    Thanks T12V This is by far my favorite ship in the SWU. From my perspective the new fuselage design made it a worthy platform - which is why I'm not too bothered spending $140 on a set I have to modify. Oh well, it certainly isn't the first time *cough 10212*

    Fantastic destroyer all around! Great presentation and photography as well. • Impressed with the thought behind the design - from the fold back panels to the hidden carry handle. Very clever. • Your persistence paid off with the main drive engine design. Great detail surrounding the drive engines as well. The disc shooter bricks work really well for detail, too. • The stand design is pefect - simple and functional. All this with a full interior. What's not to like??! As you mentioned, this is a perfect option when display space is limited. Nicely done, thanks for posting this!

    Thanks FZ ...everyone check out Evil Kirk and Quarrie's Workshop on Rebrickable

    Thanks joebiewan. This mod is a mash-up of various ideas. The cockpit redo is nearly all from Quarrie's Workshop mod (link provided above). I re-shaped the folding wings following his mod as well. The dorsal stabilizer I just filled in after adding the 3 fwd inverted 1x2 slopes and the additional 1x5x6 large slope. The engine exhaust is slightly modified so the trans-light blue tiles are recessed. Other than that, the fuselage remains unchanged - including the interior. I would definitely recommend this set if you're a fan of this vehicle, as the fuselage design is brilliant and tough as nails - wouldn't change a thing in that regard.

    Tweaked the proportions and adjusted to my liking. Credit to Quarries Workshop on Rebrickable for the folding wing and cockpit changes.

    I admire your patience - Lambda shuttles are my kryptonite. I have a couple 75459 copies that were just delivered to my work address and I probably won't stop with just two. I like Quarries Workshop mod (now available on Rebrickable) and I'll mess around with some of those changes. Congratulations, btw, that's an impressive accomplishment. What is your field of study?

    No, and yes =oD

    Oh hell yes! Great looking build. The contrast between the smooth paneling and the 'city scape' details works so well - especially with the color change. Great technique to achieve the aft cutaway angles. Can't tell from the photos, but any issues with drooping? Nice work - and very professional photography - thanks for posting this.

    I rarely post in this forum but the 'front page' feature works! The concave wall curvature (and internal bracing) is a fantastic spin on an already innovative technique. What is most interesting to me is how the curves are achieved without the obvious goto 1x2 plate with round edges. Bravo!

    I'll go along with the latest leak and say around $850. The top view looks perfect (if we are to give this image any credibility, of course). If fake, I imagine it's close.

    An excellent piece for sure!! A most unique format as well - not really a bust, not a full figure...I can't say I've seen anything quite like this. And the scale! This is a giant model. The armor detail is fantastic and - as always - your photography is exemplary. Thanks for posting this - LOVE IT! (And yes, RO is right in line with my personal SW 'head canon' linking Andor and the OT)

    ...I cannot disagree, with Andor being an exception. Case in point, I caught the Solo movie while channel surfing on archaic network television last night (parent's house for the New Year). I found myself watching it to the end and actually enjoying the experience. Apparently I have softened a bit on my opinion of this film...didn't see that coming. I think Ehrenreich and Glover were pretty well cast for their roles. I liked Chewie's performance and Woody Harrelson shockingly fit into the SW universe better than I remember. Underrated film in retrospect? I'm kinda leaning that way. ...also the 75219 AT-Hauler and the two landspeeders were pretty cool sets from solid action sequences.

    Fantastic! @MKJoshA, thank you for posting this on the front page - I might have missed it otherwise. Clearly inspired by the Starship Yamato, yes? I especially like how the vessel is bristling with antennae and sensor arrays - it certainly adds to the 'realism.' Another feature that impresses me is the level of micro-scale detail you have achieved with the hangar bays, small fighters / support craft and decks open to space. Everything from the color scheme, engine detail and greeblies are top-notch. Great use of those old style Technic bushings with teeth! (environmental handling?) Mostly studless, but not entirely - perfect mix. Any plans for instructions, or?

    ...new Imperial Policy Memo pending...

    Seconded. Fantastic little speeder with such limited parts! Great use of that 2x2 double cutout tile for the steering vanes up front...not sure I even realized that element existed Nice work.
  18. lowlead
    Ohhhhhh man - sand blue TIE Advanced for the win here! I love it!!
  19. lowlead
    A great mash-up for sure! I'm the opposite with regard to Speed Champions. My fist purchase will be the DeLorian, and could be my last unless they do more stuff like the BTTF. Either way, the studless detail on these are fantastic - super clean. I'm not sure which one I like more...prob the color scheme and detail on the Dark X, especially on the hood and behind the cockpit. These would fit right in ripping around the equator of Coruscant. Helga & R-Toobad are awesome!

    "Oh...it's...beautiful!" EK, I cannot repeat it enough - you have achieved greatness here...right down to the ultra Luxe display stand! You are among an elite handful of MOC designers who presented a creation that immediately inspired me to begin gathering parts. In other news, I changed my mind about the interior - I went for the fleet model with aft weapons locker. Due to a small error in a Bricklink order I'm missing a DBG 1x3x3 door so the 'refresher' currently has no privacy But the transparent yellow round tile made me laugh! I'll make a point to post more photos as I go - your design deserves all the press it can get.

    ...Christmas arrived a few days ahead of schedule! This design is incredible - I'm at a loss for words. A few interior tweaks to accomplish, more photos to follow....

    As much as I dislike this movie I must say you have captured the lighting aesthetic from the casino sequence perfectly. Great floor treatment as well.

    "...I tell you, this shuttle will be operational as planned."
  24. lowlead
    I like the executive interior so I'm leaning towards the Emperor's version - with the fancy stand, of course - but I also like small bits of color variation on the stabilizers. I might ignore the official versions and do a hybrid of the two just cuz I prefer the look. Surely the Emperor had a spare shuttle or two on hand. My completion goal is earlier than Spring but work always impedes. I will double my efforts!
  25. lowlead
    DOIN' IT!! Instructions purchased, first parts order already completed...now to sift through piles of inventory to see what I have and what I need. My 10212 will also be torn apart soon. This will take a while...my guess is early Spring for completion. Building is the easy part - it's the planning, printing, sorting and sourcing that takes all the time. I can't even imagine all the hours you invested to DESIGN the damn thing! Forever grateful. "Bring my shuttle..."
