'Scuse me! I have to vent/rant! (admins can lock this as soon as I post it...)
Well...I have to vent off a little bit of steam...Here's the story...

...I'm an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego) and a bit of a Star Wars nut too...so I ussually build stuff pretaining to the SW Universe...

Anyways...I've been building the SSD out of lego...link is here btw: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=36936

...anyways...I was surfing around on Brickshelf (place where hundreds of people can post thier creations for free)...when I came across this folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=53804

...first thought when I looked at that: *gulp* HOLY ****E!

...second thought: ...****...Someone made it...and perfected it before me...:hopping: :hopping:

I feel as if I can't finish what I have started on the 3rd version...it sucks...I hate it that he beat me too it...I ****ING HATE IT THAT I ALWAYS ****ING WELL GET ****ING WELL BEATEN BY SOMEONE ELSE AND THAT THEY ALWAYS MAKE SOMETHING BIGGER AND BETTER THAN MINE.

****!!!!

:hopping:

...It sucks...I hate my life...nothing ever turns out right...well...almost nothing...all the girlfriends I ever had have ditched me for someone else...everything...in my life...sucks...*thinks*...except FS1 and FS2...

...well...I guess that's it...

Admins can lock this...just needed to vent that's all...

Thank you for your time...

a star destroyer? You can just get the official model (if you have the cash, that is), which from what I have heard is gigantic, probably as big as that model.

Anyway, that other thing is a cool MOC, although it doesn't look like much more than a display model. But if you really want big things, take a look at this one:

http://www.legotrucks.com/dennisbosman/html/intro/cmno04.html

(he says this thing is 13.7 feet high when fully extended)

But anyway, I don't think that good models are necessarily big, nor the converse. It's better to pack more functionality into a smaller space if possible.

What themes are you into? I mostly build space stuff on minifig scale along with just about anything technic, and I am also into some town, aquazone and model team things. Scored an unopened 6987 message intercept base recently, but I paid through the nose for it even though it was much cheaper than the usual prices for that set.

I need to try building some FS fighters sometime; the shivan color scheme would look excellent, and those destroyer droids included in a few of the star wars sets actually look a bit like shivans.

The other guy spelled his wrong.. that and it looks like he literally cut n' pasted.

Either way, uh.. it's just legos, and I'd assume your (ex)girl-friends weren't as into them as you are. Life sucks, if you can't handle it, get a helmet.

Just get that official 10030 model. Very, very expensive and little more than a display model, but people say it looks imposing and is worth it for the truckload of pieces alone. I will probably get one if I can find it on clearance somewhere, although I first want to acquire a metroliner pack and possibly another 8455 backhoe set, and I definitely don't have enough space in my room for it at the moment anyway.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Was I not the person who said, on the PCG forum, "Coursework is a waste of time. Lego is far more important, as it develops practical skills"?

yeah, I wouldn't buy it for the original price, but these large sets have a way of getting into clearance sales at retail outlets. Its price-for-piece ratio is still quite good and is comparable to most other sets; there are tons of plates, wings, 1x16 beams and gear racks, which makes it great for space and technic heads like myself. If I can find it for about $50 less then I will probably pick it up just for the wealth of parts.

Out of these model sets though, I think the 7181 TIE Interceptor is overall better, as it is much stronger and has a better color scheme and interior design (and is also built on minifig scale so you can put a pilot or something inside), although the price/piece ratio is about the same.

Here's a crazy thought-- If originality was one of the objectives of your magnum opus, then perhaps you should have selected a subject other than one of the most recognizable icons from one of the highest-grossing motion pictures in the history of the universe.

Hey Cor! I never knew you were an AFOL. I wish I was but I don't have the physical space yet. :blah: I'm still going to order the AT-AT though.

I have to say, Lego was one of the most significant driving forces behind my success in school. It also had an impact on my Freespace modeling; I like to build things then play with them. :D You can read all about it in my autobiography, Lego and Freespace: How Peter Oliver Became the Most Famous, Wealthy, and Successful Architect Ever being published in 2052.
