  1. Hahaha :laugh: Brick_Pig, funny but I could see that happening in the new clone wars TV series (And I like it).

    I love yours Praiter Yed, The interactions between Boba, and Vader in Empire look so much funnier, if you consider him saying this on the bridge of the Executor, with IG-88 and the others giggling in the background.


  2. Arrg I see 12 studs fail :laugh:.

    No Its not DobbyClone its great, however the sloping should extend from the end of the wings to the end of the cockpit, you have them stopping at the start of the cockpit. Great job though.

    (Needs More Chrome :laugh:).

    Edit:I think the sloping needs to be a bit wider though. (Much better than TLG's 4 attempts, you'd think that after 4 they might have had it.)


  3. The Naboo Starfighter has not appeared in either Battle Front games.

    Ah no sorry they are not in the actual games, but I was playing a MOD map of Naboo Theed Hanger, which had lots of N-1's, the actual N-1's where taken from the game source files, and where originally going to be in the game, the models where made but cut from the game at the last minute to save space. (you can see them in some of the old trailers)


  4. Pretty sure not all the pieces in the new one come in chrome. It would be easier to mod the UCS one to fit minifigs.

    Blast I was hoping that a minimal amount of mix and matching between the 4 different N-1's would produce the almost perfect version, Ah well hiho hiho to MOC one from scratch I go.


  5. Not to say that chrome wouldn't look magnificent on this model*, but yes, it's probably too much to ask for. The past two other System N-1s were grey anyways, so it's not like this is a step back.

    *yes, fallenangel, I know that set is a poor excuse for UCS (and I think so, too, even though I own it), but the chrome is so...shiny.

    That image is from Starship Modeller.

    Well I meant anywhere that wasn't Battlefront II :laugh:.

    Maybe if when the new N-1 comes out if someone could mod it with the chrome parts?

    On another note the chrome parts would probably raise the price up too much, but pearl grey would be cheaper, but still look great, still the back of the ship is all boxy from the astro socket.

    Oh BTW that UCS N-1 is great, but not realy good enough to be a UCS, more like a hughly scaled midi :laugh:, great shiny bits though.


  6. Not really. If you look at this picture of the full-scale model from Menace, the yellow is definitely not that shiny of a finish especially compared to the chrome. And the chrome should be shinier than the yellow, so if they're both pearl/metallic colors, it won't look right.

    You are correct :blush:. All my current experiences of the N-1 are from playing battlefront II, where it looks very shiny, I honestly didn't think to look on the SW wiki for an image. But my main point is that for that price they could have dropped the poodikaand chromed pearled the few grey bricks.


  7. The yellow is supposed to be yellow on the 'real' ship.

    I know but I thought that chrome gold was closer to the shiny yellow on the ship than normal yellow, and I don't think they is a pearl yellow is they?

    (BTW Brickdoctor that was a quick reply, I had only just refreshed the page :laugh:).


  8. It looks as though the cart has 2 flick fires for it own use and two it could be carrying for the N-1, stupid TLG. I mean why, 10 year olds might find them great, but they could also stick them up their noses. At such a high price it is only really going to be for actual collectors, and not kids (no silly pupils) so it could do with a bit more accuracy.

    How amazing would it be if the grey pieces where replaced with pearl silver, and the yellow with chrome gold? It would be worth its price then, but not with flick fires.


  9. I voted for Brickthing's banner, its a perfect colour, not too bright or distracting, and the little TIE and Falcon in the background.

    (I was going to vote for Def's Banner 2 because of the brilliant Darth Maul *oh2* but in the end my vote went to Brickthing.)


  10. I like it M<0><0<DSWIM, Especialy the legs lovly greabling, and on the arms. It realy looks like it could transform, and MrLestrange is right, it does resemble the toy Vader transformer. (Edit: I've just read you based this on it :blush:).


  11. Now that's a strange combination. Why are they re-selling the Freeco Speeder?

    Maybe nobody bought the first lot, so they repackaging it with the ever popular battlepacks. This is another super pack I wont be getting., now maybe if it had the battle for geonosis or Mace's starfighter, it would be better, and people might actually buy it, but with the stupid Freeco nar.


