- Welcome to Dubbzi Bricks
This build series is all about trying to make an 11 Foot long TANTIVE IV from Star Wars A New Hope out of LEGO.
First of all a MASSIVE Thank you to everyone the watched, liked, shared, commented and Subscribed to the Channel on episode 3. It was so nice to see the love and excitement around what I hope will be an epic build series. Your support is appreciated so much.
This update I work on the cylinder the opposite side to the boarding corridor. I also work on the corridor section where Princess Leia hands the plans over to R2-D2.
I hope you enjoy the video. If you do please drop me a COMMENT, LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE.
Thanks for watching.
Wow! What a massive build Andy. The structure you need for it looks insane. Fantastic building techniques used! The details are amazing. This build is Champions League!!! 😊 Thanks for sharing this epic series with us. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you SOOOOOO much and for the donation @brickeridoo-builds-LEGO 🙏. Your generosity helps with the build so much and can't thank you enough for your support.
Im not joking when I say ur channel is exactly what I been looking for. Someone who builds SW mocs and shows the whole process. I really hope more people start following ur example and start showing this stuff on their videos. Surprisingly very little of it on the internet
Thank you @hoarder66, Always nice to hear that someone is enjoying the channel and content. Really appreciate the words 🙏
Ye nice and chill, and a return to simplicity.
Thanks @ 🙏
I think this format works better for very large scale builds like this, which most mocs are not. This is a long process build that has lots of opportunities while waiting for new parts in the mail, or while you gotta pause to rethink structural stuff, etc, to make a video commentary. A smaller 500 piece moc doesn't have as many chances to make entire wip videos
@@j0hn00 So true. It is nice being able to take my time on the build and have a good think about where I am going with each technical side of the build.
This structure is technically and artistically amazing!
Thank you @droidbait_resurrected7585 , Much appreciated.
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyeysyes. I have been waiting for someone to do something like this for WAY to long
Good to hear @Cyberbuildstudios, It is already an amazingly fun build. Hope you enjoy the series and it lives up to your expectations.
@ thanks! How long do you think the project may take? ( give your best guess)
@@Cyberbuildstudios will all depend on money. This build is a passion project that I am doing in the evenings when I have spare time. I reckon if it all went smoothly about 15 to 18 months. I am not setting any time deadlines on the build as I want it to be the best I can do. The more time I spend on the build, the more I want to build it.
@ that’s great! I completely get it. Take your take to make sure it is structurally stable and faithful to what we know about the cr-90 corvette.
Love that you’ve taken on such a crazy challenge. The interior looks amazing so far!
Thanks @robonut0357, I am hoping that it is one of those builds that people wish to spend hours staring at. I want to get as much detail into the build both internally and externally.
can't wait for the full build minifigure TANTIVE 4!!!
It is going to be a fun journey and a challenging one getting to the full build @matmat6031.
I know I can’t wait. What’s funny I found this guy today with this moc just after I started designing my minifig scale Gozanti cruiser. What great timing.
Welcome to the channel @AustinTexas05 . A Gozanti Cruiser is going to be epic minifigure scale. Will you be having it at with Tie fighters off the bottom or walkers? Will you be posting any pics on social media? Would love to follow your build progress.
@ I don’t have social media except the closes thing I have is discord, and I may have ties at the bottom or I’ll have it landed on a landing platform.
When i got back into Lego a couple of years ago the 2 things i always wanted to do was a massive Jabba's palace MOC, and a massive Tantive MOC.... Looks like it's going to save me a lot of time and money to live vicariously through you. Loved your Jabba MOC and look forward to every 1st of the month for an update in this series. I was thinking, not official Lego but a nicely placed mirror at a 45 degree angle would give the perfect view down the corridor to Leia and R2 just like in the film.
You should still do it @oddjob62. Jabba's Palace was an amazing project as is this Tantive. Totally different challenges but amazing fun.
There are official lego mirrors
Impressive with the progress so far! Keep it up!
Thank you @zachfrickel, It is going to be a fun journey. Looking forward to starting the Engine section to give me a true feeling of the size of the ship.
Nice project. Keep it going
Thanks @Paul-yw4gk , Will do.... It is a great fun project.
