Hello! I havent posted here in a while, so i present you with a gift: these two droidsmy latest MOC. The Luxury Transport was developed on Corellia for shuttling leaders and figureheads around the planet and to nearby systems. It could also double as a conference room. Usually accompanied by two escort airspeeders, as it has no weapons of its own. It is equipped with two high-powered booster engines, aside from its main engine, for making quick getaways in the face of danger. The Transport: the cockpit: The meeting room windows: The engines: with fighter escorts: And the roof comes off. the cockpit: the meeting room: Looking out the window: whats that off in the distance? The Captain's Quarters: Meeting time: The whole interior: That's all for now. Thanks for looking! ~Tricky-Brick

obi-wan's face is priceless! i love his shocked look!

At least where i'm from, its basically famous for being so terrible. Nobody(i hope) actually thinks it's good, but for some reason this video's in the pop-culture spotlight at the moment.

Hey guys! This is my first post in a long time, and i'd like to share some of my own funnies. Sorry if it's a little small. ^Don't be ashamed if you don't quite get that one. Just consider yourself lucky That's all for now!

Wow! That's an impressive collection. how long did it take you to get all those? Are the two non-BL minifigs the darth vader repair droid and the blue spider droid? just a guess

Here's a question i've wondered about for a while: In the 10198 Tantive IV set, my princess leia's cinnabon hair was all smooth and chocolate-looking, but in the X-wing set her hair is normal and properly molded. Was this just a mismold or are they all like that?

Alright, i believe i fixed the bridge island. Here's some pics: Its much shorter and less profound now. There's the changes. It's not much, but i believe it fixes the overall look of the model. I'll have some more pictures later of the ship in its entirety. Thank's for reading! Tricky-Brick

Hello again! I have taken your comments into consideration, and made a few changes to the model. here it is. The colorscheme is a little bit different. the Open Circle marking is a bit farther down the ship, and there are now five stripes instead of 3. I think this colorscheme is more accurate. Another shot from the front. The engines. You can't really see it here, but the tail is longer. from the side. you can see the longer tail, as well as the greebles on the side. heres the major addition: The raised bridge platform-thing. Although now i realize that the sides are supposed to be flat until this hump. But i've put too much work into this to tear it down and make it all flat. It will just have to remain inacurrate. The greebles. The gaps in between the plates have been reduced, although i still cant find a way to completely seal that one gap off. The fleet, in all it's incorrectly-proportioned glory.

Hello everybody! Here's my second MOC post on Eurobricks: The Acclamator-Class Assault Ship. These ships were used for planetary assaults during the Clone Wars, and were able to enter a planet's atmosphere and land troops. They could accomodate 80 LAAT gunships, as well as 320 speeder bikes(according to wookieepedia). During the Galactic Civil War, they were somewhat outdated, but were still used to patrol the backwater areas of the Galaxy. My Acclamator can accomodate approximately 4 speeder bikes(comfortably), and i wouldnt suggest trying to fit any gunships in there. So, onto the pictures... Here it is. It isn't as big as i had originally planned, but this used up my grey plates almost in entirety(There's more in there than meets the eye). from the back. You can see the technic bars in there. from the diaganol. You can see the colorscheme here. it is almost like the normal colorscheme for Clone Wars acclamators, but i dont believe the giant republic logo was on the Clone Wars coloscheme. From the side. Getting the underside plates to fit together without much space inbetween was difficult. From the bottom. I had to use a rubber band to hold the plate to the base of the ship. From the top. from the front. The stacking of plates on top of each other without any form of true connection. A method i would prefer not to use, but had no other choice in for this project. Compared next to its comrade. I think mine is a bit big compared to the official Lego Venator.(as you may have noticed, mine lacks all the republic red pieces. i took them off to use for MOCs that needed them more. I refer to this as my end-of-Episode III-Venator. Well, there it is. This isnt my favorite MOC, but when i set out to make an Acclamator i wasn't going to give up. i went through various other methods of design, but none of them worked as well as this one. So, not my proudest presentation, but i figured i'd share it nevertheless. Thanks for looking! -Tricky-Brick

This made my day! Its such a funny idea and the horse's expression makes it perfect. But who knows if Vaders intentions are really so perverted? Maybe the horse just needs a prostate exam? . they don't call him Darthoctor Vader for nothing!

Very impressive! The amount of detail and the greeblings is really nice. It must've taken a long time to pull this off so seamlessly.

