[MOC] LEGO Custom Stormtrooper E-11 Blaster from Return of the Jedi 1200 pieces
Bender222 replied to demonhunter1988's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Love the trigger/trigger gaurd. -
sounds good. I noticed that the whole cockpit design was a bit more solid compared to the interceptor too.
-
I purchased the sf one. Just wondering, is there a reason for the horizontal cutouts on the wings?

ISD Aggressor (Star Destroyer MOC w interior and instructions)
Bender222 replied to Raskolnikov's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Possible problem. I am using version 1.2 of the instructions. book 4 (engines) on page 16 it displays this . the 1x2 dark bley plate needs to be removed in order for it to attach. I examined it in detail and found that the only way for it to correctly attach is for it to be removed. Upon removal it attaches without issue. I though it was an issue with me and maybe I had built something incorrectly because several other have completed the instructions but I double and triple checked everything and there is no way it would fit. -
MOC: Lego Ideas - Space Shuttle (Saturn V Scale)

you could build up the sidesa brick or a brick and a few plates and stick the cylinder halves ontop so that the curve starts higher above the wing. -
[MOD] UCS Imperial Shuttle 10212 (WIP)
Bender222 replied to Chronocidal Guy's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I am of the opinion that despite the incorrect shape of the cockpit/nose, studs=bad . I think it looks quite good stock.on the sides there are those curved brick pieces. they can be replaced with alternates and tiles. It looks like you got rid of the cranks for the wings, good, I think the wings would be good with just a simple pin-in-hole hinge with maybe a lock on the ends so that the wings stay either stowed ir fully extended. Maybe if you figured out how to synchronize the wings somehow so if you stowed one side it would move the other. You might even have room for a passenger cabin. The nose needs to be raised somehow so that a ramp can be placed underneath it. -

Bender222 replied to KingsKnight's topic in Special LEGO Themes
just a quick observation. if you were to give up the cargo bay doors opening you could employ something using 3x the 6x6 cylinder halves (only about 1.5 studs or so too long) it would make for a more sleek shape and you could just put some decals for the extra details. -

[MOD] UCS Slave 1 (anti-droop/bend when on stand)
Bender222 replied to ArchieNov's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I did not have 5l liftarms but I did have 7ls. Theres is room in the cockpit for the extra length on the ends. -
ISD Aggressor (Star Destroyer MOC w interior and instructions)
Bender222 replied to Raskolnikov's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I am sure of the biulding. I can push the panels on the bulge aswell like you said to narrow the gap manually so it is just loosened construction.I removed the panels and am working on reattaching them once they are retightened up. Have you considered adding a rubber band or pair of ball joint brackets to keep things tight? -

Bender222 replied to Raskolnikov's topic in LEGO Star Wars
yes, tat must be it.I can push the panels up against the hangar. -

The rear stand is attached correctly aswell, I took the front stand off when I attached the panels. It rests on the cheeses in the rear. -
ISD Aggressor (Star Destroyer MOC w interior and instructions)
Bender222 replied to Raskolnikov's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I just finished book 3. I was looking at marlin's pictures and comparing and the gap between the bottom panels and the hangar bay opening/each other seems to be a bit bigger on mine. I have assured that the panels are all connected properly and are resting on the black 2x1 cheeses on either side of the rear stand.I took some photos to illustrate what I am talking about. Is there something I forgot or that you did to make the gaps smaller? -
MOC: Lego Ideas - Space Shuttle (Saturn V Scale)
Bender222 replied to KingsKnight's topic in Special LEGO Themes
any plans to sell or release the instructions since it was not approved? -
Amazing. Are those stickers on the backs of the wings? How are the foils attached? Any rubber bands?
-
Is there a big reason that most people do not SNOT their x-wing s-foils? I ran across this t-65 on stud.io with snotted s-foils which look pretty good. Not a big fan of the fuselage and cockpit though.
-
I spent some time trying to build from your WIP pics but I could not get beyond the wings (I could never get a good angle of how the intakes were mounted to the rest of the wings or how the scissor mechanism connected to the wings.
-
theres one in the first post of the thread... nvm its broken. unable to load
-
wow,I dont know how I missed your moc. I have spent the last last week searching every x-wing moc and until just now have not seen wings as well made as yours. It is like you thought exactly as I did about the Snotting with the t-70 in particular as compared to the t-65. is there any chace you might share or sell the ldd? I dont think Id be able to even get close to what youve done on my own.
-
the Lepin model is not the same. I purchased the lepin set and used the bricks with Anio's instructions (which I also bought. He does not ask much). Still had to bricklink the missing pieces. I had the opportunity to compare the instructions and while similiar, Anio's are noticeably better. The lepin one did not even finish as there is a huge hole infront of the bridge. do yourself a favor and get Anio's

Since the t-70 foils split horizontally and vertically, you would only have a full 2 x (2.5 plate) behind the engine intakes and between the wingtip lasers. The file that I found is a t65 though.
-
a snotted foil is two plates thick, a tile piece ontop of a plate is the same thickness.The snotted one does not have exposed anti-studs or issues with the tiles not lining up with the edges. On the t-70 in particular, since the foil splits in half, you could actually make it thinner.

[MOC] [LDD] UCS INCOM T-70 X-Wing Fighter
Bender222 replied to All in the Reflexes's topic in LEGO Star Wars
looks great. Ever considered snotting the foils? -
well,, I shouod have clarified. there are not plenty of SNOT ways.
-
Awesome snot on the "wing"panels. I just wish there was a way to create the light blueish grey outline besides using the hinge plates. I have been trying to make a sith fury (very similar) but I cannot seem to figure out a better option for the outline.
