That's a fantastic MOC! I love the... eh... brown plates behind the dewback

What a great model! I've just given my support. :-)

Edit: Never mind, I thought the photos on page 1 were deleted, but it seems Brickshelf is down in its entirety...

Although I don't think a Falcon this size is feasible, if you really want to give it a try I would definitely start with the internal framework and then work my way out - there's no point in designing landing gear if you don't know whether they will hold the immense weight of the ship.

True, but you could integrate a few http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=87087 or http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=11211 in your floor, so you have some studs on top...

I loved Lego when I was a kid, but I started pursuing other hobbies when I was 12. After more than fifteen I have recently gotten into Lego again and one of the first things I noticed is that a few colors appear to come in several different shades. When I studied the parts for my Super Star Destroyer (10221) and the BrickLink orders that recently arrived I noticed several different shades of light bluish grey and dark bluish grey. They came straight out of the box, so I assume they haven't been exposed to sunlight, and I haven't accidentally mixed them up with old grey parts. I assume the batches of paint Lego uses are not all identical. How hard can it be to do a quality check on paint? I mean, the different is quite noticeable if you ask me. I don't recall this being an issue two decades ago. Then again, I was just a child at the time. Am I the only bothered by this? I'm actually considering replacing some parts via BrickLink (and then I will just have to hope that I will receive the proper shade)...

Great little ship, it looks awesome!

Beautiful! I love the texture of the walls.

Great MOC! The water looks fantastic.

I love all the different angles on the shack and the rocks. Great job.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

What a lovely model. I'll definitely get this once it's available for purchase.

Thanks Jerac. I can imagine that certain problems arise during real-life construction that wouldn't have appeared in LDD, given the software's unavoidable but inherent shortcomings such as ignoring the effects of gravity. Once again, you did a terrific job. I'd love to design and build something like this some day.
