I realise I never posted pictures showing the cargo capacity of my Mobquet: Mobquet Transport in Action by Veynom, on Flickr Inside a Mobquet Medium Transport by Veynom, on Flickr Inside a Mobquet Medium Transport by Veynom, on Flickr

Nice attempt at a ship that few people still remember today. Keep on building. If you ever decide to share the LDD, I would be interested in it. ;)

Nice rendering of a not so appealing ship and kudo for the interior. I do enjoy the holo star destroyer.

Thank you very much for sharing this very nice rendering of the snowspeeder along with the full instructions.

Nice ones. :)

Here is my entry for the SHIPtember 2016 contest. Mobquet Medium Transport by Veynom, on Flickr This year, I decided to build a Mobquet Medium Transport coming straight from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Those among you who played to the X-Wing Alliance videogame or read the Dark Empire comics book must maybe remember it. Length: 104 studs Width: 34 studs This is my 5th SHIP. Mobquet Medium Transport by Veynom, on Flickr A small zoom on its "head": Mobquet Medium Transport by Veynom, on Flickr And on the back, with the engine exhausts: Mobquet Medium Transport by Veynom, on Flickr Please note that the back side is not fully conform to the original pictures. Normally, there should be 2 large engines at the bottom-read side. However, for playability reasons, I have decided not to display them. By removing them, the MOC can strongly land on the bottom repulsors and is much sturdier. My build technic is mainly about cladding panels around a strong technic backbone. I am still working on the inside as I want to make it playable for my son. However, here is a small sneak preview of one of the bays. More pictures later. Mobquet Medium Transport by Veynom, on Flickr A few features: A handle to easily carry it (and it is not too heavy according to my son) Opening panels on each sides (4 total) and on the top (also 4) in order to easily access the inside. Side panels can be used as access ramps A few visible studs inside the bays in order to attach small vehicles and ships Rear bay transport capacity: 6 speeder bikes (Empire or Clone Wars style) OR 4 speeder bikes & 2 pallets of equipment (small repair area) OR any 6 of the vehicles usually found within battle packs Central bay transport capacity: any of the below lines (all tested successfully) 2 Tank Droids (75015) 1 Mandalorien speeder 1 Jedi fighter (Aethersprite) 2 Geonosian fighters or Canon 2 clone light artillery guns 1 speeder bike with side-car Plenty of crates, or troops or whatever A few pictures from the build : I started by measuring the length, just to have an idea of what I ned to build SHIPtember 2016 Day 1: The beginning of the journey by Veynom, on Flickr Then I try transforming it into a strong backbone (with the handle, it has to be strong) SHIPtember 2016 Day 4: Assembling the backbone by Veynom, on Flickr After the first cargo area, I start the second, while testing the cladding technic. SHIPTEMBER going forward. by Veynom, on Flickr The idea of a double floor for the rear bay is born here .... simultaneously with my fear of not having enough plates to cover the entire surface. Ultimately, it was ok but I have no more black, dark blueish grey or green plates anymore. SHIPTember 2016 Day 27 by Veynom, on Flickr Almost finished .... on one side at least. The second side was still empty and panel-less.

Being a big fan of color variants, I can only applaud your red Y-Wing. Congrats!

