TheCreatorr Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 This is my very own Imperial "Star Destroyer Command Bridge MOC". --> Purchasable Instruction Manual and XML-Parts List available in my own shop: https://payhip.com/b/PaZT What do you guys think ? In my MOCs I always try to balance between brick-built details and existing Stickers. Stickers and prints are very difficult to omit in Star Wars models, as they represent truly unique details that can't be captures with just plain bricks. Quote
Littleworlds Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Very well done. It looks like ready for green-screening, if you ask me. A couple closeups from the interior could have helped to give a better idea of that part. It also took my a bit to find the stormtrooper, so maybe add a couple of officers and maybe that guy in black with the heavy breathing^^ Quote

Seriously, you did a great job; it looks visually interesting at first glance! Taking another look though, some areas do appear, well to be blunt, dull . The tubing on the side looks basic with the repetitive use of that "L" bar element, and it somewhat seems too spaced away from the surface of the hull, though I understand the limitations of what you can do about those matters. Though basic is better than uber-complicated, delicate details made with illegal techniques IMHO. Some color variation like DBG to lessen the monotony of LBG would look nice, but that's me thinking as a LEGO designer would. The unfixed hinge parts making up the window poke at my pedantic personality, but that's my OCPD! Neat of you to include your signature Quote

In the future I will definetly do some green screen pics with minifigs inside and space background, maybe a short video with underpinning music. Here is another closeup pic of the interior: Edited August 23, 2019 by TheCreatorr Quote

Ellisss_2 Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Nice build, I like the greebling. Perhaps, the curved section at the front would be better achieved using hinged panels rather than bricks. Quote

I thought the same, but I always have to decide on such designs: for the more stable style or the more accurate design. And at this MOC I opted for the first one at the front rounding, cause on the one hand I sell Instruction Manuals where everyone should build a MOC that is stable and accurate at the same time. In addition, a rounding with hing plates at this point is very very difficult, because you have to build inside the bridge (interior) the special crew pits with the black border, where a "normal" brick Build Design is much more effective and extremely delicate. But I will definitely try to build the rounding with hinge plates, maybe it will be as delicate as this solution . Edited August 24, 2019 by TheCreatorr Quote
