BUILDING A 10FT LEGO VENATOR! Part 1 - The Bridge

[@gabriel_a06671]

Honestly, I think the variety of grays make it look so realistic

[@2bricks]

Thanks! I do too personally!

[@arrun5125]

I love having the variation in greys and the old yellowed pieces. It makes it look so much more realistic.

[@2bricks]

Yay! Thanks :D

[@pivomanslovensko]

its very unique and unconventional

[@scottseverson4311]

My CDO would get the best of me, 😅.

[@LittleMissSmallPaw]

looks good indeed. but don't let LEGO hear this, they'll start justifying their subpar parts quality with this

[@daanvanderleest7171]

This is where the fun begins.

[@2bricks]

Haha yehhh! Thanks Daan!

[@nickbeach4472]

This deserves so much more views!

[@2bricks]

Thank you!! I’m betting as the series goes on the views will increase!!

[@nickbeach4472]

I hope so this is going to be so cool are you going to add interior because you could create some really iconic scenes like Darth Maul and the 332nd battling it off or like the big engine room would also be cool!

[@2bricks]

@ I’m going to put as many interior spaces as I can! Trying to stay at micro scale as much as possible!

[@nickbeach4472]

Ok for the people maybe make little studs and it would be so cool if you made a little LAAT that would be so cool

[@2bricks]

Thanks! You’ll have to check out my previous microfleet videos!! I have the LAAT and many others they will live in the Venator ready to go!!

[@baumstamm1000]

Love the mix of old grey and new bright grey pieces. This will look phenomenal on the moc when finished

[@2bricks]

Thanks!! I think so too!

[@kcrain81]

Dude! Seeing the Venator bridge large enough to house a Tantive IV inside it...WOW!!! I can't wait to see how this goes along. I'm hoping, once it's all done and semi-modular, it will be easy enough for you to potentially film it somewhere large enough that you can back up, walk all around it, and also stage more of the micro fleet around it as well. It really is hard to tell relative size of ships even in the movies or shows, because it doesn't always include sufficient perspective with known things. A final build video like that would be amazing to see (along with its final resting place in your Lego skybox)!

[@2bricks]

Busy day!! Took me a minute to get to everyone’s comments! Yes I think going even a bit more modular than I originally planned is a great idea! I sort of already feel myself heading that way as I keep thinking about what I could break off or have open-up-able! There’s a long road ahead so we will see!

[@kcrain81]

@@2bricks Totally cool, take the time you need to respond! Even just a like is good enough for me to know you saw it. Just happy to be on the ride with you!

[@2bricks]

Wooo! We’re on the ride now alright!!

[@PhilipKraanen]

I love that you used vintage train rails for detailing.

[@2bricks]

Cheers!! I loved that they used them for the daily bugle exterior! Great parts usage by the designer!

[@theelderscrollsnerdysgramo7180]

I hope you get more views so you can afford this project. I can't wait for the final results!!!

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!!

[@Myth-X]

oh my god it’s finally happeninggggg!!!!! 🎉

[@ARTBRiX]

First time I’ve seen 2brickss face!

[@2bricks]

Oh! Haha I don’t hide it or anything, just don’t show it super often lol 😆

[@carloslorza3143]

Excited for the journey!

[@2bricks]

Thanks so much!!!

He’s saving an ISD for 100k subscribers.

[@ARTBRiX]

Nah he is doing a mini figure scale Death Star II

[@2bricks]

I’m going to build minifigure scale starkiller base!! 😝 I’ll just need all the plastic on earth, so I’d better start now

[@ARTBRiX]

@@2bricks well I can't wait! I want it fully functional as well and other planets from lego to destroy 😅

[@dubbzibricks]

This is such an exciting build series in the making. Already looking forward to Part 2. It is really interesting to see how you are using Studio. I didn't even know you could do that. Keep up the awesome work.

