This is easily one of the best-looking replica models to date, and it's not even Technic.

The original idea was far better than the actual finished product. Bit of a shame to see it reduced to an utterly basic and boring build, really.

Overall, I just think it looks weak and pathetic. The design is rubbish (especially the shoulders, and legs), and if it wasn't for the colours and decals, it looks nothing like the Hulkbuster.

I would love to have a go at building that in LDD, for sure. It's outstanding quality and a real looker.

LDD's collisions were making it tricky to get them all flush with one another, and after a while I decided to just quit rather than become more annoyed. Not sure how other people did it, but looking at the sets that have been made, it's possible at least.

It was the body plates that I got frustrated with, so you've got a way to go just yet. They're always a pain on every Millennium Falcon in LDD. But others have made it before me, so it can be done. I just have a short fuse with these things lol. Keep at it, and you can do it. Best of luck.

Also bear in mind, that there will be many parts of the instructions that you will simply not be able to do, due to illegal connections. I have already tried to make this in LDD (I got about 3/4 of the way through before giving up), and it's not an easy build. Especially for LDD, considering the lack of up-to-date parts and methods they've used to create the real-life model.

Awesome. Thank you for the suggestions, guys! It's greatly appreciated. I'll be gearing-up for some hardcore building soon. It's been a while, and I'm feeling the urge to do something other than smaller official sets. Technic ones can be a little bit of a pain in LDD at times, but even just doing the steps up until the point where you can't continue is still fun for me. LEGO is so therapeutic, even when it goes wrong lol.

Those are outstanding. Way above my pay grade I think, but I'll still keep a hold of them if ever there is a time I'm feeling more than adventurous lol. Thank you! Don't worry, I know about LDD and limitations. I've managed to get some custom builds to around 26,000 bricks before it started to get a bit of a hassle. That was on my old laptop, and now I have a dedicated gaming tower, so performance-wise I should be okay. The only issue that should occur is with LDD itself not being able to handle it. If you're interested, this is what I was building that required so many bricks: Wasn't even a quarter of the way through what I had planned. It would have never been finished lol.

Oh, wow. That is an impressive beast of a build. Will take some getting used to not having LEGO instructions, but that is far too amazing to not try out. Many thanks, friend!

LDD. Figured I would ask, as who knows their MOCs better than the builders themselves.

I'm getting a little bored of the official sets, and was wondering if people had any suggestions for free MOCs, that were doable in LDD, please? Preferably ones without lots of "plate" jiggery-pokery, such as with the official Millennium Falcon body and so on. I don't mind a little bit of hard work, and there is no limit to size. I sometimes build my own projects, but haven't been able to concentrate recently (due to a new relationship lol). Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, yeah that's true actually. Not firing on all cylinders today, it seems lol.

In LDD, you can also select the pieces you want to group and press Ctrl-G instead of messing around with the UI. Much faster.

Wow, this is truly amazing. The whole scene is simply perfect. I would give my first-born to own this as proper set. Good work, bub.

Wow, that is truly amazing.

I tried Stud.io a few times, but having used LDD for many years, it's a real hassle to use and make an easy transition to. I don't really like the parts layout or the GUI in general for Stud.io. I'm in the same boat, swijak. It's rare that I need to actively search for a part nowadays. Mainly ones that are rarely used in certain sets, or when I'm just being a little blind and can't find an easy piece lol. I've heard good things about Stud.io, but considering I have "sessions" with LDD, rather than continuous building, it's not imperative that I make the change.

Thank you, swijak. It's very close, I might be able to modify the rest of the model somewhat, to make it fit. Bloody LDD. It's frustrating how often you come across parts that are missing. But it's so easy to use.

Does anybody have an alternative method of creating this part (or one that has the same function), seeing as it doesn't exist in LDD, please? This is the part in question: https://brickset.com/parts/4227853/lt-wheel-bearing-w-3-snaps I'm currently just messing around, building the Ferrari F1 from the Racers set. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

LDD can be quite taxing on your computer, if it doesn't have sufficient specs. To put this into perspective, I have an expensive, water-cooled gaming tower, and the bricks still take a while to load occasionally. It's mainly the program itself. LDD is essentially a toy for kids, not for hardcore builders, so it's optimisation is nowhere near that of a "proper" CAD program. Hopefully the suggestions above will help.

On the previous page of this topic, I posted a link to one of my MediaFire folders which contains both the PC and Mac versions of the LDD installer, if you are having issues with the official page.

Can't seem to duplicate the fine move anymore. Have they patched it out or something?

Ah, okay. That makes more sense for them to be reliable. Well I'll leave them where they are, for the time being and if I happen to notice any issues, I'll definitely consider making the switch. Most "lost" files tend to be users removing files themselves, the files are against the ToS (i.e. illegal copies of things, or indecent material), or simply users cancelling accounts. I've had this MediaFire account for a few years now and never deleted anything I've posted for forum use. In fact, I don't think I've ever removed a single file from there at all (should see what I have there, to be honest lol). But you never know with these things. Still, at least there are two alternatives, so thank you for those. I've bookmarked them, should the need arise. So should this be somewhere else, or not? I'm still none the wiser, with what you've said.

Thank you, but I'd rather not sign up to even more sites, I'm afraid. I already have far too many things that I rarely use (such as this site lol) and all of those have access to my personal details, such as e-mail and so on. With how much spam I receive on a weekly basis, I'd prefer not to exacerbate the situation further by passing more details out to sites I don't know or trust. My block filter list is getting rather full. Affordable? I'm not looking to spend money on hosting either, with the two perfectly-capable free and useful sites I currently use. Hope you understand my reasoning. I did look but it was just simpler to post a separate topic in the LDD general page. Feel free to remove this if it's violating any rules or such (if you have the authority).

You're welcome. Might tackle the faces today. I'll just add them here, instead of clutter the place up with multiple topics.
