    Great review, MKJoshA! You seem to be a natural for these: good pictures, and good narration content as well. This is the first I've heard of this set. Personally, I think this vehicle would go very nicely with a pirate fleet; right alongside the swoops, sand skiffs, pirate tanks, and Starhoppers in the tan/brown color scheme used by many of the lawless bands raiding and scavenging the Outer Rim territories! Thanks for this!

    Looks like a sturdy build. Does it have an interior?
  3. kingodacheez
    Very impressive vehicle! Radio-controlled Lego vehicles are a bit of a rarity. Job well done.
  4. kingodacheez
    Do you have a giant project in mind?
  5. kingodacheez
    Fantastic build! Is it difficult to transport? Will you be doing threads to highlight the individual structures and vehicles?
  6. kingodacheez
    Have you built this one yet? Yeah, uh, nevermind...
  7. kingodacheez
    They both look great! Try looking through the instructions database for articulation ideas http://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/theme/lego_star_wars. That's what I use for inspiration and troubleshooting.

    This looks great! Being exactly accurate to canon (down to the tiniest greeble) isn't that important, unless the model is supposed to be a UCS representation. As long as the builder is satisfied with the efforts and result: that is what its all about. I like to think that the Empire is really vast. Mission-specific modifications to vehicles and equipment are necessary to adapt for changing requirements in most armies. Really good work, dmarkng!

    Yes! Really great diorama. Well thought out; with balanced colors and original vehicles! Would like to see the expanded version as well.

    This simple design looks good, so far. It wouldn't be too difficult to add the fourth wheel set. Keep it up!
  11. kingodacheez
    Those are some great figures! I wonder who makes those... (edit) WOW! What a great thread.

    This line was way too short-lived in my opinion. There was a lot of competition from staple sets and new themes; which was probably what reduced its popularity. I think the line would have done better if TLG had more sales feedback (read: too busy with other projects), but it just couldn't match all of the competition from multiple popular themes. Had there been a couple more seasons worth of waves, maybe it could have evolved into a theme that really took off. Personally; I really like the team colors and have purchased a huge army of the light blue minifigs from BL to field as wargaming troops. Once that army is completed, there will be another in a different color representing a different faction. As far as the future of non-licensed themes; NK makes a strong positive example of viability.

    Wow! I thought I was the only one who loves this show. This is an excellent build, and the building instructions are easy to follow. Thank you for this,King_Arthur; you've made an 'old' sci-fi geek VERY happy today! According to the previous size comparison images; the Mattel Eagle 1 ship from the '70s is pretty close to being minifig scale. How cool is that?
  14. kingodacheez
    Oy, Mate! This is a great technique for creating the spherical shape. Any chance of a partial teardown for building reference? I couldn't quite get it from the Flickr pics. I'd also like to see how the "wings" are put together.

    Fantastic work! These clones are works of art. Would love to see TLG put this much detail into their production minifigs: I'd even be willing to pay a little extra for these as a single figure polybag!
  16. kingodacheez
    Very neat work, AlecLantz. Kinetic sculptures are kind of a rare thing in the brick world. Put that on your coffee table, and you'll always have a great conversation piece!
  17. kingodacheez
    Yes! I was wondering if anyone could build this ship. You've captured the smooth curves very well. Anxious to see what you do for the interior!
  18. kingodacheez
    I'm adding my kudos to the already growing heap of praise for this ship! There wasn't any Blacktron influence in my past: but there most definitely is in my future. Excellent attention to detail and greebling. A really neat thing about this one is the almost modular appearance it has with the linear cabin arrangement. Was that your intention?
  19. kingodacheez
    Very nicely done! The lines are clear of excessive greebling, and color is evenly distributed. The feet look like stable platforms. How much articulation is available with this build?
  20. kingodacheez
    Up until seeing this; I hadn't paid much attention to this ship. You did an impressive lot of detail work that looks as though it belongs on the original TLG design. Would you change the start of your post to show a pic of the original model? A side-by-side comparison would be a great opener!
  21. kingodacheez
    Yes; very tastefully done. That brings back a lot of memories from waaayyy back!
  22. kingodacheez
    Your efforts have produced a very impressive man-cave! Just out of curiosity: how long are the long 'slots' in the light panels, and what diameter of hole saw should be used to recreate them?
  23. kingodacheez
    VERY nicely done, Kevin W.! I saw the Hasbro version of this in the stores, but really like the way it looks in minifig scale. Thanks for posting this!
  24. kingodacheez
    That's funny it is described as a modular ship. Just today I was reading "Tarkin", and it described common pirate and smuggler vessels as being modules cobbled together; not based on any commercial design. I'm pretty excited about adding this to my spaceport!
  25. kingodacheez
    Well, the Empire does occupy a lot of systems you know... I haven't read the article, and wonder if that number includes all variants of armor types.