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!! I’m hoping to help other folks who are thinking of taking on large endeavors like this so I’m glad to know it was a good inclusion!

[@scottseverson4311]

I love this. Excellent work so far. On a side note, when the Actis did the fly-by, you can tell only R2s head fits, LOL.

[@2bricks]

Totally!!!

[@AustinTexas05]

I’m so excited for this series.

[@2bricks]

Yay!! Thanks

[@chris960426]

Finally the time has come, the venator will be build

[@THEYEAR2143]

Let's go!!! Will be watching this with much interest!

[@2bricks]

Thanks!!

[@tanguyassimon8331]

cant wait to see the heavy turbolaser

[@2bricks]

Yeah that’s gonna be fun!!!

[@Thomas_96]

Bro, I immediatly subscribed. Im really exited to see final model. But Im worried that even with huge technic frame inside, its still gonna bend, even if you reduce weight to the minimum. Maybe you can use big yellow frames from 42146 liebherr crane, but I still dont think its gonna be enough.

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much!!! I’m excited to have you along for the journey! I have ideas for how to keep it from flexing and I’ll be sharing those with you all as we get into the structure!!

[@michaelyoung7261]

Let it begin!!

[@AFT3RDAY5]

Just a small part and already phenomenal 😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@jh6031]

So impressive! Will enjoy following this project.

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much!

[@alpha77productions22]

Can't wait for the rest!

[@peytonbare5479]

That’s really cool

[@2bricks]

Cheers!!!

[@protector_of_the_realms]

Can’t wait for the minifigure scale version of the Death Star next 🤩

[@bane5149]

Interested to see how this one goes, particularly the internal structure. Iomedes managed to recreate Erik Varzsegi's Venator without the steel frame, but that was still 2ft shorter! Good luck!

[@2bricks]

Thanks!! Yeah mine is gonna be a wholly unique beast due to the split down the middle! I can’t wait to get in there and really start messing around!

[@slipstream7363]

I'm all in on this! Let's go! The decision to use old grey alongside Lbg is brilliant, along with the occasional dark tan/light tan accent here and there will give so much more visual interest in the final model. ✌️❤️🌮's

[@Noirelisk]

this is sooo cool

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!!

[@maxd5007]

That is beastly. Crazy it is so large and still a minifigure would not fit in the bridge.

[@2bricks]

It’s insane I know haha!

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

EDITED 8:16 Hyperwave Comm Scanner

[@chronicgaming3280]

Yep I agree, that appears to be what it's labelled as.

[@2bricks]

Woo! I love my community haha!

[@ebaymagot]

commented and liked to help with the algorithm, watched the ad to help 2bricks

[@2bricks]

Haha thank you, I appreciate it so much!

[@morgancestmoi6018]

Hey good luck man

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!

[@ifwcorvids]

1:12 im american how many walmart parking lots is that??

[@QtheLaserDude]

About 12.

[@QtheLaserDude]

Okay, actually I became kinda curious. The average Walmart is 55 meters wide, according to Google, and if we assume the parking lot runs alongside the actual structure, to allow space on both sides for semi's to circle the building, let's safely assume the lot itself spans an additional 10 meters on each side, so 75 meter parking lots. The Venator is stated in-universe to be 1137 meters long, from end to end. I'll use both a 55 meter lot, and a 75 meter lot to give us a range of how many lots make up a Venator. So after some simple math, we find that a Venator class ship is approximately 15.16-20.67 average American Walmart parking lots long. The bridge alone would stretch about 2.5 lots long, which leads me to believe the scale the Star Wars universe puts on those things isn't quite right, cause we see plenty kf the interior bridges in multiple forms of media, and I ain't never seen one able to fit that many shopping carts.

[@Legomaegg0]

Keeping up with this series is what’s going to keep me happy in 2025!

[@2bricks]

Yay!! Making it is what’s gonna keep me sane haha

[@Lemon-cream-pie]

I don’t think we can genuinely imagine how huge it will be

[@2bricks]

I’m so excited to show everyone! And me!

