Does MOCBoxing use LEGO® bricks?
Does MOCBoxing use LEGO® bricks?
All MOCBoxing orders use only genuine LEGO® bricks unless the product description says otherwise. The only times we do not use them are when MOC designers specifically request parts that The LEGO® Group does not make, like electronic parts or train axles.
New vs. Used Parts
New vs. Used Parts
For the new parts, all parts are new unless they are not available anywhere on the market. This very rarely happens and is usually only for discontinued parts in Old Grey or other retired colors. New parts are straight out of a box or LEGO Pick-a-Brick, and have never been built with before.
Used parts have been built with before and may vary in wear and age.
Are electronics included?

Non-LEGO electronics are not included. Most MOCs that require electronics specify if they require BuWizz, TrixBrix, Lightailing or other parts, which can be bought on those respective websites.

Do you accept returns?
We order parts from multiple suppliers to make your order specifically for you. Since each order is custom made, we cannot accept returns.
So because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I took another look at how I could make this even more accurate, I'm I'm happy to say I've made some great improvements:
- A more accurate and detachable warhead
- Rear warp exhaust ports more accurate (and translucent read for a lighting kit!)
- Better greebling
- 4 front facing pulse phaser cannons
- Far more accurate front ship body
- Countermeasure pod launchers
- More accurate sensor arrays
- Nacelle RCS thrusters
- A FAR better ARTICULATED mount system for display
And it's just a more refined build process. I really hope you like this new version and have great fun sending this little ship into battle!
UPDATE 3! Nacelles and their connections are way more stable than before, thanks to one of my supporters. Thank you so much! Also, now features Garak and visible cannons on the underside. Again, only a few extra parts, mostly the same, just adjusted - all in the updated parts list/instructions.
UPDATE 2! I made the underside more accurate thanks to some awesome feedback! It's only a couple of extra parts, and they are listed in the updated parts list/instructions.
UPDATE! There was a small issue on page one with an inverted plate not connected after I swapped a 4x4 for two 2x4's. I've now put the 4x4 back, and updated the instructions/part list. There was also a page where I had forgotten to flip the instructions - this is corrected.

Now this is one tough little ship!
I absolutely ADORE sci-fi, especially Star Trek: DS9 as it was the first series I had watched from the first episode. The style of season long (sometimes MULTI season long) story arcs I'd never seen before in Trek, so I got deeply invested in the characters on the space station.
But a space station can only take you so far. When they introduced the Defiant, I was giddy with glee. This was a sleek ship with an insane weapons loadout AND a cloak! Everything you could ever want in a small starship and more.
So here's my version. There are others out there, but this is mine, and in my modest opinion, this is the best looking version out there at anything approaching this scale for the sheer level of detail. Every line, angle and shape has been replicated as close as I could possibly get them, and I've even got this to less than $30 worth of parts including, of course, my little micro-build crew.
So enjoy flying this around your house, and remember not to go to ramming speed too often!
