    There doesn't seem to be anything off, compared to the instructions. What happens if you unattach those two orange pins? does the frame straighten by itself or does it stay bent?

    If the pins are removed, both panels will drop.

    Not sure whether this is still relevant considering the original date of the post but the sagging of that part has been recognized in certain reviews and I also came across it, though to a much less degree.

     

    The solution was extra bracing. You can attach a couple of 3L beams to the sides of that yellow H-shaped liftarm and then run a couple of 5 (or 7) length beams right down and attach them similarly to the 9L black ones in front. Or any other combination that might work for you with the pieces you have.

    Still relevant. Theres no expiration date hahaha 

    I'll try that and let you know what happens.

    I can see the pictures now. How big is this ship supposed to be in the end? If it's midi-scale or so, I wouldn't be too bothered about the slight misalignment, but if I were building larger, I'd want to be more precise using right triangle tricks of the sort I posted last night.

    I'm estimating between 70 - 80 cm. I'm using the 2019 UCS Star Destroyer as a scale reference. I've made changes on the design so that it looks different than the actual venator, but still keeping the overall shape.

    I have no idea what the frame looks like or how it's built, but you can build arbitrary geometries by combining right triangles with whatever integer legs you like, and lining them up hypotenuse to hypotenuse. Bram Lambrecht used this technique to great effect in 2007 and this was the first time I learned about such a strategy:

    So you can set up a frame to accommodate any wedge you like!

    Just updated the post. I added the link to show several pictures of what I have so far on Flickr.

    You need to use an image hosting site like flickr or bricksafe etc. as per:

    How can I upload pictures of my creations to the forums?

    Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.

    Aloha! Im new here. The end. Just kidding.

    If you're willing, I'm in need of some help.


    So I'm attempting to build a custom made Venator Star Destroyer using 2x4 wedge plates
    instead of 2x3 wedge plates. Ive built part of the frame, however, I noticed when the plates
    are aligned with the central beam, the frame and plates do not align perfectly on the sides. They are off by a
    few millimeters, probably 1° or less. Is there a method, pattern or dimensions that would create a
    more accurate alignment between the 2x4 wedge plate and the frame that I have? Or would
    it be wise to scrap this and go with 2x3 plates instead?


    Note: the plates will have a slope when its near completion.

    p.s. eurobricks wouldnt allow me to submit a photo bigger than 102.4 KB. so i cant show the frame that ive built. 

    Link to show the bow of the frame.
