Right. I built it with bigger wings. But it is ugly. So, I put smaller wings. I think it looks really better in a Lego version, even if it is a bit different from the real ship. Actually, it is my personal touch ! Regarding the light grey elements inside the wing (I mean on the side of the cockpit), I didn't put them as I found no legal build to attach them in a nice way. This solution suits me very well since on officials TIEs, these grey elements are also absent.

3 points to Lisqr. Micro scaled modular houses is a very good idea ! I love this MOC.

UCS will never be a matter of size. It is a matter of details. If it is possible to do a model with fewer parts but with as much details, why this model should be bigger ?

Wooooooooooooooooooo ! Thank you sooo much Whung ! It looks great ! Even if I think that the Imperial Shuttle is not perfect, I have to thank TLG for making new UCS !!! edit : it has some similitaires with cavegod starfighter. Cavegod, have you been contacted by TLG, like Dmac for the 10212 ?

Here is a VERY useful soft to get a LDD parts list : http://www.nolberger.se/lego/wantedbricks/ Great soft, isn't it ?

Well. Let me know, and show me some photo when you are done. Haha. Here is the desaster, at the bottom of the first post : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37663 Now, you have to thank for having you done spend 600€.

I used his instructions. But I did a lot of changes. The frame, is more "clean". I made some greebs different, same for the engines. I also add the hangar below. And Oxycrest did the famous display card.

Yeah. I built it 6 months ago. Here it is : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=422392

Well. I didn't wanted to give the file I have since : - there are several wrong parts in it - I removed all the gears - many parts have changed - some element of my MOC aren't in the file (the wings, the cockpit, all the greebs behind). BUT, if one of my best "fan" ( ) ask me to supply this file, I'm compelled to give it. So, here it is : http://up.sur-la-toile.com/iAR9 Just one thing : Put the credit if you use it. The sticker may come soon in my BS.

Eventually, it is no so impressive. I mean it is big, and looks good. But the mechanism of the wings is really poor... edit : the designer need to do a training period in the Technic departement to achieve such a mechanisme :

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean... :s

Thank you. But I prefer curved slope. Don't you ? edit : wtf, I may have pay 30€ to get all the tan parts. O_o Some of them are damn expensive, especially the wings.

I think it is better with curved slopes. :) But maybe you can show me how it looks like ? It doesn't exist in sand green. Otherwise I would have use it. Sure, as it has the perfect shape (of course it has the perfect shape, since it was designed for the Slave 1 !). The dark green looks too shiny. I don't know why TLG made his slave with dark green... Oh, yes, I know. TLG did it with dark green to produce a "new" Slave, and so to make money. edit : doing the wings only with tan parts will be expensive.

Inclining the slope I have is IMO only a botch-up (sorry if it is not the right word I used :s ). And it is maybe an illegal build. Which other part could I use ?

@ Cavego & Smack : thak you very much. That was what I was aiming at. @ Smack : yes, the scale is quite correct compared to the Minifig Boba. :) Otherwise, I never sell my work (it's a matter of principle). But IMO, it is quite easy to reproduce it with the photos I did, or even the photo I will do. The system with U-joint is smart, maybe, but is not very complicated. The only thing I want, as always, it the credit (it's a matter of respect). @ Cavegod : yeah, the brown slope are not enough angled. But with the parts that TLG produced till today, I thing it is the best I can do. I definitely refuse to make it with plate or anything else. That would be too ugly. One more thing : yes, I thing I will do the wings tan. That will be more realistic. fallenangel327, thank you for the idea. :)

Thank you for your comments ! @ fallenangel327 : Sorry, for the angles, I can't do better. Fot the color of the wings, I will see what I can do. :)

To respect TLG's colors scheme (purist powaaaa : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44163&view=findpost&p=775279)

No. It is trong. It is attached with many studs (brick 1x4 and brick 1x1 with stud(s) on side).

No offense to Amun-Ra ( ), but IMO, something like that don't look so good : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2009515

No. But IMO, it looks quite good so, doesn't it ? It is smooth and there are also greebs. I don't see what I could change.

EDIT : Professional building instruction available here : /EDIT Hi ! Here is my latest MOC : the UCS Slave 1 of Boba Fett. It has about 1050 parts. UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 by Anio, sur Flickr A few more pictures in my FlickR gallery. And a video of the final model : All comments are welcome.

Very nice model ! You captured the shape very well ! Thought, it is a little too big for my Executor.

Yes, it is not very strong. But the main problem was that I didn't even manage to join the 4 wings perfectly. So, I concluded that I had to build my ISD in another way. Well. Now, back to the Executor. It will be more interesting.

Yes. That is exactly my goal when I build a MOC.

Everybody can have his own definition. As far I'm concerned : - no modified parts - no glue - no illegal builds - no old colors such as light gray or dark gray (sometime I make exception, but it is very rare) - no old parts such as hinge 4275 or 4276 (these parts are not used anymore in today's sets)
