Just Imagine Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 After seeing the new UCS Imperial Shuttle coming out I wanted to build one for myself. I didn't have the parts to build a UCS or Midi scale one, so I built a Mini. I find building Mini's a lot more fun, I think I have to say that I have more respect for a builder who can create with very little than a builder who can create with a lot. So here's the shuttle: Front of the shuttle. Side of the shuttle. Back of the shuttle. The wings can fold up for landing. The shuttle disassembled. Simple, straightforward build. Here we start with the main part of the shuttle. Add on the bottom and the engines. The 'T' pieces. Attach the wings and it's all done. C&C is welcome. Quote
SirWacky Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Very nice mini! Simple but effective, Nice job! Quote
Inconspicuous Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Mini? That thing is micro! But for its size, you've managed to pack a great deal of detail in. I would love to see what it looks like in white. Good job! Quote
prateek Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) This is amazing! As Inky said, it would be great to see this in white! EDIT: I hope you don't mind, but I made it in white on LDD Edited July 9, 2010 by prateek Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Very cool microscale craft 'Just Imagine' ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Just Imagine Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 EDIT: I hope you don't mind, but I made it in white on LDD I don't mind, I was wondering what it would look like in white, actually. Originally I was planning to make it in white, but I didn't have the 3 white fin pieces. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Not bad. The way you've angled the wings, it looks more like a Theta-class than a Lambda. Quote
Just Imagine Posted July 10, 2010 Author Posted July 10, 2010 Thanks for all the comments, guys. I love building in micro/mini scale, so hopefully I should have some more MOC's up soon. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Nicely done 'Just Imagine'! For just 12+ pieces you were able to create a micro-ship that's pretty realistic in design and still functional with the folding wings. Good job! Though it would have better in white, just like in prateek's LDD design. Quote
Just Imagine Posted July 11, 2010 Author Posted July 11, 2010 @ Brickdoctor Yeah, I sort of meant it to be that way. I have a little Star Wars story going, set in the Clone Wars. This was supposed to be a Bounty Hunter's ship. I'm currently working on a larger size shuttle based on this one that can fit minifigs. Quote
