Pilotasso Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 Its still available but it probably will be hard to find a year from now. :) .
cichlidfan Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I just can't get into the Star Wars stuff, though I will probably do R2D2 one of these days.

cichlidfan Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 When I had Lego's as a youth the last innovation I experienced was electric motors and gears. I still had an entire suitcase full of parts though! They are long gone now but many of the bricks were no longer useful as they had worn enough from use to not stay together!! The shuttle and Camel are the only models I have these days.

cichlidfan Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Lego & instructions are as good together as oil & water!

JayPee Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 In case one or more Lego enthousiasts still visit this topic, check out this guy's collection of airforce and navy aircraft. He builds both rotary and f/w. I have yet to find somebody who models it to a greater perfection. Truly amazing. i7 4790K: 4.8GHz, 1.328V (manual) MSI GTX 970: 1,504MHz core, 1.250V, 8GHz memory
Python Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 That guy has a lot of spare time... some awesome stuff in there. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
WildBillKelsoe Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 holy shit!!! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Pilotasso Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 BTW I got the UCS X-wing this holiday season: My model exposition space looks awesome now :) .

Pilotasso Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 guys, I'm building the UCS tie fighter now, to make company to my X wing. :) So far got the cockpit module done, but the side panels are 2/3 of the work and are the next step. Will post pics of the build soon. .
Pilotasso Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 here we go gents. For those who intend to build one and haven't yet, letting you know it's best to build both panels at the same time rather than coming back for the 2nd time. It takes some time to build them and repeating can be tiresome. The cockpit took some 45 minutes and the panels about 3,1/2 hours. Look how the Tie dwarfs the X wing making it look like the playable version of it in the last picture (they are at different scales). It sets a new standard for UCS. .
Yurgon Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Nice one! :thumbup: Though I have to say the difference in scale would put me off the project right away. I can understand an X-Wing and the Executor won't be the same scale, but the X-Wing dwarfed by a Tie Fighter, that just looks wrong.
Pilotasso Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 I believe some of the details of the original TIE could not be achieved with a model any smaller than this. This was evident when making the cockpit area, and the details at the center of the panels. This is 1600 pieces VS 1500 of the X wing. The later would have to be in the region of 2500 pieces in order to get it to the same scale (B wing likely up to 3000). That would be 300$ plus worth of LEGO. .
mrmertz Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Holy crappers. In my day it was the original G.I. Joe with that little scar on his cheek, Lincoln Logs and Matchbox cars. Never got started with the Legos but I seem to remember dinking around with some round wooden blocks of wood with holes drilled all around and wooden colored dowels that you would insert to create, well, "stuff" I guess. Mentioning "Lego" in my mind creates images of the old school Lego sets - chunky, boxy looking stuff - then I noticed the over 3,100 pieces included in your kit! Seriously? Geez, am I out of touch. I'm all for adults goin back and enjoying the things in their past that used to give them joy and reliving them over once again. Kudos to you and post some pics of this massive self assigned commitment when your done! But most of all, enjoy!
