I love your A-Wing and your Snowspeeder ! They really look like mini UCS ! I remember someone did a very similar blue A-Wing. Maybe it was you. ^^

Five months ago, I wrote that : So, here it is ! I still need some parts. But nothing very important. I assume that many people plan to reproduce it. Here is the partlist : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=367175 And the instruction should be available very soon.

I love all of these maquettes !

If the excavator uses 3 channels, it won't work well with the 8275.

Don't worry, here they are (I had saved the images on my laptop) : I agree with Zbjl's comment. Otherwise : For the tracks of the excavator : is it a tan 20t does we can see on the chassis ? EDIT : on the box, it seems there are arrows to drive the model. /EDIT No motor on the mobile crane ! That's good ! Like the models in the 90's ! :p I just hop it is not a 8295 like. -_- The Ampliroll truck : only 2 features (steering and dumper) ? But the design seems to be very nice ! PS : sorry for the mistakes in my post. :-s

If all of it is true, it will probably be a great set. :) It were even better if tracks were motorized (with a subtractor ).

Strange. Pithivier is French and so he is on my forum. He presented us his Case Excavator. But he didn't told us that TLG hired him. I will contact him. :) edit : done. I keep you informed.

On my website I've got the 3 books. And none of them is a scan. http://www.setechnic.com/notice-8285-P.html I Hope it helps you.

I like it ! Is there any vehicle (car, truck, dragster, or anything else) which have that kind of engine ?

IMO, the MF 10179 is UCS, and the DS is a big play set.

It is a play set, don't you think ?

Good idea. :) Otherwise, you give it for free. And you write in the instruction that you spent a lot of time to do it. So, you would appreciate to get a "reward" with your paypal account. People give what they want. So, everybody can get it. And those who think that this work deserve a "reward" can give some money. For example, 2 years ago I built the FSB002. Instruction was free. I was willing to give money to Fivestarbrick (the one who did the instruction). Unfortunately, I never managed to contact him. I think it is a good compromise.

But I think that the one who do an instruction should be glad to give it. It is sad to see that today we have to pay for everything we get. :(

Yeah, but this kind of request is just stupid. You can ask to have fair prices (example : on Klocki : right prices for right builders), but it is nonsense to ask a 10179 for $20. -_- That is your honor. But if it becomes a financial problem, just don't do it anymore ! ;) Moreover, it does not concern me, but it is hard to believe that you have financial problems with the large quantity of sets you have (all the Technic sets, I guess it worth more than $10000). ;) That means that if you have money you have time, and if you don't have money, you don't have time. Strange, isn't it ? ;) You get recognition. By far the most important, IMO.

Absolutely right ! I designed two UCS MOCs. I spent many hours. Oxycrest, a friend, spent at least twice as much time to make a professional intructions : his instructions are like TLG's one. And we never have had the idea to force people to pay to get these instructions... (we haven't even discuss about this possibility) I really can't understand... Unless you prefer money than recognition... That's just sad...

OMFG !! People have to pay to get the instructions... ??!? @_@ Lego community is strange...

Sorry but... what is it ?!

EB is a forum about Lego. Were are the Lego in the mechanism of your AT-TE ? O_o

I apologize in advance for the "spam", but it will be available on my website for a while ( http://www.setechnic.com/notice-ST01-P.html ).

I'm very happy to see your reproduction ! And thanks for all your compliments. I am very flattered. edit : I told Oxycrest you reproduced the TIE with his building instruction. He was very happy, and he thanks you for building it. ;)

Something interesting for the MOCers : the new tile 2x4. :) edit : actually, it is not a new part. Sorry.

Here is my answer to the question asked in the thread : Why don't you build it yourself ? O_o Moreover, 5 MF in 10 years (7190, 4504, 4488, 7778, 10179), with various sizes, isn't it enough ? edit : I love 7778 too. It looks like a mini UCS.

EDIT : Professional building instruction available here : You can email me at setechnic@gmail.com /EDIT Hello there ! Let me show you my UCS Venator ! It is a 5400 part model. UCS Venator Star Destroyer by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Venator Star Destroyer by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Venator Star Destroyer by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Venator Star Destroyer by Anio, sur Flickr It was a very difficult design process. You can see the modularity of the build with those pictures : Brickshelf gallery : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=422392 FlickR gallery : For the instruction, it is here : Hope you like it as much as I do. :) Here are some videos. The first is mine. Then some are reviews made by Lego fans who reproduced the model.