Far from my usual MOCs, here come my first custom minifigs. They are all based on Star Wars The Clone War serie and the famous 501st Legion Captain Rex & his clones by Veynom, on Flickr From left to right: Captain Rex, Sergeant Appo, Kix, Jesse, Dogma, Havoc, Echo. Rex is the TLC minifig with custom accessories. All other clones mix custom decals, custom helmets, custom weapons, custom pauldrons. Quarter turn right, right! by Veynom, on Flickr Decals on arms provide real appeal and some are even different. But admittedly, the medical logo on Krix's arm is not fully correct. Backview by Veynom, on Flickr Back view showing again some differences. 6 custom clone troopers by Veynom, on Flickr The 6 custom clones with decals on their torso, back, arms and legs. Jesse has also a custom belt. Zoom on Dogma: Dogma by Veynom, on Flickr And now on Kix: Jesse by Veynom, on Flickr The Arc Troopers Havoc & Echo: Havoc & Echo by Veynom, on Flickr And all of my 501st as of today: 501st Legion by Veynom, on Flickr For your info: - Weapons come from The Little Arms Shop - Pauldrons come from Cape Madness - Custom helmets are from Clone Army Custom - Decals are homemade. I scanned a sticker sheet purchased on eBay then printed (inkjet) it on an empty decal sheet (hard to find). Afterward, I had to apply varnish all over the printed sheet, using a spray (because using a pencil was diluting the color). Once your decal sheet is dry, cut carefully the decals, put them into the water and wait until they slip off their support. Apply carefully on the minifig. I also use Microscale products to ensure that decals can stick to curved surfaces (arms & legs) and on the borders. Finally, I apply one last touch of varnish so that my son can play with them. I learned a lot during the process and there are a few mistake I will not do anymore. on the bright side, I am now fully equipped to produce a battalion of clones. :) My army is progressing :mrgreen: Comments welcome...

Simply brilliant, congrats!

Some very interesting ideas. And thank you for sharing the file.

TIEs are not far off either. :) Let's not forget the bad guys.

Excellent rendering. I truly admire the level of details yo umanaged to include in your MOC. Very elegant result. What is the length of your model exactly? I had also built a large version of the Tantive IV. But I rather concentrated on the playability (ok, with 4.5KG, it became relative). I still improve it and my next step will be to improve the head, using a brick built technic. Nice work, keep them coming anyway!

A very nice hangar, indeed. There are plenty of charming details and still, nothing is overloaded. Having 3 different levels contribute a lot to its success as well. Great work.

Thank you again for your very positive comments. @Zelda: not sure. I also found a picture of a similar TIE variant with 2 pods and a larger wing on top. Possibilities are endless.

Thank you all for your very nice comments. @miles teg: the technic requires a thick top to make it strong. Not sure the standard TIE has room for this.

I was fan of the Tyrant already but then seeing a truly original design is so great, particularly when built with such impressive skills. You have done a great job at reproducing the legendary Interdictor. The fact that you mixed both the Immobilizer and the Rebel versions does not bother me at all. The global design is great. Having it with a detailed interior and to scale with the Tyrant only adds further to the cheers. Excellent MOC, great design choice, splendid execution. It only deserved to be blogged.

Nice rendering, even if I would have used a few more dark blueish grey parts on the sides to highlights the shape. Speaking of the shape, I believe the reactors should be located slightly higher, based on the following reference image. Good work anyway!

Here is my latest MOC, a TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber, also known originally as Torpedo Launcher. TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber by Veynom, on Flickr Do not look for this TIE craft in any of the movies, anime, or comic books as you will not find it. It is based on the 3D model created in the early nineties par Marco SPitoni for his excellent animation fanfilm: " ". (Look from 27" and also in the credits)I then decided to build it using my bricks in order to complete and expand further my LEGO TIE collection. TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber by Veynom, on Flickr This side view shows the technic beam used to link the top wing to the TIE body. It provides structural strength and thanks to it, you can play with the TIE and replicate any kind of space combat. TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber by Veynom, on Flickr The rear side offers a view on an unusual feature for a TIE craft: the presence of 2 distinctive engines under the wing: TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber by Veynom, on Flickr TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber by Veynom, on Flickr Here is a shot at the wing global shape. Note that the middle section has built using an odd number of studs in order to respect the symmetry with the body and the support pylon. TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber by Veynom, on Flickr Front view depicting the torpedo launchers under the wing: TIE/tb Torpedo Bomber by Veynom, on Flickr And of course, it is on scale with other TIE sets. ;) Comments welcome.

Great design. And so nice from you to share 2 designs at once and the LDD as well. Nice built, keep them coming.

