So over a 5 day span I have been working on my biggest minecraft build to date! We will see how long it takes you to guess what I am working on.
(note: I am still not done! I have some minor details to add, and possible an interior. I will post the finished project whenever I get there.)
18 Hours spent building
About 4 hours a day for 5 days
Virtually Virtual:
I only had used one picture to go off of. I did use creative mode and fly, otherwise no mods, no world edits.
The first step I took was deciding how long it should be. I then tried to judge the angle of the
perimeter. There are no slanted blocks on minecraft; the most difficult part of the build was calculating the inclines. I needed to find out how many blocks to go before going inwards a block, to make a sloping effect. I overshot my first time, building the outer right outline, but got it right the second time.
In this first picture I am flying high above to try and get an idea of the outline. I was using waypoints to mark the tips and middle of the ship to know where they were. It helped a lot since the length of the build was out of the visual range. Which unfortunately means it is next to impossible to ever see the ship as a whole.
I got the middle perimeter layed out, you can already tell what its going to be! (hopefully)
Around day 3 I had finished the bottom of the ship and was nearing completion of the top. Using some simple math I figured out the incline of this 160 block long beast!
The finished product! Minus the piece in the middle that was having loading issues due to the distance.
I will post more, and a video, when I finish the trimmings.
Thoughtful gab: My Star Destroyer is so win! My wife says its cool but I can tell she is kind of just saying that. Does she realize how many blocks this took? Or how difficult it was to figure out with no blueprints?? lol anyway...
She hasn't played minecraft with me for a good while.. I will keep pestering her to do so though and when she does... she will love it.
