The Librarian Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I've had this model sitting around for a fair while and it's taking up a lot of space so I figured it was time to take some pictures and show it off. As well as I can, anyway - I did get some decent lighting this morning . . . only to find I'd photographed it with some bricks splitting in one of the tail fins. So . . . poor lighting for the intact shots. Ho hum. Enjoy regardless!

ToaDraco Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Awesome, well done! It looks nice and smooth with plenty of interior space. Excellent shaping overall. If I had one criticism it would be the interior colors. I'd recommend replacing the white with a different color, more grey may be too much so perhaps dark blue. The bright blue chairs also kind of stick out without that color appearing anywhere else in the moc to unify it. Perhaps black chairs might be a better option.

CF Mitch Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Wow, awesome Blackbird! You've recreated the form and shape perfectly, in my opinion! My only gripe is the windscreen color, but that's nothing more than personal taste, so don't pay too much attention to it And I do kind of agree with ToaDraco's interior color suggestions as well But it's cool that your Blackbird has this big an interior at all. Really, great job! Regards, Mitch Quote
The Librarian Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks for the comments, folks! The interior was supposed to be all white but I didn't have enough plates, so it ended up a mix of greys and white. The seats would either have been black or white had I but enough seats in either of those colours - turns out I have a surprisingly large number of blue seats. The canopy is orange for similar reasons - though while I do now own a trans-black version of that part, I felt that wouldn't stand out enough. I think I'd have preferred to do it in trans blue if I could. Anyway, thoughts to be considered the next time I build a Blackbird! Quote
mqbui1 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 This is incredible. Any chance you have an LDD file for this? I would love to build one and do a review on it. Thanks! Quote
terryfay1983 Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 really like this, managed to get the shape really well. great job :D Quote
Zed_43 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Wow!!! Nice blackbird. You manage to recreate the shapes of the aircraft really well. It looks awesome. Congrats! Quote
TheGreyPilgrim Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Very nicely done! I love the blackbird and you've created a fantastic replica. Keep up the good work. Quote
The Architect Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 This is beautiful! I'd love to see more from you! Quote
sander1992 Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 That looks massive and good. I do not mind the use of multiple colors in the interior. I think that white makes it a bit lighter and make the interior more visible. Quote
The Librarian Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks for the comments! Glad you all liked the model. No LDD file I'm afraid, mqbui1. I don't use it and rarely design things digitally anyway. Quote
Aethersprite Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Wow... This looks incredible! I love the sleek shaping, and the spacious interior. Well done! Quote
N_Cat Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 Holy cow. That's gorgeous. I love the exterior, and there's no need to change the windscreen color, because the trans-orange looks great. The interior already looks professional, so I don't think there's a need to change it, but you can if you want to. But don't change anything about the outside, because that beauty's perfect. Quote
TheBeeze Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 The ship looks great. I thought the mandalorian torsos were a nice touch from the movies. Quote
Sebiron Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 it remind me my favorite GI JOE toy : Quote
RM0B Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 That looks awesome, LEGO should make that. Quote
Colossus Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) That's a proper Blackbird! Thank you for posting these pics. Any chance that you could please post additional pics of the underside and aft from above and behind? I feel inspired to get back to finishing my Blackbird.
