    Thank you for responding. I'm less concerned about the budget honestly. Has anyone compared the two side by side?

    I've been wanting to build this ship for some time. I even collected everything for Annio's version from way back. But I think the new UCS set and Thire5's MOC are more my style, and they're both the same scale. Between the two, knowing I can mod the UCS a bit, which model would you choose and why? VS
  3. phaelon started following [MOC] Vigilance - Venator class-star destroyer , [MOC] ISD Chimaera , [MOC/Instruction] Star Destroyer Chronicle and 7 others

    For those of you asking about an ISD on this scale, @SirCharles1977 created the Intimidator years ago that scales nicely with this MOC. Link to thread

    Also, if you don't like the new UCS Venator, there's also the @thire5 MOC which comes in just slightly longer by 2 cm.

    It was sheer luck that I even noticed. I have a spreadsheet I built years ago that has capital ship lengths and will calculate stud count and scale length based on a manually input ratio. I had been looking at the new Venator and reversed out the scale based on that model's publish dimensions. That changed all the other calculations including the ISD, which went to 59.5 inches. When I came across your post yesterday I saw that exact number again in your dimensions, and it just clicked. Strange how that stuff works out, especially since you designed yours so long ago! Anyway, I'm a huge fan of the Eviscerator and was about to start that build when I came across the Intimidator. Now that the Venator is here and looks so good, it has me leaning heavily towards your design. Have you updated or revisited this beast over the years? And PLEASE let us know if you do build the UCS set with it. I'm dying to see how these two look together.

    Okay, I'm going to resurrect this thread for a very important reason. Specifically because the Venator (UCS 75367) has been released. Why is that important / relevant? SCALE The new Venator is exactly the same scale as the Intimidator that @SirCharles1977 so cleverly designed for us years ago. Here's the math: Venator (length) Lore: 1137 m Lego UCS: 109 cm Scale: 108 cm @ 1:1056 Intimidator ISD (length) Lore: 1600 m Lego MOC: 59.5 in (from initial post), 151 cm Scale: 151 cm @ 1:1056 So here's the question... who will accept the challenge of building both and showing them side by side at the same scale?

    Kris, these instructions are PHENOMENAL!!! Besides the incredibly high quality renderings, complete with highlights and shadowing, the red wireframe around each new connection on every single step is just... no wonder this took so long for you to put together! I haven't even begun to bricklink, but I just wanted to say these instructions are amazing. GREAT WORK!
  9. phaelon
    So super excited for this! Great job Kris! Email sent.

    The problem with the actual scales of ships in the SW universe is the wide range. It makes it difficult to accurately portray them next to each other when they can be 10 times or 100 times bigger than other "common" ships that you still want to show detail. I always considered the Lucrehulks to be the Death Stars of the First Trilogy, in that they were unevenly massive compared to all other ships of the era. Obviously the actual Death Star is a small moon (well, no moon, but still) in size, so it easily dwarfs everything else by orders of magnitude. But even the SSD designs suffer because of how huge they have to be to show even the slightest detail on accompanying ISDs.

    I just reread this post, and wanted to give you some numbers. From my (old) post about various ships in this scale, the Lucrehulk-class Battleship would be 147 studs in length and almost as wide, since it's essentially a giant circle. I think that would be an awesome build, but as you said, definitely large at 117cm (46 in).
  12. phaelon
    This is just so thrilling. Thanks for the update Kris!
  13. phaelon
    Thanks for posting this and going through the trouble of putting it on rebrickable. I love the design!
  14. phaelon
    As bad as 10221 is, I think 10143 Death Star II takes the cake for the most unstable stand design for a UCS set. Glad to know this set doesn't suffer from the same issue.
  15. phaelon
    Good to know. And thanks for all your hard work on it! Looking forward to your reveal! Hopefully all the parts you used are still available if you decide to sell instructions. :)

    So 10030 is on its way to a new owner. I am now committed to @Raskolnikov's Aggressor because I cannot be without an ISD in my collection. I think 10143 and 10221 will be the next victims. Thanks to everyone for the feedback and advice. It's been very helpful in my decision making.
