Posted October 9, 201410 yr I usually do not buy large LEGO sets, but I really liked the 75055 ISD and wanted to take a stab at MOCing the interior. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while but I finally got around to it. I first took out a lot of the interior guts, including the hook and middle support section. As you can see below, it holds up fine but doesn't necessarily seal as tightly as I remember. I tried a few layouts but settled on this SNOT'd version. The front section does have to come off to close the top completely. There's not too much to it, just a matter of designing the walls and workstations the way you want them. The real bridge on the top right in the picture below, connects and sits atop the SNOT'd floor, but it is not the best connection. It won't fall when assembled because the "cap" helps to hold it in place, but only 4 studs are connected to the ship below. There are not as many work stations as I had hoped to fit in there and I hadn't realized how few crewman hats I had. I didn't SNOT the floor because there is only so much vertical space because of the folding top. I did apply some of the stickers to 1x2x2 bricks rather than the slopes that came with the set. I also used dbg tiles instead of black for the other stickers just based on my supply. ISD - 5 - briefing by goatman461, on FlickrMy original plan was to recreate the bounty hunter scene from TESB, but, after piecing together all the bounty hunters based on some really great ideas other builders have had, I realized that this scene was on an SSD, which is why I was having so much trouble figuring out the correct layout of for the bridge crew. Either way, I wanted to share the bounty hunter collection. (I just realized that Zuckuss looks really happy to see Vader at this angle, oops). ISD - 6 - bounty hunters by goatman461, on FlickrI hope y'all enjoy it. I don't plan to keep the interior as is because I want to use the parts elsewhere and the original version works better for hanging/displaying the ISB when closed. So, I will likely put all the supports and the hook back in without the playset features. C&C are welcomed and appreciated. Edited October 29, 201410 yr by goatman461
October 9, 201410 yr Outstanding MOC indeed. I like the original shape there of the ISD, whilst including the bridge of ISD/SSD from the OT. Keep up the good work Goatm. Edited October 9, 201410 yr by AudiBobaR5-D2
October 9, 201410 yr Amazing MOD! I wish TLG had done this-yours is so much better than the original! Also, nice job on the purist bounty hunters!
October 9, 201410 yr Briiliant work! I like the new bridge and shape. Good thinking on the Bounty Hunter part. I myself would have never thought of it. Great work once again.
October 10, 201410 yr Nice. I like that you took some inspiration from the super star destroyer. Well done
