What LEGO set did you build today?

[Halfrig]

Hello all.  I'm still new to the hobby, so I'm playing catch up.  I started with Star Wars and want to get into another theme eventually (maybe the City or Creator sets with actual buildings, not just partial buildings like that of 75139 Takodana).  I did pick up a good deal on 4 Batman sets (70909/70907/70906/66546), but debating of trading/selling versus building.  I think the UCS sets will be later down the road for me due to price for one set.  I'm currently holding out for 75054 and 75055 (they are my top two wants right now) if I can find a really great price locally.

All of my collection so far is the current/newish FA and RO (only 4 older sets: 75050/75049/75034/75094).

I recently finished 75105 and enjoyed it more than I thought that I would as I'm more into the Empire sets.

I did start building the 75050 B-wing last night (bags 1 and 2) with plans to either start 75104 or 75140 next.

Another 10030 update

Grebbling. Omg the grebbling. Step 29 I hate you.

[Alpinemaps]

Here's another 10030 update...(almost) done!

Still have to build the plaque and the Tantive IV. But the ISD is complete!

Due to last year's disappointing UCS sets I started looking at MOCs and was blown away by the Nebulon Frigate. ~ 5800 pieces later and this masterpiece now stands before me. Now addicted and can't wait for the next one. Thinking tie bomber, tie Interceptor or cavecods at at

[John82]

What are the dimensions of that thing!

[Edgarama]

Tall x Long would be my guess^

Tall x Long would be my guess^

120 cm long, 56 cm high and about 28 cm wide and very very heavy and fragile. Not looking forward to moving this

Someone's a master builder

Nah - Just really good instructions and ldd files.

Masterpiece!  Congrats on accumulating, organizing, and putting together 5800+ pieces.  That thing belongs in a glass case, far far away from the kids. Given the effort and magnificence maybe some KRAGLE?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the whole MOC cost?

[Pseudoty]

The instruction book is $50

Then you have to see how many of these parts you already have

this one is on my list around $800 if you buy all 5,728 elements 

nice work @LahH001

How stable is the base? It looks like you could breathe on it and it could fall over. I would be scared of tipping it over for sure. Really awesome work though!!

About £550. I did do a few substitutes of rare coloured parts where the parts weren't visible hence price was lot less than what some others have ended up spending. I also sourced bricks in mid 2016 as soon as instructions came out so it's probably cheaper since some of the parts are probably now more in demand.

Surprisingly stable. It's actually supported by only two connecting pins on The big supports. Initially I thought no way but so far no issues

10030 finished!

[Cheese]

Great looking set. Can't wait to build mine

[Brenner]

@Alpinemaps: what a fantastic build! The epic 10030, a set on the 2nd place on my wish list. Thanks for sharing the building process and pictures, appreciated! Now I have to create budget for a 10030 .

[marcandre]

Built this during the game last night. Recovered it from a bulk lot. The tail with the sticker was in tact, I'll need to order repro if I want the rest. It's much nicer than I ever thought.

Completed Sand blue grocer and then built the plane from 3182 yesterday.

Now you just need to get another one, MOC up a hammer head ship, and then have this one bifurcating the second one.

Finished up the UCS Imperial AT-ST 10174.  The kids and I are hooked on SW UCS sets at this point.  Next up is the UCS Tie and then the UCS Imperial Shuttle.  

On this set, we loved the detail that they added on the outside with some of the unusual pieces that were used.  We built most of it at my office where space is ubiquitous, and that made it a ton easier since it was a used set with all of the pieces mixed together.  Definitely going to try to do that with the Imperial Shuttle as well.  I do wish the set came with and At-St pilot, so we will probably BL a couple of those to put with the set.  

We also took a couple of pics with the new AT-ST 75153 and the AT-DP Micro Fighter 75130 (I don't have the 9679) for scale purposes.  It is tough to tell how large this set is without some sort of spacial context.

I've had mine for several years.  I need to break down and build it.