A question i have always wondered about: On the Clone Turbo Tank, which side is the front? I always figured it was the thinner end, with the "neck", because it looked more like a head. But it looked like Lego wanted the front to be the fat end, since that is the end facing you on the box. And in RotS, i think in one brief moment they were seen rolling around on Kashyyk and the fat end was going first. Thanks, Tricky-Brick

I really like this ship as it looks so much like a WWII fighter plane. the underside is nice and detailed too, which adds a lot. Good work! -Tricky-Brick

hey everyone, In the Separatist Shuttle set, is Onaconda's head hard plastic like with the older molds, or rubbery like they've been doing lately? Thanks, Tricky-Brick

Unless the bags are numbered, i usually find a shalllow cardboard box, or in some cases the set's box itself, and dump all the pieces in there at once. I haven't the patience for sorting all of the pieces, and i enjoy chasing for the pieces i need. Of course once in a while i cant find a piece, and i get a bit worried. Usually i find it, except in the case of my republic cruiser, which was not only missing pieces but was in the box in large chunks. I guess it had been built once before, broken apart(badly), and then stuffed back in the box and resealed? Who knows what they were doing at Toys R Us that day...

Thank you all for your feedback! I've taken you're comments into consideration, and decided to try to smooth out the look of the cruiser. Here's a few pics(more to come): An overhead shot. I hope you like the green as the secondary color. I was going to do dark red like the Tantive IV, but i thought green was more exotic and might be more interesting. you can also see how mcuh smoother the middle is now with the tiles. here's a closer look at the body(sorry for the not-great lighting). And from the front. And here's the maxi-drive breaching. It spits fire because it doesn't work very well(or because it's too powerful...I haven't decided yet) Thank you for looking! I'll have more pics up soon with further progress. -Tricky-Brick

Even though im not much of a fan of the CW sets, I just may have to buy that Mandalorian BP...or two...or three . I'm glad it has four of the same figures, making it better for army building. This year's battlepacks, while i liked the rebel bp, i thought were pretty diluted. Instead of having an army of snowtroopers/rebels, you'd have an army of some rebels and a bunch of Zevs/a few snowtroopers mixed with AT-AT pilots and officers. I may also have to buy the Battle for Naboo set. It doesnt look like too much of a battle, since there's only two gungans and one vehicle, but i do like Jar-jar's new head design. Some kaadus would make it better, but you can't have everything. -Tricky-Brick

I am proud to introduce my first MOC post on Eurobricks, the Rebel Cruiser! Developed from my imagination the Kuat Drive Yards, this Cruiser was a prototype vehicle that utilized a new advancement in lightspeed travel. It featured a Maxi-Drive, which allowed the ship to travel at speeds more than double that of normal lightspeed. The drive yards produced only two of these ships, to be used for testing. The first Cruiser to test out the Maxi-Drive resulted in ship pieces being scattered all across the galaxy. To avoid bad press, the Drive Yards scrapped the project, and the Empire took custody of the second Cruiser, which was to be used for weapons testing. However, the Rebels crashed this party and hijacked the cruiser. They are still working on perfecting the Maxi-Drive, and currently use the Cruiser for raids and quick evacuations, due to the Cruiser's ability to travel at very high speeds. The Cruiser has minimal weaponry, and relies on fighter escorts. It is the first to flee the area should any imperial fleets stop by. Captain Dan will give you the tour of the Cruiser. Here it is from an overhead view. you can see how big it is compared to a minifigure. The cockpit: Inside the cockpit(no hats allowed) The middle section. It is almost an exact copy of the Republic Cruiser. The inside is also almost exactly like the Republic Cruiser. The back/engines. This section is similar to that of the Republic Cruiser. Greebling on the engine Another shot. Here you can see the greebling on the sides. A side shot. You can see the detailing, the whole shape of the ship, and the various holes The ship compared to its brethren from which it was inspired by: well, that's all. I realize "captain Dan" was only in four pictures, but that's because i left him in the cockpit and forgot about him during the photoshoot. So he did a bad job at giving you the tour, but i hope the pictures did better. Feel free to leave any feedback. I also apologize for the discoloration on some of the white plates. I have poor storage techniques, and it shows. Thanks for looking! -Tricky-Brick

Hello all! I've known about Eurobricks for a while, but today is the day i finally decided to make an actual account. I came across this website a few months ago when tryng to find an in-depth review of the 8039 Venator set. I had never been to any lego forum websites before, and once i discovered that Eurobricks had reviews of all the sets I hadn't bought yet and wanted to see in detail before purchasing, I couldnt stay away from this site. I also liked reading reviews of older sets from my earlier years, bringing back fond memories. As for my tastes in lego, I basically stay with the lego star wars theme, focusing on the OT and PT. The 8039 Venator and 7675 At-TE have been my only exceptions, since i regard them as PT, and because i missed out on the first version of the AT-TE. I have also explored the Town theme a bit, although i mostly buy discontinued house sets from a long time ago, trying to create a residential area rather than an armada of planes and construction vehicles. When i was younger i enjoyed the various space themes, but ive stopped buying the newer ones since I don't find the Space Police/Mars Mission themes very interesting. I like building MOCs of star wars ships, although most of them come from my own imagination and are not based off of an actual ship/vehicle. As for my other hobbys, I am very interested in film and am on my way to learning to become a film director. I enjoy playing baseball and running cross country, as well as writing. So hopefully i will fit in well with the Eurobricks community, and i especially look forward to posting some of my MOCs. -Tricky-Brick
