BaneTheBrawler Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 good heavens! that's enormous! and looks great. very, very cool. One thing to note, though: if you're doing normal Imperial class star destroyer models on the same scale, for comparison, the command towers should be the same size. The Executor class uses the same standardized command tower module, it's just that the rest of the ship is so much bigger, it makes it seem smaller. Amazing job. I hope it makes it into bricks! Quote
Renderbricks Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Holy LEGO. As a 3d artist for over 20 years I am speechless that this is build with LDD. You are a genius. Now I am wondering if I am able to render such a masterpiece in MODO. *:-) Edited June 4, 2014 by virtualrepublic Quote
Jerac Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Just don't make the same mistake I did with my way smaller ship and DON'T go for LEGO frame. It makes no sense, nobody will see it anyway, and bragging rights for the look beak bragging rights for the interior. So while some people might say I have currently the best SD done, I am really really waiting to be dethroned by you and that beast when it becomes alive, for it is indeed going to be the best looking SW ship ever! If I may suggest something, go not only for 2x2 tiles but 6x6, 8x16, 2x4 and so on. This will make really nice texture, with 2x2 only you will have one huge piece of pavement. Oh, and btw, I don't know what does it have inside but if you go for lego interior, there won't be just 70k of pieces, no way :) Quote
Fox Hound Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Right now I'm still trying to gather funds for the project. I'm starting a Kickstarter campaign soon. Even if I do, I'm still not sure I could construct it. Let me know if you're interested :) Quote
Jerac Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I wouldn't, every time I tried using LDD and then converting it to real model it ended in a beautiful catastrophe :) Not to mention that no way I could afford it. Go for kickstarter, we cannot use it here but you might be able to do so, and I am sure that there will be many people willing to donate. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, how could I have not seen this before! The scale and detail are crazy, and you rendered it with POV-Ray as well! Must have taken years! It took me 6 hours to render 500 pieces, you used 70,000 pieces... Well done! Quote
Brickmasta Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I think you should go for your "own interpretation" - this is the liberty you have with using Lego Quote
Belka8492 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Oh my god. Building this became my dream. I wonder if there is still a way to purchase this LDD/Ldraw file somehow.... Quote
Lego Otaku Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Oh my god. Building this became my dream. I wonder if there is still a way to purchase this LDD/Ldraw file somehow.... lol NOPE. My computer was crying when it loaded this file for POV rendering, and my computer was a dual XEON rig. A server quality computer. Your average desktop might take an hour just to load then crash. I doubt LDDManager can handle it either so exporting to part list won't work. If the instruction was provided on file, it'd have to be broken into several sections just so average computer can handle it. Quote
kongman Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 so any further new on the project from anybody ? Quote
Fox Hound Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 To update: I've started a Kickstarter campaign for it. If it doesn't work (and there's a 99.9% chance it won't) I'll give up. Someone else will have to come along and build an SSD. Quote
Brickmasta Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Link to Kickstarter please so we can kickstart the hell out of it Quote
deanorth Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I'll start building the back of the SSD next month I think, I don't have the space for the whole sutff, neither the money, but the back is sexy as hell, so I'm thinking of a way to make it fun (maybe crashing in death star or warping. I'll support your kickstart, so banzai Fox Hound!! Quote
Fox Hound Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 Are Kickstarter links allowed? I remember some anti-promotion mumbo-jumbo. Just search "Executor" in the Kickstarter search field. BTW, the posters are beyond awesome. I mean 50" wide at 9600 x 5400! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Are Kickstarter links allowed? I remember some anti-promotion mumbo-jumbo. Just search "Executor" in the Kickstarter search field. As long as the topic is about the MOC rather than about promoting the Kickstarter/Ideas/Indiegogo project, we're okay with it. In this case, it'd be fine for you to add a link.Relevant portions of our Site Guidelines are: LEGO Ideas: If you have a great MOC, that is also a LEGO Ideas project, you may present it on EB as you would any MOC, with a single link to the Ideas entry. Make the title about the MOC, not the Ideas business; don't be too shouty, and it is likely to be tolerated. You need to be thinking: 'I want people on EB to see my MOC and comment on it. If they like it, perhaps they'll support it on LEGO Ideas', rather than: 'I want Ideas support! If I post it on EB, perhaps more people will vote!. Selling, self promotion and promoting: [...] Please don't use Eurobricks as a billboard. You may certainly post links to your site in your signature, but don't join just to advertise your site. This includes reviews/MOCs/contests posted on off-site forums. Quote
BEAVeR Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 It's amazing that you actually try to make this model a reality. If it is done, it will be a new icon for the AFOL MOCcing community and, as you say it, a work of art. Good luck on this exhausting journey. You have the support of the blog. Quote
Mencot Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 This is awesome but I don´t wanna be a mood destroyer (because you know it yourself also) raising that kind of funding will be really hard and in that time. And then after raising it, building that monster masterpiece will be hard but I guess you would not only build on it yourself then. But I will wish you the biggest good luck and I support your case.

mortesv Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I simply have to back this Fox :) $30CAD is sent your way! GOOD LUCK!! Quote
Ax_Rex Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 *Jaw Drops* Wow! That is amazing!!! Amazing job! It's the kind of model that should be displayed at LEGOLAND! Quote
markus1984 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 speechless!!!! Cant say more to this epic build! markus Quote
