![]() Currently they do not look "out of place" If I decide to leave them there, I will try and put a couple of pictures up to show the mods. ![]() As for stability, size makes a couple of wing sections a tad flimsy, so I have added 2x4 black technic plates for now to keep things tight. All in all, since starting the wings, it's been more than a "tad fiddely", but there is a sense of "satisfaction" as each section is solved and completed. So I have built up a "block" of wood to sit the hull on, allowing the wings to keep a stable angle while I "try" to locate where the next stages build on. I'm now on stage 166/167, and the image doesn't help in building, as at this stage, the wing fixing points to the hull are not yet "fixed" and the sheer size prevents much "maneuvering" of the hull and wings. The 2nd wing build was more straight forward, layout, tile, then build up strength, this time I left the "hinge build" part until after I had completed the main section, and then went back to build up the hinge section. First wing was awkward as it shows to layout the outer shape, then start the hinges, then "flip it over", I followed to the letter but found it time consuming. I am finding some of the instructions errm how do I put it, "a Pain". Sorry to be honest, but I am trying to be kind. Otherwise, people like me are 'guinea pigs', doing the testing for you.which is expensive for me, time consuming, and frustrating that it was not done properly in the first place. Yes, it costs money to buy the bricks, but you can use any colour you want, just for testing, though it's better to build the whole thing as per your instructions, to truly test that it works. It's best to build something like this IRL to test that it works. I don't want to be hard on you, but if people pay money for instructions and parts, and try to build it, and it doesn't will be even harder for you when people criticise you. The ship is heavy, so the slightest wobble will see these pieces tilt and collapse, ending in tears. Oh, and the stand? Nice to have the option, but.you are supporting the whole ship atop four 1x1x5 bricks?!!!!! That will not work! I acknowledge it takes time and creativity to design, it's not always easy, BUT that will fail immediately. I have done a lot of MOC builds and honestly this was the worst one I tried and now I question if I want to ever do another one of this designers MOC's. ![]() The structures on the ship that hold the wings are the worst I have ever seen. The fin on top of the ship has no physical means of connecting the pieces together in the middle so get your super glue out for this. The wings are extremely unstable and fall apart due to the weight and not enough support. the front bottom part of the cockpit appears to be magically connected as their are no connecting pieces for it. instructions show additional pieces on the build, but there is no instructions on these pieces actually being connected. ![]() Let's go over the issues I had with this MOC: - instructions do not show how all the pieces are connected or you can't see how they are connected due to the angle in the pictures. If this designer would have actually built this MOC he would have seen the issues with his instructions and the build itself. So I wasn't going to post anything because I don't like posting negative reviews unless absolutely deserved and I am sure the designer worked very hard to create this, but this MOC is complete garbage. Warning!!! Read before purchasing instructions or any parts for this MOC build.
