I noticed on rebrickable none of the places have all the parts available. Are you guys just having to go through and manually check everything? You will probably find that you will have to buy the bricks from multiple sellers.......I like to place a bricklink order every week to keep momentum going. I just keep a spreadsheet to keep on top of parts required. Quote

Yep...the cheapest shop who nearly has got everything is about 2000€ I think (and there are still parts missing)!? But you will get the parts about 1300€ on bricklink (altogether). Today only a small update, book 8 "Tie Fighters & Probe Droids". Quote
legolijntje Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 You're making fast progress @bricksmarlin! Any problems with the instructions so far? Quote

Everything runs smoothly so far! I have to say that the aggressor from the construction side is the best thing I have seen so far! Absolutely unbelievable! And the instructions are also great! Sure there are a few moments where you must look exactly on which position the part belongs, but this is normal for a project of this scale! So everything was fine, you guys did an awesome job! All I can say is thank you again! 1 hour ago, Hunter003 said: Man i'm loving those probe droids Yes, they are awesome! (Hunter freu dich, das Ding ist der Wahnsinn...echt keine Worte!!!!) Quote
TyGl200 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I'm so ready to get the instructions now! I just need to gather the pieces. Its taken more time than I expected! Then again all I do is play Overwatch! Quote
TyGl200 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I challenge Rasko to build a Venator and Acclamator with instructions! He will make the Republic proud! Quote

Tavis75 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Hmm, interesting, re-brickable reckons I have 79% of the required parts (probably actually more than that, as I haven't added all my loose bricks and I know there's definitely some of the missing parts amongst them), though would mean taking apart a few sets that I don't really want to, but maybe with a bit of careful planning it could be possible to build this without too massive an expense.

I also can't help myself from checking over your work, just to see if I can spot anything out of place, but it looks like you've been very careful. Your extensive experience with building custom designs must be paying off :) Now I'm really looking forward to seeing the bottom panels attached...that's like the moment of truth. 12 hours ago, TyGl200 said: I challenge Rasko to build a Venator and Acclamator with instructions!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is a market out there for "plus sized" versions of a lot of Star Wars vehicles, it's just not something I think I can deliver unless I quit my day job. But hey, if I ever get disbarred and then have to make a choice between starting a LEGO business or working fast food, I'll try to hook you up :) Quote

I'm also looking forward to it! But as the rest is constructed, I'm pretty sure your solution will work! I have not reached my yesterday goal to finish the second book, I needed a break! Here some more pictures from the construction process! Edited August 30, 2017 by bricksmarlin Quote

Understandable, heh, it must feel like a marathon by now. Guessing from your pics, it looks like you're a fan of the canteen section. Quote

The attention to detail is just incredible. Every time I think it can not get any better, it does. I'm almost done with book 2, I will post some pictures soon! Quote
bricksmarlin Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Book 2 is finished, only book 5 is left now. Edited August 31, 2017 by bricksmarlin Quote
TyGl200 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Awesome! Cant belive how fast you are going! Edited August 31, 2017 by TyGl200 Quote
Markus85 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Great job!! Are the black stands included in the MOC or your own creation? Quote
bricksmarlin Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 They are a part of the construction and belong to the model! Quote
legolijntje Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 So... The new Millennium Falcon also has an interior (sort of). Would pair well with the ISD Quote
