These are awesome! My favorite is the venator cruiser! That scale is really perfect, enough detail without going absolutely bonkers on parts.

Thank You very much! Also, for the ones interested in building this mech, I made a build tutorial video: Have Fun building! Greetings Maranar

Hi! After I got Yoda's Jedi Starfighter and the Republic Fighter Tank I felt these were two good sets to mash together into a Mech MOC. I present to you the Republic Fighter Mech: I used quite a lot of the parts from these two sets, but obviously also additional parts that I had at hand. 20181009_Lego Star Wars Mech MOC_04 by Maranar bricks, on Flickr Including the cockpit for a clone trooper: Link to my Flickr album of this MOC: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmtx5gWU An instructions tutorial video will follow in the near future. I hope you like it! I am open for critique and suggestions to make it better! Greetings Maranar PS: The instruction video is online and can be found in the newer post.

Nice contribution. The whole setup must look awesome! Is there a video to watch where we can see the moving parts on the rollercoaster pieces? Would be nice!

I really like the angling of the wall. Very cool. They have quite a lot of brooms on their room! ^^

Thanks to both of you! Glad to be back!

Hi! I wanted to show off my first fleet I build. It's mostly for a game called Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit. I haven't played the game yet, though. To make it potentially more interesting I added a bit of background fluff. There is also a short Youtube video about this fleet, if you are inclined to rather watch that instead: I made a couple of instruction videos as well: Intercept Orbit Playlist But now to the fleet: Terran Defense Union Fleet GreyFleet001 by Maranar _bricks, on Flickr The TDU values their assets and uses defensive tactics to gain the upper hand in any conflict. Each ship is equipped with defensive systems, based on their shield ring technology. Nevertheless, Terran Command knows the importance of offensive capabilities and tries to balance these within their ship designs.

She is equipped with a long range railgun and sophisticated sensor equipment, allowing the commander to collect intricate sensor data of the surrounding space and objects.

She wants to be closer to the battle taking the attention away from the command ship. It is rather hard to ignore this offensive power house. As is it custom for the TDU, every ship is equipped with defensive systems through their shield rings.

The inability to fight at point blank range has to be taken into account when choosing its target.

Nimble and fast, as well as flexible in combat, they are an important part of the fleet.

This is just amazing. It works all really well together. I don't like all the colors of the elves theme that much, but you made it work!

Yeah, that sounds like a huge miss. How could that even happen?

Hehe.... thats a really fun build. Really cheeky! Love it!

I got new boxes of Yoda's Jedi Starfighter 75168 and the Republic Fighter Tank 75182 for 20 Euro each from a flea market.

And now for a monorail version! Kidding aside, its very well captured with the rail in between. Would be really cool if possible to build a small complete rail track to drive this on. I assume there is no wheel or so inside? But should be possible to keep the tiles to a minimum so it could still slide a bit. Too bad it was impossible to attach both parts to each other. Really awesome microscale build!

Really cool. I like the round front a lot. But I guess the AAT needs a stand for the upper part or it will fall on it?! Or is the front heavy enough? I guess its not that easy to know from digital renders. ^^

Every time I see such a cool ship build I feel the urge to try myself at it as well. Really cool ship. I love the dark blue color and the details. The finished ship will be awesome, I am sure!

That is really deceptive! ^^ Very cool idea and execution. The Mechversion looks very cool and articulate, which is something I feel is missing from a lot of other Transformer creations with lego. Well done! The picture with the Transformer sewing on another sewing machine is just perfect!

That is really cool! (no pun intended). I always liked the Ice Planet theme. The interior and orange panel at the back are my favorite parts. I think I would like just a tad of white on the outer hull as well, but it does portray a hulking demeanor like that!

Hi, my name is Rafael and I am from Germany. I got out of my Dark Ages a couple months ago and want to become a contributing member of the community. This forum seems awesome for that! I am now 34 and still have fond memories of playing with Legos as a kid. The best christmas was when I got the Fire Breathing Castle. This was so much fun. But I also liked the space theme a lot. Lego was the best toy ever, due to the possibilities it presented. It's funny how most of us get sidetracked with other things just to realize later how awesome it still is. I still like to get sets and build them at least once, and except maybe for the odd really awesome set, I will keep it displayed for some time. But ultimately it's all about taking it apart and building something new out of it. I really like to build alternate MOCs from just one set. It limits the amount of possibilities, sure, but also makes it challenging and one has to think of potentially new ways of building something, compared to having all the pieces at disposal. But obviously completely free MOCs using everything thats possible are awesome too. Haven't done anything big so far, but I am sure that time will come! Right now I am working on a Harry Potter themed MOC for a Halloween event, in which I show a scene from my Hogwarts RPG campaign. My three players are all first years at Hogwarts in 1984 and of course found their way into the Forbidden Forest! ;) But usually I am leaning towards creating Scifi-themed MOCs, like Mechs and Spaceships. Especially looking into a Lego-based tabletop game called Mobile Frame Zero and its spaceship spin-off Intercept Orbit right now. And for that matter I kinda thought that I wanted not only to sit alone (or my fiance) and put bricks together, but actually share my creations and hopefully add fun to other people's lifes as well. So I started a youtube channel sharing tutorial videos of my MOCs, as well as other related Lego topics, like Vlogs and Reviews!
