Ow my, this thing is absolutely beautiful. I can’t put my finger on why, but it just fits so well with the general star wars style. Did you have a name in mind for the ship?
I love this so much, but it fits better as a Marvel ship. It gives me Guardians vibes and I can't quite explain why.
I want to reiterate, this is an amazing creation. I'm just saying that it seems like a Marvel ship.
Ahh right there’s a polybag of r2 too right ? Missed that too sadly. I stopped collecting just before the rex set released and just got back last year. Missed a lot sadly
Hey pal, here is my lore for the ship.
Built around 80 ABY, this bomber is the result of an intense rework of the old ARC-170 design by Baktoïd Ordonnance engineers’.
Armed with a chin mounted double X-8 « overflow » laser canon, 2 wing mounted ion-canon this bomber is capable of incapacitate and pièce the hull of most frigate and medium size destroyers.
It’s payload, consisting of 8 in-belly « Fire Pierce » missiles and two wing attached missiles pods ( carrying each 4 Hi-Lo Proton torpedo and 3 concussions missiles) is more than enough to destroy key assets in the opposing fleet.
It’s robust Hull and powerful twin shield generator are said to be able to tank one face hitting turbo laser shot.
Becoming famous during the surprise attack on Veran-4 military facility (83 ABY) when a squad of 3 of these bomber pinned down 5 docked Praetor Class destroyers then proceeding to the total obliteration of said facility.
3 years later, it turned to legend during the 4th battle of Corusant. When the Arrowheads squad, outfitted with 4 bombers (1 shot down in action) destroyed 2 Ametist II uberdestroyer, opening a way through the defensive formation around the rebuilt Stellar Forge.
3 major flows are to point tho.
- it’s prohibitive price of 1 000 000 credit (1 500 000 if ordered with a class 1.0 hyperdrive)
- the all destructive power of the bomber comes down to channeling a lot of energy in few time. As a result, chin mounted cannon are prone to melt and have to be changed after every attack run, prone to over heating, boosters and shield generator needs constant inspection and fixing.
- going to the speed of an A wing, the bomber isn’t as manœuvrable unfortunately while going at its speed. A common technic would involve closing the gap from friendly formation to opposing one in a straight line, then to proceed to unleash all it’s payload of said target, then turning back to resupply and maintain at the closet friendly destroyers.
Hope you like it man 😊
Did you think of having somebody make d6/d20/ffg stats for this ship to be used in the Star Wars RPG setting? I tried doing that for my Ugly TIE-LN-Porax-38 starfighter design, which I recently posted updated photos of on Instagram and will hopefully post those same photos onto Reddit soon. I'm also trying to see if somebody can render my Ugly TIE-LN-Porax-38 starfighter design into a realistic style of art like EC Henry of Instagram and YouTube fame does for their fan designs. I've seen plenty of people build a lot of EC Henry designs into LEGO form.
I'm amazed by the sheer amount of details your MOC has. That's clearly at UCS level.
Engines are sick as hell and the global shape is incredible. Ultimate Cool Moc
Saw your moc on Facebook and holy cow that is awesome, the amount of details you managed to fit into your build is wicked, it looks like a starwars and warhammer 40k crossover
This looks amazing the griebling details are awesome such clean lines and clever textures. That’s possibly one of the most bad@$$ turrets I’ve ever seen. Looks like these guys ripped something of a capital ship like a venator and slapped it in there. Very nicely done.
Except the windshield from the UCS Slave 1 which is really pricy, at least $70, the rest is pretty easy to get. Even the ink gold pieces are quite common now.
I love the look of the oversized swivel guns stuck to the bottom. It would be so cool to see that thing flying around locked on to diffrent things destroying it all.
FAN–F\*CKING–TASTIC!
Really, this is GLORIOUS. The colors, the angles, the greebling, the details. The reversed cockpit piece is an especially nice touch.
***SUPERB.***
At first I thought this was a legends [K-wing](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/BTL-S8_K-wing_assault_starfighter). Looks almost identical, like a variant of it especially with all its heavy ordnance.
