    Hello Everyone. I decided to take my Z-95 headhunter set apart and transform it into a V-19 Torrent. My goal was to try and use majority of the pieces from the original set. As the build went on I found out I needed more pieces to supply for the gear mechanism that drives all the wings into landing or take off mode, as well for the middle wing. All the wings fold down together with ease, but are so heavy, they do not make it up as well without assistance, compared to LEGOs official set. They are locked in landing mode with the middle wing via 2x1 clipped hinge. I based this solely on the Tartokovsky Clone Wars, but has bits of The Clone Wars design in it to. Though the Z-95 was a very well design set, I just love the design and functionality of the V-19 over it. Flickr

    Looks sweet. Better flow than the official sets. Wow, I had never even thought of it being a cargo pod just for the kessel run, I thought it was some bs they added to retcon the Falcon.

    well they were gone within 2 hours when I checked, shoot

    Are we talking about the short snap together ladders? or the giant ones that are used on pirate ships? I am only seeing the short snap ones

    That is looking quite beautiful!

    these remind me so much of the LEGO Star Wars original Trilogy video game. You have them posed exactly how they move in the game.

    Incredible! just Incredible. You seem to have conquered the most frustrating part which others have failed to do and that's having a proper structure. I like how smooth you were able to keep it with all the complicated angles and slopes the ship has. The interior is a great touch also. Very simple, and accurate!

    I have no experience with this what so ever. Try watching some of Solid Brick Studios videos he builds a lot of bases, that might help with some insight. Especially his Kashyk builds. Good Luck!

    but this set didn't even appear anywhere and no one can seem to find the source material for it. Kind of sad really, We will never know what this goofy set was supposed to look like. Legos sales for this for surely suffer. At least the snowspeeder was in the background and deleted scene form the movie.

    What the prequels lacked in good story telling they made up for with great ships and scenery. Or am I just biased because I grew up with them? Great MOC!
  11. Smitty500
    Sounds like you just took up a new challenge

    Looking really good. Is this minifig scale? I heard this thing is supposed to even bigger then the AT-AT
  13. Smitty500
    THat is the risk you run while working the second hand market of LEGO. It is all gambling. We don't even know what this set looks like or what parts it holds. I am not a UCS collector myself. But if I were to get into it now, I would just go straight for the new set, assuming it is improved over the previous version. I am not sure how other collectors feel. Some may want every single set out there, while others may want just the nicest/updated version of it.

    Great Review! It's been bothering me that you have the 2x2 flipped in the wrong direction on the nose!
  15. Smitty500
    This is very good scaled down version. You captured the the rounded edges and a lot of the details that the ship has. I really like the nose, as that is always the hardest part to design. and you got the doors to close perfectly together to make a seamless fit. Very nice, I wonder if I had added any inspiration??
  16. Smitty500
    WOOT WOOT! I don't even have the set, but I have the older one with the stand! This was a really fun guessing game. How do I claim my prize?
  17. Smitty500
    I am thinking it is for some small star fighter. It does not look sturdy enough for larger ships. But I can't tell if it's for something that already has a stand or not. Honestly most things benefit from a display stand. hmmm. All I can think of is either a B-Wing or old school Slave I fitting in there. Because those are the only ships that look the best when displayed upright/.

    This is a great rendition of the Falcon. Very smooth and the proportions look perfect. With all the details in the model, could you take more close ups of it? I love looking at the interior details. Could use a little more light as well.
  19. Smitty500
    Well I haven't done any big mocs like what you want to accomplish. But all I can think of what you need to start with is a good frame to hold the entire thing together. a good foundation is what is needed, then fill in your interior where you can and modify your structure. Are you working with real bricks or in a program? I would hope DTS would come in a and comment, since he is the one that has the experience with the thing. Good luck, this project will be a big challenge. I have seen many people say they are building one but never follow through.

    I love to 3D print. and these turned out pretty good as far as 3d printing goes. But as actual minifigs they kind of look like horrific/scary force ghosts. lol. Though these are a cheap solution to fill the void. Personally I would try to mold transparent minifigs. It's a good start though to custom figs.
  21. Smitty500
    Back when sets were simple and easy to build and not afraid to disassemble because they could easily be built back. Very fond memories with this set, an easy army builder. Has anyone else's leaves completely broken off?
  22. Smitty500
    I just looked through your instructions, I really like this build. Maybe someday I will attempt this. It's funny, all you basically did was double the size of the set to be a more accurate scale. Can I ask, how you made your instructions?
  23. Smitty500
    I'll admit, I am not a fan of a bunch of tiny pieces crammed into a small MOC , with all the illegal techniques and custom parts. But I suppose it is it's own art form. Droideka is the coolest CIS droid, and you captured all the detail. I really like the upside down helmet (that is new). and your background to showcase it is stunning!
  24. Smitty500
    they look like a custom mold. Reminds me of wuzzupbobs customs. Very well done figs regardless
  25. Smitty500
    Wow that is one ugly toy! you did a good job of recreating it in lego form!
