I introduce you to my first major LEGO MOC-77525 The Imperial Star Destroyer Intimidator! I created this over 15 months of designing in Stud.io, collecting parts, building, back to Stud.io for redesigns, collecting more parts, rince and repeat!! It was a major undertaking but I succeeded in making what I believe is a beautiful piece of LEGO art! Its 19,635 pieces, 59.5 inches long and weighs 43.7 lbs. I will let the rest speak for itself!

Yes..you heard that. INSTRUCTIONS!! 3313 glorious pages of them! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-23104/CharlesRAnderson/isd-intimidator-77525/#comments

This is an incredible coincidence!!! And it makes me so happy!!! Thanks phaelon for discovering this and letting me know about it! Simply amazing! Damn, now I may have to buy the new Venator and display them side by side!!

If you didn't see this month's issue of Popular Mechanics yet this bad boy got a 6 page spread in it!! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-23104/CharlesRAnderson/isd-intimidator-77525/#comments

Sounds great!!

That is not correct actually. In my parts list green is any color. All other colors are specific. Some because of aesthetics, others because that's the only real option or the only real financial option. On rebrickable the "blue" bricks are not actually blue. That's just the color Rebrickable uses for the image to indicate they are Any Color.

Hey everybody!! Just wanted to check in and see if anyone is having fun building the Intimidator yet? I know a lot of people have the instructions but I have only seen progress from one person on Facebook so far and I am SUPER curious how people are doing with it! I WANNA SEE PICTURES!!! ;)

I would go for the Intimidator!! HAHAHA!! But I may be a smidge biased... ;)

Both work, it's just a matter of personal preference as to whether you want to see the Laser Divot on the top half on your engines. They can be rotated so that part is not that visible.

I am curious why you wouldn't use the xml or the bsx? I do not have the list in any other format. Sorry.

Ahh yes good call! Just misunderstood your post! Carry on!

Its not a manual process. There are several ways to get the parts list into Bricklink. You can use the Upload feature adn copy and paste from Notepad as you suggested. Or you can open the .bsx file in Brickstock and use the Upload to Bricklink Wanted list feature which does a lot of the same stuff.

You will need 6 total to do the Monarch and Intimidator builds. If that's your plan. And you could use the top half that has the death star weapon on mine if need be as its so tight in there that you really wouldn't ever see that detail. Depending on how you orient them. So if you got 2 complete sets you actually have 4 engine already which is awesome!!

Did you download it by clicking on it and opening it in a browser? or did you right-click and do "save link as"? I just tested it and saving the link works fine from what I can tell. You can do this but as I said in the Description, I don't recommend you use the parts list from Rebrickable. When I uploaded it the list it created was incomplete, and it messed up a bunch of my colors which I could not fix properly. Highly recommend you use the xml or bsx that comes with the download. Yes that is correct. They are actually listed as [No color/Any color] if you look in the description. They wouldnt come in as green because those parts dont exist in green in the database. And so I switched them to no color. But see my last post about the parts list on rebrickable... This was one of the hardest parts for me to find also. Noone seems to have more than 1 or 2 of them at the most. I dont have any suggestions other than to just wait and keep looking or do as Cavegod suggested.

Thanks!! If you build all 3 of those PLEASE post pictures of them all standing side by side so we can compare! I really wanna see that! So others have purchased it and I have yet to hear an issue with the xml file. Could you explain what you are seeing exactly? Might wanna send an email to support@rebrickable.com and see if they can help. If the file is bad I am happy to upload another but if your the only one having issues then the assumption would have to be that is a local problem and we need to debug a different way.

Thanks! Yeah finding the smallest details I could reproduce in any shape was a huge part of the challenge for me. The face of the bridge was a lot of fun. That particular part I spent a lot of time trying to get it as accurate as possible.

"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen...hahahaHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha"

Here is the most of the reference I used. This is the Devastator, which is the model used in ANH for the opening crawl scene and other scenes. http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=11205 This is the one that has the turrets I used. I did most of my reference here or by watching ANH and Rogue One. This is the Avenger, it was the model used in Empire and is (so I have been told) based on the Devastator model that was used in ANH but remodeled to be slightly different. http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=59701

Yeah man thanks for the compliments!!! Your Tyrant was definitely an inspiration for me wanting to do this. I actually bought the Aggressor with every intention of building it. Got about half of the parts and was getting ready to start and it occured to me that it was only 37" long. For some reason I thought it was bigger at first. I decided then that I wanted a bigger model and your Tyrant wasn't available for sale so I set out to make my own. The rest as they say is history!! ;) Yes we have some amazing Star Destroyer Models out there to choose from. It would be amazing to see them all lined up together in a room so we could really do a side by side. But that's not likely to happen unless someone sets out to build them all by themselves! Thanks man, I really appreciate your kind words. If you ever decide to build the Intimidator hit me up if you have any questions. I love being involved! The turrets did get pretty close. The unfortunate part is they had to be slightly larger than they should be in order to get them to look right. Same with the Bridge. Someday maybe I will decide to redesign those to try to get them closer to scale. Probably not though...too many other projects!! ;) Yeah I would LOVE to see them all together in one place! That would blow my mind!!
