This month, i´m going to buy one of the new sets of the summer wave. My options are the Sailbarge or the Gunship. I don´t have any of their older version. Sailbarge: + I don´t have the Jabba´s Palace, so, I could get the new Jabba. +I have the Sarlacc and the Desert Skiff of the 2012. This set it´s great to make the entire scene. +Mythical escene and mythical vehicle +A lot, A LOT, of brown bricks. -The design it´s a little "meh" (the cannon...). -Plastic sunshades Gunship +Minifigs of Anakin and Obi Wan o the Ep.II +Really cool design +I like the Episode II (ok, it´s the worst movie, but I like it, specially Geonosis part) -Not so mythical or important vehicle. My conclusion is that the gunship is a coolest than the sailbarge, but the sailbarge, it´s from the OT, and Jabba, and the sarlacc scene....

Congratulatios for the Curiosity, and nothing yet about the Delorean

(Mark2 because it´s the second one I build, but it´s the same ship). Some months ago, I build a MF: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80957 I was glad with the final model but the caonstruction was, in my opinion, very stupid. Just joining bricks without rhyme or reason. Now, I want to do something more consistent, and solid. Like with the other, I will post the construction process, like some sort of instructions. Day 1: The yellow circle isn´t definitive, of course. I ordered 8 grey bows from pick&brick, but you can have an idea. The lower part, with the hole for the landing gear. Lateral view:

The Snowspeeder: It´s the same version sice 1999. Very poor and nothing correct in the cockpit and teh front part. The X-wing: Still using the Y-Wing windscreen, but it has some importante upgrades since 1999. The Millenium Falcon: A giant cockpit and a little disproportionated, in all version. But for a system set, it´s ok.

In the czech forum, they posted this pic: http://www.kostky.or...89367#msg189367 I built a lot of 10-12 stud-wide cars and I´m sure this is going to the Delorean, in the scale of the Ferrari F430 (set 8671). This is not for Endor. EDIT: Owned. Looking the FBTB pics, they used those bricks.

You can upload the pics on photobucket/flickr/... and post it here directly. PS: Welcome!

Well, there is a lot of MOC´s of this car. Even I did some versions in different scale. Now I built a new one, in 1/18 scaled. I´m my opinion, this is best Batmobile ever. I have read tons of Batman comics, and it´s hard to me to imagine a superhero watching the city in a gaudy supercar. Central cockpit Working suspension And my favourite gadget, the openable roof: You can compare the dimensions with this blueprints, I tried to follow it as much as possible: http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints-depot/cars/variouscars/tumbler-batmobile.gif Well, that´s all. Sorry abour the quality of the pics, but it´s hard to photograph a totally black MOC. The gallery on brickshelf, in full resolution: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=529093

This is what I though, but, it seems something very "big".

Thanks! I was thinking to build a scenary of the trench run, but it must so big. Impossible to me right now.

Hi, Well, the title says everything, the Vader´s Tie. I have a MOC X-wing and I wanted to build the antagonist to the starfighter. I used black/grey levers to simulate the symbol of the Empire. Full detailed interior The Force is strong with this one! (I used a trans green antenna to make the laser) I used this Hasbro set to compare the size of the fighters The gallery on brickshelf, in full resolution: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=528475

After this review, I´m not convinced to not buy this UCS. It´s a iconic fighter, yes, but it has some several mistakes, like the cokcpit, the small engines or the minfig R2 (instead a 4x4 dome, like the UCS 10215). Maybe, it´s bad that I say this, but I prefer my moc (http://www.eurobrick...76#entry1549703), but bigger. It´s a very "system" contruction, I was hoping some more "agressive" construction techniques. And all the stickers...

On Brickpedia, I have found that there is two versions of "Luke Celebration", but I'm not finding the minifig.

I recently bought the Characters Encyclopedia and the Visual Dictionary (cool books and minifigs, by the way), but, I remember seeing a Luke Celebration minifig without the gold medal. Does this exist or it's just a wrong remember (or a modified minifig, or...)? I saw this in a pic on internet, but I found nothing on brickset, only with gold medal. Thank!

I´m poor (as poor a possible for being a AFOL xd) No, I only built what you see. _________________- Finally, I disassembled the MOC. So much things on mind...

I´m thinking of disassemble. I want to built other stuff, this is cool, but... I have used too bricks here.

What do we know about de Delorean?

Big update

No idea, I just found it on google images.

Do you mean the 8x8 circles? It´s circles.

What do you mean?

Moar pics!!! And a question: I planning to use the 7965 cockpit, because it´s easy to use and has a perfect size. But, I could build the UCS version (I did this before: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/hachiroku/7965-mod-ucs/img_20130202_220449.jpg) and put this one. What do you think?

New pics.

The most difficult part is being the central. It will have to resist all the lateral stress, must be light and strong.

Yes. I want to do something like the interior of 7965. Maybe more detailed, but something like that.

After I built my own X-Wing, I have decided to build the most iconic spaceship (well, the X-Wing is a starfighter, tecnically, they are not in the same category). This is something I though a lot of time, trying some structures but nothing stable. Today, I tarted with a mix between the 7965 and the UCS version. Actually, I think that UCS is larger than it should be, let use maths: 7965 is 38,72cm length 10179 is around 84cm length According to wookipedia, the MF is 34,37m length. So assuming that a minifig (4cm) is around a 1,80m (let´s use a escale "Han Solo minifig-Harrison Ford human being"), let´s make a simply relation: 34,37/1,8=X/0,04; X= 0,76m=76cm Then, a perfect minifg escaled MF should be between the UCS and the latest System version. I won't be totally appointed to these measures, but my MOC wil be around the 70cm. Well, today I built part of the base, it´s 40cm length. As you can see, I mxed techniques from 10179 and 7965. Day 2: And it´s swoosheable!! (but is heavy, not a good idea) Day 3 Day 4 I built this to simulate the hidraulics: Day 5 The turret screen, and some more bricks: And, now, one of the iconic part: The radar dish Day 6 More work on rear side, but nothing finished. Day 7 There is left some detailes, like the interior cockpit and some interior parts, bur it´s almost finished: I improved the radar place. I used the 4x4 circle plate as base.