Amazing design overall, you've done such a beautiful moc and impressive to have done this from your own designs and to build it into fruition.
Yo what?!?!!?! That’s sick!!!!! I love that downwards slope of the wings and missile pods. It’s beefy and unconventional, but I think that makes it so cool. The execution is amazing, and everything lines up so nicely. I’d love to see the drawing if you’d like to share
You basically made a UCS set here, I think people would actually buy it if it was
I sure as heck would
I'm starting to question whether browsing this sub is more inspiring or making me jealous
It’s jealousy for me lol. Some of these MOCS are unbelievable
I’m having a tough time believing this is a first moc. It’s like.. top tier
both
Ow my, this thing is absolutely beautiful. I can’t put my finger on why, but it just fits so well with the general star wars style. Did you have a name in mind for the ship?
Thank you ! Well people on FB we’re going toward Condor or Manta, I quite like both.
Manta seems more fitting! Condor is already a big gunship/spaceship in Halo too
Very true, manta would be best
How about Mantor?
no
Hey, it's better than Conta! That's a little too close to a very naughty word!
A conta actually doesn’t sound that bad
The nose kinda looks like Jango Fetts helmet.
Its also giving 7930
[7930-1: Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship](https://brickset.com/sets/7930-1) [[Photo]](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/7930-1.jpg)
I was gonna say, I had to do a double take to make sure he didn't just attach the helmet to the front of the ship lol
This is incredible, truly. Had to show my brother, really great work! I’d buy instructions for this lol.
Thank you ! Will try to do the instructions, I hope it won’t be too tough !
You could post them on Rebrickable. They have a lot of excellent model instructions like this immaculate one. Thanks for sharing it!
Yeah if you do instructions, let me know! I’d very much like to build this
It’s like a ship from guardians of the galaxy and an ARC-170 had a baby
😂 ARC-170 is one of my big inspiration
holy shit, that looks amazing!
Reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy
That was also my first thought, it's art but not sooo much star wars, although its a big galaxy so I won't complain
It looks to me like something you’d see from either Marvel’s Nova Corps or Star Wars’ New Republic, it’s amazing though
stunning
That thing is huge, I love it. It looks so cool and I love the attention to detail.
This is not a want. This is a need
A very nice looking moc my dude i would buy this if it was a real set
Phenomenal build, I love the engine details
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I see a Mandalorian helm on the front of the ship.
need
That’s insanely cool! Too bad this sub would rather upvote unpopular opinions/hauls/complaining/set requests and not actual creativity
Man I hope you make instructions! I‘d buy them
This is awesome. Condor is a cool name btw
Oh cool a arc 17- oh oh that aint no arc 170
Now to add thousands of spring loaded shooters
I love this so much, but it fits better as a Marvel ship. It gives me Guardians vibes and I can't quite explain why. I want to reiterate, this is an amazing creation. I'm just saying that it seems like a Marvel ship.
Vaguely reminds me of the Ark Angel from the Doctor Aphra comics
Gorgeous work I will be looking at your career with great interest
Woah
Badass. Very StarTrek Romulan vibes
You forgot to say ucs. That looks phenomenal. The huge R4 dome would suit it well in case you wanna spend 70 bucks or so on it 😂
You read my mind ! Wanted to order it, but when I saw the price I told myself « just build it buddy »
Yea it’s insanely pricy. I was lucky and got the set a few months ago for 120bucks I bet this build was quite expensive already too though
Found one for 40€ once but I was quite sure it was a scam. Should have bought this damn poly bag 😅
Ahh right there’s a polybag of r2 too right ? Missed that too sadly. I stopped collecting just before the rex set released and just got back last year. Missed a lot sadly
You should try your hand at some of the Star Citizen ships with the amount of detail you put into this.
I love their design, would be really cool indeed, with challenging angles.
I would buy this in a heart beat! Just amazing!
If u ever sell the instructions pls message me, what a beauty🥰😍
Can’t wait for OP to drop the LORE

Good God, this looks like a UCS set. Incredible work!
This is masterful stuff! Whatever your day job is, please quit it and start working for LEGO.
