    That's a great little engine. Gonna' have to break out the spray paint though!

    Thanks for the tip! I tried to order more then 200 by calling customer service but they would not allowed to do that. We're stuck with ordering in batches of 200 which is going to cost unnecessary postage. Oh, well, A few extra bucks to able to get these in quantities is fantastic! Now just need to get part #2540 (Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Handle on Side) back in a new set.

    Sounds like we need to riot in the streets of Billund! Who's with me?

    Pandazerg: I touched on this in the 6th post back on page one of this thread. Before the official instructions were out, it was reverse-engineered as chronicled here: I've got LDD copies of the reverse engineered version which has the spine tied into the engine block. Read though that thread and see if it helps. Since you have purchased a copy of the official instructions, I'd be happy to send you a copy of the LDD instructions that show how that was done. PM me with your email address when you have enough posts.

    Train builders rejoice! The reddish-brown 1x2 with handle on the side is back!

    The barrel issue was the very first discussion we had all the way back on page one! I drilled my pair of LBG #4424's. One Neb builder used part #6942 (Dish 5 x 5 Scala) but the are not cheaper then the 1/2 barrels.

    Great job capturing the essence of the F7! Especially the "sad eyes" front windows. Hope to see some plans made available so that it can be "kit-bashed" into other road color schemes which are endless!

    Not trying to be a troll but your model is very similar to this version which has been for sale for over a year now. Is this what you used to make your version? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Star-Wars-UCS-Hammerhead-Corvette-INSTRUCTIONS-ONLY-Collectors-Edition-MOC/182776860292?hash=item2a8e598e84%3Ag%3ADXAAAOSw409ZwXRy&_sacat=0&_nkw=hammerhead+corvette&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xhammerhead+corvette.TRS0.TSS0 I used the plans and built a squadron for my fleet: DSC02092 by Scott Roys, on Flickr

    It's the same stand as the UCS Y-Wing, set #10134.

    Here is some good news for the crowd. Looks like then new Harry Potter set #75952 (Newts Case of Magical Creatures) will re-introduce a part that we have all been wanting: Part # 48336, reddish-brown plate with handle on the side! Yes, we can finally build the PS-1 box-cars in a very prototype color and not break the bank! Here is a shot of the set with the suspected parts circled in red. One could assume that the set has at least 4 in it. I wish I could say that I was the eagle-eye that spotted it, but Cale Leiphart noted it in a Facebook post and I thought that ya'll might like to know.

    Any plans to do the TIE Brute from the Solo movie? Or just include it as an option with the regular TIE?
  12. ecmo47
    ......and 6 to 8 weeks delivery time! Good to know that though....
  13. ecmo47
    I'm not the best one to ask that question as I had a bunch of parts, ordered a bunch of parts and built in multiples. Some where, Jerac posted info on the basic cost of parts. The regular TIE should only run about $100, I think. The bomber is the most expensive as it has the highest part count. I will give you one warning, though. Since these plans have hit the market, the price of Part number 88293 (Light Bluish Grey, Round Corner 3x3x2 Dome top) has become a little scare and expensive. You need eight per ship (expect the bomber).

    I have really enjoyed building these model. I should have taken better notes on the builds but overall, the plans have been very clear. I did assemble all the hinges before putting together various sub-assemblies. The bomber is the most difficult build with the way the ends of the tubes narrow down to match the 6x6 dishes on each end. I've got a couple of Interceptors to go to finish out what I want to build for display and am working on some stands. Anybody out there have a good design?

    All the info you need is in the first page of this post. Just send him an email.

    Oh, no! Another Star Wars MOC with those hard-to-find screw drivers! They do make great guns though, don't they! That's a super model and will be a great addition to the 1/250th scale fleet.

    Here's a link to one of the more accomplished steam engine builders and seller of instructions: https://store.bricklink.com/AggieSava?p=AggieSava#/shop?o={"showHomeItems":0} The Brick Model Railroader guys have a stream locomotive in the works which we will hopefully see this year. Here's a link to the Lego set 10194 Emerald Night instructions that show how they geared their engine. https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4611661.pdf The seconds book shows how the Motor and IR receiver were installed: https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4581168.pdf Here's a link to mods that we have made to the EN running gear to improve performance. https://forum.brickset.com/discussion/15407/emerald-night-10194-running-gear-improvements#latest Hope this helps!

    How cool is that! Any shots of how you built the open door since that is a pretty significant departure from the BMR plan?
  19. ecmo47
    I don't see why you couldn't just chop off a short piece of 3mm rigid hose and use it in that spot. It's not seen and so as long as it holds the robot arms (which it will just fine) it will not matter. Just depends on how much of a purist you are. (Oops, as the master says!)

    I'm about to place an order for the TIE Collection as I have been looking for something to build and am not the best at designing things. Thanks for sharing!

    @pharmjod: Did you just make it over here from Brickset? Anyway, you need to have 10 post I believe before you can PM.

    Because there is nothing "simple" about doing that. Loads more pieces plus you would have to use a ton of regular plates which are thicker then the base plates. Why use tons of parts and time on something you never see? You don't build your train table out of Lego just to be a "purist". great layout, is this the back of the city? because it's strange to have the highest part in front. No it's just another street and this ones is behind the train yard. I elevated it so that you could see the buildings and street scenes above all the trains, especially the kids. Here's a better view:

    I succumbed to cutting base plates to make this street ramp work properly. On the level areas, the base plate just slips under the modular as much as needed but going up hill that wasn't an options. I cut the baseplates to the road width of 21 studs on my table saw. I would put the baseplate directly on the table saw, then cover it with a scrape piece of plywood and cut both at the same time. This would prevent the flimsy plastic from flopping around and making a bad cut.

    Very nice model and love the detailed presentation! So what's next? Are you going to submit to Lego Ideas? Will the plans be offered to the public? I'm sure that a model this nice would sell plenty copies of instructions.

    Great to hear you chime in!
