I’m gonna need some google refs for this because I really want to know what you’re referencing… GITS? 😂

Thanks buddy. 😁

Very nice, I’m not a huge gunship nut myself but this looks like a nice compact design. Looking forward to seeing the real build.

Spot on minifig scale. I was going to do a UCS scale power loader last year but never got round to it. Might pick that project back up after seeing this. Nice!

Thanks Kirk. I don’t know how to categorise it size wise anymore. Even calling it midi plus seems too small because it’s really big. But it’s not at the scale of something like 2mpaireds brickvault version so it can’t be called UCS scale. Perhaps ‘Midi Plus Plus size plus a bit extra’ 😄

Aw mate… timing! You knocked my Nebulon update post off the top of the forum ;) also this is great. Brilliant shaping and detail for the scale. Top job, can’t wait to see it’s mothership!

EF76 Nebulon-B Escort Frigate 2643 pieces. 84cm long, 38cm high. It's a big boy, kept very affordable for it's size/piece count and instructions are available now from rebrickable at: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-131500/Rubblemaker/movie-accurate-nebulon-b-escort-frigate-midi-plus-scale/#details Full album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/164260086@N06/albums/72177720310520216 Thanks for looking.

Indeed. My original reply to Feuer was meant to be quite tongue in cheek tbh. Any feedback is nice, no feedback is fine. Views are always good. Peace!

Certainly didn’t mean to imply that. The landscape has changed a lot over the last couple of years. The hobby is growing in popularity by an incredible amount, which is great. And there are indeed a lot more people doing it, and doing Mocs and seeking attention for them. Totally agree. It’s probably reached over saturation by this point. thanks for responding! 😊👍

God damn, it really does transform! I had to look it up cause I missed it first time round so here’s a big old bump for this. I’m always quite in awe of anyone who can make a transformer from Lego. If I tried doing that with a moc it would just disintegrate in my hands. You must have to be thinking several steps ahead for every piece you place when you’re creating it. Hats off to you!

How many have I commented on? Perhaps not enough, perhaps I’m contributing to that problem too… but I’m sure as hell providing a lot of content and many people who don’t comment also don’t even do that. I’m one of the content creators of Eurobricks. I come here to share my work for others entertainment and to chat about it with like minded others. Without people like me there really is no Eurobricks (totally hyperbolic that, but you get the gist, and luckily there are a lot of people like me) But as you say, and as your, frankly brilliant, moc proved, if people don’t instantly recognise it from popular culture, all the talent, time and skill in the world behind a build means nothing. Sometimes. That’s where Lego enthusiasts come in and where they can be more engaging to those of us who provide the content than casual consumers. btw, I’m not saying as a content creator I shouldn’t need or be expected to comment on others work, not at all and your point is valid (though I tend to comment if I think something is good enough and I want to know something from the builder) I’m saying that I’m at least pulling more weight than 113 lurkers. 😄 or at least, I like to think all the content I provide for people to look at is doing that anyway. Thanks for responding! 😊👍🤟

Thanks for the response, and the kind words :) The piece used for the fan cage on the air con unit is one of these in flat silver: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=18978&name=Wheel Cover 5 Spoke and 10 Spoke for Wheel 18976, 8 in Bag - 4 of Each (Multipack)&category=[Wheel, Accessory]#T=C Thanks for the response! we are brothers in arms! 😄🫡💪 The background is an image displayed on my iPad slotted into the back of the moc. I wanted the backlighting and glass from it to add to the effect of a window. In fact, in one of the shots where the robot is standing upright his reflection is even caught in it. So that worked out ok. The cables are battery powered neon wires from Amazon. £10 for a pack of 5. I have white, green, red, pink and blue! And they also worked a lot better than I thought they would! 😊 Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with any of that of course. 😊👍 Agreed, like I said, I’ve met some of the best builders on Eurobricks. I’m not sure I’d say it’s better than Instagram, or worse. Just very different. You get far more interaction with your posts on Instagram but the audience and skill levels vary wildly, whilst here, not as much. Lots of excellent builders post here so you’ll get some really valuable insights and tips from here you won’t get from Instagram.. when people talk to you that is. Which is rarely. back on topic, the cables are battery powered neon wires from Amazon. £10 for a pack of 5 colours. I have white, blue, pink, red and green. They worked a lot better than I thought they would. Other stuff of note, there is a torch above it shining through a stack of clear 1x2 bricks creating a strip light in the ceiling and the view out of the window is actually an image displayed on my iPad slotted into the back of the moc! Thanks for your response btw! 😁

