88th Legion's CABG Venator

The... It's epic.
No more of my words are required on this post.
This thing is huge how heavy is it.

I picked it up so I'm guessing 40-60 lbs. I'll break it down and measure the breaks using a kitchen scale. I'll also count the bricks but I'm guessing 20,000 pieces +/- 5,000.

Rook how can you scrap this thing after all the work you put into this?

You can scrap a MOC in several different ways. My personal favourites include: Throwing it down the stairs, chucking it out a window or, my personal favourite, hacking to bits with mini chainsaws!

I can safely say this is over 9000. In what, I don't know, but it's over 9000.

*faints* *wakes up and takes another look* *faints again*

Love the use of the trans-blue windshields for the windows on the bridge.

Simple my desire to create more things out weighs my desire to let that much Lego sit on a shelf.

For those that want to know she weighed in at 46.75 lbs. I decided not to count the pieces after it took me 7 hours today just disassemble it.

I went through the pics again, and I saw power functions. What are they for?

Just the one I believe. It was retractable crane cable in the main hanger. Then there are 3 cranks. Two for opening the main hanger doors and third to rotate the primary ETA.

Scrapped...so soon.She was a good ship, aye, but din't get the glory she deserved. Aye, Rest in Peace the Glorious Rook and CABG Venator.

I agree the ship did not get enough glory. But it is one of the biggest venators I've ever seen.

Well here's the final update on the Vena"Tore".

CC's Throne:



Stripped to the Deck:



Crash Landing (Shredded! Pile is at least 4 inches deep in the centre.):



And finally the original WIP gallery pictures.

When I saw the huge pile of bricks I just went...

Ouch.

By the way, the Gallery link isn't working. Try this one.

Thanks CG it's fixed now.

That looks like it will take a while to sort. I am still in awe of how awesome the ship is, but it is to bad it has been scraped so soon.

You sure don't waste time. It would be a real pain to dust all 5ft of it though. It was cool to watch it progress from wip, to finished product, to parts.

That I would have to say kicks butt!I don't think I would mess with that.I would like to see a comparison photo to the LEGO set,I bet the LEGO set would be tiny!

Captain Slickfoot out.

Well it's in the gallery. Also note there's a spacebar on most computers, use it.

This is amazing. I find that you put the play functions in it stupendous. Bravo.
