75912-1 (Porsche 911 GT Finish Line) & 75910-1 (Porsche 918 Spyder). The one in LDD is just a place holder for that particularly new windscreen, since no updates has been issued for LDD to include the newest parts Lego has been manufacturing.

v0i0, I think that will be a perfect companion for such a magnificent beast. And if you haven't already, I reccomend searching around for topics about others' experiences with building this MOC. It will be worth the time, especially with the issues I hear about the structure and different versions of files. -

Thank you Steph 104th. The heat sink design came from Larry Lars, but something special I did with this feature was to not only make it grey, but old grey to give a slight representation of this section having been worn down by immense heat. -

Sounds like a good plan to me—I think it will be well worth the investment. Upon the piece count, well, every part does it job—nicely at that too. Though, I was surprised how much pieces came out of it—given the idea of something that is intended to be rather small (it is not that small by the way). -

Congratulations! I can sense the excitement—I love it! I know it will be very fun experience, because it was for me. But if you have any difficulties, questions, comments feel free to say. And I would love to see photos of your progress—you could post them here or right up a topic of your experience. Much appreciated, LiLmeFromDaFuture -

Hello again icarusbird, Briefly, I want to expound upon the design of the body of my snowspeeder. If you have read through the entire topic, though I would understand if you neglected to because it is quite lengthy, I have indeed designed the body of my snowspeeder since the beginning—well way before I came to implement Lars' nose and heat sink. I personally designed the body to especially accommodate the brick-designed wings, because the possibilities were very limited with bricks as opposed to designing the wings with plates. Now again, I have implemented Lars' nose and heat sink design and did not change much of that. Then in fact they are connected the same way: the nose with this attached to this, and the heat sink with these attached to those, but as similarities between the two entities go, that is practically as far as it gets, since they are not, by a slight step built the same way but except those two components. Logically, it is quite illogical to presume mine is completely parallel to his judging outwardly to what is similar, than inwardly to how each was individually designed by the builder—I independently of his design. You are welcome. I guess next time I complete a large project I should at least share a little about it for quick reference, so no one would be misinformed or have to dig through seven pages worth of information—apologies. Much appreciated, LiLmeFromDaFuture -

Hi, I am very familiar with Larry Lars' work, therefore would affirm that you are truly incorrect for assuming such. For future reference I will add this page to the topic, but if you have done your research here, you would have experienced that built mine completely from scratch, off-based of his, and over the course of three months. You stress that I have used "ALL" of his innovations, but what you do you actually mean by this is beyond my comprehension of what you wrote, as again, I entirely built mine from brick one, but clearly I forwent his innovative working winch, his innovative and sophisticated design for the upper air brakes, or his innovative interior. However, I made mention that I have only implemented Lars' innovative design for the nose and heat sink, and the rest of my model is genuinely original. As my model is concerned, the cockpit, though less sophisticated compared to his, is not as clunky, appropriately longer, and incorporates the new speed champions windscreen and the sunroof that is more accurate in shape. Besides, the studless make of the wings, which transitions smoothly to the body unlike what I have previously seen, the aft repulsor unit housings feature the grille pattern, which never before have I seen represented accurately. Likewise with the aft repulsor unit housing and the final stage energizers, the cheese slopes that border them are fashioned in a linear pattern (a continuous slope), which cannot be achieved when fashioning plates into wings, nor have I seen ever done for snowspeeders before. You profess that I used the "general shape and frame" of Lars, but that is the general aspect of the snowspeeder—a triangular shape. When you say frame, I believe you are referring to the body. In little ways ours are similar, as they function in the same way. But I feel you believe I discredit him by making a frame as well. How else would the other members (wings, nose, and heatsink) be connected if there is nothing to join them altogether at the central portion—is this not as well true for our head and limbs? Then mistakenly, you say I added to his wings by SNOTing them. This is clearly incorrect, as there are clearly two distinct systems at work—mine being bricks and his being plates. Again with originality, I have built my wings from the ground up without taking inspiration from his design. He made his wings as smooth as he could, but the limitations of using plates is more than obvious—though Mike Psiaki's did alright with plates. I can fathom how easily it is to presume this as a rehash of Lars' because of how recognizable the nose and heatsink are, but with what you felt compelled to share that I have failed to give enough credit to Lars, you have actually discredited me and the sums of my innovations by claiming they derive solely from his. Thank you complementing the little you did, but I am not, even at the slightest, writing off the whole of my original work that I invested three months in as someone's else or a MOD of theirs. Thank you icarsubird for understanding. I apologize for the misconception which could have been avoided If I explained lightly on the design process in the main topic Much appreciated, LiLmeFromDaFuture -
[Model MOC] T-47 Airspeeder (Snowspeeder)
LiLmeFromDaFuture replied to LiLmeFromDaFuture's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Much appreciated BEAVeR. Thank you so much for highlighting the details of the aircraft. I myself, could not come to write something as extensively detailed to express my MOC on this topic, (it is quite a lengthy process for me—I would not really know where to start because there is so much), so thank you again, for reviewing and mentioning the numerous techniques implemented and then blogging about it. With those slopes in the back of the wings, I tried to represent the gap that is present on the model I modeled this MOC after. Though compared to the model, it is not as wide as should be. So perhaps, it is not worth representing, and I will probably revisit it and patch it up. As for the detailed interior. I did forwent this unlike others, though I congratulate them for their accomplishments. However, I sacrificed this feature for structural integrity, ease of seating the minifigures inside/taking them out, and (perhaps if it would interfere) the alignment of the wings to the body. Though all could be resolved with stickers! Joking ! However then, I am not really one for interior details, as I dedicate myself primarily to represent the quintessence of the exterior, as well the proper angles. For an example, this process as for my AT-AT, involves bricks to express the smoothness of the body and a multitude of details, a robust infrastructure to support the weight of those thousands of bricks, and a technique to allow rotation in the joints (especially the knees) that will as well support the head, body, and the infrastructure supporting both. In conclusion, this means that the walker will not feature interior in any manner—it is really heavy as it is now, and I only have one side of the body attached. I have been building the AT-AT before the snowspeeder, but paused its construction to design the snowspeeder. Afterwards, I was quite scattered after I finished the snowspeeder and built it, as I then wanted to design a minifigure scale AT-ST or in UCS scale, and a LAAT as well. But perhaps, those will take more than a week of work, as like the snowspeeder. Now I am going back to the AT-AT. I don't know when I will have it finish, but as for now I will continue building it 'under the radar' (so to speak), as it is extensively phenomenal, greatly extraordinary than what some have seen with the snowspeeder, and truly unprecedented—it will be a genuine surprise! Again, much appreciated, LiLmeFromDaFuture -

