May 30, 20177 yr Your MOC is amazing, I'd like to purchase the instructions from you, how would I go about getting them?
June 3, 20177 yr Author Wow, awesome to see it take shape! Hope you found the build straightforward. Your model is actually more optimised than mine is, since I still have substitutions in place. I tore it down last night and set about configuring it to my own instructions. I originally had the cockpit Mixel ball-joints higher up. I lowered them to give clearance for the front seats, so you might have to occasionally level out the cockpit sides. I found a small optional improvement that can be made to the wings (stage 40). On pages 525 and 631, either: a) slide a 7L technic axle behind the 3L technic pin (blue) b) replace the 3L technic pin with a 10L technic axle Oh, and take the opportunity now to swoosh it around  it becomes much harder once the wings are on!Â
June 3, 20177 yr @Renegade Clone Yes I did. To be honest it is an absolute joy to build this ship! The instructions are great, the model is super sturdy and everything is really straightforward! Edited June 6, 20177 yr by bricksmarlin
June 4, 20177 yr Going to be building this soon. I'm getting all the parts before I buy the instructions, I'm going through my own parts first, I think I'm gonna substitute the red skeleton pieces for different colours. Great model, can't wait to build it -rogueÂ
June 5, 20177 yr Done! Have just mounted the wings, and what should I say? Just awesome! As mentioned before, great model, great instruction, fun to build and no problem at all! So thank you again to Renegade Clone for this fantastic work! http://www.imperiumdersteine.de/index.php?/gallery/album/6685-zeta-class-shuttle/ Edited August 9, 20177 yr by bricksmarlin
June 6, 20177 yr Author A quick one-piece change, alerted to me by @bricksmarlin: On page: 758 - change the 1x10 plate for a 1x6 plate. 759 - ignore the (x2) 1x2 plates. That will make the topside panels line up properly, as they were in my original build. The free-sitting panels are intended to make it easier to access the interior without disrupting the wings.Â
July 13, 20177 yr I just bough the instructions and I am going to build this one! First, sorting out the parts I already have. I will report again later.  Has anyone tried building a detachable container? any difficulties encountered, or any reason why not? Edited July 13, 20177 yr by legocharles
August 6, 20177 yr Hey everyone, i just received the instructions and have already ordered 39% of the parts :D will let you know how i get on with the build.Â
August 7, 20177 yr Have all but 1 order. Last one is taking it's sweet time. Unfortunately, it has a lot of the parts for the beginning of the build so I can't get started just yet

August 9, 20177 yr This is my first MOC as well. I have used bricklink for my UCS millennium Falcon, and UCS X-Wing (practice for the Falcon)Â

August 18, 20177 yr I have all the pieces and I'm still only about halfway to finishing it (some personal things are happening alongside this), and this thing is huge, it's like, around the same length as the 10179 falcon. It's so far been a really fun build.Â
August 25, 20177 yr This is an excellent model you have created and it really captures the look and feel of the ship from the film. I am definitely interested in purchasing instructions, and I'm hoping I can contact you soon to get them.Â
