[MOC] Minifig Scale Mandalorian Kom'rk Class Gauntlet Fighter
IcarusBuilds replied to IcarusBuilds's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Thank you for the high praise! I was struggling with the cockpit for quite a while, but once I found the jet cockpit I knew I needed to make it work. Thanks! It is minifig scale, but specifically to the one seen in The Mandalorian season 2 & 3, which is much smaller than the ones from any of the animated series. -
I stated this project back in early 2023 in conjunction with BrickVault. It proved to be a much more challenging build than I had anticipated as the original finish goal was 2024. My first hurdle was the lack of official references for this ship, I ended up CADing out the entire thing from scratch using whatever screenshots and info I could find. While doing this I learned that even this version of the ship had multiple variants, as the one used by Bo-Katan in season 3 differs from the one used by the other Mandalorians & the one shown in season 2. The next challenge was obviously the wings and the rotation mechanism, it was a nightmare for sure, and after an almost 6 month burnout, I finally figured it out. The rest of the build after that point went relatively smoothly? Either way, I got there in the end. This build consists of 7329pcs, landed it measures in at 89 studs (71.2cm) tall, 90 studs (72cm) wide & 81 studs (64.8cm) long. In flight on the stand it measures 78.75 studs (63cm) tall, 92.5 studs (74cm) long & 50 studs (40cm) deep. In other words, it's big. Off of the stand the lower hatches can open and the seating rack can be removed, it can fit 10 Mandalorians with jetpacks. It also features a full cockpit that can seat 2 Mandalorians and can have a third standing. Photos courtesy of BrickVault.

Thank you! I actually finished it! Last year... I just need to take some good photos of it and then I'll update here and on my Flickr. It's too big to actually display at home, but I have taken it to a couple local conventions.
-
From the original 11,259pcs before I started building, I am now up to 12,500 from all the internal redesigning and structural reinforcements I've had to do so far.

I've tested the main wing with the cannon, it should be able to support itself, the swing-wing however will most likely need some help.

Update# 7 It's been quite a while since I've shown any progress for this beast, but here we go! Not finished yet, but probably about 90% there. Now that this thing is fully plated it looks even bigger then it did before, might just be my imagination though. Anyways, here are the update photos: Enjoy!

Update# 6.5 Just wanted to give a brief update on this project for those who are curious. Progress has come to a bit of a standstill for the moment as since my last update I got reno-victed, moved to a new place where the Twilight took some damage while loading into the elevator, then once finally getting settled in and repairing that, one of my cats knocked over a large light that came crashing down on top of the Twilight. Needless to say there has been a bit of reverse progress, while at this point I have most of it back to where it was, I think some things may have come apart on the inside where I can't reach. So I may have to go backwards before I can continue forwards. All-in-all, updates may be slow for a little while, but thank you for all the kind words on this project so far!

[MOC] Minifig Scale Clone Wars AV-7 Antivehicle Cannon
IcarusBuilds posted a topic in LEGO Star Wars
Hey everyone, I bring to you today the AV-7 Antivehicle Cannon. I started working on this to compliment my J-1 a few months back. It was an interesting build, but required a lot less troubleshooting to physically build than the J-1 did. Front and side view Back view I am also happy to say that you can build your own as I have partnered with BrickVault on this one as well. You can find instructions here: https://www.brickvault.toys/products/av-7-anti-vehicle-cannon-minifig-scale Photos courtesy of BrickVault -
Progress Update #6 Been making some good progress on this lately, still waiting on more parts orders, but it's getting there. The engine side is coming together quite well, the ship is also at full length now. A look in at the cargo bay, with my Delta-7B sitting inside. How the wing side is coming along. More of a top view to show the full size of this monster. More to come as pieces arrive.

Progress Update #5 The completed dual blaster cannon. The start of putting things together. Start of the main engine build. Adding the start of the outer plating. More to come soon, been making some good progress lately.

[MOC] Minifig Scale Clone Wars J-1 Proton Cannon
IcarusBuilds replied to IcarusBuilds's topic in LEGO Star Wars
My J-1 Proton Cannon in conjunction with BrickVault. It took a fair bit of back and forth to get it super sturdy, but here is the result. Instructions are available here: https://www.brickvault.toys/products/j-1-proton-cannon-minifig-scale Photos courtesy of BrickVault. -
Progress update #4 I know it's been a while but some of my parts orders finally came in after 3 months of waiting. So here's what I've done. Boarding area with access to elevator & the beginning of structural build over top of boarding area. The boarding area from below & some additional internal structure build. The cockpit from the front & from the back. Start of the swing-wing. Landing gear retracted & deployed. (Honestly how these tiny things are supposed to hold up such a massive ship, I do not know.) I do not have instructions for this on Rebrickable, nor am I currently planning to make any. This has been a bit of a passion project for me, so for now I'm going to keep it to myself. Additionally this thing would be a nightmare to make instructions for.

Progress update #3 Left side front with indent for main intake & right side front panels. Main boarding ramp & Bottom front section. The white piece is temporary. Missing x2 49668's to fill the gaps. Main engine intake. Rear door. The black plate is only temporary. Start of the main build, boarding level with access to elevator.
