What set did they promote for using outdoor ? In the first pages of the instructions, Lego usually shows a drawing that explains that the model is made to be used indoors.

I like the bed. The dishes around the cannons are nice as well but the way the cannons are attached become meh. The macaroni tile to rounden the body near the windscreen is cool. Maybe you can find a way to improve the angle made with LBG wedges ? The door movement is very cool. Anyway you can make the knob less visible ? Maybe a lever hidden on the back of the ship ? As for the skirt, you should try both parts 42862/48165.

It would be good to have some transparency about the recruiting process to know what they are really looking for.

Do you really mind having some 1x1 plates or similar in a Technic set ?

Sure, it does look good. But it is 1000 miles away from the Lego spirit...

Hi there ! The instruction for this UCS Desert Skiff is now available trough a LDD 3D file. It is very simple to use. I charge 10€ for that instruction and UCS sticker file comes with it. Reach me by PM on Eurobricks, FlickR, Youtube, or email me directly at setechnic@gmail.com Do not hesitate to post a picture in that thread if you reproduce the model. =)

Hi ! I have finally decided to offer the possibility for people to reproduce these Jedi Interceptors. Instructions are LDD 3D file with modular design. So it is pretty easy to use. I offer UCS sticker as well. The yellow version is the easiest one to reproduce. The Dark Green one uses some expensive parts but they tend to be cheaper now. The Dark Red version is the most tricky one as it requires 4 refs to be painted with the current parts available. The price is 30€ for one model. To get the instructions, you can send me a PM on Eurobricks, Youtube, or FlickR. Or even more convenient, you can email me at setechnic@gmail.com I generally reply pretty quickly.

Obviously, it is the price. Denominated in Bitcoins.

It is still available. As always, send me an email to setechnic@gmail.com Anio

I am not sure a knob on the arm is more convenient regarding playability...

Nothing to do with details. Details can be changed / modified easily, and so, they are not a problem. As I said, the details are not a problem. The thing is deeper than that. You probably completed that build a few weeks ago, and wings already start to bend. It can (and it will !) only go worth over time. Even official product with way less constraint tend to bend over time (10030, 75095, 10212, and probably a few others). The thing here is that you have a huuuge shuttle, but the level of details and the finishes are not really better than the official product 75156. For example, joins are very important on a UCS model. And the joins here are not better than what we can see on the official playset model. To make it short, you have a model that is twice bigger but you are are far from having twice more details. In other words, you had to deal with all the problems of a big build (complex build, bending parts), without taking advantage of it. I think you should have go with a model that is "only" 50% bigger than 75156. This scale would have been more than enough to have all the details you need, and you would have strongly reduce all the problems related to structures (beyond some point, those can not be removed, this is why it is important not to make the model pointlessly big).

Sorry, but those wings really look terrible. Like the Shuttle were crying.

Very nice indeed. :) At the rear, did you consider using instead of 3 ?

At 11,000 parts, you may reach a limit : you virtually can't carry the box out of the store and put it in your car. Too big, too heavy.

The chassis looks very nice. But I think the cabin needs some rework. Too tall, too messy.
