Posted January 3, 20178 yr From the designer of the most famous AT-AT MOC comes a UCS Tie Defender. The MOC contains 1,676 pieces in total. Despite being a relatively simple design consisting of a base with 3 identical wings, the model itself does not disappoint in terms of both accuracy and detail. There is an instructions bundle available for this MOC which includes a 162 page pdf instruction manual, a parts list, and LDD files. All we ask is an exchange of 20 U.S Dollars ($20) for the entire bundle. For more details about purchasing the bundle, please either PM me or contact me at chrdvorak@hotmail.com via email. For the sticker, I recommend printing it at 122mm width by 61mm height after downloading the original file in the bundle. Here are some images from the manual that show the design and completed model: The Rebrickable listing will be approved soon for an easy to access parts list. Please use this topic to discuss anything about the MOC including the building process, questions, part substitutions, etc. Edited January 3, 20178 yr by Cjd223

January 3, 20178 yr That looks a sweet ship - may I ask what the windscreen/canopy piece is please? is it the same as the UCS Tie Advanced as that thing is crazy expensive and would be a killer to BL...

I believe it is the cockpit from the UCS Tie Advanced. Kind regards, Ellis

The piece shown in the first image is from the original design of the ship. Cavegod redesigned it to match the UCS Tie more closely and that expensive piece is no longer needed. The picture just above the sticker shows the new design.

January 4, 20178 yr I'm sure these instructions will be as good as the Nebulon-B however this ship is not my cup of tea so will pass. I do wonder if Cavegod has anything new in the works as both the AT-AT and this ship are several years old already. Looking forward to future builds (and instructions)!
January 4, 20178 yr I currently have about 70% of the Sandcrawler in built in ldd including interior and pf functions. not everyones cup of tea but currently 9000+ pieces.

January 5, 20178 yr As Shaggy would say.. "Zoinks!" Thanks for sharing and I am looking for photos of the completed project. (Better add 1x2 plates to my next LB order!)

January 12, 20178 yr Sweet looking ship! I'm personally a big fan of the TIE Defender's design. Wedge: "Look at the size of that thing!"
