Haha, you caught me! Razz

Nah, I just managed to get the remaining parts last weekend, but it'll be a fun MOC of the month battle.

Update #20

It is finally complete!

Completion Progress Report

Nose Section: Exterior: 100% Interior: 100%
Main Bay Section: Exterior: 100% Interior: 100%
Secondary Bay Section: Exterior: 100% Interior: 100%
Conduit Section: Exterior: 100% Interior: 100%
Tail Section: Exterior: 100% Interior: 100%

Seven months minus one week. And then if you remember I didn't touch my Lego for about 4 weeks straight around October/November. So actually building time just shy of 6 months. Hola Wow!

I did manage to squeeze in a 4th place winning PodRacer for FBTB, an at least 3 displays for Lego Stores in Ontario, a micro PodRacer for Flickr contest. An extra PodRacer and Ventress' Fanblade. Not to mention the half dozen smaller ships and vehicles that got crammed inside her. (See Psionic Sisters)

I started taking pictures last night around 9:45pm and at about 10:30pm I stopped and went to bed. I think I’m about 1/3 (exterior of sections) of the way through the pictures I need to take. Then next 1/3 of pictures will be harder (interior of sections). The last 1/3 will be the hardest and most time consuming as I start to assemble the sections and then try to move this massive SHIP as single piece.

Contest. Contest! Contest?

And now for the contest that you didn't know you were in!?

Drum Roll!

It was only a link too. I almost DQ'd it but I didn't specify that that you had to embed the picture so I tossed it in the pool. My mother-in-law wasn't a fan of Wicked's but then she really doesn't get anything I do. Just that I'm into Lego. My father-in-law is a total softy and crazy jock at the same time and really like the 3 Musketeers idea. I voted the same way in the end because of the blend of themes and sticking to color pallet. The Mrs. was all over the map and settled with the feather and light saber combo.

I'll have one more build this Fall with this theme and then final ideas around my "Corps" based projects will be over. I have to build a counter part for my Rook's Rook. Wink

I'm thinking:

Aw, wow, I made it to the last round. Congrats Wicked.

So between dead batteries on camera followed by dead batteries on hand held lighting and several busy days of work. I’m almost finished photographing it. I should be able to post pictures tomorrow!

Sadly this didn't not turn out the way I wanted it too. So many issues once again proving that size matters not. Technique is everything. The support craft in this thing are awesome though. I had a lot of fun building crazy and unusual ships and vehicles and several recognizable ones as well.
