Lego Star Destroyer Bridge

[BG-57]

I've been having a hard time deciding which forum to put this in. I decided to put it here, since it's technically a 'project'. I'm cool with the mods moving it if need be.

I've always enjoyed Legos growing up and once they started making Star Wars stuff I thought: 'Wouldn't it be neat if they made a model of an Imperial Star Destroyer, to scale with the minifigures?' Since that was unlikely to be forthcoming I decided to design one of my own.

I used Microsoft Paint to make a geometric grid the size of a large baseplate and superimposed a circle on it to the approximate size of the central pit. I then drew up blueprints for each layer of bricks, calculating the total number for each.

The figures I kitbashed from a set called 'Final Duel' It had an Imperial officier, Luke Skywalker, and a Stormtrooper. I waited until they were heavily marked down and bought a whole bunch. Any suggestions as to what to do with 17 Luke Skywalker figures would be appreciated.

I made a half scale model to work out the way to place the curved wall panels. The computer bricks and hinge pieces came from ebay. Most of the grey bricks I ordered from Lego directly.

At the last minute I decided to make lower levels with office space and a Stormtrooper's barracks.

so if you use that as a scale base and had enough money/time you could build the whole thing. think of it, damn thing would be the size of a car. maybe have some pvc support struts to hold it upmaybe coat the thing with superglue chuck it off a bulding and see if it survives the fall

You may laugh but I heard of one person who made a harpsicord to human scale. That works. With everything made of Legos except the wires.

That's pretty awesome. Kudos, hope you can get it finished without screaming in a rage XD

you sir are my hero.
I would love to see you work out a full custom model.
I love star wars, I love legos. Ilove lego star wars.
I have a fe models, but not all of them.
ps do you know where I can find PDF or image directions for construction, cause I lost one of my more impressive models directions. and I wanna build it again.

I think a complete Star Destroyer to minifigure scale would only be feasible if I won the lottery.

lego.com has downloadable building instructions. Maybe they have some of your set.

EDIT: Come to think of it, which set was it?

It's the B-Wing.
I miss looking at it =(

And the V-Wing Fighter.
Edit: got the v-wing. been the b-wing. =(

Very cool.

Every now and then I tell myself I should drag out my legos and build something cool like that, but I never get around to it.

The newer B Wing, or the older one?

Well, my suggestion is to build a partial model to see if your design is feasible. Then build the full scale model.

wow thats pretty ace
you should keep making new, uncreated star wars areas.
do the geonosian arena xD

Uh..no idea. I guess the newer one. I didn't get it too long ago.

If you like I can make construction blueprints for it. Or did you want me to actually build it?

Sounds like the newer B wing, the one with the yellow stand so you can store it in the vertical position. I have instructions for that one.

Awesome! As much as I love messing around with Legos, I have no patience when it comes to making something like that. *Kudos for you!

I accept Paypal. Bricks cost money you know.

Proxy, here are the scans of the first few pages. I can only post five scans per post.
