This LEGO representation of the Star Wars Trade Federation MTT was designed and built by Caleb Ricks. Ricks and his models have been featured on Brick Vault, Beyond The Brick, The Brothers Brick, just to name a few. This amazing tribute to the MTT is not only beautiful aesthetically, but is also engineered to function similarly to what we see in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999).
Special thanks to Caleb Ricks for taking his time to show me how it works and allowing me to video this amazing model! We all look forward to seeing what you will reveal next, and congratulations for this achievement!
You can purchase the instructions from Brick Vault at: www.brickvault.toys/products/.... BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS ONLY. Brick Vault is not selling this as a kit. I recommend looking for parts at www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page. (These are not sponsored. This is for information purposes only.)
If you liked this Star Wars model, please check out another from the same show, this one built by Jason Maggitti. I have had the opportunity to discuss with Jason about his design to add working missile launchers! And now Jason says he has TWO R.C. Hailfire Droids! Yep, you read that right, go check it out!

@aidanstoons1800 Год назад

this set actually deserves and warrants a UCS. WHY IS LEGO NOT MAKING IT

@Zombie0303 Год назад

Cuz it’s a prequel set lol

@cumcrete716 Год назад

Also cause it makes too much sense for Lego to release this instead of the 30th Millennium Falcon set

They did't make this set but they make a terrible ucs hulkbuster

not enough colours inside, too many parts, not enough stickers. too expensive. that's why.

Seriously the perfect MTT MOC. I could only ever dream of making one like this. It's freaking amazing.

Not gonna lie, that's the coolest MTT I've ever seen. I love that the actual droid rack is so close to the actual film. You never see that!

We need more UCS prequels stuff. Especially from the phantom menace. It has so many incredible designs.

@Mobius118 Год назад

@mileschicken1 Год назад

Definitely but lego basically had to be held at gunpoint to release the gunship so it’ll be a while before the next one I reckon. Hope I’m wrong but

@johng8837 Год назад

The coolest part about the MTT is that it very likely was inspired by the Assyrian battering ram. Lucas clearly took inspiration from other historical weapons and vehicles, and rarely have I seen designers ever be able to do anything with its distinct shape.

@ausaskar 18 дней назад

Yeah the unified design language of all the Trade Federation equipment in Episode 1 was really cool.

@hatchetbricks Год назад

So cool! If he found a way to fit a motor in there, it would be epic!

@GearsAndBricks Год назад

I’m sure it could be done.

@awanderer3047 Год назад

For function over form you could just attach a motor to the nobs to speed it up, but this still looks incredible

@JrIcify Год назад

@@awanderer3047 That would be good if it was being displayed in a case. The motor could be hidden below, with a belt coming up through a hole.

@pauldeddens5349 Год назад

Either with chains, lots of long axles, or maybe using the newer Prime linear motors, with some remote control action.

@Aaron_BreadBasket Год назад

@@GearsAndBricks change the gear ratio to make it come out a little faster and it would be perfect

@9The0Unknown7 Год назад

@DG-ns1yh Год назад

Honestly the perfection is so on point - that I know the builder wants to and is capable of making further improvements. With some research into gear reduction and a simple gearbox hidden in the interior, he could speed up deployment speed.
