What a nice little Bounty Hunter Gunship you made there Legostein! Indeed way better than TLG's version. I like it.
-
I like this 'SilvaShado'! I see you've put some nice detail in this built, such as the frozen alien, the cannon and the space lab (I assume that's what it is, with the large blue windows). Good job!
-
Nice indeed 'RussianBear'! I really have the feeling it's a real spider, I like that.

After I 'mocced' a bunch of Star Wars vehicles, I thought it was time for something different. And here it is, an abandoned military base. 2026. Nevada. Intel report from the last survivor of the east military base. Time - 02:34 ''This is the last message I will send, I have to leave as soon as possible. I know what happened 3 miles south from here, our outpost there was crawled by those crazy mutants, I don't think anyone survived. If I wasn't sitting on the toilet all day with a bunch of comics, I wouldn't have missed the damn helicopter. I have to leave by myself now, the mutants will be here within an hour or so. I'll plant some C5 explosives on the kerosene tank, when I'm miles away from here, they won't know what hit 'em. Ha! Unfortunately, I can't take my good ol' 50mm grenade launcher with me; basterds won't stand a change against me and my baby! I will end this message now, I have the feeling I'm already being watched...'' He didn't know he would never leave his base again.

A nice job you did there 'Masked Builder'. I like the use of the crates so as the suitcases.
-
What a lovely nose you made there 'hardcowory', very impressive.
-
I already mentioned this on MOCpages Brickdoctor; you just surpassed yourself! An absolutely lovely representation of one of the most epic OT vehciles there is. Although the legs are probably the best part, I don't think the hull is less fantastic, especially the back of this thing is stunning. Well done on this!

I had the same thoughts. This bricklink folder includes an amazing Acclamator, the builder has also used those 4x8 wedge plates. Next month I will probably place a new Bricklink order and then also get my hands on a bunch of those wedge plates. Can you read my thoughts KielDaMan? Because weeks before I made the first Acclamator, I promised myself to make an UCS Acclamator one day. But, that won't happen this year I guess. Why? Well, I have to improve my skills a lot first before I dare to start such a huge build, neither I have the parts. I'm also not skilled enough on how to connect the upper and under hull plates to the frame, I was thinking about using magnets, just like in the UCS Star Destroyer. I don't know if there are any tutorials or tips & tricks can be bound on the web regarding those large wedge plate constructions. Thanks 'Praiter Yed'! I know I probably deconstruct my MOC's earlier than most of the folks here, but the point is, ALL my lego is stationed at my grandparents' house. I'm here for a couple of weeks now, so I have to take my change on building a load of MOC's right?

Darn, you're only 30 minutes too late... I just broke it down, sorry. I made a 1-plate high frame, but no really special building technices or so. Everything was just connected with a bunch of hinges.
-
Thanks 'Masked Builder'! And if you want to build a Midi-scale ship yourself now, what are you waiting for?
-
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Such an amount of details and those dancers are amazing, EXTREMELY well done Matija Grguric! :thumbup:
-
Thanks Brickdoctor (and others)! The thing what I find is hard when building an Acclamator, is the angle which those plates have to make. I don't know exactly how to explain this in English, but the angle of those wedge plates is not sharp(?) enough to catch the shape of the Acclamator. The versions I made are both too pointed, if you know what I mean. Oh well, I'll try to explain myself with a picture I made quick with paint: The upper one has about the shape the ship has now and next to it the very basis way to make the angle. But I could also try to use a 3x12 wedge plate to make the right angle for the Acclamator, as seen in the bottom painting, and you automatically create the space in the shape of a triangel in the middle just like the real Acclamator has. This technique would make it look like far more realistic I guess.
-
I googled this too and it looks very realistic compared to the official toy, I like the cannon and all the minifigs spread out over this build, well done!
-
I had to take the old one apart, because I had to use all my 3x6 wedge plates for this built. I'm still not satisfied with this version, so I will make a third version in a couple of months I guess. Thanks.
-
As promised I would build a second (and better) version of the midi-scale Acclamator Star Destroyer. I hope you guys like it.

Jurassic Park---Tyrannosaurus rex's attack
Hollander replied to benny's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
What a lovely scene, especially it's main build, the T-rex. I have to agree with Stormbringer, the studs make the dinosaur even look better. Really, really nice! -
What a nice MOC hardcorewy! I like the back of the Z-95 the most, very impressive.
-
The proportions seem all correct to me. I love the SNOT, the features and the overall shape, very well done! The only critique I would have is already mentioned before: the details. Oh, and another detail, I would add more dark red around the cockpit, I think that's accurater.
-
And another nice vignette! The crab droid and the piece of junk are both good work. Well done.
-
A nice MOC indeed, good job mobricki. The only thing I would suggest is to add some more plants and/or flowers around the church, it would make the feeling of a church near the jungles of South-America stronger. But that's just a detail.
-
Nice indeed. But how did you do the triple-gun at his left arm?
-
A well done job you did there. I really like the overall shape, but I would suggest to not use yellow or other colors as used for the landing pad, it would make the look better. Except from that, very nice build.

[MOC] Republic Acclamator I-class assault ship
Hollander replied to Hollander's topic in LEGO Star Wars
This version was far from perfect, but I just couldn't bring op the motivation to break it down and start all over again. The next time I should make sure the hull plates cover the sidepanels. As I already mentioned, I just received the Bricklink order including a lot of wedge plates, so If I would do a remake in the next weeks, it will probably be a couple of studs wider and longer too. About the frame, the one used in this Acclamator was only one brick high, so that won't be a big issue. But I want to MOC a Corporate Alliance tank droid first now, so the Acclamator has to wait. -
[MOC] Republic Acclamator I-class assault ship
Hollander replied to Hollander's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Thanks for the constructive criticism all. I wasn't really satisfied with this ship, to be honest. As already mentioned, the gaps between the hull, the bottom and the sides which are too high make this MOC not look finished at all. But hey, that's what I will improve the next time. By the way, my collection of wedge plates is pretty small, I only have four of those wedge plates (2x4) used for the hull and only one pair of 2x3 wedge plates, but I received the Bricklink order today so the next Acclamator will certainly be better. -
The Acclamator, probably my favorite Star Destroyer, has finally become more than just a imagination. I already promised to make this ship in the topic of my previous MOC, so here it is! As quoted from Wookieepedia: ''The Acclamator I-class assault ship, also known as the Republic assault ship, Acclamator I-class Star Destroyer, or Acclamator I-class medium frigate, was a starship created for the Galactic Republic by Rothana Heavy Engineering. It was the predecessor of the Star Destroyer line.'' The front of the ship... ...and the back. The bridge. Close-up shot of the back. The bottom of the ship.
