When I was a kid I saw these two sets and screamed to get my hands on them - Tried my damnedest to take good care of these two - still have boxes - manuals. The very first two UCS Sets Lego produced for Star Wars (as far as I know) that lead to the fantastic sets we have today. Many years later....discovered the wonder of LED Kits for Legos - got an UCS A-Wing - loved it. Got a Star Destroyer - Screamed murder wiring it up - loved the results. Republic Gunship.....and on and on and on. A new drug addiction. Realized my X-Wing and TIE Interceptor where in the dark - no kits out there - saw Light My Bricks sells components. And this was the result. Id post videos but these boards may not like that much - and I'd rather avoid youtube for now. They each have a "Multi Effects Board" that lets the laser cannons do "blinky blinky" - the TIE Interceptor is wired to flash the top cannons then the bottom cannons in synch and the XWing is an "X" Pattern - just like the movies and classic Games of old - TIE Fighter and XWing. I've not really seen LED Kits take such things into account. Budget was wasn't unreasonable and only need a few key Lego parts aside from the components. I sent instructions detailing these to Light my Bricks as thanks/grins/giggles - but these sets are very old and likely won't see much light - albeit still classics all over. Tempted to sell these instructions or offer them up to others who would like to breath life into their 20 some odd year old sets. ^_^ Kind of new to this sort of thing. PS: Picture of TIE Interceptor Front is different as I used the wrong "transparent rods" for the laser cannons - too yellow - went and swapped with transparent dark green.

As someone who was utterly disgusted with the design of the bomber in that movie - this model is an utter fantastic recreation. Almost enough to forgive the foolish concept of this bomber lol.

Not sure if this helps - and I'm just starting to get the "itch" to design my own model....but after building the Star Destroyer (75252), the Republic Gunship (75309), and the TIE Fighter (retired - 75095) - in terms of "long flat surfaces" - 3 to 4 plates thickness with interweaving longer/est plates for coverage tend to be the trick. Especially if you have no struts or frames to draw support from. The only thing I've noticed is they tend to warp slightly under their own weight - but can be resolved with extra structure or framing from any number of areas. My point being - your on the right track - the current iteration looks very good - better over your last one. The TIE Fighter was a good one to think of in this case as its got very long panels - thickest I've seen yet - yet its rigid as can be. Weight is a concern however. The Star Destroyer is very tenuous in that regard - maybe look to the TIE Fighter Panels for inspiration or Gunship Wings - granted they aren't holding much but could help. Again - noob here - so feel free to disregard.

UCS Millennium Falcon - Managed to snag the very last one on this restock in my area at lego store. (yeah paid full price - but it also went up in value as soon as I walked out the door lol) May have to tell my landlord - no more dinning room table cause "legos" :D Ref: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/millennium-falcon-75192

THANK YOU - This is exactly what I'm looking for! Much obliged!

Understandably this is not an UCS - but I've been playing SWTOR and saw this and had to get my hands on it for my collection. Would be nice to have a UCS-esque plaque when I put it on display - the one I found on ebay is frankly trash. Much like any of the other Star Wars Plaques that Lego throws in - would be nice to have some minor specifications of the ship and neat little specs you'd find on wookiepedia. Any one have some ideas or suggestions? Thanks. :) Ref: Model - https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/75025 Specs/Lore - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Defender-class_light_corvette/Legends
