    amazing work :)

    oh my, i think I will end ordering and making all your MOCs :)

    Just ordered parts to build your First Order Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle this morning ;)

     

    tho, I think I would love darker grey on the wings of this TIE rather than the shades of grey, maybe i'm getting used to seeing Empire/First Order's ships in dark colors...

    Just to clarify, parts of 75179 make up for 13% of the MOC pieces.
    I didn't count exactly how many parts of 75179 were used, but it is definitely way more than 13%, and the printed parts alone make it worth it !

    For the order details, I will try to find the time to collect it, but no promises ^^

     

    Hi !

    Thanks for clarifying.

    Thanks also for the order details whenever you can.

    In the meantime, merry Xmas holidays ! :)

    Hi macaron35, excellent information. I spend a lot of time choosing the pieces and checking that they are easily available and at a good price. Usually for my MOC I calculate 0.10 / 0.15 euro per piece but in the case of the TS-Project you can safely stay around 0.08 / 0.10 euro per piece.
    Then I always recommend buying an official 75179 set.

    Hi Mirko,

    Thanks for the info.

    Is the 75179 set worth its price considering that AfolFree only used 13% of the set ?

    I was wondering if it's a bit too expensive to buy a full set for just 13% vs bricklink.

     

    I am trying to get an estimate of the costs before ordering your instructions manual and the pieces

    Edit: I sent you an email to order the book :)

    I was about to ask a question of size compared to other UCS, just saw Mirko's flickr page, got my answer

     

    I am thinking about building a coffee table to put my Millenium Falcon but I realize that most SW MOCs are quite big, where do you guys display your U-Wing ?

    Bricklinker feedback if anyone is interested :

    • Around 13% of the part list is covered by 75179, including most of the printed parts and minifigs, so make sure you get one :) I got mine for ~50€
    • I got another 16% from Bricks and Pieces (France) ~100€
    • The rest came down to around 110€ without shipping from bricklink

    So, including instructions, the entire ship will cost me approximatly 350€. Not too bad for over 3k pieces.

    Hello AfolFree from a fellow French member :)

     

    I was wondering if you could share me your order details so I can check if I could also get the parts for a similar budget.

    I just contacted StarBricks about ordering his instructions.

    Thanks.
