Almost exactly six years ago, I built a MOC, the first non-digital one since I get out of my Dark Age... And the Assemble the Fleet Contest on Flickr was the exact thing I needed to pay hommage to that MOC I like so much.

So I started thinking how to scale down a 160 studs long spaceship fit into 32 studs. I tried to keep the shapes, the colors and details as much as possible, and it was no easy task. Of course some compromises had to be made in some areas. I also corrected the one thing that bothered me for all these years: adding hangar bay doors on both sides.

This is awesome! Very good job with the details and color.. And I like the idea that this one is actually affordable. :wink:

Yes I managed to scale down the cost by far more than 5!! :grin:

I'm considering making free instructions for it...

Excellent build, you can see the in-universe design influence this would have had on later craft like the Nebulon-B and the Hammerhead Corvette, and I love the creative use of newer triangular pieces and the Nexo Knights's shields.

Just a note, the UCS-scale one is still being sold as a kit by a someone on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000181220387.html