  12. The Yoda one is pretty good Oky. I had an idea a while back to do that, but I guess I forgot.

    This will be off-topic, but a while ago where I live, they did a radio contest and if you won they said you would receive a brand new Toyota, and when this man won, he went to pick it up and they just gave him a toy Yoda. He sued them.

    I would rather have the toy Yoda.

    Great new selection of comics everyone, keep up the great work.


  13. The thing is, that as a MOD of the set you can only go so far in improving it, I've got a MOD of TLG Separatist Shuttle that I will post soon. But the sets are usually so wrong only a MOC will fix them, Jedd the Jedi probable cant go much further, without making it a MOC, and the stupid TIE Fighter cockpit piece is a integral part of the ship. On my shuttle, the huge cockpit that was bigger than the space at the back was something I would have liked to get rid of but I didn't.

    I would look a lot better without it though. :classic::thumbup:.


  14. Since the only other OT SD seen in the movies is the Tector-class, which only gets a couple seconds of screen time in Jedi and you never see the whole thing.

    Isn't the Tector-class an imperial II with no hanger and plating around the reactor bulb?

    I'm sure I heard somewhere that the Mandater was going to be in CW as a Republic countermeasure to any more Subjugator classes.

    As for the TIE Crawler, they have already made one, but making a TIE Mauler to go with it, would be great. Its a shame EU vehicle don't sell well (CW is not EU :laugh:) I like them, but they can be a bit too over priced.


  15. I like it. Maybe you could do a factory version, in all grey, and white.

    Are you using the stock model, or making some mods, because that ugly turret kinda ruins the whole ship (which isn't to say that your isn't nice).

    Anyway I look forward to seeing the whole wing.


  16. I don't think the Subjugator deserves a place there. Or the Mandator. The Victory isn't a well known Republic ship, and the Imperator is the same as the Imperial-I.

    Separatists: Providence, Munificent, Recusant

    Republic: Venator, Acclamator

    Rebellion: Home One*, Liberty*, Nebulon-B

    Empire: Imperial-II, Executor, Immobilizer 418

    *Primary variants of the MC80 design, not ship classes.

    I was trying to get 1 dreadnought, 2 cruisers and one frigate per faction

    I thought the imperitor was the Imperial II, not 1, and CW's fans would want a Subjugator, and the Nebulon-B, I like the idea however I didn't include it as it is an imperial not a rebel ship, and I like the all Mon Cal ship idea.

    I agree about the Mandator and the Victory not been very well known, but they are better known than the Immobilizer.


  17. Very few people would know what Hardcell- and Diamond-, class ships are.

    I do :laugh:

    I would love for TLG to do the Providence, Subjugater, Recusant, and Munificent-classes sets, especially if they did them in midi with others.

    Separatist: Subjugater, Providence, Recusant, and Munificent

    Republic: Mandater, Venator, Victory, and Acclamator

    Rebel: Home one, Viscount, Liberty, and a Mon Calamari frigate

    Empire: Executor, Imperial, Imperator, Ardent


  18. That droideka is horrid! I'll stick with my '07 versions!

    So are all of them, stick with a MOC instead, or even a board game figure. Hell even a drawing of one would be better than TLG's renditions of the Destroyer Droid. The original Gasgano was as good looking as a well I don't know what, but TLC improved the design afterwords. They might even have to mold some new parts but when has that ever stopped TLC?


  19. As I put in the other topic, but probably more relevant here.

    How about two commando BP's-

    Clone: Delta Squad (All 4 with correct paint jobs), DC-17m Rifles x2, DC-17m Heavy Weapon, and DC-17m Sniper rifle. A piece of wall to snipe from, and a mini turret. (Or 4 generic CC's).

    Droid: 4x BX Droid commandos, vibrosword x1, Sniper Rifle x1, E-5 x2 and hand-held energy shields x2, and two STAP's
