Props to the designer for actually wanting to build that beast. The biggest issue I would have with it is the resulting piece shortage for all other Lego builders
@@TheRecollector7594 Lego (and all other plastic toy companies) use injection molding, they take some plastic and put it under intense pressure, the plastic gets forced into the mold and takes its shape... I'm not sure if the plastic is in liquid form or if the pressure is so high it can be done with solid plastic 🤔
brickvault : will have to buy a warehouse will have do nothing but build will need millions of parts will have to spend a hundreds, thousands dollars build for some years me : its all worth it
they could easily make all that back via tours, art exhibits, sponsors, college/engineering features ect. maybe even a partnership with lego for the metric fuckton of light gray pieces
@@joshbrock2663 i hope that Lego buys the finished product to display in one of their legolands if the guys are willing to sell it, but i think it would need some maintenance due to its weight, I assume that even the technic structure would bend over time because of it.
I wonder the cost for a brick printer thingy and the cost for all the high grade plastic and molds for the pieces wold cost less than to just buy the separate pieces.
Seeing this in person with sections removed to show interior detail would be absolutely incredible. I feel like if you're making it, you WANT to complete the build and have the outer panels and upper levels all in place when you finally declare it finished, but then you remove large sections for public display so you can see the exterior on one side and the interior on the other
If they ever do this - they should consider being able to open the model directly through the center line - then they could show off the interior as well. But this would require a metal frame structure for sure. Epic idea and project.
When I first clicked this I was excited. Then I look at the date and just chuckled a bit. Then saying this is a real thing just put me in a bit of shock. I wish the best to the 55 Meter Club
I feel like this is a project for legoland or a partnership with Disney. This would be a good piece for a museum where people can see it in the round or build go pros into the interior so you can see in side without needing a dedicated opening or cut away
Oh hello there! thanks for the shoutout, BrickVault, loved the video!!! Also yeah....the scale is a bit too HUGE but...the Force works in mysterious ways :)
This is a hilarious video but no joke, there’s actually a guy on Instagram digitally building this. 8th fleet project or something. It’s literally insane Edit: just realized they talk about him in the video lmao
After they finish with that project, they'll build a Death Star Minifig scale. Then all the other capital ships in Star Wars, then Death Star 2, then the Star Forge, then Star Killer Base, then the entire Star Wars Galaxy
Wow, that's a hefty build to tackle, even in a digital format. For a sense of scale, the original Gundam is 18 meters tall. This Star Destroyer would be slightly longer than 3 gundams.
If I was Bill Gates, I'd already have the entire 8th fleet built in full scale. This is like The Pyramids of Lego Star Wars to me. if they pull it off it'll go down in history.
Yeah you really wouldn't because of how many pieces they would have to use which would mean that if they sold this it'd be the most expensive Lego set ever made not counting how much it would be on the aftermarket
@@Halo_Legend Tantine IV would be 3 meters long when build in the same scale as the UCS Millennium Falcon and the most recent X-wing. That should be possible for some people.
Technically you can, the problem is finding space where you can build the thing, finding a way to transport the it, and getting your hands on all the needed parts to make this monstrosity
@@eighthfleetproject3446 OK, maybe you could show renders, explain a bit about where they are in the ship or vehicle and their purpose in universe. Also, will you be doing legends ships?
What an absolutely insanely ambitious and challenging idea... I think they should start with something smaller like a mini-fig scale Tantive IV (Blockade Runner) first, which would actually be really cool now that I think of it since that ship has such a cool exterior and interior... has anyone actually ever built one?
I kinda want this to be a thing in Legoland in the Star Wars attractions. A full minifig scale star destroyer on display. Maybe with like little cameras inside to show the interior.
Its not just about the logistics and economic limitations, if there even exists enough lego pieces. Its a moral question: Can you defend taking up a noticeable chunk of the world's total lego-pool for one single project?
If they scaled it down to the ""trophy"" figure size it would still roughly be about 12 metres. Bloody huge but still far more doable and realistic tbh. Hope they can do it none the less though.
Oof but still excited this gonna take a long time also imagine they also built the death star or just got the set of it and had the destroyer coming outbof it
I was like yeaaaahaahhaha omg thats so awesome and then I realized its april 1st. Btw making a real minifig scale star destroyer us ultra hard cuz u even need to find space for like 100 tie fighters
I'm guessing those digitals are done on Studio? I can't even begin to imagine the lag on that computer. Whenever I try building something big on there it starts lagging at around 8,000 pieces. Anyone have a suggestion for a workaround for the lag / know how this guy might've dealt with it?
Purposely avoided watching this knowing it would be an April fools joke but I watched it just to see what you had in store. Funny how that worked out. In retrospect, maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to make this a joke.
Let's be serious, this would be a multi-million dollar project that even the best master builders of the Lego Group would balk at. No way an independent fan would ever be able to pull it off, even with a group of collaborators. I would suggest something like the Tantive IV, which would be about 5m (16ft) long. Still a huge challenge, but not unfeasible.
I know its been a year since this was uploaded but even if someone just built the bridge for a lego ideas would be pretty cool. I mean technically for play thats all you ever see in the movie half the time.
The "normal" UCS Star Destroyer has a tendency to fall apart by it's own weight. There is no way this behemoth could be build completely out of Lego. You would need a steel frame with just a skin-layer of Lego on it.
If you're going with a minifig scale of 1:42, you might consider trying something like an Arquitens. I feel like that might be doable (25 feet long instead of 180 ft/55 meters). Other options would be a Nebulon-B. A Gozanti would be around 4.9 feet/1.5 meters (and you could get the some minifig scale TIE Fighters in on that action). I think someone's working on that. A GR-75 would also be cool, though probably kind of finicky due to the design.
I honestly hope he goes far with the project. The whole project of making the real life lego X-wing into human scale was something cool, but a Star Destroyer at minifig scale with the bays fully modeled with a fully modeled bridge; that sounds like a museum piece. More than likely it'll only have most of the bridge, the 2 bays, and be mostly hollow with an exoskeleton and endoskeleton to hold up most of the weight the pieces used for outside detail. The largest weight would definitely be due to the bridge and the shield generators.

Another way to picture the scale of a Star Destroyer is the scene in Empire Strikes Back when the Millennium Falcon hides on the back of one.