This is looking so great already, can't wait for the onyx cinder too, you are defenitely my fav building channel as of now🙌
Thank you @Wantamantra, Really appreciate that 🙏. Not long to wait for the Onyx 😉
Such a cool structure work with the docking rings, keep going!
Thank you @ex_66_Order, Really pleased with how they are coming along so far.
Wow! That is a big build. Excited to see how it progresses and thanks for making these videos! I have a Tantive IV hallway scene using five of the Lego sets on my white fireplace mantle below my TV but it is nothing compared to what you are doing.
Thanks @robertturner1308, It is such an iconic scene. I am so glad they brought that set out.
this is legendary!
Thank you@@ColossusCounsel 🙏 , It is such fun to build
@dubbzibricks I hope this channel gets over 1 million subscribers! You are the best!
@ColossusCounsel thank you so much 🙏 me too
11ft haha Man this is EPIC!! Love this so much.
Thanks @cksbricks7791, Good to hear.
#DubbziBricks. Wow this build is going to be huge and so incredibly detailed. I am not surprised that you are taking on a design challenge that even lego designers would never do. I love making UCS builds of things but your UCS build of this will be humongous and something that most lego builders could only imagine to build. I don't have those skills. But between this and Gotham and then the Onyx coming you make these feights of engineering and moc building so effortless. :0)
Thank you so much for the kind words @joshuakranz7384 . I am trying to step as far out of my comfort zone as possible with each MOC build series that I do. This one is certainly going to be testing the technical skills with the size, strength and shapes. Looking forward to the challenge.
Subscribed! Always wanted to see a build like this, thank you!
Thank you for the sub @mdsuen 🙏 . Much appreciated. It is such an awesome ship to make. Hope you enjoy the series
11 ft is crazy
Yep @Slamdoxicalz 😂
Amazing moc. Cant wait to see the end. Cherry on the cake, if I can make a suggestion, should be some custom faces for the rebel trooper
Thank you @oddjob62 🙏, I am hoping that over the next year or so that Lego will start to produce more minifigures with the helmet strap on them. I tend to be a purist and only use official lego pieces. I would however much prefer to have different faces on the troops.
@@dubbzibricksyou could also add variety with one of the fleet trooper helmets if you wanted! In a New Hope and Rogue One you can see a couple fleet troopers with fully white helmets without that black trim. Couple be a good way to add variety and reference those guys!
Thank you for the idea@@JoliverGreed 🙏👍
Jeez it's some size already Dubbzi. I'm so glad I'm restricted by the Besta unit. Really love the progress especially that corridor which looks epic. Loving every minute!
Thanks Mike, It is some weight as well 😂
Wow that is cool
Thanks @@cbspock1701 🙏 , It is so much fun building this classic vehicle.
Ok. Next make a minifig scale Star Destroyer to accomodate the Tantive IV.
If I ever find a billionaire that wants to sponsor me and give me a warehouse to build it in, I would love to take that challenge on @ose_0065 😂
Ok next build a minifigure Scale Tatooine that was behind the Star Destroyer and Tantive IV
@@Bullymaguire7777 I would like to revisit building Tatoonine. I wish I had the room to build more of my Jabba's Palace surround when I did it.
@@dubbzibricks yeah but The Whole Tatooine Planet minifigure Scale please!
@@dubbzibricks yeah but the Whole Tatooine Planet Minifig Scale please !
Cool!
Thank you @EzBricks_ 🙏
Bros bank account gonna be non-existent after this but this is just so amazing and i cannot wait to see the finished product
Thank you @Catbosske , It certainly is taking a pounding 😬😂
Stand wise it’s a question of how much structure do you want to put inside the model. You could make the model self supporting but I think this would need more reinforcement than if you built the stands into the model. As per the UCS type MOC I have you’ll need a stand under the engines as they’ll be a mass you won’t be able to counter balance
I am def going to be building it into the actual ship @cr4sh1. It is going to make it easier to work on, display and move. Also due to the shape of the ship I think, like you said, it would need some serious reinforcement to its 'skeleton' to stop it breaking on the stand. The Engines weight etc, it will be a case of experimenting as I go along. A fun challenge is ahead.
@@dubbzibricksare you going to make it modular along its length? I think you’ll need to as much for transportation. Based on that I could see you end up with 3 or 4 sections to the model.
