Rook Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Legends of the Fall CABG Community Project Completed Our second annual event to provide the CABG Community with a unique opportunity to be involved in a large scale project in various ways. Some of you may remember the Venator I made this time last year. (If you don't just look at my signature at the bottom of this post.) This project was named after an old Brat Pitt movie. But also meant to convey the idea that hopefully every Fall I’ll be building a large ship. This project ties into the story that I'm doing on CABG. It is about how this "Rook" character was involved in the fall of the Republic. So with out further a do I give you… The Rook Runner 196 studs long by 76 studs wide by 60 studs high. Started October 3, 2010. Completed January 2, 2011. 12 support craft. 47 minifigures. Classic MOC Style Images: In Blackness of Space Images: Close Ups: From Page 1 of Gallery Gallery Quote
Blackknight112 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Wow, this is amazing, I have nevereen this ship before, but its awsome. Keep up the good work Quote
R5-N2 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Really fantastic... Nice work. The size and the collors are great. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Saw this the other day- great work, Rook! The colors and shape are very nice, and I love all the greebles you put on it. Wow, this is amazing, I have nevereen this ship before, but its awsome. Keep up the good work It's a fanon ship. Quote
KimT Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 This is absolutely amazing Rook. Thanks for posting it here - I saw and blogged it earlier through flickr. How do you find the time to do these MOCs? Plus how the heck do you find the inspiration? I always scrap my spaceships and vehicles long before they even resemble something. Perhaps I'm better off doing dioramas... Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Your best yet Rook! Great job on a great build! Quote
KimT Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Normally I'd have your head for such a comment, but this is really a jawdropping MOC and I totally agree with you Quote
The Legonater Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 That is absolutly stunning Rook! And huge! It kind of reminds me of the Tartan Patrol cruiser from Empire at War. Quote
nicoga3000 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Great job - a LOT of hard-work and dedication went into this one I'm sure. :) Quote
Mr Man Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I don't know what to say I suppose I like it :thumbup: :thumbup: (yes that's 4 thumbs up), I am really speechless. Quote
Rook Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) This is absolutely amazing Rook. Thanks for posting it here - I saw and blogged it earlier through flickr. How do you find the time to do these MOCs? Plus how the heck do you find the inspiration? I always scrap my spaceships and vehicles long before they even resemble something. Perhaps I'm better off doing dioramas... Here's the start. This came from the almost heart shape (inverted in this image) you can see in this image. Edited January 10, 2011 by Rook Quote
Walter Kovacs Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 This is really amazing work, Rook. The detail, the shape, everything is phenominal. I was going to complain about the amount of white on the backside, but then I saw the pictures further down and noticed quite a bit of white that ties it in. But then your work is always a high caliber. Normally I'd have your head for such a comment, but this is really a jawdropping MOC and I totally agree with you Wait, is Kim getting soft on us? Quote
drdavewatford Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Superb job, Rook - looks fantastic ! I'm not familiar with the ship, however - do you have a link to the original source material, or did you just use your imagination ? Dr. D. Quote
Enpaz Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Ah, this looks very nice! Somehow the shape of it really reminds me of your Rook hood. Whether the hood thing is intended or not - good job on rookifying it! Enpaz Quote
eltsyr Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 During my Dark Ages I may have played Magic Cards (duh). Seing such MOCs reminds me of players showing decks full of japanese premium summer edition Black Lotuses pimped by original artists and signed by Richard Garfield. I'm not even sure I could build a support ship for your MOC with my entire collection :D Anyway it's gorgeous : both massive and well designed. One could argue that it misses lights and gallery of the ship innards, but it's already jawdropping as it is. If I could indulge myself with a suggestion, aimed at number whores : what is the total weight and approx. brick count of the beast ? Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Your best creation ever 'Rook' - a totally AWESOME starship with lots of gun turrets - I like it ! Congrats on being front paged too, you deserve it for this excellent piece of designing ! And I add this last......May the brick be with you always ! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Superb job, Rook - looks fantastic ! I'm not familiar with the ship, however - do you have a link to the original source material, or did you just use your imagination ? Dr. D. It's fanon but resembles the Action IV Transport. Quote

I was going to complain about the amount of white on the backside, but then I saw the pictures further down and noticed quite a bit of white that ties it in. But then your work is always a high caliber. Wait, is Kim getting soft on us? I only used white on the inside. So I'm guessing you're referring to the light gray. Yeah if I had enough pieces, there probably wouldn't have been any light gray used on the exterior. Superb job, Rook - looks fantastic ! I'm not familiar with the ship, however - do you have a link to the original source material, or did you just use your imagination ? Dr. D. Sorry I couldn't find a picture of my brain.

private_lego Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Great MOC. Large one. Definitly front page material Quote
Linko Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I have no words for this masterpiece. Impressive. Congratulations! Quote
Willdog Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Hey, stunned by the detail. Interested in the process of the build though. Any more work in progress photos? Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 What? this is Lego? When I saw this on the frontpage, I thought it was just a model that WILL be made into LEGO. This is absolutely jaw-dropingly good. Just Fantastic! Detail+Humongous size= Awesomeness Really well done Quote
