    Thanks! That greebling took a LOT of effort :) the tie tie is scaled at the size of the old kit one, it was close enough to me, I may scratch build for the next time I show it, in reality, by the time the trench was done, my effort into the ships was sacrificed some for sleep :)

    Thanks. I emailed someone on Monday but don't know if it was the right one, that's something I would love to do seeing as it's in Orlando which is fairly close.

    No worries! Actually it's built to be snug- I tend to build these big things so that they give off a certain feeling. I wanted people who came and looked at it to have the feel of tightness and to feel like they were experiencing the flight down the trench by themselves. They would not have got that from a midi scale or larger trench. A taller trench would not have made for easy viewing easy (let alone another 20k parts :) ) I debated on the big ship versus little ship quite hard and ending up increasing the length and width to fit the two ties comfortably side by side. Also I like to think that the fighters are mere decoration for the trench :). I may build some midis scale ships and see how it looks, I built the wings for ties but stopped there. Might be attending brickworld Chicago and possibly BFVA: not certain it will make it to either, but if it does it will probably have some growth to it. cheers!?

    Thanks. Freehand. There were some general shapes I wanted to recreate- I thought a build like this I could get away with my creative design ;)

    Very nice on the eye. Well done

    Cheers. Thanks for recognizing that, I try not to do big just for the sake of it being big and it was hard to achieve that with this build. The front side view I did not detail as much purposeful as I wanted you to be drawn to look inside to the trench for even more detail :) it it is currently packed in boxes and working its way to my closet. I am trying to decide if I will take it to any other shows this year.

    Yeah that was the age I started with my son. He viewed at 7 and said the same thing. This was our 3rd year. Cheers

    Thank you. I was pleased with the X-wing. I had seen so many great builds here and didn't want to just copy someone elses, so I used the structure of the kit and just did what I could. Thank you. I really have no clue, I found a post on instagram where I had just started, that was Feb 17th 2016. It was one I just built as I could when I can across more gray tiles. I hit the home stretch when my lugbulk order came in in December and had a few solid nights working on it. Thanks, hope you had fun at the show, did you display anything? We are so lucky to have such a great event all the way down in Alabama. Cheers mate- time spent, I have no idea quite frankly, it was something I worked in in between other builds last year, kinda like a book I would pick up and then put down for a while, do some honey-do jobs then read a few pages ;)

    I don't even know what that is..sorry :)

    Thanks. Yeah it took forever, it's not easy for me to focus on things for long periods of time, so this drive me nuts :) Thanks, yes I had done it with a lot less greebling and it looked half complete, so I had to finish it up. Cheers :)

    Here are some pics from one of my latest S.W projects. This is 8ft long and a labor of love. I have heavily modded/rebuilt the old x-wing, my Vader's Tie has the front canopy of the most recent one and the wing shape of the old one. I pretty much rebuilt the wings and rear section. The Tie's are just kit, I wanted to build my own or mod them, but after all this building, I frankly could not be bothered. Its built in 16x32 stud sections so can be transported easily, it is also lightweight and the walls fold down flat-ish. A few more pics are on my Flickr. I hope you enjoy. May the Force be with you.

    Just saw this listed as a moc for BrickFair Alabama, can't wait to see it in person

    The cockpit needs to be wider- to fit two pilots, then the ship needs to be built from that. What could be used for the cockpit that wide? The Lego set is a lovely build though.
  14. Bricksnaps
    Perfect. And perfect color. I now want one.
  15. Bricksnaps
    Is that 1x2 plate pink or the lighter lavender color? Thanks
  16. Bricksnaps
    So enjoyable to look at and read. A simply magnificent piece of work. Fantastic effort and execution and thanks for sharing so many images. Cheers

    Are you talking as a visitor during public hours or as an Afol?
  18. Bricksnaps
    I like it, it has great details and play features
  19. Bricksnaps
    Have there been pictures released yet?

    Pleased to see another Ice castle, the other was a little disappointing. I wonder how close it will be to my one I built last Feb and tried to submit to Lego ideas 3 times and was rejected each time? :)

    Trial and error, with it being so large each stand and tower was built with a bit of an angle to it, which varied for each one, I was pleased with the end result. That was maybe the hardest part.
  22. Bricksnaps
    Thank you!
  23. Bricksnaps
    Thanks so much for these, much appreciated, I know so much time went into them and I appreciate your hard work, cheers!

    Great images but looks great in person too. It's actually prompted me to consider an entire Diagon Alley moc- we shall see. If so, this will be the standard of build I will hold myself too.

    Hey man I actually had them custom made by Eclipse Graphics and will be photographing with them soon. The ones in the pics were fairly crude stickers so I'm glad to get some more solid figs.