Are suggesting an AT-ST as an Stand alone set, because one was featured in the 8038 The Battle of Endor set—nevertheless, witnessing a new one would be nice. -

Interesting cockpit alterations. I see what you did with the roof. A version prior to what is now available was like this, but upon real life application, the connection proved too weak, therefore I changed it to what it is now. However, my actual model still portrays this former design. The harpoon gun is nice. I had design similar to it, but I scratched it, since the 3L bar does not com in dark gray—though this is your MOD. -

Greetings La Chupacabra, The glass of the sunroof for my model is the version that features no ridges—this is a particularly rare part and only comes in two colors: transparent clear or transparent light blue. If anyone else considers to keep this design in their rebuild simply because it's simple yet elegant, I consider they acquire the version with the ridges 2348b, which is more readily available in trans-clear than its counterpart. Though this part is exclusively available in trans-clear, dark blue, or light blue, as judge by the photos of my model, the sunroof glass in trans-clear blends rather nicely with the other trans-black elements—especially with the dark interior. Using this part is your best option, as there is no other rectangular elements alike that can be used in the same fashion, as according to the studio models. Though, If you were attempting to alternate from my design I would like to see what you are considering doing. -
Thanks. If you haven't already visited, I made another topic of it here with new photos and the LDD file—if you are interested. The story about that light gray ingot bar is beyond me. Being a prototype color is all supposition as far as I am concerned for. Though, perhaps, one could get in touch with some department of Lego that is involved with the production of the various elements. However, these pieces are quite useful indeed. Currently, I have them featured on each toe of my AT-AT walker (which I have been building for some time now), and they are present as various details on my AT-ST I have been designing since I completed the snowspeeder. As with the injection mark and the printed Lego logo, the only color I have seen with both logos present is in chrome gold.

LiLmeFromDaFuture replied to LiLmeFromDaFuture's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Indeed, as I based those suggestions on your current version of Lars'. I am assuming you are only implementing the wings of my model to your own, so I suppose you won't have much issues including a working winch, an angled heat sink, or your own detailed bottom accurate to the studio model (improved upon your current non-SNOT design). As of now, if you choose to make your improved snowspeeder in light gray still, acquiring those 4 x 1 slope bricks in this color might present a problem, as only one set consist it in only one quantity.