@cr4sh1 it I'd definitely going to be modular. I am thinking four sections at the moment. The more sections the easier it will be to move
So impressive! The techniques are crazy! How will you make the interior viewable if it’s covered by the exterior
Thanks @@Jodelllt 🙏 . It will have removable panels.
Surely as the corridor is a simple build anyway and you would have to put extra bricks in to weight the other, wouldn't it just be easier to just mirror each side, will save the faffing of the awkward bend in the corridor as well. Also the quick extra interior for extra figures in more poses related to the film.
There are several reasons for not adding a corridor the other side. The awkward bend it there in the film so would need to be there. Unless I made this Minifigure scale, which I can't do, I am having to use some artistic licence with the layout to get the main scenes in. I am only having removable panels on one side of the build, so the corridor on that side would never be seen. Also the amount it costs for the a load more corridor sets compared to filler brick and plate would make it a waste of money just for the purpose of balancing it. I would love to make this full minifigure scale and have it so that all of the panels could come off, however the cost of the project and the size would not make it possible.
Will you, after you finished this one, do a Consular?
And if so, a basic one or a modified & upgraded one?
YV-929 for the nose, YG-4210 & VCX-350 for the engines and the arquitens class 546 cruiser for the bridge section that might flow nicely into that YV-929 upgrade.
Anyway happy building and till next time.
Thank you @rbleisem, The Consular is a sweet looking ship. I do have another ship that I really want to do after the Tantive and Onyx Cinder, so will see how this these go and then decide whether I tackle anymore ships. I am loving the challenge of doing this sort of build.
@@dubbzibricks You might want to make a slight wide change, so that corridor can get a Y look going, with a side room on both sides.
Just show a emergency bulkhead, that is slammed down, if you have too.
Will you use the Lars Kitchen a couple of times, for the mesh hall kitchen?
The YZ-775 no luck required, has a nice quartet of A-wings docked to a rotating tube, it's outside, via four special docking cradles.
Look her up, if you ever go for a heavily modified Consular...
The YV 100, YV 260 & YV969, all have the same Consular nose, but the first two have the whole nose, not just the bow with bridge section.
Great for getting spareparts, I bet.
Did you get the dual molded legs off bricklink?
I was looking for a technic parts set and I saw the Mobile crane MK II 42009 For a really good price. I don't know if I can trust it though. I'd Like your thoughts. As always, your builds are excellent and love the content. I'm just worried it's too good to be true.
Thank you @christianbrass6959, I just looked up the parts for set 42009. It looks like it has a really good selection of pieces. Especially on the axles and smooth technic beams etc. The only thing that it is lacking, which are important for the builds I am doing is the studded technic beams so that you can build off of them. Apart from that, it looks good. If the price is right and the seller is reputable it looks to be a good set to purchase.
Bro is on to something
It sure is a fun project
only 1m into the video so my bad if its explained later but do you think it will really support itself without any metal structure inside?
No metal will be used@@robw6143I am only going to be using official lego pieces. Lego is strong enough to take the weight of itself. As long as I make the display stand sturdy enough all will be fine. It is going to be in several sections that clip together when on display. If I was suspending this from a ceiling in one piece then it would definitely need a different frame through the centre.
You are a fantastic fucking crazy builder
😂 Thank you @Davide_Sinigaglia, Much appreciated 🙏
If u want duel molded legs for Captain Antilies u can use the legs from series 24 kohola guy. They r accurate so thats what I used😂
Thanks @hoarder66 , I will keep an eye out for one. I have a feeling there were some duel molded legs on the BAM station at the LEGO store the other day, but not sure if it was light or dark tan. Will have to have another look.
Do you only buy from Lego themselves or also Bricklink?
The majority of the parts I get are directly from LEGO, whether that is from the LEGO Store Pick a Brick wall or online. I do also use Bricklink. @BrickeridooAT a fellow TH-camr has an amazing store and has provided a brilliant service, so I do like to buy from him when I can.
Man, you're using masonry brick as filler brick? That seems expensive lol.
@@colemantrebor6574 they are off of the Pick a Brick wall at the Lego store, so same price as a normal brick
@@dubbzibricks yeah then I understand, but it still hurts. I reckon you could get cheaper 1x2s from bulk buys second hand but thats a lot of efffort sorting and potentially washing.
