  My Galactic Challenge Model
 
Greetings, Some of you may have seen the recent posts of my MTT and AAT models. Thanks for the praise.

(...) Wow, Brian! I saw this on Brickshelf and I thought someone had taken the pics at a LEGO display or something. Very nice work! ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'll second that! I thought much the same thing. As everyone's favorite Sith Lord would say... "Impressive... *most* impressive!" eric (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: My Galactic Challenge Model
 
Brian, Wow! Umm... Wow! :-) I would really like to be able to see more detail, I’m just getting to the point where I can start building some MOCs and I can see that there is a lot for me to learn! How in the world did you connect all of those plates (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

Nice work Brian. It looks much better in person. (...) Dear LEGO, I would also like to see some pictures of the winning entry from Charles Weber of VA now that the contest is over. How about it LEGO? Are you listening? Please respond to this. Today (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.dear-lego)

Ronald, The side mounted docking bay bricks were mounted to vertical standing technic beams (the ones with holes)with braces between them. The floor of the base was made sturdy by inter-connecting 3 flat plates. Brian (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

Brian, umm... ya, what he said.. :-) are there any examples of that type of construction saved in a cad file so I can tear it apart to see what you're talking about? Thanks! Ron (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: My Galactic Challenge Model
 
It looks great Brian, but I wish we could have gotten better pics. These were prints that we re-shot with my digital camera. Although the camera is great at shooting the original subjects, we really need a scanner for these older non-digital shots. (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: My Galactic Challenge Model
 
Ronald, Possibly there are some cad files out there with the design or something similar but wouldn't no where to look. Give me a little time and can rebuild one and post some pics of it if you like. Brian (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: My Galactic Challenge Model
 
Brian, That would be really awesome! The first thing I'll probably need that info for is an AT-AT walker... I really want to build one of those. Do you know of anyone who has posted DAT files for it? How about yours? Looks really good. Do the legs (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: My Galactic Challenge Model
 
Ronald, I'll build up a leg for you and take some pics. However, to give you some insight on the designs used on the model: 1. The pieces of the legs are perpendicular to the ground, that is the studs are facing to the side rather than to the top. (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
