Help Identify! Venator Class Destroyer & Invisible Hand

[srm_520]

So I'm watching an awesome video many of you may have seen about a UCS collection:

So, I'm 3:03 into the video and bam!  There is an awesome Venator Class Star Destroyer.  My problem is, pardon my igornace, what set is that?  I've seen the 8039 Venator class attack crusier many times, but I can't seem to find this set other than MOCs.  Can someone point me in the correct path?

 

Also, right next to it is an Invisible Hand  - anyone know that Lego set # while we're at it.  Both are very cool.

Great video, but I think that those two sets are MOCs.

Sigh, just need to learn to read a little more - looks like they are MOC's along with the podracer too.  Still worth a look though - some amazing sets!

No UCS Venator set.

Here's the non-UCS one: 8039-1: VENATOR-CLASS REPUBLIC ATTACK CRUISER. It's not a UCS, but it's the only large set with "venator" in name.

It's a Moc. So is the invisible hand and both podracer. I've watched this vid 8 times probably. Awesome Sauce.

It does sort of resemble the one in the LEGO SW Visual Dictionary, on page 94. Then again, it is the same vehicle/ship...

 

Here's a picture/article of a similar build I am talking about. It was made by Erik Varszegi, a LEGO employee. 8 feet long, 150 lbs, and 35000 pieces. The one in the article is 8 feet long, 180 pounds, and 43000 pieces. 

 

EDIT: Found a FBTB article with the actual build.

 

EDIT #2: Here's the a picture for those of you who are lazy and don't feel like clicking...

Sadly, yes - I believe there were 5 MOC's in that set.  It was seeing the name placards that threw me off because it looked so official.  There was a flickr link that shows them in detail.  the Chrome plated set was amazing, and that Selbulba podracer is like 3400 pieces.  insane.

Why was this the first thing that popped into my head when looking at the back of the Imperial Star Destroyer?
