 | | TIE Interceptor MOC and others

|
I've finally got around to building my first MOC, and I've finally created a BrickShelf account. After a lot of messing around I've managed to upload MPDs and renderings of my 2 Interceptor designs (first one replacement of wings on 7146 TIE Fighter (...)

(...) What about the "common" minifigure head-print smudge on those that are printed using more than one color? If we start talking about them, then I'll have to make a spreadsheet, mostly covering the Adventurer sets. P.S. In the last few years any (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

Geesh I have had "lots" of new sets parts not "melted" but pieces so brittle (not from cold) they break under normal human finger pressure. Anyone else? -- Kenneth A. Drumm Ph.D. (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I've got a new MOC, it's the Swoop Bike popularized by Shadows of the Empire. I borrowed heavily from the Lego Speeder Bike, and I also utilized a design by Dan Harp which I found on Brickshelf. He's got a couple of hover-bikes up which are pretty (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I do like these models. I've been inspired to do some of my own microfig stuff too. I gather that the point is to make the things as small as possible, whilst still retaining enough detail to make it recognisable. The only disappointment is (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, I'm in the US and I've had the same experience you've had with the SW sets... nothing defective, nothing missing, and usually some extras. In fact, I can't recall *ever* buying a set with defective or missing pieces. It's possible that (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

Iv'e had quite a few defects in the last few years. It started with the 8448 Super Street Sensation with the bad shocks that break over time. Then I got the Naboo Swamp that had a pair of warped pieces. Two of the 2x1 bricks with the claw coming out (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I don't have alot of sets yet but I am working on it :) I am trying to remember all the sets, some were from last year. I may have been exaggerating when I said in a row, however not by much. I know my snowspeeder had a melted piece, and my b-wing, (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hunh. I've never had a melted piece, out of hundreds over the last few years. I've never had a missing piece, either (that wasn't obviously in-store theft). I have had a very few mis-printed elements, but certainly not more than 10 (and I (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
