(LDD MOD) UCS Star Destroyer

[NNOPMOC]

They both look fantastic.

I'm currently selling a set of Stormtrooper Armour to fund my MOC habit (I was always too tall for it anyway) and a reworked Star Destroyer was always on my 'to-do' list, but at this scale I'd find it very hard to improve on what AitR and took9 have built here. *Hat-tip*

First post since joining (2yrs ago) to thank you for making this LDD file available.

I will never have the space to display a full ISD but I was thinking of building just the top half (from the greebles on up) and hanging it on the wall...

The engines would be the biggest challenge whatever version I built, but I think apart from the dishes yours is pretty close to the most MODdable to meet my needs. Some day I may even start that project...

Great work!

Fantastic model!!

Is there any way, how to get list of bricks, which are needed to build this model?

Thanks!

I believe you can get a list via LDD manager Maltik :)

a reworked Star Destroyer was always on my 'to-do' list

That's my current project. I'm working on a MOC Star Destroyer that's larger than the UCS but I keep running into problems. The UCS Star Destroyer seems to have been a revolutionary set when it came out but I can't help thinking that with new pieces and better building techniques someone could do a lot better, today. The mods to the UCS in this thread do look great, though, and correct some of the most important issues with the set. The angles of the bridge on the set always stuck out to me, and the OP's mods fix that quite well.

I have tried to do that through LDD, but I couldn't find any option how to do it. =/

By the way any of you have problem with generating building guide? It always freeze at around 25%.

Looks good. Cant wait to see! Maybe ill do this to my own

Very nice one and thank you for the LDD.

Hello,

Is there any other way to get the part list? My access doesn't allow LDD manager to run and also I can't generate the instructions using LDD.

Any advice?

I'm a new guy, pretty much inexperienced at LDD stuffs.

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat you are (at least in terms of knowledge of LDD and whatnot), so there may be other options.  However:

http://www.brickulus.com

It allows you to upload a LXF file and it will generate a parts list (with corresponding bricklink parts codes).  Note that several items are not translating from LDD to BL for some reason, so you'll have to go into LDD and put that part number into the search box to see what it is.  I've only tested it with the text output (Simple List) so I can't comment on how useful the other formats are.

Great! It sure looks like it's gonna take quite a while, but I'll definitely give it a shot since it's probably the only solution right now. Thanks so much! :)

I tested it and it worked great! Thanks a lot! Only many a few parts are listed as "Unknown" and have to be searched on LDD but most of them share the same design number with BL. I also used the "Simple list", I guess the name speaks for itself. 

All that matters now is that I must generate the instructions, which will probably take quite a while.

Anyway, thanks a lot! :)

Hello VuHoang, no need to generate instructions as it shares most of the construction elements with the official 10030 set, you can download the instructions from Lego's site :)

I've tried Blueprint to generate the "rough" íntructions (still can't generate it in step-by-step due to Java heap space) combined with part list from Brickulus to find out that you don't use magnets anymore. That's great news to me because magnets are ridiculously expensive right now. 

And because of that, I've spent the last few hours digging through my inventory trying to get as many parts as possible. The only matter now is that I get the exact instruction for this. As much as I love the 10030 by TLC, your design is the one I love most. :D 

The road to get the proper instruction will be difficult, mostly because my Java keeps alerting me of malfunctions from time to time. 

Thank you for your answer! :)

It's beautiful.

I'm trying to resist the urge to start a new Bricklink list for this. By "resist the urge" what I actually mean is patiently waiting to see if TLG give us a ISD for the 40th Anni. At least if they don't I have the option of building this stunner. Cheers mate :)
