Taking @Geihlen 's suggestion to heart. Here's my attempt. Part count went way up - but I can remove the plates and insert the locking pin - seems to look ok - its a bit weird. Got very lucky - the large 1/4 parts on top have a Axel hole's that let me install lift-arms underneath to form a square frame and extend outwards. Not sure if its structurally sound per-se - but I think it will work out ok. Anyway...any thoughts? ^_^ -
I'd like to know too :)

Mines wired with LED's so..yeah........design is little to be desired in terms of transpo
-
Very nice! Ok I gotta ask - how do you transport your ISD? That thing is a pain to move.
-
Can hear the screaming Twin Ion Engines of doom already.
-
That.......may actually work. I'll have to think about that.
-
In a word? Structure. plates look good but won't hold due to stress. Keep in mind whatever I build up top is going down below and that thing has to sit on it. However I'm open to suggested in terms of ideas - but building domes with plates is a real P I T A honestly. Something of this size and scale also tends to complicate things a bit. Again - open to suggestions. Also brickbuilt suggestions are welcome too.

Still working at it - been staring at this thing for hours - couple of challenges: 1 The Turret is anchored by a pair of pins - how to insert pin when you can't reach it when turret wall is in 2: How to close it up without compromising structure with pin in place and be able to remove it. Chicken or the Egg syndrome. Managed to come up with 1 solution - I may try something else with turret - like a removable side wall. I have a wall built up from the left side on a place - the part I highlighted is just attached by the lower 1x12 some odd plate - the inside is a 2x2 smooth tile so you just slide it in and anchor it with that plate - I presume you'll be building up around to cover/flesh out - not sure yet. I'm not sure I like it - obviously its not aligned very nicely. This is proving to be a challenge for sure. The pin should have enough clearance to slide in - may need some tweezers or you can start pulling the bricks off as needed. Just needed something that would let you cap it off when the turret is dropped in place. Hmmmmmmm. And lets not mention the upside down portion - that's going to be tons of fun...ha...ha...ha.

[MOC] Imperial Star Destroyer - The Eviscerator

^ISD Significantly different type of ship ;) now if you really did make 14+ foot long ships- pics please :D -
This is what I call a loaded gun thread. Everyone is going to have their own tastes and preferences and their opinions will be very subjective. Comes down to you on whether you like variant A over B over C. Personally Structure is a big deal for such a big model - I'd like to be able to move it without it having it fall apart :P Detail/accuracy are also good - but still.
-
I gotta say...this is surprisingly good. Very nicely done.

[MOC] Imperial Star Destroyer - The Eviscerator
Kage Goomba replied to 2mpaired's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Ok that is impressive.....wish my UCS Star Destroyer was like that. -
It allows me to get ideas and solutions as I solve the problems. But sometimes people want to be skiddish to keep their original idea their own long enough to get it done so I can respect that. In any case - greatly appreciate the remarks. :)
-
Yep....but sadly due to lego's limitations - I'm kind of having to fudge a bit.
-
I really don't....but I'm trying :) Appreciate the compliment.

@Guyinaplaguemask It's modeled after the UCS Falcon's turrets - there will be 2 vertical lift arms and each one will be anchored by a capped axel (taking a page from complaints of AT-AT UCS I made it easy to remove but not loose to fall out) The turret "Dome" will sit on the main body - just need to think about how ill do the left/right side so its easy to get to the anchor. Taking a bit to chew on. It's not perfect - but its shaping up pretty good. I also correct the cannons to be dual and not quad to be more accurate to the Otana. Lift arms are deep so that's why I made the anchors like they are - but also wanted to make it easy to align.
-
Which one? The little guns or the Large Dual Cannon Turrets?
-
Thanks to Kdapt - its actually rather brilliant - The 2L side of the pin is on the inside - leaving the 1L side outside - so you pull the liftarm (which is just a nice cover) and you can pull the pins likening to a set of jenga blocks. Once you remove the entire assembly - you can start to disassemble from bottom to the top and remove all components. Theoretically - certainly was better than it was before.
-
You're brilliant you know that?
-
Its the parts I'm using to align the turret liftarm - bottom line - can that be easily/fully dissembled without issue? (the picture)
-
I still alive and still working on this. I've got the starting of the Turret - but I kind of did a boo boo. What you guys call an "illegal" build - not in the sense parts are bogus - but the fact it can't be taken apart...at least obvious enough to me. Need some suggestions on not having this situation. This is the Mount portion of for the Turret - there will be 2 on each side - the top and bottom. I've set it up that it would self align and be easy as possible to install with a capped rod. Lift arm drops in the hole - you shove the axel in - bang - locked in. But as you can see - its not something one can take apart...easily..at least I'm worried. comments? suggestions? <poke @Kdapt-Preacher >
-
Authenticity is the bonus ;) just figured it would be cool.
-
When can we expect the "Accessories" ? :) Looks great!
-
Flotation devices recommended. :)

Don't forget the car.
