Brickdoctor Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Anyway, I'm into much older ships now so I don't have to worry You mean future ships. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... And guys, Anio spent a lot of time trying to make this one of the best Executers on the 'Net. It's only fair that he doesn't have to share the specific details. You could always build prototypes or virtually, and besides, figuring it out is half the fun. You get a much larger sense of accomplishment when you successfully reverse-engineer something on this scale than if you just follow instructions. Quote
Anio Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 It's quite a good idea to give us some of your building history, but maybe it would have been better to first post a picture of the finished product? At first I though this would be a WIP thread. Actually, it seems logical to me to first show the design process and then show the finished model. :) Maybe tiles would have looked better, but that is a matter of opinion. Are you sure the ISD is to scale? Even though the Executor is huge, this one seems maybe a little bit too small. I do not like big tiled surfaces. :) Otherwise, yes, the ISD is to scale with the Executor. It would have been too bad to spend hours and hours designing the "main" model (Executor) and then doing a huge mistake on the design of the easiest part of the MOC (ISD). ^^ Amazing job, I don't think there are many Star Destroyer MOCs of such a quality! Thank you. Quote

I'll experiment late this year with building my own (assuming there will be no UCS Executor this year). Edited January 26, 2011 by StoutFiles Quote
BrickPerfection Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 You mean future ships. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... My bad, I just didn't think of that intro sentence that's associating SW with a fairy tale. It's still kind of weird to see it in that order. Anyway, I should be around here more often. Quote
Stardusty Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 That is huuuuuuuuge. (and looks really good, too) Quote
StoutFiles Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Ironic, isn't is? It's still a great MOC regardless, and better than TLG's. Doesn't take away from the MOC at all. Quote
Anio Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Hello everyone, Since August 2010 when I completed that MOC, I was asked instructions so many times for this model, that I finally took this request into account. This was possible thanks to the work of another TechLUG member, who has now become a friend IRL : Frousmoul. He took my Executor to his home, and he modeled it. That was a very long process for a 3100 part MOC (3118, precisely). Then, he did the steps. That was a very long process too. And after maaaaaaaaany hours of work, the instruction is complete. The price of the instruction is very symbolical : only 10€. Nevertheless, I you want to send a premium in order to reward the hundreds hours of work, to support that kind of work for the community, or any other reason that is important to you, it is of course much appreciated. To actually buy the instruction, PM me on Eurobricks, Youtube or FlickR. Or even better : email me at setechnic@gmail.com Enjoy ! Quote
ISDAvenger Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Thats awesome man, good thing I own a 10030. How much for the instructions in US dollars and using paypal? I have the new SSD, I wonder how many of those parts I can use for yours? Again, thanks much for the effort to make this availible to AFOL's. Quote

Yes, with 10221 and 10030, you have a lot of part to do my model. :) For the payment, just convert the amount you want to give with xe.com. Quote
willybob Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Acquired this instructions book from Anio. I must admit it is amazing. Nice high definition drawings, good instructions and part list. I am quite impressed by the whole work behind this project. Quote
Brickmamba Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 wow awesome build and crazy pic of your fleet in the end Quote
StoutFiles Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I hope you consider doing this for models there isn't an equivalent UCS model for, such as your podracers. Quote

Delta62 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Impressive, most impressive! I must say that is one beautiful ucs version of the executor. A job well done! Quote
Illuwatar Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I first planned to get the official TLG UCD SSD (by sourcing the necessary parts via BL) and mod it to look better, but when I saw this, my plans changed... (going through the part list and comparing with the UCS SSD, the MOC contains less obscure and expensive parts (like 2 x 4 tiles), making it actually easier to source - and for some parts, getting them from TLG as replacement for the 10030 should work fine (like the large plates for example)...). I have the 10030 (also gathered via BL as parts) and it will NOT be dismantled. I want both on display at the same time... Quote

I know you can't give me an exact answer, but would you be able to guess how much it would cost to build Anio's MOC by sourcing parts? Quote

I can't give any numbers on it as I'm half-way through the collecting process. And I'm usually put these parts inside BL-orders that I need for other projects. Some of the parts will be ordered from Lego direct instead of BL as they are hard to find or very expensive. Quote
Anio Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 For those who have the 10030, I guess it costs about 200€/250€. Quote
obiwan1011 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Hi, Could someone tell me Anio's email address? I want to make an arrangement with him to download his SSD instruction, but cannot send a PM since I am newly registered... Thanks. Quote
Anio Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Maybe I can PM you. Let's see... edit : I can't. Well, wait a few days to have the right post number, and then we will be able to discuss by PM... :) edit : e-mail me with the adress at the bottom of that page ("Nous contacter") : http://www.setechnic.com/ Edited January 24, 2012 by Anio Quote

Fallenangel Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) obiwan1011 needs at least ten posts to send and receive PMs, so Anio is unable to send him one. Edited January 25, 2012 by Fallenangel Quote
Oxus Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Is there a place on the forum where I can see what all the icons and titles mean? Quote
