Jett Quasar's Star Wars Replicas

[SkunkTwerks]

I finally got to play around with your Coruscant Transport and your U-wing last night, and wow! Those are truly things of beauty, absolutely marvelous work. Having a bit of trouble with the hinge on Palpatine's Shuttle though, did v.1.3 break it?

The Shuttle wings are very tricky.  There needs to be a very specific set of flight conditions in order for them to open and close.  The Hero of the Kerbal Empire video details exactly what you need to do for it to work.  I've tested it in V1.3 and it is fine.

I think the base is actually my favorite thing

I finally finished my latest video.  It was a blast to make and even more fun to watch!

Love the rounded nose on the A-Wing, very sleek!
 

How's the ARC-170 coming along? You posted a teaser a while back and I'm dying to see the result. 

[Jett_Quasar]

I signed up for Kerbal-X on February first of this year and as of today I have had just over 10,000 downloads of my stuff... WOW!

Of course the majority of the downloads were on my Star Wars replica craft.

@Jett_Quasar I made a TIE/D Defender prototype based off of your TIE fighter designs. It's rather unstable and was a pain to make, but if you don't move it around a whole lot it can fly very well and very fast - up to 2700 m/s (6000 mph) in the atmosphere. I managed to fly it out all the way to Minmus. Pictures coming soon.

That's great, I'm looking forward to seeing those pics.

Meanwhile, I've posted some other stuff on my Kerbal-X Star Wars Hangar

There's no doubt the legs can be made to move, but it's such a large and heavy vehicle that I'm skeptical it wouldn't break itself apart trying to walk.  That design definitely looks promising though.

I was going to have to build some vehicle for it to be fitted to regardless, and I thought to myself ages ago that it would be fun to see if I could get yours to move. But yeah, weight will be a definite issue, also balance, though enough reaction wheels will balance anything

I agree! Top-notch work as always, Jett, really love the snow-speeder aesthetics.

Cheers mate, even though it onnly appears for a moment. That thing has a killer part count.. Awesome video man, it felt so star wars-y and I loved the humor of it too. Great work mate.

[Jett_Quasar]

Thanks to everyone for the support and feedback, keep it coming.  Today I uploaded the AT-AT craft file to Kerbal-X AND uploaded another Star Wars video (although it has been posted before I had to "fix" it so my friends in Europe and Asia could view it)

You can download all craft files from my Star Wars hangar on Kerbal-X

 Damn straight!  Reach for the stars!  This is possible.

Of course it is! It's just bearings. The problem is making it walk. Do that and you will win KSP.

[SG Aero]

Well with some very precise trimming you could possible get it to walk a few steps.

[selfish_meme]

In my testing it requires a lot of SAS to keep it from falling over, but my mechanism is one taken from a real walking example and moves the foot in the required cycle, then it needs to bedriven from one wheel with the driver attachment points in the right place. It will work, for a while, long enough probably for some epic video

[Jett_Quasar]

I have some ideas as well but keep working at it, I'm sure someone will crack this problem eventually.

I'm thinking of adding a Victory Star Destroyer and Skunktwerks' V-Wing to one of my upcoming videos... What do you think?
