Very nice work! I really like the scale :) How big is this -Height - Width? How many bricks have you used so far? :)

Wow! This really great, great work! How many bricks are in this set?? Cheers Morten

Being a UCS geek, I am looking forward the UCS B-wing. But, what I really need is a UCS Slave 1, with nice engine detail and a cockpit interior. And it MUST be in scale with the 10179 Falcon -precisely! Not just "minifig scale" because that is interpreted a bit too loosely - Thus the Imperial Shuttle and Falcon are not really in scale even though they should be :) So USC Slave 1; 2000 bricks. 200USD :) (Boba and Frozen Han brick included )

Wow, thanks for the nice feedback guys- you make me blush :) This is really a great forum - and you guys have really made some amazing models! I feel a bit ashamed I didn't find this place earlier, but anyway it is a delight to find equal minded (insane) people :) @Hollander About further modding; well I never think I really stop - there is alway something to tweak :) I have added a few plates a few places elsewhere on the model to give it a bit more texture in line with the real thing, but it is nothing substantial: See if you can spot the added plates :) A few plates below as well + another view of the new engine detail. @Fallenangel. I have been looking a photos of the real thing as well :) My goal with the mod was to convey the same sense of functionality and detail of the real ship (perhaps even more :P ) - and not necessarily carbon copy the details. I know I could probably have gotten closer to the real ship, but I decided to find a balance between copying and fantasising about how this thing might actually work. Besides, modding the with the angled studs and the limited "resolution" of Lego bricks (each stud/tile represent roughly 13 meters in real life :) ) represented some interesting challenges, that forced me to think creatively rather than following a blueprint :). However, I'm always open to suggestions for possible improvements, so please comment :) Lastly is a pic of my modded min Tantive IV. Length wise it is almost completely to scale with the ISD. I have just removed bricks from the stock model so I know that it is perhaps not the most sleek model :) However, I still wanted to keep the bulky engine section where each individual engine is preserved - so at this scale the model would always be kind of bulky :) I will post more UCS mods in the near future :)

Hi guys! This is my first post here so bear with me :) This summer I finally got my hands on a UCS 10030 (bley). It was actually my first UCS (I have 12 now). Being a huge Star Wars and Lego nut I was completely in love with the model. But, as with all loved ones, after a (short) while you begin to notice what you perceive as "flaws" and want to change them. Luckily changing a Lego model is MUCH easier than changing a real person :). The problems were, for once, the Tantive IV was out of scale, but that was quickly fixed. More importantly, when looking at the level of greeble detail on the model, the engine section seemed sorely lacking - as seen below: Thus I began a long process of looking at the movies, deciding on what details I liked and ordering the brickd on BrickLink. I have documented the entire process in pictures, but for now I'l just post a few pics of the final result: Over 400 bricks has been added to the engine section and surrounding area. I don't have the best camera in the world, but what do you guys think? Let me know if you want more pics :)