Thank you all for the very nice comment. :)

Here is the result of spending a few restful days at the seaside with a handful of arctic sets: the Goliath, a heavy arctic snowcat. It is built from parts coming from the other arctic vehicles in order to combine some of their play features. Arctic team in action by Veynom, on Flickr The Goliath is great at crossing any kind of difficult landscape: Goliath in Action by Veynom, on Flickr Arctic Goliath Snowcat by Veynom, on Flickr The Goliath is packed with many features; - forward cab to host the driver and an additional passenger with room for some equipment as well; - large storage compartiment in the centre to put 2 crates; - fully equipped lab at the rear side; - tow cable; - Plenty of powerful lights to enlighten the arctic night; - remote camera on the roof; - Additional storage locations around the vehicle to clip many different tools; - radar and radio antennas. Rien de tel pour épauler l'équipe : Goliath deployed. by Veynom, on Flickr Here is the lab: Inside the Goliath by Veynom, on Flickr More pictures: Arctic Goliath Snowcat by Veynom, on Flickr Arctic Goliath Snowcat by Veynom, on Flickr Arctic team in action by Veynom, on Flickr I know making an arctic vehicle during summer and taking pictures on the beach is not perfect as background for the model, sadly, I can't change sand into snow. ;) Arctic team in action by Veynom, on Flickr Arctic Goliath by Veynom, on Flickr I love holidays. I hope you enjoy yours as well.

After my TIE-Emancipator, here comes my rendering of the TIE-Defender, legendary spacecraft from the Star Wars expanded universe. TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr Directly inspired from the 8087 Lego set, here is my attempt at the TIE-Defender. Originally, I merly wanted to slightly modify my 8087 in order to block the rotation of the cockpit. Ultimately, I rebuilt the TIE from scratch, one update after the other. TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr As a consequence, my version is heavier and looks bulkier. However this only makes it more impressive. And a good side effect is that the wings are now symmetrical on both sides. No more inverted studs. :) TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr Front view depicting its angelic face. TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr A couple of pictures from the rear side, where the body supporting the hulk is doubled compared to the original. TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr I really enjoy building TIEs, it is all about TIE-Fun. ;) Comments welcome.

Here is a brick-built version of a MOC based on the MKI version of the excellent TIE-Emancipator from GuyDudeMan27. Compared to the original design, I made the following modifications: - The read body has been redesigned to be symmetrical; - Extra details have been added here and there; - Some color swapping depending on available parts in my stock; - Printed parts have been used for the cockpit or parts with stickers for other areas; - Wings supports have been re-enforced for playability & swoshability; - Some structural details were modified for sustainability and resistance to kids. (I know, resistance is futile) TIE-Emancipator by Veynom, on Flickr Front view ... nasty beast. TIE-Emancipator by Veynom, on Flickr A top rear view offering insight on the details. TIE-Emancipator by Veynom, on Flickr Lateral views. Sadly with black on black parts, details are not very visible: TIE-Emancipator by Veynom, on Flickr TIE-Emancipator by Veynom, on Flickr And more pictures... TIE-Emancipator by Veynom, on Flickr TIE-Emancipator by Veynom, on Flickr So special thanks again to GuyDudeMan27 for his design. I really like it and it is a killer once built.

Thanks! But indeed, some uglies may even look worse. I pictured a few days ago a ship that would have the main body of the X-Wing with the cockpit replaced by a heavy gun, a TIE-LN wing on the port side, and the cockpit part of the B-Wing on the starboard side. Ugly, you said? ;)

Thank you. The pilot suit also has been scavenged, of course. :-p Thanks! You are absolutely right. The first time you see them, they look totally unappealing. Then the more you look at them the better you appreciate them. Thank you! The Y-TIE is quite massive when displayed next to other TIEs and Y-Wings. And it is heavy. Custom made stickers. I found the picture on the internet, resized it, mirrored it for the other side, and printed them both on a transparent sticker sheet. Relatively easy job. Thank you all for the great supportive comments!
