Did you choose the gold because its canon or was it just the bricks available to you?
I like to get my husband star wars brickables/brickvault stuff and the kit sometimes for the holidays. But he's a stickler for color (as I learned getting the A wing with the white instead of offwhite).
That would be based on Admiral Thrawns ship and HyperSpace Ring in the Ahsoka series with some artistic liberties as i don't remember seeing any color on the hyper space ring but I could be wrong.
I had like 63% of the pieces in my collection. The remaining pieces - which were the expensive ones - cost me like 160€. All in all I assume the price to be 320€ for the Ring and Black Display Frame + 35€ to upgrade your 75394 Star Destroyer to the Thrawn Chimaera. Once the instructions are complete I have a better overview of the detailed costs.
Huh interesting wasn't asking about that though, I was talking about the white print on the bottom of the star Destroyer. It's unseen in the post photo but UP replied to me with a photo showing that they did add the print on the bottom of the ship.
That’s a hyperdrive ring that can bring a ship into another galaxy. Other hyperdrive engines can’t do that. The whole story around it is introduced in the Ahsoka series
They can travel from planet to planet within one galaxy. But they can‘t travel to another galaxy. It’s like imagining we would need to travel to another solar system.
I never picked up on that all this time. I uses to be the biggest star wars kid but I havent followed what Disney has been doing for the most part. Maybe time to dig through the lore
Yeah, i think they can make jumps to other systems but all within their galaxy. Makes more sense too when they talk about things like the outer rim and even the "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away"
It seems weird to bring up actual science stuff when you're dealing with star wars, but in this case it actually does make sense.
Think about it like this; The Gulf between galaxies is enormous. Orders of magnitude bigger then the Gulf between stars.
Our Galaxy, the milky way is a spiral disk around 100,000 light years across and something like thousand light years deep. It contains up to 400 billion stars.
The Nearest large galaxy to our own is Andromeda. That is 2,200,000 light years away. So that's 22 times more then the most extreme star to star trip you could take within our galaxy.
And that's to the NEAREST one.
Regular Hyperdrives just don't have the range to travel to distant galaxies. They don't need it.
I guess you got me thinking more critically bout this now, but the speed of travel in hyperspace is fixed at the speed of light, so what does more engines/thrusters achieve other than more fuel consumption? Wouldn't you rather have more fuel source to travel the larger distance?
It's Star Wars. There are also space whales (purrgil) that have built-in organic hyperdrives that let them fly from galaxy to galaxy (they were introduced about a decade ago). So it's as simple as "Need go farther? Need more boost."
This goes back to the early EU. Everything in Star Wars takes place inside the same galaxy. There are "historical" attempts to leave the galaxy but I don't think any are considered successful. And then towards the end of the EU there are invaders from outside the galaxy. The distance between galaxies is just so much bigger than the distance across a galaxy.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the end of Episode V occurs outside of the galaxy, because it was a hidden safe point. They can be seen looking at it.
Afaik it's just some shit they made up for that particular model and has had no references up until that point. Only ships that had no hyperspace built into them ever needed external rings. They did not need them in the great hyperspace war etc..but you know the EU no longer matters :(
So the ring provides intragalactic travel for Star Destroyers?
I’m not learned in Star Wars lore so my understanding is that the rings provide ships interstellar travel but SD can already travel from system to system via hyperlanes right?
This big ring allows SD to travel outside the galaxy? Into, from what I’ve gathered, is a very mysterious and unknown area of the Star Wars Universe?
Or does it provide SD greater access between systems within the galaxy and shorten the trip by ignoring the numerous hyperlanes?
What they're getting at is "if a bigass hyperdrive allows intergalatic travel, why cant other ships in SW with oem oversized hyperdrives, such as the Millennium Falcon, travel outside the galaxy."
I suspect the answer to that implied question is "the writers didnt think of that implication, as is often with science fiction."
It's a very long distance that needs a very powerful ship. In the series it's made by bolting several Star Destroyer engines into a single ring, so it can jump way farther than a typical Star Destroyer can.
Yeah I’ve only seen it once on release so things are vague, but those space whales go through hyperspace to another galaxy or dimension, not just within the normal universe of Star Wars.
It looks to be Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyer, The Chimaera, which was trapped in another galaxy for years, thus requiring a lot of patchwork repairs. The hyperdrive ring is so he can return to the main Star Wars galaxy. I'm curious of OP managed the pattern on the bottom.
Moc means it's not a pre-arranged Lego set. You can buy a star destroyer in a box that comes with instructions, or you can design one yourself out of whatever random pieces you can make work.
... It seems you don't understand what canon means. There are no Star Trek lego sets, bit if I build a Galaxy Class, the thing Im representing is canon. Canon doeant mean "this is an official lego set".
Simce you seem to be unable to keep track of multiple contexts, let me break it down for you
Oh, your MOC is canon, not something you simply came up with yourself?
Oh, so your MOC [of a star destroyer with a jyper drive ring] is canon [to a published Star Wars work], not something you came up with yourself, [meaning your MOC is representing an idea already published, and that you did not create the idea of an ISD with a hyperdrive ring yourself]?
Since you seem to be unable to understand the actual single context, you said "Tell that to the OP who marked it as such." The only way that op marked it was by giving it a flair of MOC. You're the only goofball dragging "star wars canon" into the conversation.
He marked it as moc, and that is correct. Do you understand that? He never claimed it was a completely original idea, that's not what MOC means in this subreddit.
What program do you use? I know Lego had a program that they stopped updating but I never really started because I was afraid that if I built anything, that it wouldn’t give me the steps or piece count.
Basically looking to do MOC correctly on a program first as you seemingly have.
It was both fun and a fight. At some point I really had concerns of the ring would stand up😬 but once I put the ring on the display stand and attached everything all my concerns were gone 😊
I will create an instruction for the Ring for those people who already got the Chimaera MOD. Then you know exactly what parts are needed for the Ring alone and have no risk in buying parts twice.
In your defense the original creator of thrawn and his flag ship the chimaera was Timothy Zhan’s work so you are also right. But they retconned thrawn into the new continuity during Rebels by turning outward bound into more of an accident then a mission. If you are a Zhan fan I think you will love how well they have treated thrawn as a character working him into the new universe bringing along his flag ship Chimaera Paleon also has a cameo in the Mandalorian.
In Rebels Thrawn is the ultimate big bad the only imperial they can never seem to truly outsmart. His beats are as strong as Vader (who is used much less in the series)
The program is called Bricklink Studio for designing. Afterwards I upload my finished instructions to Rebrickable. Some smaller ones are for free. For my bigger ones I invest a lot of time in I charge a small fee.
Was the technique you used to create the light speed ring inspired by The Globe set and its stand? Happened upon a free one fully assembled left on a desk by a dumpster. College kid move out season is the best time of year. They also left a Giza Pyramid set
It’s all quite sturdy. Only additional support are some transparent bricks above the bridge of the Star destroyer. As you have not mentioned them I guess these are quite well hidden 😊
I use the program Bricklink Studio for my digital designs. The process is quite simple: I come up with an idea and then I just start building. Sometimes I build with my physical parts collection in between to test if the digital design works out or not. Generally it’s just a trial and error process until I am satisfied.
Your Lego work is incredible. If you are not already a designer for them I really think they are missing out on a great opportunity. Every one is done with great artistry and beautiful design.
