I meant that the wings seemed a little too short, not that the underside of the wings showed. Quote

Ellisss_2 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 @Cult_Of_Skaro I agree it is disappointing that the bottom of the plates show in flight mode. I was initially going to build the wings with solid bricks, but decided they would be too heavy to support. @VaderFan2187 The wings are definitely too short, I have just realised after looking at some pictures. I will get it sorted don't worry! Kind regards, Ellis. Quote

Kristof Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Ho for brick built wings. This scalle definitely gives you enough room for that, It will ultimately be better than plates, I'm sure. The underside is simply to prominent here. Quote
La Chupacabra Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Try to build wings with 10212 method. Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 @krisandkris12 I'm going to build brickbuilt wings now! @La Chupacabra How could I have been so stupid to forget this! Thank you very much! Kind regards, Ellis. Quote
RexExLiberi Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Loved the ship in the movie and can't wait to see your model complete! Actually I am also planning to give this a shot.. Out of curiosity are you basing yours off this version: Spoiler or this version: Spoiler Edited January 2, 2017 by RexExLiberi Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) @RexExLiberi My model is based on this version of the transport shuttle where the cargo bay is fixed. Kind regards, Ellis. Edited January 2, 2017 by Ellisss_2 Quote

I apologise maybe I have not made myself clear in my previous post, but the two images show completely different structures: The first one shows the that the cargo section (orange) is detachable and therefore separate from the interior of the ship, while the second image clearly show that the interior of the ship extends inside the cargo area meaning that the two images are incompatible... I was simply wondering which one of the two you were planning/have already followed with your model. Quote

To be honest I would love to stick to the first version, I really like the idea that the cargo can be dropped off, it makes much more sense to me this way as a design. On the other hand I would like to make it accurate and the first version just doesn't allow for the interior seen in the movie.. It's a tough call, I'll have to think about it.. that said, I'm leaning towards the latter at the moment. Edited January 2, 2017 by RexExLiberi Quote

However like you said there are no interior pictures or scenes if the interior for that version. Kind regards, Ellis. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 OH, so THAT'S why some of these MOCs are light grey! Because the first one IS light grey! [Insert lightbulb here] ;) Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 I have started creating the mechanism to move the wings from flight mode to landing mode. Please bear in mind this is my first attempt at building a technic structure. The mechanism is taken from 10212 with small modifications. Look ok, @nerdsforprez? Kind regards, Ellis. Quote
nerdsforprez Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Lol..... yes. Good eye here. Looks like it should work. Funny.... I think 10212 is a template for how a lot of these newer ships can work. I applied the mechanism, or at least much of the parts list from the 10212 to a WIP for a UCS-type Technic version of the U-Wing. Here the mechanism is being applied, and much of the parts, from 10212 to this build, AND.... I have been thinking, if TLG wanted to do a UCS version of Krennic's Imperial shuttle I am sure it would be very close to the same parts list of the 10212...... just in black. Would be an easy set for TLG to produce. 10212 is appearing more and more versatile as the Star Wars Series line continues on...... Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I have completed the wings, just the top deck to do now. These wings definitely suit the model better than the plated ones and they have a mechanism to move, win-win I guess. Hope you guys like them! They are stuck in this position unless I build the model with real bricks. LDD is such a pain for gears, I can't move them but they are taken straight out of TLG's 10212 so the mechanism should work. We're at 1857 bricks currently. Kind regards, Ellis. Edited January 3, 2017 by Ellisss_2 Quote
Cult_Of_Skaro Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Wings look lovely, great job! I might have a go at building this IRL when you finish. Quote
mrcngrck Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I'm so impressed! great work you've done here! Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 @La Chupacabra @mrcngrck Thank you very much! @Cult_Of_Skaro I would really appreciate it if you built this! Kind regards, Ellis. Quote
