Oh, wow! Do you have any plans to build this in real bricks? I think it'd be most impressive

Do the treads actually work or are they just aesthetic? From the pictures posted, I can't make out any technic gears or mechanisms, so I was curious as to if there were some in the "tail" of the tank. Regardless of function, you've built quite a remarkable vehicle, and I especially like the usage of the 1x1 clips on the flex tubing.

Often times when I see well detailed mocs and see their piece counts, I am very impressed, and it often shows where those parts went, but also a bit amused as I see people using upwards of 1500 for a small/medium sized build, and I think of how much it would sell for as a retail set. With this speeder, however, you've managed to create the shape as well as the size tremendously well, and managed to keep it at a relatively low piece count as well! I think that achieving levels of detail at a smaller piece count without sacrificing size or shape is extremely commendable, and also makes me think that, hypothetically, if this were a set, it would be appropriately priced while still maintaining accuracy.

Agreed on the doors, the macaroni tubes are perfect. The wall details in the grey corridors are also excellent.

The noses on those x-wings are visually appeasing, and the TIE is quite an interesting design of cockpit

It was UCS in everything but name, and being old is hardly a problem (see: 2007 MTT)

The pessimistic side of me can't help but think the gunship will be the next "501st battlepack" and that if the nebulon wins, people will act nonsensical and childish

That just makes it better, imo

One idea I've had for the past while is an Imperial Specialists Battlepack - 2 scout troopers (one with pauldron/chest printing from Fallen Order, one regular), 1 flame trooper, 1 imperial jumptrooper with new helmet mould

This is absolutely gorgeous

Does this year's imperial dropship not qualify?

How much did it cost approximately to get all of the parts?

I love the crates used as death star walls

I think a lot of it is the overall size of the set. TIE fighters have large profiles, and as such tend to have lots of large plates used in the wings. I will agree though that the prices are still a little high, all things considered

Any updates on this? It's very interesting seeing the building process

I hope they don't

I suspect they've retconned it in new canon to have some sort of repulsorlift system, which makes enough sense in universe imo

People have different tastes and different problems with movies

Coincidence or not, I think it's funny since that's Jeremy Bulloch, and I use the same head for my Boba Fett

I was hoping we moved on from this tired subject

the link says that "this folder is not yet public"

I hope the mandolorian bp has one of the imperial flametroopers with the red armor

I like the shaping on the front sides of the the cockpit. Does it have an interior?

As beautiful as ever
