MOC: Technic B-25 Mitchell WIP Part 6

Finally got some more work done on my B-25 over the weekend so here's what I've done. I've added the other side of the nose section as well as completely replaced the control mechanism for the elevator control to using beams as the original way of doing that (using axles) wasn't going to work. I've also run the rudder control mechanism to the tail as well although I haven't added the actual rudders in yet.


I also came up with a preliminary design for the top turret.


And thats everything. Till next time.

MOC: Nebulon-B Frigate in LDD WIP part 4

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.

MOC: Nebulon-B Frigate in LDD WIP part 3

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.

MOC: Nebulon-B Frigate in LDD WIP part 2

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.

MOC: Nebulon-B Frigate in LDD WIP part 1

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.

MOC: Technic B-25 Mitchell WIP Part 5

More progress has been made on the B-25 in the past week so here's what I've done.

This past week I tried to focus on the placement of the motors for the landing gear and the mechanism to connect them to the actual landing gear. I also added the two main beams where the wings are going attach to.

This is the motor for the landing gear on the wings.
This is the motor of the nose landing gear.
And as usual a picture of the over progress, I'll probably work on the tail section a bit more and get the battery box mounted as well this next week.

MOC: Technic B-25 Mitchell WIP Part 4

I've managed to get a bit more work done on the B-25 over the past week so I thought I'd post another update on what I've done. First of I've done a bit of work on the control system so now the control stick has all it's outputs and I just need to connect them all to the control surfaces which will be done once I've actually made the control surfaces.


These two outputs are for the ailerons.
The other part I worked on was the tail. I replaced some of the 1x16 studded beams with 1x14 studded beams and started on the very beginnings of the tailplane.


And finally the overall progress I've made on the fuselage.
