Or the Ebon Hawk

😮

Duuuude...

@@BrickVault At the end 2022 when I did a blitz of posting my BV builts, it happened in that time after I took the shots of the combo. I was at least able to take the shots before disaster happened. They're all back in shape, no worries 😉

Yep this exactly. Doug Chiang finally made it clear that only the cargo hold rotates a few years ago.

@@fritz404 Well, that is also an invention for Mando. Doug Chiang only came to Star Wars in 95 and so he didn't design the Slave 1, except for Episode II. The problem with the rotating cargo hold thing is, that McQuarrie's matte painting for Bespin had both cockpit sections at the same angle. And frankly it makes zero sense for it to swivel about.

Thanks! Ya know that was always my suspicion too. I think the main issue for a lot of folks was that the JS1 dark green just looks black (or very dark gray) on screen in episode two. The toy designers at the time most likely got raw digital files with no stylized lighting as seen in Kamino or the Geonosian asteroid field, so they naturally chose the color that registered well based on the given materials. What really mixed things up though was the color scheme of JS1 on the clone wars show. There it really doesn't look dark green (maybe the middle section a little) and it's seen in many differently lit environments. Even after it's destroyed and rebuilt (and it gets the red shell painted on and the all-white middle section), the shoulders still look more black than green. I frankly wouldn't be surprised if some folks choose to make the middle section of the JS1 dark green and keep the shoulder black, in the end, it's really up to what makes you feel right when building your model :)

Fire spray? Is that kinda like how Darth mauls ship is called the scimitar but is called a sith infiltrator?

@@sidneyhuckabee3598 fire spray is the actual class of the ship, the slave one is the name

So yeah it is the same thing haha 🤣

I'm hoping to merge the two so that I can build the Boba colour scheme but have it actually be accurate to canon. I don't know if I can afford the time commitment though...

Gotta love doggos

Mhm, The Slave One is a really interesting and iconic ship.

We use lego branded everything for all our models. Nothing against off-brank compatible parts, they're honestly not bad. I've built an extra x-wing out of them just to know what it was like. Pretty decent stuff (never used a 3mm hose before though). With a precariously precise model like this, I say proceed with caution when using off-brand parts, small inconsistencies in a mold or two may have dire consequences on an already delicate build.

the technic internals are always rough to fix. everything gotta come off to get back inside the model

Minifigure scale typically goes by a minifigures height. Minifigures have quite odd body proportions. Imaging a person as wide as their legs are long. Star wars ships also tend to have a bit of a tardis effect where they can be bigger on the inside when looking at official sources for overall dimensions (what's typically used for scaling) and what then appears on screen. For this model specifically, the sizing and proportions are largely correct. However, some things had to be adjusted to compensate for the official ucs slave 1 cockpit piece being a little small

@@spantonb9k5 ahhh okay! thanks for the info. makes sense then why the cockpit looks a bit out of scale then. But true I guess there are no other good slave 1 cockpit pieces to use, or any other pieces available at that matter

All that info should be on their website :)

@@DylanValenti ah, but I am being lazy and asking on here ;)

Instruction is 60usd and the parts are 950-1050usd

Why is the Millennium Falcon called the Millennium Falcon? Sometimes things don’t need a backstory for their name

HAHAHAHA! Y'all will never get over that hey? Miserable...

@@grindingbricks it’s a joke bro, relax :)

@@rotationalbox588 I'm relax as it can be, laughing at it and that's it 😉
