I built this in Lego Digital Design Studio and then exported it to 3DS MAX using LeoCAD. A couple of pieces didn't make it through, but no big deal I can probably freehand those. I had this Lego kit when I was a kid - some days I miss playing with Lego.
Absolutely, Lego was the best toy ever when I was a kid and I'm thinking about buying some again now.
Thanks EG180! I found the decals for this thing online yesterday afternoon so next week I will render a finished version.
Cool Stormcloud!
I watched a time lapse video of a guy building a Lego Star Destroyer the other day.
That was pretty cool.
I finished the ship today.
Added the decals, remodeled the antenna to the correct one and added the directional thrusters that didn't come through the export.
Haha. I loved how they did that in the Lego Movie.
Nice work, Sean - adding those logos really brings back the nostalgia for me. I've still got my classic space lego - combined with everything else - in a box in the cupboard waiting for my kids to be old enough to play with it. :cool:
Thanks guys!
I fell asleep watching the Lego movie on Netflix so I guess I'm going to have to watch it again.
This was fun, but now I have to get back to work on stuff for my book.
Next time I take a break I think I will build the LL 928 space cruiser - found a great site with tons of Lego instruction booklets.
I also think I'm going to start buying some of these classic space Lego sets off of EBAY.

Legos are indeed fun. Both in real life and digitally. For a time, I was quite addicted to LeoCAD.
