Wow. So so good.rear engine detail is really good!i love Star Wars,my first set was a SW set!i don't know how u have soooo much gray though..... Anyway it is stunningly beautiful!!!!!

Unbeleiveable!! What an incredible build!!

Impressive! Not only the crazy skill involved but that you had all those gray pieces...

Really nice. I love it!

Amazing work! I can see why it took 2 years!

An amazingly epic and splendid build indeed! Great job! :)

Great Job!

Thanks for your kind words. The dorsal side is covered with about 950 tiles. The ventral side (underside) is not covered with tiles.

I have spent alot of time above these pictures. Finally, I can say without hesitation that this is the best LEGO Lucrehulk class I have ever seen. You beat (epic) one from Thomas Benedikt with detail accuracy. DO you think you could guess how many pieces from total 30k are tiles to cover the hull? I'm very tempted to build my own version in this scale because it's matching perfectly with my MIDI-Scale Venator and Invisible hand. Anyway, really amazing job. This is perhaps the most challenging Star Wars ship to build any you did excellent!

Back in the days I never made any digital instruction for my creations. So there is no instruction for this one. And even if I had made one it would be just to big for lets say a LDD program, to generate a useable building instruction for a 30000piece project. I'll post some digital projects in the near future . Just finding time is the problem. Anyhow, thanks for the comment

Is there any way of buying its instruction. How about selling its instruction on website like as Rebrickable. I really want to have your creation. It's certainly the most lovable.

thee most amazing MOC I have seen in months! WOWZAMBONI WOW

Congrats on a WELL deserved MOTD. This is simply brilliant! The details are great! Eye-goggling and mind boggling. @_@

Thanks for the support. As you know I'm a fan of what you do.

(0)_(0) That is amazing!!

Congrats on MOTD! Great to see this again!

What a perfect MOC for the day the images come back up! It's absolutely amazing! The fact that you bothered to cover it with tiles when it's that large shows a huge attention to detail. My favorite bits are the engines and the inner globe.

Masterful! Gratz on this undeniably-well-earned MOTD! Cheers!~

WOW!!! an absolutely awsome creation!

I'm speechless That is to amazing. That is awesome its just so awesome!!!!!

amazing! i really like the engines. my only complaint though, is that the top of the main body and the antennas look a little cluttered. anyway, it still is a 5/5

Amazing piece of work. Love all the details, you´ve had. both thumps up!!!

Wow! It's a masterpiece :)

nice, I love droids too!

this is just EPIC! i love all your creations

oh wait nvm i think its am iniscale BUT THATS TEH EPIC also what was the point of makeing it? if its miniscale

DUUUUUDe THAT MUST OF TOOK YOU LIKE A MONTH just one question is it a miniscale model or full scale? just curious like by full scale i mean for minifigs to use please no insults its hard to tell BUT DUDE THATS FREAKIN AWSOME

Somehow I forgot to rate this.....well it's a mastepiece!

Just came out of space... So it is nice to be called MOTD and I'd like to thank all of the people who have commented my creations and of course many thanks for putting me on blogs, reviews and all kind of sites.It's nice to be part of the worldwide legocommunity. Thanks.

Just amazing, congrats on MOTD (Well deserved)

Congrats on MOTD!

Congrats on MOTD!

Wow! This is incredible! What's the diameter?

Good thing I clicked on this because all you see in the thumbnail is white with the little red x in the corner. Anywho, on to the build... This is the best one I have seen so far! Well deserving of MOTD also. I love all of the texture and detail added to this model. It really shows when you take the time to add the little things to your builds. This is a beaut!

I love it! congrats on MOTD!

Wow! Amazing! Congrats on MOTD!

a realy worthy MotD. Awesome!

Wow fantastic work. Congrats

many thanks for your patience and dedication, and the result is outstanding. I take my hat off to you sir.

Congrats on the MOTD!

wow! can't beleive I never saw this before! Incredible build and details!

Um, dang! That's good.

Whoa.. 30,000 pieces that make my tank look small... =)

Just Splendid! Very good job! Can you come see my u-boat?

This is beatiful big space ship from star wars. You are perfect leo builder.

Very VERY impressive work.. looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Wow dude you really used time on your creation.

By chance do you OWN a Lego store? Or perhaps work at a Lego factory?? : )The overall shape is right on, very impressive.

Oh my God! I'd love to play with it! CONGRATULATIONS, your can challenge against Master Kelso!

A true work of art. Splendid.

This ship might have been difficult to design! I like the round shape and the globe! You've made another impressive build! Stunning MOC, congrats!

Paul- can ESPN air this photo? We would like to tak about it on our morning show, First Take. Please email me at nicole.a.coffey@espn.com Thank you

when i first saw it i had trouble believing it was actually made of legos!!! so accurate!!

Speechless.....

Excellent job!

AWESOME!!

It's so greebling awesome! I love how you used more than one grey. And the engine section takes my breath away.

UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!!!

Wow that looks so accurate to the real ones in the first 2 prequels. You should take a bunch of mini mtts and fit them inside.