That's true, I also build for myself first and foremost.. but... also for others. I mean.. what's the point of posting your mocs in a public forum at all if not to hear from and converse with like minded others? Surely that's why we all do it?. Not just to have our work looked at, but to hear what people think about it. I'm being totally honest when I say that I've encountered some of the best builders with the most valuable and mature viewpoints on Eurobricks. I guess there are a lot of users who just observe though and don't partake. That's fine as well of course. To a certain point. Once you've had hundreds of views and no replies you can start to wonder... ;) Thanks again, it's nice to be able to discuss this sort of thing. 😊👍

Thanks boss! It's ok honestly, I know not everyone has something expressive to say about a moc. It's sometimes cool just to hear 'nice build' though! I'll just tell myself all those people thought that and then moved on rather than thinking 'what a load of garbage' and then moving on 😛 And thanks loads for the feature! 😊👍

Is it that random though? There is a dedicated Star Wars forum here for all your ‘comparing to Star Wars’ needs and it’s not in that, for obvious reason. It’s clearly a sci fi build and it’s in the sci fi forum. This forum doesn’t specify the build needs to be within an established sci fi sector, such as classic space, in fact it is deliberately broadly named with just the genre.. to be inhabited by … random sci fi builds. So I’d say, as I posted this in here it is quite ‘not’ random in fact. The community is full of creatives that don’t make the same old boring spaceships from Star Wars over and over again. If you ask me Star Wars is as mind numbingly tedious as it’s possible to get. It’s all been done over and over and over again ad nauseum. Originality and creativity is far more interesting and thought provoking. The builders that make me think and talk about their work are those who do something truly new. Because that’s a lot more interesting than seeing a Lego Tie Fighter. Again. I’m not bashing on you btw. Far from it. I think it’s an interesting and thought provoking discussion. And thanks for commenting! 😊🙏👍

Hooray! An actual reply.. rather than the 113 people who looked at the post and couldn’t be bothered to leave so much as a ‘cool!’ In response. I was thinking this was about to fall victim to the curse of Eurobricks and not get a single response. Only on a ghost town forum like this can you get 113 people view something and not a single one comment… But I digress. Thanks for the kind words and the astute observation. It is indeed designed with a personal nature in mind. But a place of hospitality for all robots to come to rather than just one. The units on the walls are intended as different types of power supplies offering different grades of energy for different robots. Because I like coming up with silly stories like that for my Mocs. again, thanks for the response! 😄

Here we are at the Robot Recharge Room. A place for our metal mates the metropolis over to rest up, power down and then power back up before going back out to their dismal lives of servitude.

Thanks very much. I wanted to go further with that. I wanted him to be completely covered in a mass of wires and tubes all coming out of his body but you couldn't really tell what was going on so I abandoned it 😄

Welcome to a rather bleak future in which spaceships use organic life as 'meat batteries'. Or perhaps the lifeforms in question aspire to this and see it as some kind of ascension or rite of passage?. Who knows? Full album is on my Flickr page at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/164260086@N06/albums/72177720308914054 (as Eurobricks seem to hate Flickr this refuses to post as a clickable link, sorry) Or come find me on Instagram: @rubblemaker_lego Thanks for looking :)

This is 010. A bio-augmented hunter with a ton of attitude. He was quite the challenge to create because I'm not used to making brick built figures, I usually do spaceships, but a change is good sometimes. If you want to see more of him, check out his full album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/164260086@N06/albums/72177720306093310

Yes, in fact I've considered making the whole rebel fleet to scale with it. Which is very likely what I'll be doing next. :)

Ah yes. Available display space. The achilles heel of every LEGO enthusiast the world over. Well I can’t help you with that I’m afraid. But I can help with the cost because mine costs a lot less to build than the UCS ISD retails for. Also, here’s another picture of it. Because, reasons:

😄 I created it to only cost as much as ‘non-essential organs’ so it’s good to know that worked. 😂👍

I don’t think, as of yet, Brickvault or 2mpaired have published the actual dimensions of his amazing version. And I don’t recall him telling me the size at any point (I speak to him on Instagram sometimes) however I’ve done a quick assessment and if we look at a common feature of both, which is the long black strip along the ground that connects the front and back stands. By counting the tiles I can see his is 82-84 studs long whilst mine is 58 studs long. I can’t really tell you exactly how that will translate to the overall dimensions of his build but for sure mine is significantly less pieces, and smaller overall of course (though it still has a pretty hefty footprint taking up an entire shelf of a large IKEA unit I use to display on). Which it was always meant to be. Mine is created for builders who would like a large, highly detailed and super accurate, yet still very affordable Nebulon B. This influenced the usage of only common pieces throughout as well. I wanted as many people as possible to be able to build it. Thanks. That’s really nice to hear. When you spend weeks/months of your life pouring your heart and soul (and sanity) into something, it’s great to hear that people appreciate the final product.
