mrfuture Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Wow ! it is amazing build. After seeing this ship in the first star wars movie I fell in love with the arrow shape of this ship. Quote
Chilis Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Truly amazing. The most impressive build I ever have seen! Don`t really believe my own eyes. *Heading out in the woods crying* Quote
Jerac Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I think I should say sorry for NOT posting my other MOCs here previously. Sooo <3 reception :) THANKS! :D You are crazy man! How much would you estimate the cost of parts and man hours you put into this....MONSTER. That's in one of the presentation's photo - the cost of parts which I had to buy is very roughly 5000$ AND there are parts which I already had not included. As for man hours... since some time I am alone, so I could spend a lot. And I did. Since beginning of the year, average 2 hours per day, you can do the maths yourself :)It was not of course 2 hours literally each day. Sometimes I spent entire weeekend on this, and some weeks I didn't touch a single brick. Probably the worst was the final crunch in last week when I wasn't even sleeping properly, to get the thing as much done as possible. Considering that I driven for 350 kilometers having about 6h of sleep accumulated in 3 days... that have been, uh, not wise. I saw this yesterday and it's absolutely mind-blowing. You should apply to LEGO for a dream job as a set designer. I am wondering how you design and plan a construction like this before you start to build. Do you use tools like LDD? I applied but I was to arrogant and stupid, which normally I'd immediately realise... but I was so excited I didn't. Another sad tale where a man ruins his life by being stupid. Oh well. Beautiful! It's hard to imagine how much work was put into it. Will you exhibit this ship in Warsaw as well? I won't make it to Swarzewo :( I shouldn't; Warsaw exhibition is held by lugpol whose governing body is very strictly against any commercialisation. Since this ship was almost completely funded by various attempts of me monetizing the hobby, it would be hipocritic to go there with it. So instead I opted to stay longer at Swarzewo and then take it to some fan convention. I WANT TO RENDER THIS! That'd be amazing! But how would you render bent frame bricks? :D I did that on purpose in the frame; in zero-G the ship would be actually quite not straight, more like ( instead of |. Gravity, however, pulls on heavier ends of that ( and make it again |. Thanks everybody again! I am sure I will return with more MOC's as well. Since this is Thrawn's flagship, it needs some escorts. Not that I want to touch a brick in few next weeks (or months :D), but it really needs an Interdictor cruiser to-scale, one or two dreadnoughts from Black Flotilla and maybe a Lancer frigate? I was thinking about a Victory SD, but that would be probably too redundant; for most people that'd be just a "ISD lite version". Edited June 5, 2014 by Jerac Quote
drakmin Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Best Star Destroyer. Maybe the second best if you count in the models used in movies ;D Quote
Wedge09 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Awesome! So accurate, one of my favoured Star Destroyer i the galaxy Quote
rob-cubed Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Wow. Massive doesn't even begin to describe this project. Really impressive! At first glance, it looks like an actual model from the movie vs a LEGO facsimile! Quote
jimmynick Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 There are so many things that are impressive about this, but I think my favourite feature is the consistent use of clips and tiles to frame the greebles. Have fun at your exhibition! Quote
markus1984 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I`m speechless! The best MOC of an Spaceship i have ever seen! And the great is that you build the Chimaera! Absolut AMAZING at all details. My biggest respect to your work! Markus Quote
Erik Leppen Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 As a Technic person, the thing I find the absolute coolest thing about this model is your extensive internal frame that almost looks like a real ship's frame with al l the triangles and is an incredible technical achievements in itself. I'm ctually surprised you used sinple plate-brick-plate connections without pins in many places. Also this is probably one of the few MOCs that actually need such an awesome framework inside. So glad you took some pictures of the internals at all, by the way. Quote
ManInATopHat Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Amazing! The scale and detail is just fantastic! Great work! Quote
nymmerod Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 This might be the single greatest Lego build I have ever seen in my life. Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Probably the best MOC I've ever seen. I can't just add more. Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Just mind blowing smegging AWESOME........the Emperor would be pleased ! So much detailing and perfect scaling especially with all the turbo laser turrets.......congrats on being front paged and Brick On 'Jerac' ! Quote
Jerac Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 I'm ctually surprised you used sinple plate-brick-plate connections without pins in many places. In those places where there are no lateral loads, only pulling, a pair of 1x6 plates is perfectly enough - at least it was during transport. We'll see how is it after 3 months ;) Quote
Haderach Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Utterly amazing!! I honestly had to look closely to ensure it was made with LEGO as the build is just that amazing. You have an amazing talent - job well done! Quote
Gary The Procrastinator Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Awestruck. I thought it was LDD until I saw the pics. Congratulations, you just built the best Star Wars MOC anywhere. Quote
ThiagoMaster Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Simply amazing! Congratulations, very nice job! Quote
D3K Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I rarely venture outside the Technic Forum, but this is easily one of the best MOCs I have ever seen! This is absolutely fantastic! The level of detail is beyond common sense, truly a masterpiece in every way! Can't wait to see the final version with lights, come Autumn! Having just recently rediscovered the Star Wars Comic Magazines, I actually just finished the Thrawn Trilogy a couple of days ago, so I am sort of familiar with him and the ISD Chimaera itself! Bravo to you, Jerac! Quote
Hobbythom Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I'm absolutely amazed by this model. I am even more amazed by the short time it took you to design and build it. Surreal! Quote
Legogal Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Holy crap! This is a real masterpiece for sure! And the inside structure is just as impressive as the outside parts. The design flows so well that it looks real....not LEGO. Nothing blocky about this build. It is amazing that you built this and built it so quickly. And that you can transport it anywhere. It is the size of a monster! Congratulations on blowing the minds of everyone viewing it. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Very impressive build, I really enjoy looking at this monster ship Quote
gazumpty Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 *applause* Superb work Jerac... your attention to detail and faithfulness to the integrity of the Lego construction is a testament to you and everyone who aspires to create! This should be image number 1 on your CV of 'Master Builder!' *still more applause* Quote
Ward Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 What a build! Great details and it is massive!! WOW!! :thumbup: Quote
