    Wow, those pictures of the Aggressor next to Mirko's U-Wing are instructive. That U-wing is beautiful but a bear to display; it gives you an idea of how big the Aggressor is!

    Looks great! Can't wait to build Red 5. The X-wing was the first SW ship I built in Lego back in the '90s using mostly Blacktron parts; I'm loving what Jerac's obsessiveness and attention to detail (and our modern parts library) bring to this version.

    Been following this one; great size and scale and incredible construction. Can't wait for SD instructions (along with instructions or similar for your Venator and First Order SD!)
  4. TemjinStrife
    That's great!
  5. TemjinStrife
    Looks great! Do you have, and/or are you willing to share, an LDD/Stud.io file?
  6. TemjinStrife
    Right, but his point was that because they are in production, you can get them through Bricks and Pieces (where they are both cheaper and more available than through Bricklink).

    Wow, this looks great!
  8. TemjinStrife
    Nice! Very interested to see how it translates to real bricks!

    B.

    That looks great! Whenever you settle on a final version, I would very much like to build it.

    My guess is it will be easier in the Advance, since there are no cheese slopes in between the hinges that force you to try to push it together at an angle. The T/A looks like you can do it straight in; the Bomber forces you to try to apply enough pressure to put the hinges together at an angle.

    The TIEs are great, although I would check to make sure the first wave (Interceptor and standard) parts list include printed parts (control panels were not listed as such in the original parts list). The Jerac instructions are great too. The Inthert N-1 is gorgeous, but the parts list was an absolute mess, with wrong parts, missing parts, wrong colors, and wrong amounts. The instructions are serviceable, but you will have to manually mirror sections (wings, side panels) and I had to rebuild the engines a few times before I finally got them right, as there are a bunch of parts per step and rotations that make it very confusing. So, hopefully they will be much more detail-oriented in the future. The models are great, the instructions are mostly good, but the parts lists have been the weakness--and given that they're selling premium instructions and trying to show builders' creations in the best possible light, I expect much better.

    For feedback, what I would say about the TIE Bomber (not sure if it's similar here, haven't built it yet) is that attaching the top and bottom parts of the panels via hinge brick is difficult as described as there's not a whole lot of ways to get enough leverage to pop that many sets of hinges together at once. I found it easier (though still somewhat challenging) to put the hinge bricks together first, and then put the top and bottom panels on the hinge bricks, and just make sure they all line up.

    The proliferation of Jerac TIEs means those dome pieces and the hinge bricks are starting to get harder to find on BrickLink :D
  15. TemjinStrife
    Yeah, the "head" space for the pilot is 2 studs wide, and a number of TIE helmets are too wide. The Bomber has more space.
  16. TemjinStrife
    I prefer Inthert's Y-Wing head to Brickwright's, and he has instructions up on his Flickr.
  17. TemjinStrife
    +1 to this, especially the ISD MkIII and Tantive IV.
  18. TemjinStrife
    Nice! Any plans for instructions/LDD/other means to recreate?
  19. TemjinStrife
    I believe I am 21, but I will check when I have access tomorrow. EDIT: Yes, 21.
  20. TemjinStrife
    Could you do a Chopper-style head with some Technic wheels?
  21. TemjinStrife
    Amazing work!
  22. TemjinStrife
    To be fair, if they didn't have that, they could get sued by people who upload to their online functionality.
  23. TemjinStrife
    It's definitely got stability problems at times! Re: license, is that just for things you actually upload to Bricklink, or is it everything you build with stud.io even if you don't upload to BL?
  24. TemjinStrife
    There are a few other substitutions that can be made cheaper. For example, the 1x1 modified tile with vertical clips are much cheaper as the "rounded edges" version; similarly, the versions of 1x1 modified plates with clips (vertical and horizontal) with "Thick Open O" are often much cheaper than Thick U or other variants. (this is why it is sometimes helpful to build in stud.io, as it can pull Bricklink average pricing for parts).

    Wow, that's almost UCS numbers in a minifig scale model!
