Bob De Quatre Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 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.

1980SomethingSpaceGuy Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 This is awesome! Very good job with the details and color.. And I like the idea that this one is actually affordable. Quote
Kristof Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I have not much else to say. It's gorgeous! Quote
Toa_of_Shadow Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Oh cool it’s the predecessor of the hammerhead corvette. Neat Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Very impressive, you've managed to maintain a lot of detail for the scale! Quote

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

MacaroniAndCheez Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I really like the way you design the front, everything else here is amazing! Quote
matheus Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 Omg, how can i get the instructions of these beautiful ship Quote
furiothecat Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited August 7, 2020 by furiothecat Quote
