StarBricks

While I admire certain creations from other brands (such as Cada's Mercedes GT3 AMG), I'm a conservative and chose option 1. My personal opinion is that the forum is reserved exclusively for original LEGO sets and MOCs made with original LEGO bricks. Regardless of your choice, I will continue to follow the forum and focus only on discussions regarding original LEGO.

Congratulations! Very attractive design and excellent choice of colors.

The most beautiful and relaxing part of designing and building is studying every tiny detail and finding the most appropriate solution to recreate it while respecting its design and proportions. It's a constant and fun challenge.

Yes, I agree! I also have to say that Rogue One is a film that offers a lot of ideas and has a really beautiful overall design, in line with the original trilogy. I love this film!!

Thanks Daiman! Actually, the initial idea was to build the entire tank (smaller, obviously), but while doing some research online, I came across some images of the Tank Driver emerging from the hatch, and it struck me as an iconic scene. I also discovered that the design of this tank was inspired by a real British half-track. To create the hatch details, I carefully studied images of real armored vehicles.

Like every year, on February 7th, I am proud to present my latest work. IN DEFENSE OF THE LAST CRYSTAL TD-Project SB01001 This time, I drew inspiration from the Tank Driver, at the controls of the TX-225w assault tank, tasked with transporting Kyber Crystals on Jedha. The MOC is built with 4,349 bricks and depicts the upper torso of the Tank Driver emerging from the vehicle’s top hatch. The helmet’s distinctive shape and the soldier’s color scheme immediately captured my attention, becoming the core of the entire project. The assault tank itself, with its unmistakable design, also sparked my curiosity. While designing the hatch, I discovered that its concept was inspired by the legendary British armored vehicle Alvis Stormer, a detail that further enriched the creative process.

Hi ufcpride, I'm working hard on the manual and it's almost finished. I'm also working on adding a special alternate version that will improve the final look.

Spectacular! Great idea and great execution! Congratulations!!

A thousand thanks!

Thank you so much! I hope the building experience was fun and relaxing. Let's just say there will be a lot of white in the next manual... ;-)

Hello everyone! Like every year, February 7th has arrived! I feel a year older but I'm excited to present my latest LEGO® Star Wars® themed MOC: Z-Project! After making the TR-Project (Treadspeeder) and the AR-Project (AT-RT), I felt it was the right time to pay homage to one of the most iconic vehicles in the saga: the Speederbike. In 1983, when Star Wars® – Return of the Jedi came out, seeing these flying bikes speeding through the dense forest of Endor was simply incredible. With Z-Project, I tried to capture that emotion. This MOC is made up of approximately 4500 pieces and includes 3 minifigures. It is designed and built with mixed techniques that guarantee both solidity and modularity. In addition to the brown version, with the Scout Trooper on board, I wanted to add two white variants inspired by the series The Mandalorian®: one driven by the droid IG-11 and the other by a Scout Trooper. Both versions depict the scenes in which Grogu is transported at full speed in a cloth bag... a truly epic moment! There will therefore be three versions and the idea is to create a single instruction manual that allows you to build them all... "three-in-one" precisely!! The dimensions of the MOCs are perfectly in scale with the TR-Project and the AR-Project, measuring approximately 73 cm in length, 30 cm in width and a height that varies from 30 to 40 cm depending on the version. Thank you all for viewing my latest work and I hope you like it. May the Force be with you! Mirko Soppelsa – StarBricks

Hi William great job! The thing that makes me most proud of your review is that at a certain point you say verbatim: "In the whole 256 pages, I didn't find a single error" Thank you! This makes me proud of the work I have done. As for finding parts, which can sometimes be frustrating on Bricklink, I have to say that with the latest projects I have further refined the selection of parts. For the AR-Project, for example, 99.7% of the parts can be purchased directly on the Pick a Brick service on the LEGO website. Thanks again for your nice review

Compliments! Spectacular and in perfect scale with the Mustang!

I'm happy to hear these words. Each of my works is the result of an emotion I felt while watching films and each one has a different emotion. In the specific case of the AS-Project I wanted to immortalize that moment that has remained imprinted in my mind since 1977. I remember that as a child I wondered what they carried in those backpacks that they carried on their shoulders. And I was very curious about the orange shoulder strap.. With this work I decided to change direction: instead of making the MOC articulated as in the case of the K-Project and partly of the SH-Project (arms, torso and head moving), I decided to focus more on the "dynamism" of the pose . In my opinion, this gives the MOC a soul and makes it "alive". I don't know if I managed to convey this feeling, but when I look at it I think this.

Hi KevinMD thanks for the compliments. In fact I have more fun modeling human bodies to which I can give particular postures... I feel like I'm giving them a soul Hi Fuchs, thank you very much for the good wishes.
