I recently decided to build the Juggernaut from 86 -Eighty Six- so I thought I'd post some WIP images of my current progress so far.
As you can see from the next couple of images they are different as I had to finally switch from LDD to Bricklink Studio 2.0 as LDD just doesn't have the a lot of the newer parts.
And thats my current progress so far, Still a few things to change and improve I think but getting there. :)
Been a while since I last posted however I'm back with just a fairly small MOC this time, A Working H-24 Engine. Been meaning to post this for a while but only just got around to doing it, Not much to say about it really, It's a fairly simple design for a H-24 24 cylinder engine. For the most part it was inspired by the Napier Sabre engine although it's not a complete model of it as you can see, Just the actual core mechanical part, A generic H-24 engine I suppose. I have plans to put this into a MOC I'm planning on making at some point, Maybe when I finish the current one I'm working on. Anyway, on with the pictures:
I also made it in LDD so I would know how to rebuild it in the future.
A video of it being directly powered by a PF M motor.
The .io file can be downloaded from bricksafe if you want to see hows it's put together or anything:
Just a quick update today. I've been working on the colours a bit since the last update as well as a few smaller details here and there. I've changed the plates where the red line is to be a bit smoother and I've also added a bit of colour to certain places as well.
I've been working on the engine design a bit more over the past few days and something I noticed was that the design I made before had 8 cylinders however the actual radial engine in the B-25 is a 14 cylinder twin row radial engine so there should actually be 7 cylinders at the front. I had to think about it for a while but I've come up with a possible design for 7 cylinders. I'm thinking this is going to be more or less the final design for the engines as I've got the look somewhere around where I want it and it lets the axle spin freely. What do you all think?
I've done a bit more work on my Nebulon B Frigate over the past week and what I've been focusing on this time is the colours. I've done a test render in pov-ray to see what the colours are going to look like when I do the final renders as the colours are a bit different in LDD to LDView/Pov-ray as you can see in these two pictures. What do you think?
Another quick update today on the engine design of my B-25 project. I managed to come up with a possible design for the radial engines in the B-25 in LDD. What do you all think?
A bit of a different update today as I haven't got much progress done on the actual model however I have been trying to come up with a good design for the front of the engines. I've made this in LDD as I don't really have the pieces to make it on the actual model and I'm just trying to come up with ideas at the moment.
I think it looks better than it looks now but I kinda want a design for a radial engine to go in the front however I haven't though of one yet. But anyway that's all for this time.
Another update on my Nebulon B Frigate today. I've done quite a bit of work on the rear engine section to make the shape of it look a bit closer to the actual thing although I have messed up the internal structure a bit but oh well, I'l fix that at some point.
Still a bit more internal work to be done as well as external details but thats all for now. Till next time.
Been working on the Nebulon-B Frigate over the week end so I thought I'd post a update.
First thing I did was work on the plates on the front section quite a bit so they look a bit more like the actual thing. I've also increased the strength of the center section by adding a second row of beams under the original row. These two main beams almost run straight through the entire length of the model so it should be much stronger now.
I've gotten some more progress done on the Nebulon B Frigate over the past few days so here's what I've got done.
Biggest thing that's changed since the last update is I've completely rebuilt the front section so it's now wider and a bit better overall shape now. I've also added plates to the sides of the center spar to help with the look of it.
Still a bit more work to do on the front sections plates but that's it for this update. Till next time.
I've been working on my Nebulon B Frigate over the past few days so here's an update on what I've done. I've added a bit more detail to the rear section as well as finished off the detail on the bottom of the front section. I've also been thinking about the colours so I still need to sort them out and there might also be a few minor tweaks here and there as well. I also need to sort out the internal structure as it's a bit of a mess at the moment.
Also I should hopefully have a update to my B-25 soon as I've finally got a few more of the pieces I needed to carry on building it.
I've got some more progress done over the past few days so here is an update on what I've done. I've done the other side of the front section as well as started work on the very bottom part of the from section, I've also added more detail to the rear section. I'll probably do a bit more work on the rear section as well as the bottom of the front section next.
I've gotten a bit more done over the past few days so I thought I'd post an update on what I've done. I've replaced the bricks on the rear section with slope bricks and done a bit more work on the front section as well. I still need to do the same for the other side and work on the rear section a bit more.
Still a lot more work to do but it's getting there I think.
So I finally got around to working on the Nebulon-B Frigate again that I started building in MLCad quite a while ago however I've decided to build it in LDD (Lego Digital Designer) instead. This way
it will be a bit easier for me to make it in LDD. I imported the old model so all that progress is still there so I'll use that as a base to carry on with it. I've done a bit of work on it already but there's still quite a bit left to do. here's my progress so far.
I'll hopefully be posting updates to this any week that I don't have an update for my B-25 project so I should get a update out on either build at least once a week. Anyway till next time.