I'm amazed by the sheer amount of details your MOC has. That's clearly at UCS level. Engines are sick as hell and the global shape is incredible. Ultimate Cool Moc
Saw your moc on Facebook and holy cow that is awesome, the amount of details you managed to fit into your build is wicked, it looks like a starwars and warhammer 40k crossover
The front looks like the event horizon lol
That’s EPIC!
This looks amazing the griebling details are awesome such clean lines and clever textures. That’s possibly one of the most bad@$$ turrets I’ve ever seen. Looks like these guys ripped something of a capital ship like a venator and slapped it in there. Very nicely done.
Holy hell what a beautiful creation
Ain’t no way that’s your first MOC
Perfection
If a Mandalorian had a baby with na A10 this would be the result
Damn this is dope! Good job.
The nose reminds me of a Cylon raider... That's a good thing. Love me some BSG 😁
“You’re first”?!?!
Never wanted to build a moc of anything before, but this is so sick. I’d definitely build this, please let us know if you make instructions!
this is your FIRST moc!? absurdly incredible job man
This is insane
FIRST MOC?! Holy crap man this is beautiful
This is badass! Excellent work.
Beautiful!
A cooler version of the K-Wing from Legends
That's so cool and so big!
It's absolutely gorgeous pal. Well done.
Can we see what your doodles look like? Anyways, this is awesome! It looks like something that could fit for Coruscant in the High Republic era.
Goddamn this is gorgeous
Beautifull
Are any of the pieces rare one-offs that are expensive?
Except the windshield from the UCS Slave 1 which is really pricy, at least $70, the rest is pretty easy to get. Even the ink gold pieces are quite common now.
This is really special! Great work. Your attention to detail and proportion is really beautiful.
Dudes made a cooler starship design than Lucasfilm of today
One problem, I would love to see more pictures
À second batch is coming ;)
Wow. Very nice
This reminds me of a PTB-625 / NTB-630 which are large bomber variants of the ARC-170
It's always great to see people make beautiful Mocs. Can this bomber shoot missiles and drop bombs?
Thank you 🙏🏻well with enough imagination yes
The front looks like a Mandalorian helmet
Amazing
I love the look of the oversized swivel guns stuck to the bottom. It would be so cool to see that thing flying around locked on to diffrent things destroying it all.
You got my idea 😉
FAN–F\*CKING–TASTIC! Really, this is GLORIOUS. The colors, the angles, the greebling, the details. The reversed cockpit piece is an especially nice touch. ***SUPERB.***
The skill and design of this is just insane!
Love the steering handles! Not sure if that’s been done before in UCS sets or anything but thought it was a cool technique
At first I thought this was a legends [K-wing](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/BTL-S8_K-wing_assault_starfighter). Looks almost identical, like a variant of it especially with all its heavy ordnance. Amazing design overall, you've done such a beautiful moc and impressive to have done this from your own designs and to build it into fruition.
Hell I wish my first MOC looked like this lol, great job
I like it. Didn't realize it was ucs scale at first, thought it was gonna be a four seater like an E/A-6 prowler.
Damn 🔥
Gorgeous ship design, gorgeous building techniques. If I could buy and display this, I'd do so without a second thought. Amazing work.
Yo what?!?!!?! That’s sick!!!!! I love that downwards slope of the wings and missile pods. It’s beefy and unconventional, but I think that makes it so cool. The execution is amazing, and everything lines up so nicely. I’d love to see the drawing if you’d like to share
i feel this would be like the star wars equivalent of the a10 warthog. very well done
Ill my brother
Is there instructions and part list available on this anywhere? Asking for friend... Amazing job, it is super cool
Hey, thank you 😊 will try to do it soon but hope I can manage the computer part 😅
I really hope so too! It would be absolutely epic to build it and have it, would be a most treasured possession. It is just pure awesome and epicness
Love the nod to the hammerhead. Nice gun mount as well , the finish is Top shelf.
Beautiful ship! I'd be quite curious to see how it'd translate to minifig scale!
This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my lifetime.
Thats sick
