    I attempted to motorize the wings by attaching a geared-down M-motor to it but there was too much strain so I ended up using a crank-driven wing. As for piece count, I'm not too sure. The official UCS set has a count of 2503, including minifigs. But judging from the enormous amount of different slopes used and the complexity of the cockpit design, I'll put the piece count to 2900.

    Thanks! It took me a while to figure out how to do the sides, I ended up using a combination of hinges and Mixels joints.

    This is my take on a minifig-scale UCS scale Imperial Shuttle from Return of the Jedi. Since I wasn't sure where to start, the worm gear mechanism is loosely based on the official set. However, the rest is a mix of my design with subtle cues taken from Marshal Banana's MOC and 10212. It features gear-driven wings, detachable landing gear, poseable weapons, and an opening canopy with room for 4 minifigs.

    Amazing!

    Thanks so much for the advice.

    Thanks! I agree it is a little wide, I followed the width of the 24 Hour Race Car as a guideline.

    Just a bit of an introduction before I start. I'm pretty used to building small-scaled MOCs, nothing using the TECHNIC building system. I've got a couple of the sets, but that's pretty much it. This is my first TECHNIC MOC. MERCURY features a 4-speed transmission based on one of Sariel's designs, independent front and rear suspension, HOG steering with linked steering wheel, and shock-absorber assisted doors and rear engine cover. The spoiler is operated by a small switch on either side of the car, and can be moved up and down. The car itself is mid-engined with a working V8. Please give me some feedback if you can, I'm trying to expand my horizons with TECHNIC, as it's very different from what I'm used to.

    Thanks. The hardest part was building the cockpit, I think I achieved the combination there the best.

    This is a pretty old MOC of the Quinjet from the Avengers movie and Agents of SHIELD. Cockpit has seating for 2 minifigs, and there's a lot of room for storage on the inside.

    I've taken some pictures of how the wheel guards mount onto the Batmobile. You're all free to use it, but please give me proper credit:

    Yeah, I did do the underside as accurately as I could. I'll post pics soon.

    This is the second iteration of "The Bat" that I built. It features an opening cockpit, room for 2 minifigs, movable engine pods, moving rear flaps, and spinning propellers. The most challenging aspect of designing and building it was trying to capture the shape of all the panels on the top and rear of the vehicle.

    Here's a quick mod I came up with. I felt the front end of the Batmobile from 76045 was unfinished, so I rebuilt most of the front section to include wheel covers, spinning turret, and smoother front end.

    With the highly anticipated Batman v Superman being released in a week, I decided to revamp some of my old Batmobile MOCs. The first one I decided to redo was the Tumbler. This is the fifth iteration of my MOC, and features seating for two, opening canopy, and 6 poseable flaps. I collectively used a lot of great ideas from other peoples' designs, mainly from Buggyirk's, so much of the credit goes to him. Please enjoy! And of course, an obligatory Batman v Superman style shot

    Anything from Galidor.

    Pretty sure it's a clone brand.
  20. tfcrafter
    Super impressive!
  21. tfcrafter
    Thanks. By all means, use the mod. Thanks!

    Thanks!

    When I acquired set 9495 when it was released, I thought it was the perfect Y-Wing. A few years later, I decided to do my own version. Here's what I came up with: One important detail I wanted was for the astromech droid to be able to sit perpendicular to the ship: For the engines, I kept the original 9495 nacelle and engine assembly, but bulked it up with several greebled plates. I really liked the bomb-dropping feature of 9495, so I installed it in my MOC. I hope you like it!

    What parts of the design did you think were rushed?
  25. tfcrafter
    The design is really close to Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for the X-wings, your MOC is excellent.
