I confirm that on February 7th I will present a new MOC of over 5000 pieces. So much Dark Bluish Gray ..

Mirko,

If I was to guess I would say the blurred out image for SB00501 is a Zeta Class Shuttle... “So much DB gray!"

The Zeta’s been done before, and really well IMO by renegade. This will be something that hasn’t been done before... I think the ATM6 is a good shout

If you look at his site there is a blurred image. I just saw what looked like the upright wings and the orange belly (cargo container). I hope it’s not the Zeta as I already built Cavegods

Cavegod just completed his AT-M6 and it has like 24K pieces... Now that’s a lot of DB Gray pieces!

[WizardSleeve]

Yeah good shout, although I would guess Mirko wouldn’t have known about cavegods Walker.  We will see on Sunday... maybe a capital ship. 
 

Was the Zeta build a good one? Would you recommend?

Think it's a ship, judging by photos of the shape of it, whilst under wraps, as per Mirko's FB page

Hope not zeta cause there are enough out there;)

Just ordered this bad boy! They are selling out fast. Looking forward to start the project. Collecting parts is often the most enjoyable moment I think ;)

Yes, I agree, researching and collecting bricks for me is a very fun and relaxing part. Especially when you have a lot of bulk to go through. It's like going in search of mushrooms!

I'm about halfway done with building this and have a question. On step 42 on page 113, the pictures show a turntable that looks to be the Type 2 part (48452), but the part listed in the back is for Type 3 (18939). Will this make a functional difference in the build? It seems to me that the gears on the next page won't do anything if a Type 3 is used since the inner teeth don't exist on that turntable.

I swapped to the toothed one as the non toothed was loose.

No, nothing changes. It can be used one or the other. It depends on what you find and which one is cheaper to buy.

Cannot wait to get started. Hung up at the moment waiting for LEGO parts to arrive from around the world.

First time I think a MOC is too large...still wouldn’t mind building it though

My K2 has developed quite a lean, the torso is leaning forwards quite a bit. Has anyone else had this happen and have tips on what parts to look at?

I did have this happen. So much that when I went to move it somewhere I could check it more carefully the head popped off and also knocked some torso panels off. The head also broke up when it hit the ground.I took the torso off and put it and the head back together and when I assembled the whole thing again the lean was gone! I know that does not tell you the immediate cause but it does seem like maybe something was coming loose to cause the lean and rebuilding it put it right.

I havent had that issue, and it has been on top of a subwoofer for quite awhile, Maybe I should move it!

Yup mine did the same, I had to push the hips in and I swapped the piece that allows rotation for the ratcheted one. I now have him kind of looking to the left at the waist this seems to have helped keep his centre of mass more balanced as it is a hugely top heavy set.
