Its been along time since I posted here... lets see if I can remember how this
works. Thought I would start off the new year with a new MOC post.
As a volunteer aboard the museum ship S.S. Lane Victory, I thought I would try
my hand at a micro-scale model (roughly 1 stud = 10ft) of her in LDD. Got her
done just in time to order a few copies before the designByME service shuts
down.
Model utilizes extensive “snot” work for the hull form. Click image for link to
brickshelf. Gallery will be updated with photos of the real thing once I get my
order in from TLG.
Some info about the S.S. Lane Victory:
Victory class merchant ship launched May 31, 1945. One of 531 hulls built,
she sailed as a cargo vessel during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War. She
participated in the amphibious evacuation of Wonson and Hungnam during the
Korean war, rescuing over 7000 Korean refugees in one trip.
She is currently a museum ship moored today in San Pedro, California and a
memorial honoring all merchant seamen. Today the S.S. Lane Victory conducts
annual summer “Victory at Sea” cruises enabling today’s generations experience
what life at sea was like during the war.

Thanks to Aaron for resurrecting this forum with the first now post in 8
months! Here’s my own contribution of a new MOC this week:
105mm howitzer mounted on a M3 tank chasis. The M7 was an indispensable
self-propelled and was directly responsible for halting numerous German
counterattacks in North Africa and Europe. This particular model is outfitted
for British use in North Africa...

I heard that an Aussie shot down the Baron, and now another one has resurrected
him! Good stuff.

The bullet hole effect is great. Very nice work.

Now back to continue what was started, He continues to war war on allied Pilots
90 years after his death, All fear the DEAD BARON
The inspiration for this came when sorting parts, and I saw a pair of goggles on
a skull. the I saw the sheer number of light sabre blades and flag I owned, and
the Idea took shape.
In the process of creating the DR1, I had to make an Undamaged one as a template
for the Battle scarred one. The scale is a little large for a minifig, but it is
as small as I wanted to go to preserve detail. The undamaged DR1 is quite
swooshable.

Hey Andrew,
This is really nice! It has the feel of a Lego set, and the landing gear are
especially well done! Nice use of the X-Wing nose piece too!
Great work!

Check out the "Spectre"
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=345318
This is my 1st attempt at making a starfighter with a fixed swept-forward
wing design. It probably comes off more as a futuristic jet than a starfighter.
It features 2 laser cannons, 4 missiles, & retractable landing gear.
LMKWYT,
Todd
