mechamike Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I too must applaud this! Very nice job of transferring the iconic ship into Lego bricks.. The thin neck between the engines and the front part of the ship is surly no problem in the weightlessness of space , how about in your model? Was it a big problem? Does it hold the weight without careful support? (can You swoosh it ??) Quote
Steamtrain72 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 WOW, that is a really good work. Nice Details. Greetings, Steamtrain72 Quote

Does it hold the weight without careful support? (can You swoosh it ??) It can be swooshed when holding at the neck - this means a bit of greebling will fall of though So the neck is sturdy enough, however the model will bend a little bit when lifted at the middle of the neck neck only - the front and back weighs a bit Quote
Larsen Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Wow... great job man. I love the attention to detail and proportions, very well done! Would you mind telling me where you bought your bricks? Brian Quote
rocketandroll Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Very, very cool :-) A few years back I was (semi)seriously proposing a group build of a minifig scale Nebulon B... yes, that does work out as huge as you think it would, about 19ft long I seem to recall? This is about the best model of it I've seen made.... looks very much like it could be a UCS model, very cleanly designed and assembled. Want one :-) Ben Quote

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Wow, this is too complex for me! Beautiful MOC! Quote
ObiJanKenobi Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 This is really incredible, i love it. Reminds me of the epic End-Sequence in Episode 5, where Luke and Leia stand on the Window and the Millenium Falcon sets off from the Frigate. Too bad this will never be made by Lego, at least not in this size. How long did the construction and building take you? Is there a chance to get the LDD file so i can build this awesome model myself? This would be epic! Quote
Joris Blok Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Incredible! Absolutely love everything about it. The greebles look very nice and my favorite part is how you shaped the front. Quote
SinWolf89 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 A must-have for every respectable rebel fleet! Great job! Quote
sithewok Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Wow. That is a thing of beauty. Easily one of my favorite SW ships and you recreated it beautifully! Quote
fright_night Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Hey mortesv, This is a beautiful creation. Next to Akbar's cruiser, the nebulon frigate is my favorite ship in Star Wars. Maybe it was from flying around them so often in the old X-wing PC game:) Anyway , I would gladly pay you a reasonable fee if you would be willing to share the instructions with me. I'm new to custom lego, so I don't really know the etiquette, but I would not share it or do anything other then to build one with my son. Thanks for your time, and congratulations on the beautiful model. Quote
Brickmamba Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Sick moc, what strikes me the most is the nature of the ship being more vertically challenge makes this build very unique and stands out from a lot of other mocs you normally see posted that are more horizontally proportioned spaceships. For some reason the color scheme and aesthetics reminds me of the slave which i like a lot. Great work, props to you sir Quote
beartrapper Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Perhaps you've already seen this, but I just found this page on etsy that has a pretty cool blueprint of this ship. (I am in no way affiliated with this seller) http://img0.etsystatic.com/036/0/7966563/il_570xN.557746766_mhwd.jpg Quote
BJM Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Well Mortesv, I hope you are still picking these comments up. I only saw this when it came to the front screen again, but wow. Seriously WOW. I love looking at the artistry of someone creating such a masterpiece. I can only imagine just how long you spent on this but was fun and what a result. You can be rightly proud of your efforts. This truly is the biz. Just great, and do post back if you have started anything since... Quote
mortesv Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks for the nice comments guys :) I have actually added a bit more detail to the front of the ship and changed a few discreet things since these pics were taken. If I get my hands on a camera I can post pics of the tweaks here :) Right now I'm building the new Sandcrawler - which I'll mod a bit in an attempt to address some of the play-set looking parts of the set :) Quote
markus1984 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Amazing work! One of my favourit ship`s in RotJ and a project i will build far years ago! MUST have for my UCS collection . Have you the LDD files? markus Quote
nash3260 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Hi Sir, i see your fantastic MOC... it possible to buy instructions? thank you bye Giovanni Quote
voxynn Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Hi Mortesv, I've been reading your MOD posts (10221 in particular as I've just finished building my own) and I was wondering if you were willing to share any of your LDD file(s) for this frigate? It looks great, and I'd love to see 'under the hood' and see how it's put together! voxynn Quote
Schneeds Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I would buy instructions in a heartbeat. Been huge fan of this moc for some time. I think it's up there with Cavegod's ATAT. Quote
Raskolnikov Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) I'd also buy the instructions for this. Is there any sort of index or sticky that shows where to get/buy instructions for these kinds of models? I know that there are instructions that you can buy for an AT-AT, from Cavegod, and a Venator. But I don't really know what all is available, other than that. Edited February 10, 2015 by Raskolnikov Quote
Schneeds Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 It would be cool if Lego had a Lego Ideas for Instructions service. They could take all these hugely popular large sets that reach 10,000 votes but aren't viable as an official set, and make purchasable instructions for them. The original designer just provides the LDD file and once they finish it, people could just order it online. Be great for Mortesv's Nebulon. Quote
