The Build

  • Box 3: Bags 9-13

    Bag 10 had one or two small pieces that were a different color than they should have been, gray for dark gray for tan. Not a big deal at all. The gun housing has a lot of different colors in it anyway.

    On Step 813 I ran into a slight issue. There is a "dark bluish gray plate, modified 2 x 2 with Pin Hole - Full Cross Support Underneath" that attaches to the "light bluish gray wedge 4 x 4 triple with stud notches." What does this mean? If you try to move the cannon the whole thing will detach from the wedge piece. It's very weak as it's only held in place by 2 studs. If you wanted you could replace these parts with authentic Lego pieces but I highly doubt that would fix this issue. It's a design problem, or a just don't play with it matter. So I used rubber cement to secure the pieces.. Either that or you'll be removing the wedge everytime someone touches the lower cannon.

    Bags 11 and 13 also had one or two pieces that were a different color than they should have been. If I remember correctly they weren't on the outside of the ship either.
