Posted March 26, 20204 yr Update: 24/11/2022 Here is my MOC of the Sith Harrower Class Dreadnought from the Old Republic game. The model is now finished with instructions coming soon. -6408 bricks -95cm x 68cm x 30cm Thanks, Ellis :) Edited July 20, 20231 yr by Ellisss_2
March 26, 20204 yr Off to a good start :) Hope you are safe and well too. I like the texture of those panels. Tile expensive (== cash expensive :D) but it looks good. I am wondering what exactly does this translate to in terms of your design intent: 2 hours ago, Ellisss_2 said: I aim to make the model around 95% SNOT. I admit that it sounds a bit like a salesmen metric (95% green energy kind of thing). Are you talking about just 5% of the parts facing upwards in the build? Oh wait, perhaps you are referring to the absence of visible studs on the surfaces haha, I am second guessing myself. Though in that case, I don't think SNOT refers to that :)

Just a tip if you ever need a lot of tiles! They are also new and shiny! :D With regards to Snot I meant the visible parts of the ship! I didn’t mean to sound like a salesman people just love the smooth designs these days! That would certainly be a challenge if it was the whole thing!

This thing looks amazing, I love the use of 2 of the 2x2 triangle tiles making squared for more detail/greebling. Also thanks for the tip on using bricks and pieces, I'll have to check that out once it re-opens.

I first noticed the use of the triangle tiles on one of @onecase Star Destroyers it looked great so I had to borrow it! Hopefully that tip works out for you too, I know it definitely did here in the UK, but you have many more parts in the USA! I'm gutted that bricks and pieces is closed right now as it was a main source of pieces for the build.

But the second they re-open I'm buying a metric ton of LBG plates and tiles.

I've made some pretty big progress and now have a frame design. It's a bit of a hybrid between the two official Lego Star Destroyers still using the technic bricks but taking the attachment methods from the new one. It also looks like I'm the messiest builder around and can't take photos! Edited May 18, 20204 yr by Ellisss_2
May 31, 20204 yr Author It's coming together quite nicely, I'm very happy with the shape. I've got some parts coming from Bricklink to finish the bottom panels and start designing the bridge section. The front of the frame doesn't exist yet, which is why the panels are sagging slightly at the front.
May 31, 20204 yr If I were you, i'd take inspiration on 75252 structure. It is really well thought out.

Hi, the structure I have now seems to be very sturdy and sound. I don't see much point in designing a whole new frame when I have one which works quite nicely. Are there any advantages to the 75252 frame?

Unfortunately I don't own the set :( Originally I was going to do something similar to 75252, but due to the more complicated shape of the harrower, I decided otherwise. The cut out at the front means that I can't construct it all as one large triangle.
November 24, 20222 yr Author Updated thread with most recent images, please let me know what you all think.
November 25, 20222 yr Looks amazing. Are you building it with the round engines from the trailers or triangular engines from the game?

Lol, I completely forgot they made that change. Great work, OP. These are some of the better looking Star Destroyer-like capital ships out there, any you're nailing it.

I’ll be designing it with the round engines for now, but I might make both versions.
June 10, 20231 yr Author The model is now finished, with a completed PDF instruction manual releasing soon. Here is the last page from the instructions showing the completed model, I will post some physical photos soon.
June 11, 20231 yr Absolutely mind-blowing! I'm glad all the work that went into this over the years paid off!
