May 10, 201311 yr Anio, Is it possible to get a list of the bricks needed for the updated model? Just so i can start buying :)
May 20, 201311 yr Author Hello everyone, Frousmoul finally succeeded ! The instructions is now complete ! It is a 600 MO HD instruction ! 414 pages of fun to reproduce the famous UCS Venator ! The model is made out of 5421 parts. :) The instruction has more than 400 pages and 500 steps ! The price of the instruction is 30€. To do a payment, you can PM me here, or e-mail me at setechnic@gmail.com Enjoy !
May 20, 201311 yr great stuff, I soon as I'll finish the star destroyer and the AT-AT, this one is next on my list.
May 20, 201311 yr I just bought the instructions, they are sure worth the money! But, when you plan to build it, it contains a large amount of the infamous 298c05, light blueish gray base with light blueish gray lever.

May 21, 201311 yr Can you highlight a few of the differences from the older version? Externally it looks very similar (changes to the dark red stripes on the 'wings' at rear, greebling?)

May 21, 201311 yr Author Is it just me or is there a gun missing in this picture? The side turbolaser. Well seen. I thought none would notice that. Well, is it not important, they are in the instruction.;)
May 21, 201311 yr I can't decide whether or not to pull the trigger on this. It comes down to two things. What are the chances of TLG making an official UCS set and do I have the time/patience/money to bricklink the parts. Are any others facing this dilemma?
May 23, 201311 yr can you send me details as setechnic were awkward and I couldn't read the parts list and it has to be adobe compatible at [snip] Edited May 25, 201311 yr by Brickdoctor Removed email address.

Don't you think our e-mails are enough ? PS : of course you can not read the part file. It is not for you, it is for Bricklink....

May 23, 201311 yr Me and my family might try this beast. What size will it approx. be? And are there templates available in the instructions for printing the UCS-style display?

May 24, 201311 yr I can't see them making a UCS of this set, and certainly not with that many pieces. For me, it's worth it for the $$ to repay them for the incredible work put in. Hell, I spent more money on lunch today!. I'll be sending my payment along soon, hopefully I'll get a change to build it!
May 24, 201311 yr I decided to buy the instuctions and start this project. I give myself 4-5 months to finish, will probably spend $100-$150 a month on pieces until I have them all. My reasoning in pulling the trigger. I don't think this will get an official UCS from TLG in the near futre, if at all. If they do one it will most likely not look as good as this one and not as detailed. No need to wait years on something that "might happen" when I can start now. The bricklinking will be a nightmare for me, I feel I just need to put a good amount of preparation into the planning and it should be ok. I have already made a spreadsheet in Excel to help me with this and inventoried the parts I already have. I would like to keep my orders to the minimum amounts of stores. I will most likely start with the high quantity items and work down to the lower quantity. Any advice from someone who has done this will be greatly appreciated.
May 24, 201311 yr Author Son of a... The guy is selling the instruction on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Lego-Venator-Supersize-INSTRUCTIONS-ONLY-/321118139528?pt=UK_Construction_Toys_Kits&hash=item4ac421f488
May 24, 201311 yr Son of a... The guy is selling the instruction on ebay. Wow, people suck. Any way you can report him for theft?
May 24, 201311 yr Author I reported the item, for copyright etc. But I doubt ebay will remove the item. :-( I also contacted the seller thief. You are welcome to spam him for him to remove the auction. :D
May 25, 201311 yr I reported it too, hope it helps And money sent to setechnic for an awesome work of art! Edited May 25, 201311 yr by Flash
May 25, 201311 yr Reported also. What an a** any one of the people who bought the instructions, inuding me, could resale them. But it is a matter of respect and decency. Disgusting.
