Hi,

I present you my version of the suttle of Kylo Ren.

It's not an UCS (some details are differents) but it correspond to the idea that I have of this ship : a black shadow.

I kept the sytem to open the cockpit at the front and the back, but I didn't worked inside yet. At the begining, wings could be vertical, but considering the weight of wings, I have to change and they are fixed (but it's only to display in my dedicated room)

Wow, awesome build here this looks super clean, great contrast between snot and studs!

Ellis.

Wonderful build well done my friend. Love the total black look. 

The wings seem to bend from the pics. Or is just me?

Magnifique construction bien fait mon ami. Aimez le look noir total. 

Les ailes semblent se plier des photos. Ou est-ce juste moi?

Thanks,

No, Perhaps some plates are misplaced after moving for the pictures. At the begining wings bent, but after, I used a structure in technic bricks avoid it.

This is by far the best rendition of the shuttle that I've seen. It's absolutely beautiful.

Very nice ...this is a real black shadow!

I like the trans-red front windows and the powerful reactors!

This is nothing short of stunning! Awesome work.

That looks really sleek. I love the cabin section it almost looks like a living being. 

How many parts are holding the wings at that angle? Do you think they may warp after  while?

Regardless, it looks fantastic, you should try to post how you did it. I am sure some folks will like to homage this build.

Cela semble vraiment élégant. J'aime la section de la cabine, il ressemble presque à un être vivant. 

Combien de pièces maintiennent les ailes à cet angle? Pensez-vous qu'ils peuvent se déformer après?

Quoi qu'il en soit, il semble fantastique, vous devriez essayer de poster comment vous l'avez fait. Je suis sûr que certaines personnes aimeront rendre hommage à cette construction. 

Thanks,

Sorry for my description, my english is bad.

For one wing, there is two liftarm and two liftarm bent, firmly attached on the wing (and a technic brick strucure inside the wing) and on the cockpit.

I think that it is sustainable, because I can take the ship by the wing (but you can really play with it). The plates are the weak link, because they are attached by two tenons in general. I prioritize the structure, not the surface. Time will tell me.

 

I'm not at home for 15 days, so I can't take other pictures (and I didn't work on LDD), and my english is too bad to describe precisely the technics. But when I will return, I try to take pictures of inside structures.

Looks really nice, great lego work, but designwise (not your fault of course) it still looks rediculous

Nicely Done. There is another one here from some time ago that had the wings not only fold in, but also slide down into the main. If you're up for the challenge, search for it. 

That wingspan! :D Excellent model.

What was your method for making the wings plated on both sides

A little update of this MOC. I added Red LEds :

(sorry for the quality but I can not better capture the light of the leds .....)

 

And with no flash or other lights :

I use this technic :

(to have a brick height, exactly, that separate the plates, which corresponds to technic bricks that consolidate wings )

 

Wow, that wing span. Nice work man.
