[MOC/Instruction] Star Destroyer Chronicle
TemjinStrife replied to onecase's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Built all three of these. Great models, particularly the ISD and Finalizer (I especially appreciate how rigid the top panels on the Finalizer are!) Is there any rhyme or reason to the use of boat studs vs. the top half of turntables as a low profile method of holding the plates together? Some of the boat studs don't seem to grip as well as the turntable halves. -
To be fair, the "single bare layer of plates" is probably more accurate to the ILM model, as one of the reasons it wasn't featured more heavily was that the S-foils were too thin and tended to disappear against the greenscreen background.

[MOC] TIE Interceptor - FREE INSTRUCTION
TemjinStrife replied to Kozikyo86's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Looks great! Sort of like a "set plus" model. -
This is 100% my experience. Figuring out where and how you can apply pressure, and how much to use (enough to engage clips/connect studs, but not too much to cause something else to fail) is the biggest challenge with the build.
-
Well that is gorgeous.
-
It's fragile and complicated until it all goes together, then it's a bit less fragile. Definitely the most challenging build I've done, though, as it's very easy to apply too much pressure to one spot and have the delicately-balanced incomplete nose break apart!
-
That was definitely one of the more challenging parts of a challenging build!
-
It's basically Brickwright's Y-wing body with his own mods, and he's posted instructions for the "head" so you can reverse engineer from that.

Good to know, thanks!

Wow. A spectacular rendition. -
Wow.
-
Wow the engines mod makes it look so much better!
-
I've always loved the look of this set and your mods are a big improvement. To the extent you have instructions or a file down the line, I'd be interested to see them!
-
Yeah, after you do a few of these MOCs, you get an idea for where you can search and replace with cheaper/easier to find parts (jumper (15573) and clip variations (Thick O and 15712) are key).

I did this on my (lightly modified) IcarusBuilds Delta-7B and it worked great. No pictures of my model, but similar construction of the nose: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/158763-moc-minifig-scale-delta-7b-aethersprite-class-light-interceptor/&tab=comments#comment-2919482
