I would also add if anyone wants copies of the stud.io and pdf files I have I am willing to share on a thumb drive.

I have obtained files for the heavy dropship and landing pad. Alexander Ehle has also created a fuel transfer station. I am in process on parts on most all of it.

In October lego added an upload CSV option on their website. I can later on make custom csvs for all of the pieces. I will have to get some other set pieces though.

Well it appears that lego has shut down production until early january. I can not order any more parts until after the new year. The main production facilities are in Denmark which is where the not so common stuff is made and shipped from. I assume also they are lowering inventory levels ahead of year end inventory too. Plus it gets better we have the Chinese new year going on too so stuff out of china land is slow to come out as well...

I was also going to add if anyone just wants copies of the files let me know, and a thumb drive can go out. As I know high speed or fast internet still is not yet everywhere.

I am getting closer and closer to getting this wrapped up. The heavy dropship I got plans for is slowly coming together, but significant reengineering has been required to finish out the build and strengthen things so it does not collapse on its own weight...

That is a monster Lego build! I would not want to attempt to move it around.
The custom red stripes on the dropship, are pretty cool as well.

If I ever see Carrie Henn I might have to broach the idea to her. Do something cheesy to get interest...
