Future Star Wars Sets

[Praiter Yed]

Yeah sorry about that. Although its snowing where I am so I may give it another shot. But does anyone know what size the green baseplate is? Is the whole thing symmetrical? Should it be dark bley or cream like it is in this model (yeah I dont know my star wars to well and wookieepedia didnt help)?

Thanks, CB

There's a clearer picture below. It looks like more than one green baseplate to me + I think it would be symmetrical apart from the tower you can see (top right of image). I always think of the Yavin base being grey - possibly a mixture of bley & dark bley BUT on some images it does look tan. Try Googling Massassi Temple.

Thanks Praiter Yed. I think I will make it cream but change it later. Also from what I can see it is symmetrical like you said. Im going to go with the green bit being 3 base plates long and the grey being two (large baseplates).

Thanks, CB

Edit: any idea what's in the other room oposite from the one with the rebels and screen? Im stuck on that.

I think you'll just have to leave it empty. When you say cream, you mean standard tan, right?

Yeah I mean tan, silly me . I'm about half way through but am stuck on the angled sections I cant work out the finer details, can anyone help?

Thanks, CB

Edit: here I am so far

I'd make it into the War Room - good luck finding images though - you might have to watch ANH for reference. But that would be a pleasure of course

EDIT: Looking good so far! I'm not sure what you mean by 'the finer details'

Thanks Praiter Yed. Yes, I was thinking about a war room. Well I know what i'm going to spent tonight doing (No not that I mean re-watching a new hope). What does everyone think so far?

Thanks, CB

Edit: I mean i cant get the angles right in the angled wall section (if that makes sense) at the back as there aren't any pic of it .

I think it looks good. Have fun watching AnH!

Thanks, I will try to.

Anyone want to make the mini/midi x-wing? Because I dont think I will be up for it when I have finished the model .

Thanks, CB

Edit: progress

Hope you like it

I like it. IMO this deserves it's own thread as a LDD MOC. There's probably lots of LSW fans who've seen the sketch in the visual dictionary and might miss it tucked away here in 'Future Star Wars Sets'. Plus if you're willing to share you're LDD file some might want to have a go at building it.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks I'm almost done. Maybe another 30mins of building. But yeah when im done I will make a topic of it in the ldd forum so watch this space . Of course im willing to share my ldd file, I would love someone to make it for real. But I may take longer.

Sounds good. Can't wait to see it finished. Funny how we're treating this like a WIP MOC, when you're just reverse engineering a prototype for the first time.

Thanks very much. I've just got the watch tower left done (Yeah I know I said I would be quicker but I had computer problems ) apart from the midi x-wing. Thanks for being so patient guys. Should have a review up soon.

Thanks, CB

Okay, back on topic! (I think)

Since ROTS came out, I've been wanting a UCS Venator, about the size of the ISD (or bigger ).

I also thought of a new theme of sets that are smaller, very detailed, but not too playable. Kind of like the UCS sets, but much smaller and more affordable. Something like all the AT-RT's on here. Maybe there could be one every wave, or every year, like the midi sets. I also think these sets could be minifigure scale. They could make a swamp speeder, a crab droid, a BARC speeder, a 74-z speeder, a dwarf spider droid, or things like that.

Of course I don't know how successful this would be - it probably wouldn't be. A penny for your thoughts? (by the way, my thoughts are $1.49 each, plus tax )

It'd be quite expensive, we're talking around UCS MF expensive if you want it bigger that the UCS ISD and adding the increased prices. And neither of the big UCS sets (ISD, DS2) sold well, so I doubt TLG would try it again.

My thoughts are 10 parts per dollar plus shipping and handling.

Well the Imperial Shuttle was almost 10 cents per piece, take away the figures and it would be. And that has almost as many pieces as the ISD. Although I think that if a Venator is as big as an ISD, then it would have more pieces. I just want an accurate Venator, I guess. (my 8039 was spare parts after a week )

Actually at the same length I think the Venator would use less pieces, since it's skinnier, has cuttouts on the sides, and has a smaller bridge; but since I think dk. red costs more tham light grey the prices would even out. I would like the two to be to-scale, which would probably put the Venator at $250-$275.

You could very easily make your own UCS Venator, but you will need plenty of time and bricks to be able to complete it. And then you need to make the card for it. After all, every UCS set has one.

Certainly wouldn't be the first to do that. We're discussing wanting it as a future set, since that is the purpose of this thread. Personally I don't build much over 2 feet long, so a UCS Venator might work well for me.

It would probably be a similar build to the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer and use a similar amount of pieces. It would be an interesting sight to see when you think about it.

How did you make that image? (more specifically, the image of the ship behind the words)

[Brickdoctor]

I did one before just to try, it basically amounts to using a photo editor to create an outline of the MOC, use curves and levels to recolor it, and turn everything other than the outline black or transparent for pasting onto black.

The cutouts are what I refer to. It would take more bricks to make those.

But since the Venator is skinnier than the ISD, it'd be like cutting out a portion of the ISD, using the bricks saved from the VSD being skinnier to cover up the cutout, and saving whatever pieces are left over from the cutouts and skinnier profile. I guess it would even out if you want a dorsal landing bay.

[Lord Embo]

Why don't they make a set based on that vehicle that Cad Bane and Todo 360 used to get through the swamps as they hunted for Ziro?

Minifigs: Cad Bane and Todo 360.

Also includes a swamp-coloured baseplate with swamp in the middle and land at the sides of it.

Sorry if this idea is rather unclear. I'll just call it a Swamp Skier instead.
