not all minifig scale if possible in minifig then it will be that scale but otherwise they are in scale with the official UCS, xwing y wing tie fighter etc.

you mean this is better than the AT-AT hmmm next projects my ideas are Republic attack shuttle Gaurdian mantis Zoomer Havoc or i'm open to suggestions i just want something thats not white, black or grey lol

the only interior will be the cockpit and the visible part of the boarding ramp. my 10212 arrived today so i can posr a picture of them together when i get chance to build it that is.

Carefull planning, sheer ingeniusness by myself an imense amount of calculation and trial and error and above all else amazing blind luck! nah theres a lot of bricks in the front as counterbalance you will see in the pictures that there is a black tech beam holding the rear up on a hard surface it sits fine and can take a good knock without falling backwards.

rented house so came with it, horrid ain't it lol

Asda is owned by Walmart hence Asda Walmart stores.

next 5 mins if you really want.... Well it's getting somewhere like how i want now so it's time to start getting parts finished i will be changing the cockpit again and i still have to decide what to do with the side panelling but here's what i have so far.

Well i've modified the gear train so that it doesn't slip but the wings are still too heavy they fold down no problem but to fold them up with out breaking more gears they have to have a helping hand.

well mines on order, got it for £45 GBP due to the vip points i got when i bought the 10212 happy days!

it's actually November 2nd

yeah i should have added that i have seen Wookiepedia i was wondering if there where any other sources? yeah i should have added that i have seen Wookiepedia i was wondering if there where any other sources?

Hi, does anybody have any reference pictures of the Guardian Mantis or Zoomer from Star Wars Starfighter? Does the Star wars encyclopedia have any decent pictures?

so they say they release it early yet if you ordered it last monday they were not shipping it oput until 1st november so it was only released early in the lego shops?? anyway theres a few photo's on brickshelf to look through. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4724975

i may even take a pic of them together when it's complete.

yeah they won't slip but i cannot lower the gear ratio with them, it's summat to think about though nah it's relatively small now a UCS AT-AT that would be gigantic!

yep i'm using to screw/worm drives, they are fine it's the bevel gears teeth slipping thats the problem.

yet again 2 more pictures for your perusal! a few greebs on the rear top. and one with one rear wing almost complete i built it the same as the 10212 so that the rear wings would fold up and down by turning a crank built into the greebs on the top, but alas the gear train is just not strong enough to cope with the wings i presume the reason why 10212 works is because it has two sets of gears and thus less strain, the gear that slips is the bevel gear at right angles to the small bevel gear on the worm drive gearbox. So now it will just be manual folding wings.

ok i have made the top wing a lot smaller in height and also in length, i think it fits well now. come on Bricklinkers will one of you part out 10215!!

Now you need to mod it to have a boarding ramp!

thanks for those AC but i have the book, it is similar to the movie version but not close enough although i think my version is going to be a mix of all the versions i can find.

More Lambda destruction resulted in the top wing today but it just seems wrong somehow can't quite figure out what though.

wey hey Tom has entered the building! back to the model does anybody think that the main body needs to be a bit wider?

it ws on FBTB that this was being released on 25th instead of 1st.

but then i will have two models the same and i don't have space for 2 of the same same i have the 10212 so the other has to go plus TLG's is a lot lighter ! there is a gap between the body and the tail because it is a WIP.

before xmas i'd have thought i have all the parts it's just the time it takes to get it right!
