    I believe the stands are made from the following two parts in Trans Clear: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=85941#T=C https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=87552#T=C There are two of each part connected together to make one level of the stand for the two different kinds of stands.

    This is very well done! The stand is excellent as well. I'd love to build this and I don't even own the starfighter.

    Any idea when Lego would post the instruction manual online? I'm not going to get this for a while (ever?), but would like to study the building techniques used for it.

    Any idea if the Technic, Axle 16 can be replaced with a color other than white? i don't have the manual with me currently. Blue Squad #70

    I just picked up my copy, but won't be able to open it till this evening. Paid for it on Sunday and received it on Wednesday from Italia to the US. Thanks, Mirko!

    Is that Cavegod's version of the AT-AT?

    Does anyone have the parts list that they can send me? I've tried doing the BOM function in LDD for the .lxf file and it keeps crashing LDD. Thanks!

    I'm contemplating doing this as a (very!) long term project. Curious how many books are in the instructions? Could the parts list be broken down by book/? Thanks!

    Looks fantastic! But I may be biased.

    This is a great design executed very well!

    The list of parts can be found on Rebrickable. Part list

    Scott, Do you have an idea of how many #87081 bricks could be used for the build? I'd rather use those instead of getting so many of the 4x4 round plates. Thanks.
  13. sandtrooper
    I agree!

    My UCS Falcon build was primarily inspired by the ESB version. I included both red and white LEDs on the mandibles because they are both shown in the movie. If I could have figured it out, the white would have been switchable independent of the red ones. Anyway great job reverse engineering this version of the Falcon.

    Started building this a week or so ago. Started with the fuselage first before doing the legs. About halfway through building the first leg at this point. Really have enjoyed the build (for the most part) so far. Have great admiration for the techniques used to create the shape of the main body and the design of how the feet can flex at the base of the legs. Thanks again for making this MOC available and for the instructions!

    This is brilliant. Really like the techniques you're using for the trench and the shield generators!

    Thank you to everyone involved for making this model available! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

    I'm going to a six day work week through the holidays, so won't get around to it till early next year. I haven't even opened it yet.

    Amazon had the set for 40% off on Friday, so went ahead and ordered it. It arrived this morning and is far heavier than I was expecting. I'd rather have a Lego version of this but beggars can't be choosy.

    ecmo, do you have a pic of the stand before it was attached to the bow of the ship? I am primarily interested in seeing what clear elements you used. Looks like some lift arms and...? Also what are the length of the black tech bricks? Thanks!

    Hello, For part 64951 Container, barrel half large with axle hole was this painted for the final model? I don't see it in LBG on Bricklink. Would medium blue work instead?

    Hello again, The list for Bricklink parts are below. They are broken up into two lists for the different holders. Each list is for one holder. I used four of the Technic holders and six of the ball and socket holders in my build, so you will have to multiply the number of parts by how many holders you need. Technic holder 3707 Technic axle 8 (2 each) 32523 Technic 1 X 3 liftarm thick (1 each) 87083 Technic axle 4 with stop (1 each) 3713 Technic bush (2 each) 32013 Technic axle and pin connector (2 each) 4265c Technic bush 1/2 smooth (1 each) 42003 Technic axle and pin connector perpendicular 3L with two holes (1 each) 2476 Plate modified 2 x 2 with peg (1 each) Ball and socket holder 3022 Plate 2 x 2 (1 each) 3680c02 Plate 2 x 2 with turntable (1 each) 57909 Technic brick modified 2 x 2 with ball (1 each) 32174 Technic axle connector 2 x 3 with ball socket (1 each) 43093 Technic pin with axle connector (1 each) Hope this helps, Pat

    Thanks. I didn't come up with the holders. Just sharing what was found earlier in this thread. Just realized on the fifth picture, the turntable and 2X2 plate should go on top of the dark blu/gray brick rather than the way it is pictured. Turntables can also be used on the technic holders to better deal with the angle of the hull plates.

    Hello everyone, My Venator was finished a few months ago without using magnets to attach the bottom hull pieces. The first set of holders was stolen influenced from Jeff McClain's build shown earlier in this thread. They attach to the bottom plate and then the keel in the center. There are two pairs for each hull plate (four total). (Click to see larger versions of the pictures) The other holders are made from five elements including a 2X2 turntable. The turntable allows the holder to pivot to attach to the hull plate and then to the technic frame. They can also be rotated around the technic pin with axle to pull the hull closer to the frame. There are three of these attached to outer edge of the frame on each side (six total). The holders keep the hull very stable with no movement when the ship has been moved. They can also be placed in several places to keep the hull from sagging. Hope this helps any of you contemplating building this fantastic MOC. They are a very cheap alternative to the magnet holders.

    I ordered the UCS TIE Fighter from the US version of Amazon for $125 shipped this morning.
