Today, I would like to present my Desert Sail-20 Skiff.

The Sail-20 was similar in design to the Ubrikkian Industries Bantha-II cargo skiff. The sail skiffs were smaller in size however, and were designed to be used as one-man personal fliers. Unlike the Bantha IIs, the sail skiffs housed a pair of blaster cannons located on each side of the lower hull.

This model is not a "complex" as some of the others. Not alot of SNOT. But, it still looks good and stays true to the original model.

It is designed, so you can place a sail from the new Jabba's Sail Barge set on it. Till, I build these in real bricks, I'm not sure if it will look too big, or not. After I have this built and the sail in place, I'll have to look at it and play with from there.

I believe this is my smallest model in my series of Kenner Mini-Rigs. It has 134 pieces in it and can hold one figure. The .lxf file is in my Brickshelf folder.

MLC-3 to come tomorrow!

Thanks for looking, Jamie

Nice! This was my most-wanted mini-rig as a kid (that I never got)... I always though the little gangplank was silly (where do you store the prisoner you'll make walk the plank?) but I loved the look of it, being a mini-skiff with more aesthetics of the sail barge, too.

Can't wait to see one built outta real bricks! And to see the MLC-3 (my first mini-rig...only one I ever broke, too, thanks to the silly brittle tabs on the dome and me being 4 or so)

Yeah, I didn't include a plank in this model, just for that reason! How does a prisoner get on the plank, there is no holding cell, or any place for a passenger. So, there is no hidden features in this model with a plank. This model is pretty straight forward, no bells or whistles.

Thanks for the comments guys, Jamie

Maybe no bells and whistles but it still encompasses the mini rig perfectly!

I'm loving all of these... my nostalgia for my old sets is off the scale looking at these!
