Posted December 30, 20168 yr This is my first complete piece that I have made as an adult. LOL. Woo hoo! I won't have a brick count until I dismantle, but it is huge. 54 studs long x 20 studs wide, almost as long as my arm. It can carry up to 24 men tightly, 16 men loosely (pictured). The heavy weapon can be dismounted and placed on field mount if tactically useful. The searchlight on the front can rotate a full arc.
December 31, 20168 yr Author Thanks guys. I'm thinking about breaking it down already for the bricks, but I am torn..... I want to keep this thing alive at the same time! :)

January 2, 20178 yr This looks great! However, the engine angles and size just look a little bit off to me. Kind regards, Ellis.
January 2, 20178 yr The official version is so blah; this is much better! The details towards the back really make it.

I wish I had the right pieces to build better engine flaps, because in the actual vehicle they have some curvature rather than being flat. I have a big shipment of Lego coming in later this week and maybe when I revisit this model again, I will focus more on the aft section of the ship using some of those pieces. 2. I will admit that I struggled with the engine angling because my model was much bigger than the default Lego design that I got the engine design from. So in the adaptation, I made some mistakes. 3. This was my first serious attempt at a complex model, so I will also chalk up some mistakes to inexperience. Building this ship taught me a lot. I just broke down the model this morning because I needed the pieces for another project (a First Order themed AT-ST variant). But I intend on rebuilding this ship in the future.
