seeing the picture... it seems the creator used the "Windscreen 6 x 4 x 2 1/3 Bubble Canopy with Handle" (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=87752#T=C) and has cut off an half part to got an half bubble you think my intuition is right? if not... i dont understand what part theese windows are

hi, the lego ideas page is erased... i have one question: what part you used for the "windows"?

Hi, I made this moc because i love the Tv Show "Lost" and want make a little diorama with the van in the jungle For inspiration I started to the VW Van (10220 set) but it isn't in minifig scale... than I searched some mocs but the most used techniques for recreating the van are a bit different from the original design or are very ugly in my opinion... some days ago I found on the closed official LDD Gallery one project and i love it, simple, smooth and very similar to the original VW Van... (http://ldd.us.lego.com/it-it/gallery/935a5824-b515-4b84-b5b1-fdaa79fd9754?index=62&searchword=van&from=96) after a couple of days redesigning the moc for make more strong the structural connections and changing some detail, i finally fninished the van ofcourse i will change the "tile round 2x2" in the front with a personalized one showing the "Dharma logo" 1 by Rusty B., su Flickr 2 by Rusty B., su Flickr 3 by Rusty B., su Flickr 4 by Rusty B., su Flickr You can see some other pics on my Flickr What do you think? comments are welcome P.S.: I want to change the doors with a singular sliding door... but for now i have not a good idea to recreate it mantaining the clean design and the proportion..

thanks for your comment!! this is the main "clean" design project... for the jungle diorama it will look dirty and scratched I used the blue color... for not reason... now i try to do in medium blue Edit: I checked on bricklink... and i can't do the van in "medium blue" or other blue tone... because some parts, as the doors hinge exists only in "blue" tone

hi, i'm trying to do a Tie_Defender moc.. and i ask to you if someone got a suggest or make the round cockpit

the problem is to make the cockpit really spherical. cutting out the wings structure let the design not spherical...

thanks, i will try it

hi, in this 2 months if i go to the LDD site, i can see the same gallery... i mean without updates from users... the last creation i can see is an airplane... my question is: the LDD gallery is closed? or what? really noone use the LDD gallery since gennuary 2017?

finally i've finished the first prototype of the Tie_Boarding_Craft! now i'll work on the engines, but i've not idea how they will be... i need manage some parts, because for now the model is around 1000 pieces comment the result, please idont know how to post a image... the attachment space is around 100k... for this i give you the link of google drive https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BynHx16UNsXrdlZoaExaVUdaTFE https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BynHx16UNsXrNXBuMHBCd0trTjA

For the Tie_Striker_Dropship i found this video http://ytpaki.com//watch/JwWTZK9jknU

I'm near to finish the Tie_Boarding_Craft... and for now it's near 1000 bricks

maybe my english is bad... i was mean that: when the model will be complete, i will have the cockpit with 3 pin on the back, 2 upside and one downside, and i will connect the cockpit to the crew model with theese pins and the technic brick, floating for now... is the same thing u can see reading the instructions of the tie advanced in the 75150 set... i think is a easy type of connection of modules

the floating technic brick needs to be there because i use the "module" method to create my crafts, or easy disassembling... in order to have 2 wings, one cockpit, one close cockpit and 2 crew module connected all together with technic pins

here is the .lxf https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BynHx16UNsXrRV9JUnRNdEJGV0k any suggestion for the structural design of the "crew module"? or any other ideas for a transport Tie craft?

this is my first try to do the Tie_Boarding_Craft. is a prototype in two version: Tie_Striker based and custom 75150 cockpit design. the top is open for now because in the finisched design i want a cover to open and close for manage the troopers inside. any suggestion? i have the .lxf but i dont know how to post it...

I think the canon is the Lucas vision of the Star Wars universe... the new Disney ships design is cool, but with different taste, different vision. maybe I used the wrong words when I said "non-canon"... sorry for that.. "not old school" maybe was a better definition anyway i trying to imagine an "old school" troop transport ship based on the Tie Series.. this is the main problem the Tie Boarding Craft is the nearest of my concept, but in effective creation, with minifig scale, i think is not properly easy to design to have 4 seats and a pilot... someone had created one?

the Tie Boarding Craft is cool, is similar to Tie Bomber, but, in Lego design i can't find the way to put the 4 stormtrooper inside... the structure inside not allow to have a lot of space... the Tie Reaper is very cool, a bit "not canon" but i dont care... i will try to make this design and post the result... if someone create this before me, please post it. and if you all want post your ideas for a Tie-Transport, thanks a lot

thaks for the reply! i opened the scene.sc but not understand how to modify to gain the result i want... there is a tutorial or someone can help me (here or in pm) for learn the knowledges i need to do a good rendering with bluerender?

hi, i need a help for making my renders more better: - how can i change the angle of light? is possible? if yes, i do it in bluerender or in ldd? if not... i'll cry a bit - in the options inside bluerender i see i can change the color of ground plane and background... how they works? because if i set the color of ground plane (black for example, and the background setting on white), the render shows me the model and all black background... if i set the color of background (black for example, and the ground plane setting on white), the render shows me the model, a white background and one black line on top of my image... i want to make an image with my model as i can see if i put a real brick model on a table... black table (or ground) and white wall on background... p.s.: i see on internet some beautyfull renderings with a mirror effect on the ground... maybe made with pov-ray... i can do the same effect with bluerender?

Hello, my name is Rustinidiel, I'm an AFOL specially about Star Wars sets and mocs.. I started to play lego at 5 or 6 years old... and now, 25 years later, i continue to be enjoyed to build a set or make a moc.. recently I discovered the awesome Lego Digital Designer, and with it I made some mocs or modiied a set, after I used Bricklink to buy the needed pieces for build my little collection I'm continue searching to new design, customize as i like, for build my personalized sets, display them and play them with my nephews I'm glad to be in this awesome community, and I hope to contribute well to it with my creations