[@StevePerryTotallyReal]

Around 10 feet I reckon

[@Lemon-cream-pie]

@ yes but it’s hard to imagine on a table or in a living room

[@Lemon-cream-pie]

@@2bricks I’m excited too

[@Alargeselfhatred]

This is crazy!!!

[@enrictellez]

Looks amazing!

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!!

[@darthganon944]

I will be watching your career with great interest...

[@Catbosske]

i like how there is old gray to show battle damage and it shows it has been deployed before. Sure, all new gray would be clean looking but it would be a bit unrealistic

[@2bricks]

Yeah, totally!!

[@christopherhefty1155]

did you measure the "stud height" of the model yet(?) from your front facing reference image at 7:35

[@2bricks]

I just did! It’s 90 studs from the top of the bridge to the lowest point of the hull

[@lyugui]

You can try getting into Battelfront 2 (2017), in the starship mode and ground kashyyyk they have a hyper detailed Venator you can get real close to with a ship.

[@2bricks]

Yeh I love that!! Thanks! I really want to see if it’s possible to recreate that map once the Venator is finished! How cool would that be?!

[@RPWStudios]

Nice.

[@squorlple7763]

Looking forward to seeing this monster come together! Have you considered using Bright Light Yellow pieces instead of Tan for the Open Circle Fleet emblem?

[@2bricks]

I have not but I might!! Depends on parts availability for how I want to make it!

[@javiersp15]

Wow

[@dapperdanny2957]

Is this gonna be a series? If so then I just subscribed to your channel my friend. The build will be truly epic!!!

[@2bricks]

Yes it’s going to be a series, and thanks!! Welcome!

[@jacobogonzalez6383]

oh yes

[@2bricks]

“chuckled Obi-Wan, derisively” 😂

[@gamer39823]

W

[@CoreFlux]

Is there an explanation for why these have two? Does the second have a backup captain for when the first one gets blown up?

[@2bricks]

There is actually!! One bridge controls the Venator and the other conducts all of the fighters and other support craft, acting like air traffic control!

[@CoreFlux]

@2bricks that's actually a cool and reasonable explanation, glad I asked

[@morgothfromangband6082]

I hope you have a used Lego shop for cheap pieces in your area.

[@2bricks]

I will be visiting the pick a brick wall for sure!

[@phosphorusgold2391]

On the diagonal parts of the hull, I'd be wary of calculating their angle this way: since the hull is sloped, the angle shown on a top-down projection is not the angle you'll have to do when building it flat.

[@2bricks]

Thanks! Yeah I am taking that into account, thank you!

[@ryanwells2176]

Just wondering what the scale roughly is?

[@2bricks]

It’s about 1:376 scale, I believe!

[@joewilliamson-pm2rq]

do you know the aprox scale on the ship?

[@2bricks]

I calculated it at about 1:376 scale!

[@apocalypticsurvivor6111]

That bridge itself could be a ship

[@2bricks]

Right?!?

[@dylanstonemusic1614]

My guy is doing this and Hogwarts at the same time

[@2bricks]

Yeh, I think there’s something wrong with me lol

[@MrStrafeMan]

Dang you are crazy...

[@2bricks]

haha, yep!!! Hopefully in the best way :D

[@MrStrafeMan]

@@2bricks Yeah :D I mean, if, or should i say "When"? you are gonna finish that build, its gonna be crazy huge. I cant wait to see it after its done.

[@cpt.jamming]

Is it just me or does the Venator look like a very big gungan face from frontal top down look to someone else too? When you take the two bridges as the eyes and the long superstructure as the rest of the face

[@2bricks]

It sure does and I wish I could unsee it lol!

[@cpt.jamming]

@2bricks me too

[@Ally4Gamer]

Those yellowed bricks... omg...
