So, following on from my definitely-styled-as-a-Star-Wars-ship ship and my extension of an existing Canon vessel, here is something that is only really Star Wars because I decided it is and have put a Cathar in charge to prove it. See? Fortune's Thorn - urgently leaving "Scarper lads, it's the law!" *Ahem* Let's try that again. Fortune's Thorn - crew A bold and rakish Pirate Captain and his crew (including a Verpine, or as near a Verpine as I can get with current figures). And their marauder, Fortune's Thorn (AKA an excuse to build vertical): Fortune's Thorn She's inspired in part by Dr Ahpra's starship from Star Wars: Darth Vader, but erring more towards a nautical shape in space. And bright red. I am very irritated to find the yellow super structure showing through so brightly thanks to my flash, but otherwise, I'm quite pleased with the shape. She was originally half the size, but I thought increasing her mass would do her a bit more justice. Also: guns, lots, for the shooting with: Fortune's Thorn Landed, also showing off rear guns and greebling: Fortune's Thorn - landed And an interior, albeit one that is very hard to photograph: Fortune's Thorn - captain's chair Fortune's Thorn - living space I hope she tickles a few fancies, despite being relatively off the cuff. Full gallery is here.

So, continuing on from my previous creation, set in a post-Legacy era setting where the Jedi have scattered into various sects (honestly, this is largely irrelevant but it amuses me to play with something based on the future of a canon that is no longer canonical), here is a space fighter type vessel for the dapper Force-using Mandalorian about town: The shape is based on the Gauntlet fighter/transports used by the Death Watch in The Clone Wars (Kom'rik class for those wanting to look it up on Wookiepedia), though scale-wise she is much smaller than that. I wanted to evoke rather than match exactly. She's blue because I had a lot of blue (and practically no grey, thank you my last creation), while the name and motif is taken from the serendipitous use of Nightwing's glider's nose for the curve of the nose-cone. Like the Gauntlet, she lands with rotating wings and has a rear access hatch. Also like the Gauntlet, she has an underside hatch, through in deference to the scale, there is only room for the pilot - named Panak Grel by grabbing a bunch of letters and arranging them into something that sounds like it might come and punch you in the face - to eject and jet-pack into battle. What she has that the Gauntlet doesn't is a natty under-bonnet storage compartment for a speeder bike. [/url The bike itself is not particularly special and exists mainly for Grel to charge into battle swinging a lightsaber stave. Anyhow. Full gallery is here and all comments welcome. Enjoy!

I must admit, this is probably my first proper, finished Star Wars MOC since I was about ten and building Darth Vader out of Castle parts and no doubt the odd multi-coloured X-Wing. Over the years, I've generally collected Star Wars Lego purely for the parts but recently - probably due to a certain trailer - I have had a suddent surge of inspiration for the theme. The result is 87cm long, features a full interior and has probably done me out of grey bricks for the foreseeable future! [EDIT: based on feedback from folks on this thread, I have modified the original model - see a dozen or so posts down for details!] Ateryn Dawn - updated Original version follows: Ateryn Dawn by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr The vessel is called the Ateryn Dawn, the idea being that the chap who owns it (Jedi Shadow Rhaga Venn) is from a planet called Ateryn (totally made up and non-canon, I just liked the sound). For ease of canon, I imagine it being after what was the Legacy Era in the old EU, with the Jedi Order broken up into various different chapters and sects. Venn's saber is a custom piece since I couldn't find an easy way of getting hold of the one instance of a trans-clear 4l bar Lego have actually - it's meant to represent a white blade. Ateryn Dawn crew by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr The ship is based on the concept and final designs for the Blockade Runner and the Republic Cruiser - this is essentially the next step down in the market, probably some sort of courier originally but very much old-fashioned and second-hand (as with all the best Star Wars ships). I imagine it being fast but not heavily armed and what weaponry there is is mainly defensive. Ateryn Dawn by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr The interior includes a cockpit, a cargo bay in the nose, a lounge-diner-second cargo bay, a workbench and utility room, a fresher and two bunk rooms, plus access to the hyperdrive at the back. Plenty of room for Jedi training! Ateryn Dawn lounge by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr Apologies if the picture quality is sub-par, by the way. This is the first time I've taken pictures in my new flat and the lighting has been atrocious (especially since this is apparently 'rain on Cambridge' weekend). But hopefully it all gives the right impression! Venn's speederbike by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr This has all rather set me on a Star Wars MOCing binge, so I have a few more models to share in the coming weeks. All comments welcome and appreciated!