WOW! now that is cool! im a fan

Are there any internals?

So Epic...

WOW !! two years of fun !!! what a beautiful construction !!! I'd like to see the greebles parts inside the circle because it's looking terrific also !!! You did a very cool ship !!!!

Glad to hear it will be preserved! I have no plans to recycle my Battlestar, in fact, I may continue to add to it. I think when you put that much time and effort into a project, you want to hang onto it. Again, well done!

I haven't taken it apart and I never will. I've build this one in 4 large parts, that you can even carry around. Recently I've rebuilded the center back (with engines) and I've integrated a carrying device. You can lift one of the towers, put your fingers under "the bridge" and lift it and carry it. I'm quiet satisfied of the result. The ship looks like before but inside it's completely different. I'll try and find some time to make a kind of construction journal somewhere september...and make some pictures of it.

The larger the circle the easy it is to make it "seem" round. The inside is a structure in lego technic.

I still have it on display, and I won't take it apart. I have got more pieces than time... so I'll be building this winter

hey, this is an incredible construction. I'm trying to build a millenium falcon and I'd love to know how you achieved the circular frame and tubular shell

Beautiful.Dude, the only thing about these big MOCs is that you just cant take em apart. Be4 I had this account, i built a 3 ft. model of the Republic Cruiser. I then needed the peices for another project, and it was so hard to destroy. Is this still together, or have you taken it apart?

Just came back to check this out again. Yep, it's still cool! Do you have it out on display? Recycle? That's what's tough about these massive ships we feel compelled to create. It's done! Now what do I do with it? Again, great work!

Holy..... I'm, I'm at a loss for words. I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life. (Amazed silence)

Perfect, just perfect. You got every detail perfectly in place, you didn't miss a thing. Since I don't know too much about this ship in the movie, this next sentence will sound like untamed rubbish: I really like the engine-things on the inside-ends of those two curved things...Have fun deciphering that...But I really didn't know how to say it...Anyone who gives this less than a 5 is a fool...

WOW!This must have took you years to built.It's impressive!!Great work

What a ship! Like the colorwork very much.

Awesome!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

SWEET!!!HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU!!!

wooooowww!That must have tooken forever!

Hi Paul, I work for Ripley Publishing www.ripleybooks.com and we think that this could make a great feature in one of our books. If you are interested please get back to us at info@ripleypublishing.co.uk

This is an ILM level build! Incredible.

Getting comments from you is magnificent. I got a great deal of inspiration from your ship and with your pictures I had the basic structure. Inside there's nothing to compare, as it is completely build in technic parts. I admire your builds and really hope that you continue making those superb ships. Thanks for the comment

I can't believe I didn't see this sooner! I always wanted to do a snot version of this but could never get around to it. I see you also used the 20 plate shell structure and bram's sphere (copy cat!) Anyway this is EPIC, congrats!

Simply fantastic!

OMG! That thing is ENORMOUS! Very nice detailed to...

HOLY MACKEREL MY GOSH DUDE I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE ONE OF THESE I JUST DON'T HAVE THE PIECES!!!!

Wow, the amount of detail that you put into this is incredible and 30.000 pieces omg it must have been expensive.

Wow! This is definitely a great MOC and it would be nice if you also place it in the group "Beyond 15,000 bricks" (http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/11151).

Hey this is amazing! 5/5 and your a favorite builder and will you be my friend?

Hi Tom, I'm afraid that you'll be closer to death than life, but... here it comes. The only software I used is to make the center sphere. It's the sphere generator from Bram Lambrecht and the sphere build from symmetric plates by Bruce Lowell. You can find those building instructions on bricklink (sphere with plates and then do some research). You have spheres with studs on top and spheres in advanced building tech. that have the studs in all directions. That's the one I used. The left and right wings of the ship and the center part were made with a whole technic construction, that I created myself, by just building and rebuilding it... So there's no easy and fast way to build this. Hope that this info will get you started.

Paul please let me know what kind of software did You use for this project. This is life and death matter.

This is why I can find any light gray in the world. Between you and that guy building the HMS Hood... Seriously, outstanding work.

Ha-min-a!!! Oh my god that is epic!!!!!

That is absolutely epic!!!!!

OMG! its huge men! 10/5 your one of the best builters on the site... no... the whole world wide web!!!!!

It took about 2 years building( and rebuilding )it, until I was satisfied. I have been saving this gray parts since an eternity, so I've got more than enough to build other ships in these colours. Thanks for the comment. Paul

wow never thoguht id see something that could outshine benedict!

:O oh dear, I think I'm gonna pass out =D, this is just amazing, you used only 30000 parts ?? cause to me it looks about 50000 xD

Kriffing awesome!!! Your definitely a fav builder! The engines are a work of art, as is the ball thingy in the middle.

HUUUUUGE and great- good work- it seems i found a new fav builder XD

I fear asking two things: how long it took you to build that, and how long it took you to collect that many bricks!!!

Holy cow, success. Awesome, man, you rival the work of Mr. Benedikt nicely.

