I received this model as a gift and it is absolutely glorious. Unfortunately mine is a Chinese bootleg not Lego branded, so I'll need to get on the Vault website and pay the creator for the instructions. Absolutely incredible MOC!
I've built both of these. The Viper had a couple mistakes in the documentation (the L bar inside the nose engine bay should be visible) I also modded the cockpit canopy to be 1/3 stud higher which matches up great with the nose/enclosure. The dark red pieces were expensive, as some were exclusive to a couple older sets. Same with the technic panels under the dorsal fin. Price those out if you are considering this build. The engines in the back consist of 3 tires and 12 track treads each. If you substitute the tires for the same ones that come with the Mac Anthem technic set, it requires 13 track treads each. The base could use a re-design for structural strength. This is one heavy MOC. It (and the cylon raider), are an iconic piece of my childhood. They were both very expensive to build for the simple fact that if you Bricklink, you need to get NEW white/light grey pieces. Same with the canopy. There is a good chance you will order a used one and it comes scratched or discoloured (like my first order)
The main challenge to a build of this size is managing and sorting the large number of parts without the benefit of numbered bags. It requires a large work area considering you also need to make room for a device to display the PDF file instructions. It would have been so nice if Lego could have released this model. Having said that, I am personally starting the construction of this great fighter from Battlestar Galactica.
Would be nice to see a Babylon 5 fighter, either of the Earth Force models but I imagine the later Thunderbolt would be easier due to the amount of unusual glass of the earlier model.
Hey BrickVault, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to find minifig scale. I am trying to find some way to find out how many studs equal that many feet/meters. Thanks!
Does anyone else think the air intake on the bottom looks a bit bigger than it should be? Idk if that's just me or if its a bit wonky lookin. (Probably to get the landing gear into it.) The rest of the model looks fantastic, I'll have to get the instructions someday soon!
Is this the MOC build? I just got the bricks from MOC wanted a better build manual that they give you. Can I use your build manual for their brick blocks?
question stays: what does it cost me to order all these parts ? and also the minifig version… how much does that one cost me to buy when buying all bricks ?
@@lolcompany4u I built the small one and I live in Canada the cost was about 130 for the parts with shipping, I left a review on Bricklink, some parts of the build would benefit from glue.
Have the TIE Fighter/Interceptor instructions been updated to have an interior more similar to that of the TIE Defender that you sell? Most importantly, can the current TIE Fighter MOC now hold a TIE pilot with the newer helmet mold?
@@gmorgan056 k that makes more sense LOL ty for clearing that up. see most of us lego folks have tubs or pieces about to build and all we need really is the paper instructions which is why it seemed expensive.
I think the Viper is one of the most beautiful star fighters ever designed

Personally i think the minifig one is more accurate but this has some great moving parts !
Just finished the show today. Bought the instructions a little while back, and can't wait to build it!! Thanks guys 👍
Beautiful! UCS Galactica and Pegasus scaled to each other would be nice. And a Basestar.
Scaled to the UCS viper would be better ^^
Yes please id pay for one

I love this, I always love seeing a good Galactica build, if I had the money I'd totally be ordering the parts and the instructions to build this!!!!

I don't know too much about Battle Star Galactica, but this looks pretty cool.
Love it! Personally I would really love to see the ships from the older 1978 shows. Viper Mk.I and the Cylon saucers
You could've easily yanked some random stickers from a Star Wars interior to deck out this interior. A superb build, indeed!
This thing is so flipping cool
This is the best non-Star Wars ship ever
Would be nice to see a Babylon 5 fighter, either of the Earth Force models but I imagine the later Thunderbolt would be easier due to the amount of unusual glass of the earlier model.
Yep, gonna buy the parts list! thank you!!
This looks so good
Where can I buy the pieces?

The front nose comes off, quite frequently during assembly.

Hi. I'd love to get this model and build it. Long time BSG fan. How do I get the pieces and how much would I expect it to cost?
Awesome model but no size comparison?
Just got my Bricks for the UCS Colonial Viper LEGO, I'm assuming the 24 bags are not in any specific order... :)

i kinda notice of flesh wound on your hands when you open the cockpit
The 1970s viper was the viper mk 1
are there any instructions for the smaller one? i live them both, but my wallet has no room for the big one. :(. so say we all!.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!
Wow
Nice
Rebel base Moc???? VÍDEOS???
We're waiting for parts, patience :)
It would be awesome to see a movie reboot, kinda like JJ. Abrahm’s Star Trek movies
Do you have a link to the smaller one at 0:40? This one's too pricey for me.
The small one costs 13 dollars you can find the link on the description of their web page and search there

i cant build the engine with the instructions :-(
Will you be doing a video on the UCS Raptor? That thing looks amazing in the store.
Yes :)
Awesome
Is this a MOC-month?
Every month is a MOC month!
Have the TIE Fighter/Interceptor instructions been updated to have an interior more similar to that of the TIE Defender that you sell? Most importantly, can the current TIE Fighter MOC now hold a TIE pilot with the newer helmet mold?
Jerac is working on some cockpit updates as far as we know so if he updates the instructions, we will be happy to update the files in the store.
BrickVault cool! You guys are awesome! Keep up the amazing work
Very cool
I think it’s great!
OK, I'll ask, what does MOC stand for?
My Own Creation
I think it is an incredible looking Viper. Well done to the designer. Do I want one? - Yes. Could I ever afford to build one? - Never.
Jacques Misere never say never! 😉
daviddup : I’ve actually done some research on the smaller minifig scale viper. I think I can afford that one 😬
Allready build it
How do you like it?
@@BrickVault easy to build, makes a lot of fun and Stickers are avalible on my eBay 😉
If this was a set, how much will it cost?
$300-$315 per the description
@@sed6 + Thanks!
May not be star wars bot it's still just as awesome 👍 😊
Amazing
This is the model that is on sale on aliexpress?
So Say We All !
You've said "Ever so slightly" about three times to be precise :)
prefer the old 80's tv show cylon raider.
Starbucks name is wrong on this model it is Hara her name is Cara
Ashen Shugar it is actually a « K » for Kara...
am I reading it correctly in the video... u want 300 bucks for the instructions and stickers?
The instructions are only $25. Ordering the pieces from Bricklink to build it will come out to be around $300.
