PS: I’m editing straight from the files in google drive, so any changes I make become live when I save. I’m very ok with people having them if they want them. :slightly_smiling:

It’s hard building things that small that still end up looking like what they’re supposed to look like, but seems like I’ve managed with these surprisingly well.

I think this is why the scale of mine blew out a little. it was actually smaller before I joined this forum, and I wasnt happy with a few sections so upsized…
flip side though, another i’m working on I was too focused on a small area, then when I was happy with that I did the math to work out how big it would be… 2m+ so now I have to start again and scale down quite a bit :smirk:

I’ll grab your lxf files later when I get home from work and run them through pov-ray :slightly_smiling:

I once tried to make a 3 meter long Bentus, but then I realized I have no time or patience for something of that scale.

the harbor ship? I can see that one being a big build…

I got my 2nd BL order on monday, finished checking the order last night and started building… it’s going to be huge… only official sets I have that are comparable are the UCS Star Destroyer and UCS Millennium Falcon.

not really ‘difficult’, it would be done in copy/paste style segments for the most part. but mini ships are so much easier and quicker.

I’ve finally made some adjustments, some pieces more difficult to find than i expected… final BL orders are in, most of them local so should be within a week, a number are EU/US so 2-3 weeks for those. the frame for the rear 1/3 (up to the cockpit) is together, quite sturdy… probably could do without a few pieces to reduce cost & weight…

For those wondering what it has cost me, over 10 separate orders the total cost of parts is 1019.28 and shipping was 107.87. a bit over what I was aiming for, with some effort it could probably be reduced down to 8-900ish by removing unnecisary pieces but I couldn’t be sure before building…

it should only be a few weeks now until its all built :smiley:

now that my internet is stable again, here’s something I promised earlier, plus a little extra…


you can get the lxf for those here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130243321@N07/20154740131/in/photolist-wH1j4v-wFNsV9

Oh man this is all so cool. :slight_smile:

Tip: for the Taiidan fighters, switch the fin parts with minifig hands. LDD doesn’t allow me to separate those pieces but it looks nicer with them. Nice to see this render of 'em, I’ll have to look up how to make some of my own instead of just screenshotting which looks like crap.

Everything you have there is absolutely stunnig, but I’m sorry I really dislike the Hiigaran Scout. I just don’t see it in there. Also while I love the Vaygr fighters, I’m not too sure about the Lance Fighter.

They’re my design. But yeah the hiigaran ones are the weakest imo, the scout in particular looks derp.
