December 26, 201014 yr I wouldn't say that because you are actually offering constructive criticism. My main/only problem is the fact you're thinking like a model maker instead of a MOCer. I.E complaining about details that are physically impossible to achieve in L ego in this scale. You might end up being a pedantic 'Oh this MOC is wrong because on the Red 3 X-wing filming model, the space between the laser cannon housing were 0.03 mm where as your MOC it's clearly futher apart apart' nerd. I'm sorry if this starts to sound rude, but I would have to disagree with that statement. Most of the errors that I point out in others' MOCs are those which are correctly done on others' MOCs or which I see as being easily fixed within the limitations of LEGO elements. For example, in the case of Anio's UCS model which i being discussed here, I mentioned that the bars above the stabilizer fins should connect into the ship at an angle because I was aware that it was possible, since I saw it pulled off fairly well on Amun-Ra's model. I always try to base my standards for accuracy solely on what I've seen others achieve with bricks. And as for the space between the laser cannon housing on the Red Three model, while I don't know the exact distance, I would say looking at this image that the distance would be closer to the thickness of two plates on a scaled LEGO model rather than the width of two studs, as it was done on marshal_banana's and roguebantha's models. And I have seen multiple MOCs in which the laser cannon housings are in fact quite close to each other (dateman, Brucey-wan, Niko, lowlead, etc.), so I know that it can be done in bricks. I feel that it's very difficult for a LEGO model to resemble its real-life counterpart if certain conspicuous details aren't right - I believe this was the case in the last rendition of my X-wing (my current avatar picture) in which the angle of the wings, the length of the wingtip laser cannons, and the "T"-shape inside the air intakes were not right, which is one of the reasons I decided to address those errors first. Whether or not the distance between the laser cannon housings falls into this category is debatable, but it's noticeable to me, which is why I pointed it out.

You did realise the whole pedantic 0.03mm nerd thing was a joke right? Either way thanks for inadvertently providing my point, i guess? Edited December 26, 201014 yr by simonjedi
December 26, 201014 yr You did realise the whole pedantic 0.03mm nerd thing was a joke right? Either way thanks for inadvertently providing my point, i guess? Of course I did! But I couldn't resist trying to prove my point. Please accept that there are some pedantic people in the world
December 27, 201014 yr Author What makes me laugh is that this thread about my Slave is to the fore, even when people do not talk about my MOC ! On FBTB, it is even the thread number one of the whole MOC Showcase. Edited December 27, 201014 yr by Anio
December 27, 201014 yr You did realise the whole pedantic 0.03mm nerd thing was a joke right? Either way thanks for inadvertently providing my point, i guess? *snicker* It (fallenangel327's commenting style),doesn't really bother me that much, but I do think, fallenangel327, that you should consider elegance as well as dimensional accuracy. You yourself said that SNOT looked good on my T-47 even though the wings should be quite thin, so there may be hope for you yet. What makes me laugh is that this thread about my Slave is to the fore, even when people do not talk about my MOC ! On FBTB, it is even the thread number one of the whole MOC Showcase. You do seem to have constucted quite a controversial MOC.
April 2, 201113 yr Hi Is very your best MOC that I now. But I'm not a better quest man in the world!!!!! Just a simple afol
April 2, 201113 yr Well, I guess since someone else dug this up from the grave, I'll add to it!! Instructions for Anio's model can be found here: Slave 1 instructions Jamie
January 30, 201213 yr Author Hello everyone, The professional instruction for my UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 is now complete. Frousmoul did it again. :p So the MOC was made in 2010 and is made out of about 1270 parts. The symbolic price is 10€. Nevertheless, I you want to send a premium in order to reward the hours of work, to support that kind of work for the community, or any other reason that is important to you, you can do it. To actually buy the instruction, you have to PM on Eurobricks, FlickR or youtube. Or email me directly at setechnic@gmail.com . Very simple, isn't it ? Anio
February 18, 201213 yr Hello everyone, The professional instruction for my UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 is now complete. Frousmoul did it again. :p Anio I’d like to pass on my thanks to Anio for the considerable time that he must have invested in creating these instructions. I’ve just purchased a set, and they’re simply amazing; 135 pages in a .pdf format with easy to follow steps, including a detailed inventory of the parts required (inc. colours & part references). All that’s missing to make it totally perfect is an image of the Slave 1 blasting away from Cloud City! Highly recommended.
May 30, 201212 yr Hello great lego genius haha slime slime my name is Richard Teleng i was wondering if i still could buy a slave 1 instruction great work!!! Hello everyone, The professional instruction for my UCS Boba Fett's Slave 1 is now complete. Frousmoul did it again. :p So the MOC was made in 2010 and is made out of about 1270 parts. I currently do not know the exact part number. I tell you when I know. To get the instruction, you will have to proceed just like for the Executor. The symbolic price is 5€. Nevertheless, I you want to send a premium in order to reward the hours of work, to support that kind of work for the community, or any other reason that is important to you, you can do it. So, the minimum price is 5€, and you choose the maximum price. To get the instruction, you have to PM me (or email me ( setechnic[at]gmail[dot]com), but in this case, I would appreciate if you could tell me which community you are from (EB, FBTB, etc). You tell me how you want to pay (paypal, or IBAN). I confess I do prefer IBAN, because there is no fee. In any case, when you pay, write something to let me know who you are (your pseudonym seems to be the most convenient thing for me). When I get the payment, I give you your link to download the file (HD professional instruction ; 82 MO). Then, you have one day to download the file. After that, the link won't work anymore. It will be modified to be used for someone else. So, the quicker you download your file, the quicker I'm able to offer the instruction to the next person. So, tell me when you are done. Please, be fair-play : keep your link only for yourself. Anio
May 30, 201212 yr Author Of course you can. Send me a PM, and we will discuss about how we proceed. :)
May 30, 201212 yr Send me a PM, and we will discuss about how we proceed. :) He will need to make 9 more posts . I can't remember if I've said this on any other of your threads, but the instructions look very professional.

August 17, 201212 yr The second of Anios MOC models I have complete (Tie Fighter was the first). I can't recommend this one more, great design and fun to build. The model is very strong at its core and provides some challenges when adding all the detail for the engines. Many thanks to Anio for all the effort in putting together the design and instructions. Some pictures of the (almost) finished build:

August 18, 201212 yr Author Thank you, Tristan. It is always a pleasure to see his work reproduced. :)
September 10, 201212 yr Anio first of all excelent work!! best lego Slave I that I have saw. I would like to buy you the instructions Can I e-mail you in the given address? Thanks PedroProg Anio first of all excelent work!! best lego Slave I that I have saw. I would like to buy you the instructions Can I e-mail you in the given address? Thanks PedroProg
September 10, 201212 yr Author Yes, of course. setechnic [at] gmail [dot] com edit : thank you, by the way. Edited September 10, 201212 yr by Anio