Awsome, but wheres little Ani in his ship? 5/5

AMAZING!

.....COOL!

Did you make this? If you did not,Its actually good,Either you made it or not.

Amazing job! You nailed the shape and the ball in the middle.... excellent! 6 stars for you! =D

O....M.....F.....G!!!!!1

It looks incredibly like the thing in the movie. Spot-on details, even ones that you didn't need! Amazing, every part of it, this is one of my favorite Star Wars builds of the year (year meaning starting 2009 :P.) Magnificent work!

This is the most impressive Star Wars MOC I've seen - and there's a lot of those. Seriously, there ought to be awards for this sort of thing. So, now are you going to re-enact the scene where it gets blown to pieces? - Just kidding....

Amazing!!! 1000/5 O_O

Greeeeebles..... wow

...absolutely amazing. Over 30k bricks...thats crazy. Very good work. Where you will put your huge "brick-monster"???

Amazing - serious dedication - respect :-)

Two years! Wow!

WOW OMG man!!! This is the best lukrehulk i`ve ever seen. This looks like a special collectors edition of €550,- no really this looks like it should be a set. i can't believe you arent a professional builder (well for me you are:) anyway, very very extremely well build.

Phenomenal work. Keep it up.

Wow. Impressive work indeed!I've been thinking about doing one of these about a year ago, and these are actually one of the good Droid Control Ships on the site! Theirs about 3 of these on the site that are really worth looking at, and Congrats, your 1 of these amazing creations. Keep up the great work! (EDIT: One thing you forgot, how big is it? it looks huge, but if you wouldnt mind, but to reply or edit the page and post the size? thanks.) -<Pedro>-

Look everybody! The lord Jesus has returned and he builds lego! (J.K. :D, but it is still freaking amazing!

That is absolutely mind-boggling. Awesome, not much more I can say. This is one of the... scatch that, it's THE best SHIP I've ever seen. Absolutely fantastic.

Wowzeez! Hey, this was mentioned in BrickLife: The MOCpages Magazine.

This is so awesome!!!i love it. the details, the size,it is so cool!!!!!

Funnily enough, I was the one who emailed the Brothers Brick about it. You're welcome! http://www.brothers-brick.com/2010/02/26/30000-piece-star-wars-droid-control-ship/

Stupendous! Congrats on getting blogged by the Brothers-Brick!

It's true, as my wife always says, size does not matter....lucky SHE, but in this case it does matter It's 55.11 inch long (140cm) and 39.37 inch (100cm) wide. Thanks

Goodness thats Huge! and Perfect!

A truly MEMORABLE creation! Thousands upon thousands of MOCs pass by these pages every year, and only a handfull are on this level. Absolutely fantastic work, and in my opinion a worthy candidate for the MOCie awards "MOC of the year." Just outstanding!!!!

... !

Very good! Also very impressive to (2 Years!)!

This is just epic! Truly spectacular. A masterpiece. 11/10! Great job!

Is it really that awesome..? AWESOME!!!!! I LOVE ALL DETAILS OF IT!! Too awesome, man.

Nicely done!

WOW! I'm speechless.....[regains voice] That's a lot pieces! Too many things to comment on. Awesome details! This should be MOTD. 100/10!

Fantastic work, the detail and sheer size of this is amazing! 5/5

I'd love to see this and Kelso's Invisible hand taking on one of the good Venators on this site (Maybe Thomas B's)... now THAT would be cool! Amazing work! ~ Chris.

I especially like the different shades of grey used, but everything else is still perfect.

Still got plenty left. Thanks for the pos. comment. Keep on building.

oh man. all i can say is "MOTD forthcoming."

Hi Paul! Looks like you made great use of the gray parts :) That's a phantastic ship! Cheers, /T

Great detail all over! I especially like the engine section! Crazy-mad skillz!

godlike.

Sheer breath-taking. A work of pure inspiration for all sci-fi builders.

Impressive! All thumbs up and all smiling heads for you!

WOW!!! This is a sweet MOC. I love how you did the engines.

amazing love all the details you added!

WOW

UN-BE-LIEVE-A-BLE! Wow! One of the coolest, most detailed ships I've EVER seen!

Wow, great work, this is amazing! The outside covering, the way you've layered the tiles on top is awesome, I'm surprised you don't have more comments and smileys! 100/10!

Thats amazing! Excuse me but l have to see a doctor about reattaching my jaw now.

O_O Holy moly!!! This is perfect! I cant believe you used over 30,000 pieces on this. 100000/5

Woah this is really detailed 0_o im surprised at the lack of comments

Beautiful just Beautiful. It has so many details~NN

Beautiful just Beautiful. It has so many details~NN

Incredible. Not just enormous, but so detailed as well... I like that you used a combination of colours, and the sphere is simply cool. :) Hope to see more of your creations soon...

OUTSTADING!!!!!

This is just incredible! Good enough to get blogged I think!

Wow that is nicely built. Love all the minor details you managed to get in there

Not bad for a starter... Just kidding, it's magnificent!!
