Chrome Bricks

Cool, looking forward to that!

Truly marvelous build, well done!

Interesting, will attempt to edit pics with Preview ASAP, freebuilds are waiting to be built, know what I'm saying? Thanks Cody! Excellent, thanks for clarifying things and the suggestions, BEAVeR!

Is this technique specific to LDD or Windows? I'm running on Mac, and I wanted to take a photo rather than a screenshot, so I don't have any clue to what you're saying, sorry... Nonetheless, thanks for replying @VaderFan2187.

I can take the pic, but I can't resize it to that square profile pic type image. Also, should I use the signature thingy even though I'm not the player index?

Thanks @Zaael! I'm really excited to serve the Rebellion along your side. Yeah, gotta read that Core Rules topic ASAP, will do! I already got some freebuilds underway, so I'll post them later. As for the sigfig though, I'm having some trouble with the pictures...got any tips? Long live the Rebel Alliance!

I would like to join the Rebellion as a pilot, gimme a fleshy guy, I'll provide a sigfig soon enough. Could I just be called Chrome? It seems more reasonable. Also, I got a few questions, if you don't mind: Since Ep. XIII is done (I think), what can I still post until Ep. XIV starts, and when will it start? Also, (this might seem a little stupid, but...) do the freebuilds necessarily have to be built from scratch models, or can they be modified official sets? Custom ships would qualify as "non-purist", right?

I think VaderFan2187's idea would work well and wouldn't take up much space leaving more room for the bomb port. LOL I only saw it now on the first pic oops

Awesome build, this would make an amazing addition to your fleet over on Flickr. Great job, keep it up with the amazing work!

Simply mind-blowing! The sheer size of this is amazing!!! Congratulations, my friend, the Alliance should give a medal!!! How long did it take you to build this?

Looks promising, but I still think it looks similar to the official LEGO release. (please take this as constructive criticism, not as an offense) Could I suggest making a bomb mechanism in the center? I was going through research and I found that some TIE Strikers are produced with bomb ports loaded with proton bombs or mines, and were operated by a forward-facing gunner or bombardier where the cargo area on the official LEGO release would be. Take a look at Star Wars Explained's video where he shows this:

Very interesting build, very nice looking. Good job!

And that is according to...? (sources please)

Did you ever see any information regarding minifigs supposedly included in 75179? I never heard anything. And that, my friends, is why it still makes makes sense that LEGO could release a Yavin 4 Rebel Base/Hangar set this year for May the 4th, which would be pretty cool, IMO. Personally, I'm not hyped for that Snowspeeder too. Heck, we only got pictures from the Assault on Hoth set last year only a few weeks before it was set for sale. But following the same logic, the Millennium Falcon rumor does get more support, even though we already got one, and, honestly, I don't think we need one. Like @Deathstroke77 said, their are a lot of untapped possibilities for UCS sets that LEGO hasn't explored.

Excellent work! Since the cockpit fits 2 pilots, I'm pretty sure this thing is actually minifig-scale. The detailing here is quite impressive, well done! If it is of any help, the official U-Wing description says the ship is designed to carry up to 2 pilots and 8 soldiers. Here are some reference pics for comparison, if anyone needs them for future suggestions. Keep up the good work, @Ellisss_2!
