bricksmarlin Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Sorry for the late response... here is a little update from the building process! What can I say!? Everything is running smooth, the manual is really excellent! I have made a few small changes back to "onecases" original design! Here are some pictures!

Schneeds Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Just finished the legs so I've got the frame upright now. No issues so far except for user error. I like how robust the legs are. I always thought they were flimsy and a poor design in 10221. Quote

As bad as 10221 is, I think 10143 Death Star II takes the cake for the most unstable stand design for a UCS set. Glad to know this set doesn't suffer from the same issue.

(had to wait for another little order) Today I started with the assembly! Here is the progress so far! Looks really awesome! By the way, this little section is missing in the manual! Quote
Schneeds Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I love the underside greebling. Might be my favorite part of the ship. I need to make some progress this week. Quote
WTFett Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 The detailing is fantastic. Puts 10221 to shame. Quote
Hold0511 Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Top quality greebling - love this build - great pics thanks for sharing bricksmarlin - top job! Quote

Thanks 3 hours ago, onecase said: one question, who's snow speeder moc that you have with AT-AT? and where to get it? Today I added the underside hull! 2 small changes! - added one plate at height under each turntable! - changed two 2x6 plates against 1x6 plate, 2x3 plate and 3x8 wedge plate for more stability! Another little thing....page 345 / 387 in the manual. The 1x1 plate under the cheese slope! On "onecases" flickr you can see that originally part 30383 was used! Otherwise there is a little gap! tomorrow I will try to take a better picture! Quote
Hollander Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) This is one of the creations which is absolutely perfect. The overall shape, the details, everything is just 10/10. Hats of to your building skills sir. Edited October 6, 2018 by Hollander Quote

It's amazing that you found that error. I never noticed it in the manual. Thanks for this. Quote
GAC Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 This is an awesome MOC, I will have to definitely get this for next winter's build. Quote

My pleasure! And here is the finished executor...looks absolutely awesome! I can really recommend this model to anyone! The design of the ship, the construction, the manual...really every little detail is fantastic! So thanks very much to @onecase for the opportunity to build this beauty! And @legolijntje for the high quality manual! Edited October 10, 2018 by bricksmarlin Quote
treffer21 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 hey onecase, hey bricksmarlin, the "little section" taht bricksmarlin mentioned, which is missing in the manual......are the parts also missing in the parts list (rebrickable) or are the parts listed there?? greets treffer21 Quote
Jerac Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Does it require such massive stands? Could it be supported on one central stand? What was the total parts cost? What is the instruction's cost? Edited October 16, 2018 by Jerac Quote

What was the total parts cost? What is the instruction's cost? It's quite a bit heavier than I thought it would be, but it could probably be done. The other issue then would be how you would move it; you would be putting a lot of stress on the frame picking it up by just a single strut. Quote
Schneeds Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) I finally finished building this tonight. Final thoughts: This thing is unbelievable in person. Despite being the same length as Lego's official version, having it built to the proper specs makes it seem twice as large. The greebling is amazing, and people literally think it's a model when they first walk in the room. It is a true show piece. Onecase's photographs are excellent, but they just don't do it justice. The instructions are great work as usual, and beyond the changes that Bricksmarlin suggested, the only ones I made were a simple one to the snout to keep the bottom panels from drooping, and some minor greebling changes for personal taste. Highly recommended. Edited October 28, 2018 by Schneeds Quote
