Neimoidian Shuttle MOC

[mrb18]

General Grievous Neimoidian Shuttle, having some distrust of automated shuttle systems, Grievous insisted a crewed cockpit be kept in the shuttle.

Battle droids operated his vessel for occasional transit when his personal starfighter was not available.

I would have liked it to be a bit bigger and wider, but i unfortunaly i dont have unlimited number of tan bricks....

Maybe it's little, but it's a nice moc, I love how you did the back , the tail. ( don't really know how to name it. )

Thanks Guss

Actually i have no idea what the rear of a spaceship is called, but i think Tail sounds great

[KimT]

At first I thought this was a microscaled ship, then I saw Grievous in the back

Is it a combo?

Nice and sleek design.

I especially like the design of the tail-fin(?) - shark wing on top of the shuttle...

Great work.

[mrb18]

It´s really supposed to be minifigscale but it´s a tad small...

I made a V2 and tried to make it look a little wider.

Despite your lack of bricks it's a great looking MOC, nice one! I guess it will be an ongoing project for you as you get more tan to work on it and improve it? It will be great to see how you develop it further!

[Oky]

Hey, that's pretty good! If it was a set (especially one with a new Grievous), I would totally consider getting it! Sure, it's small, but it's a great moc!

Lol. It's actually that semi-minifig scale that the first MTT was made in.

Good job!

Tan bricks ON!

[mrb18]

Thanks everybody! Yes Pedro it´s going to be an ongoing projekt, i´ll be back..

Awesome MOC mrb18 . I think is actually really cool even if it is a bit small, I especially like the "Tail" design. I think the scale of this is actually more like the scale of the TIE Advanced that comes with the new 10188 Death Star . Good job .

[JimBee]

Excellent! I hope you never destroy this one, because it is very cool. The whole thing is very accurate, and the trans-blue plates were a nice touch. I look forward to seeing future versions of this wonderful MOC.

[mrb18]

Thank you guys for your support, i´ve managed to find som more tan bricks

by stealing from another project, so it´s now uppgraded to version3 Widebody..

After this uppgrade it has to rest for a while as i am goning to try to build an

LAAT/C.

[Matteo Kenobi]

regardless of size or brick count its awesome! Very very well done, I would be very proud of it if I were you =]

[Guss]

strangely I preferred the shape when it was thinner , But it still looks nice.

Actually i agree with you, but i think it's more true to it´s orgin in

version3.

[Guss]

sadly I'm not a star wars specialist, I saw all the movies (including the animated things ) but I don't remember this shuttle, do you have a picture of it ?

You may not have a lot of tan bricks, but you have a skill with bricks, and that makes this MOC good. I like the cockpit for the droid, and Grevious' chair.

[KimT]

Agreed.

And it's kinda cool seeing how you've come from v1 to v3.

Nice work

[mrb18]

Yesterday i desided to let the little shuttle rest in favour

of a new projekt, but i couldn´t help my self modyfing

it a bit more..

The original

Version4 and an Imperial shuttle for reference

[Bounty Hunter]

A little small, but it is really good for its size though.

[Guss]

Yeah now that I see the original model, your 2nd version is more close to the picture, but I still prefer the first one ! anyway , good job I like it!

[Zepher]

I like it. It's a cool idea, it's smaller than the orginal, but still got the right design and look. It's like on the outside it looks mini-scale, but it still fits figs. It's a wierd concept, but i don't dislike it! Nice build!

[Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?!]

It's in ATOC and ROTS.

Grevious used it in ROTS and Nute Gunray used it in ATOC.

No pics, but still a great job

[DJ Force]

Looks really good!

A few suggestions for the next update

Make it even wider, but try to flatten the side parts a little. Those Neimoidian designs as well as the Nabooian designs are sleek and curved as much as possible.

The upper brown part shouldn´t be sloped, but straight, showing a flat surface.

At the point where the flat part meets with the sloped part should be some greeble. Maybe an antenna or lightsaber blade with some small Technic pieces wrapped around it. At the reference picture some tubes, bars or whatever that is can be seen. And when you´re already at it, apply the same to the outer tip of the hull, just like in the pic.
