Thank you all for nice comment, I'm glad I made you smile , your kind words make me smile too. @Milan I apologize for too big photos. I thought the size constraint only applied to width of the photos. As I said, it's been a while... Btw., is there any way for giving a heads-up to the guys at SW forum, as this one is their cup of tea as well? I guess double posting isn't ok. Is it possible to post a shortcut of some kind to this topic in other forums? @LXF Heh, the Schwartz It really took me a long time to take SW saga seriously as Spaceballs was the first one I saw. LUDICROUS!!!

Great! I was really disappointed when I saw there is no hovering there in thr actual tank . Tracked tank is so much cooler, even for SW universe and you did a great job here! I wish the official set was anywhere near to yours. I think Disney "forgot" to mention that there are tracks to TLG designers. Congratulations again!

Good job. I wondered when one of this will hit the MOCing scene. I've only watched the movie once, but i think the whole ship should be a bit longer - I remember more space between the two wing pairs... But nonetheless, great job! I guess/hope we can expect an official Rogue1 set as well.

Nice modifications, I guess TLG could squeeze those xtra 10 parts in this set. I guess it is a bit much to say that this set sucks. It is what it is at this price point. I think room for improvement is a good thing actually. If there wouldn't be some, you /we couldn't make it better :-) Best regards, Miha

Looks really nice, although the arm offset is a bit unusual. Did you build in real life first or digitaly? Excelent first MOC!

Hello dear EB members, it really has been too long since I posted anything from my hands, but that only means I am lazy posting - not building. There are several creations I would like to publish ASAP, so here is the first one: The Dark Side of the Force never rests, so must not Lord Vader himself. Although he is strong with the Force, he is pretty tired after full 6 days of pedalling on two of our LUG's events in October and start of December. I give you The Dark Side Of Exercise. I got the idea a long time ago and got extra inspired by Jason Alleman a.k.a. JK Brickworks and his moving masterpieces - especially the Sizifus. After thinking about it for too long, I finally bought the 75111 Darth Vader set, which had to be modified quite a lot on the inside - outside remains the same. All the skeleton with bionicle ball joint parts was replaced by technic axles and u-joints in order to get a freely movable body. A free rotation of hips, shoulders and waist was also necessary. Free movement of ankles anf wrists is provided with bar pieces (I admit I cut 4L bars into 2L bars - I never thought I was capable of such horid acts ) Pedalling torture device was a bit more of a challenge. The main problem was getting all the necessary motion from rather spacious pedestal to a slim orbitrek body. I am pretty happy with the outcome, even though the gearing in the pedestal is a mess. The main goal was to get the body in its highest position twice in one revolution of the pedals. The gear ratio between those two is therefore 2:1 and they have to be synchronised so that the body is at its highest when the pedals are horizontal. The rest of the body motion is provided by linkages amongst freely movable parts of the body and the orbitrek. Another part run by the same motor is the big wheel, which is propelled by a small wheel inside the orbitrek body. This wheel is geared up a lot, so it turns fast enough. Running this MX bike wheel by contact proved to be most demanding for the whole system and caused most friction and wear of the parts and motor. A LEGO chain is not the best way to drive anything for a long time as well. You must guess it was a lot of fun to repair after it broke a couple of times during the exhibition. To conclude this presentation I give you another photo in Ludicrous Speed mode and of course a short video of swinging this man's booty from side to side Thank you for your attention and "May the Force be wih you!!!" Best regards and a Happy New Year, Miha You can check out bigger photos here: http://bricksafe.com/pages/MajklSpajkl/the-dark-side-of-exercise

I like the bodywork and performance seems good. Job well done! Have you tried it outdoors?

That is one nice band, poor fellas, their eyes seem a bit sore from the spotlights Happy Holidays everyone!

The only thing this thing is missing is a Snowtrooper buildable figure on it, the rest is perfect ;-)

That s really nice module! Well done on the whole idea! I like that auto-stop function a lot! Best regards, miha

Really nice of you to share the instructions! Great work, thank you very much!

@rm8: Thanks for your video, you made me feel a bit better - I thought I had a small LEGO room (2.5x2.2 m) but now that I see you have a whole square meter less, it doesn't feel so small anymore

Any news on release date for this new wave?

The wheels on the jet are not new, maybe a new colour, but the mould is used in Speed Champions series.

This is just crazy!!! Is this man even human??? I was wondering what to expect next from him - I guess best answer would be: The unexpected. A real marvel. I'm in awe. I bow to the master

Wow, you sure don't rest :-) Looks fantastic, I really like those mudguards and other curves made by 3L beams. What combo of flex axles did you use for the mudguards?

Congratulations! Rrally great MOCs were spawned by TC10. I regret I didn't have time to participate. Good job all of you!

Well, I think thats Kirill behind the wheel. I hope he's not only observing birds ;-)

I guess there is no word for this but: Envy :-) How was the ride?

Indeed this is fascinating!!! That fender piece on the rear is just made for it! Perhaps the front lights are a bit too narrow, but that is just a minor observation ;-) I guess Mr. Alasdair will have to create a sub-topic in HOF just for your models :-) Best regards, Miha

Awesome looking machine. I've neever seen it before. You really got the shape and form and the implementation of 3 mode steering is really nice. I like how you used some model team addons, but not too much to keep it technic and still look realistic. Great job!

I think it's a bad idea. It would make people who still have to vote biased towards one entry or another, some would change their votes etc. I think those who can't wait and are counting the points should keep them for themselves.

20: 10 1: 6 22: 4 34: 3 12: 2 3: 1 __________________________________________________________ Just not enough points to give!!! Well done everyone. I'm in awe! My honorable 10 (in entry topic order): 5, 9, 13, 15, 16, 21, 25, 32, 33, 37.

Heh, I just noticed a huge operator of this beast Very good idea for the controls!

This is really adorable! These mini builds fascinate even more than regular ones.
