jawas i want jawas!! anyway if it goes on sale in usa i will buy it but for the moment i am lured by 8110!

Well i have finished the outside but as is the norm i am redesigning the boarding ramp area to be more accurate to the prop!

Eh? whats going on with the topics? anyway this is a no buy set from me!

plus their are 2 bounty hunters missing!

sorry but it looks terrible! the side on view shows the model to have the same fault the star destroyer had with the top being angled and not level, the bottom is flat! theres lots of gaps at the rear where the engines are! thumbs down from me!

So far it has cost me £800 GBP all sourced from Bricklink and paid for from Bricklink sales from my own shop which at present is my only job as i am unemployed, so time is one thing i have. Finding the parts has not been to hard most have come from UK a few from the EU and a lot from USA/Canada and 1 order from Australia! i suppose most of the cost was shipping but i do not know any other way to obtain the vast array of parts needed any cheaper, and being nearly 98% reddish brown put the cost up. but i think it will be worth it. A total of 5 months buildtime so far with most of that waiting for parts.

it is 2 studs wider than Marshalls and about the same length, as for weight it's heavy! peice count will be around the 10K mark but it all depends what i do with the interior.

Ok the last WIPS before it's complete! Theres a few parts missing and a few changes i still want to make but here you go.

if that price is true then i think i will pass and spend the money on the Technic Unimog!

'If you look a majority of the pieces are not actaully legos but formed and cut plastic. Hence the door that closes on its own in a sealed motor system great but not really legos' haha not legos what the hell is legos??? some people have no idea!

i would hope so!

He meant UCS lobot

i do not want to know but at a guess over 10,000 actually i have more spare time than i know what to do with lol

Looks great did you change the front side angles? and i also can't wait to see what you did to keep th ecockpit roof level.

lol anyway you are right and that patch of grey will be changed as and when i have the parts, as you well no my mocs never get really finished they are always works in progress. Yes i am pleased with the front angles, even with all the problems it has caused with the front ramp as the angle of the sloped sides is not a wedge plate angle. the rear would be better sloped inward as the studio model is and could be done quite easily but here i went for ease of build rather than accurate as i am pretty sure no kids who will see this moc at future lego displays will notice. Infact there are lots of parts i am not happy with and will be changed in the next 2 months. And for the record i like Fallens or anyones posts that pic out faults i otherwise would not see myself or be bothered to change as it will improve the finished result.

It's getting very heavy now, can reduce the weight by removing the batteries though!

the minifigs are for the bridge scene from EPV which is hidden under the removable city section, this was confirmed by a member of the lego design team.

as far as i was aware the live action series was scrapped due to cost.

Competing?? i just thought the majority of the members there where little american kids

Cheers but i can't take all the credit, i have already started my next moc aswell!

or even trans yellow 1x2x1 panels.

yeah that would work but i would have studs in the windows :-(

i'm gonna see how the pf lights look with a trans yellow filter??? if i can mount trans yellow glass behind them that would be better i think, the biggest problem will be light leak around the roof join as even with the elastic bands fitted theres a slight gap (no elastic band fitted in the previous pics)

Another small update i'm waiting on Bricklink orders as usual but left to do now is the front ramp the rear emgines detail and 3 crawler assemblies throw a load of PF parts inside and it should be finished!

Welcome! I like this Moc it has a real star wars feel about it well done and as they say i await the next one!
