    Beautiful scene!

    Also build a Hammerhead Corvette as reinforcement for my mortesv fleet. Based on Jorsad-design with a few modifications to change the colours. I didn´t like the orange, i felt it was not dirty enough for the rebel scum :)

    Planning to build this MOC, are there any extremely rare parts?

    Hello, i started building around 20th of december after ages of sorting the parts. ATM i´m working on book 6. Design and functions are great. Some clever mounting ideas C O N G R A T S! Instructions are also very good and 99% of the parts are clearly visible. The stability of the model ist also great especially the mounting of the panels is top notch! I moved the ISD alot after mounting the bottom panels while building Book 4 and 5. After a few movings the area directly above the rear stand seemed to be unstable. The LBG 1x3 plate wedge and the DBG 1x8 plate wedge tends to get losen. My solution for this wasn´t very clever but the area was stable after it. I added a few 2654 plates, there was enough space between panel and frame. I have marked the positions on the picture.

    For the best result you need to check lot by lot. Often very common parts are overpriced at BL. But i made the same observation as @Kristof, if you have a "smaller" model (~800parts) easy-buy may give also good results. I have dual screen system at home - as soon as i open the wanted list the other screen is at bricks n pieces to compare the prices. If a shop asks consistenly for the double of the "bricks n pieces" price per part i tag it as least favorite.

    It just changes the ranking for the "Buy All" option, but there is no impact on the "Easy Buy" option unfortunately. After 4days, i finally made it through my stockpile. I dissembled the UCS Venator and got ~3500pieces. 6144 Parts missing, i don´t build the droids and the tie fighters (yet). Started ordering today. 2823 parts to go, mostly parts which are in general cheaper at "bricks n pieces" than on BL, like tiles and small plates.

    Agree, and auto-buy also ignores the "Max. Price" setting.
  8. Midlife-crisis
    Perfect, thank you!

    just bought the instructions, and did a fast scroll through them but could not find part: 50950 58pieces. is it possible to use 24309 as substitute for a few of them?

    3. 3710 Transclear is used as windowglass for the bridge. But as far as i remember you could also use 2x 3023plates which are quite common.

    I like the minifigs and the design, but overall way too much visible studs on the floors.
  12. Midlife-crisis
    A non Lego support would be more sturdy (depending on what you want to put up there) and most likely cheaper.
  13. Midlife-crisis
    Some reinforcements joined the battle scene The newest ones are GR-75 and my own creation a IGV-55 Gozanti class surveillance light cruiser (Star Wars Rebels) Will pause this project for the meantime, as i have plenty of work outside. Looking forward to your new creation @mortesv! Yes, i also find my LAN cable is looking disturbing below the Star Destroyer.
  14. Midlife-crisis
    Nice Mods!
  15. Midlife-crisis
    thanks, there will be a background, but i think it will be just a nebula or something, a star destroyer will look cool for sure, but that might look very overloaded in my small area. just my personal note for this build, there where never a 1:250 scale before - even if the imperial fleet is like new, i think there are some small areas with dirt or rust. @ecmo47 would like to see the hull plated with tiles, i think this would look very cool - it´s just a great area. Sure, there will be a release of the LDD, but this won´t be a perfect moc, and i´m not sure if i can do the whole greebling in LDD. But i´ll try.
  16. Midlife-crisis
    I´m very tempted and will probably build it next winter. Bob, it would safe me a lot of work if you have a LDD File of the different building groups. As it is a pain in the a** to work with such a big LDD file like yours on my PC. best regards and congrats on this moc.

    Almost finished, still waiting for a few parts ordered Bricks & pieces 4weeks ago, for a 2nd GR-75 Transport looks like they are really busy. Definitely running out of space. Finised the LED for the scene this evening, will make a better shot with natural light in the next days.
  18. Midlife-crisis
    Thank you! Checked the list - which color for 16pieces part: 3622 ?
  19. Midlife-crisis
    Instructions are good and easy.
  20. Midlife-crisis
    for part 30603 read the post above yours. I substituted 91049 with part: 42610. it does include the trans clear version. But i suggest to read the full topic.
  21. Midlife-crisis
    I really like the X-Wing design!
  22. Midlife-crisis
    I´m not really a fan of the T-70, but your design is super hot - the anterior-posterior view is excellent and the air intakes are breathtaking.
  23. Midlife-crisis
    Just saw, the Falcon is available @Lego-shop.com

    A free market true, unfortunately the places where they "try to screw you" are more frequently in the last months. At least here in europe. If they overdo it, this could be dangerous for the whole bricklink platform.
  25. Midlife-crisis
    Thank you @EKae and @krisandkris12 for the tough barge! i made a tiny mod in the front using a 2x2 wedge plate instead of a 2x3. finally the parts arrived. Still waiting for a few parts to complete my 2nd Corvette.
