[MOC] [Instructions] Trast Heavy Transports A-A4B landspeeder (Moloch speeder)

[barneius]

Trast Heavy Transports A-A4B landspeeder MOC. A short-haul reinforced cargo speeder known for it’s powerful and noisy Magna Drive engine. Gangster Moloch used his modified A-A4B to chase young Han Solo and Qi’ra during the spectacular opening scene in „Solo: A Star Wars Story”. Over 2.800 pieces; 36 suds long and 26 studs wide. Hovers on four almost not visible clear wheels. Detailed body and cockpit. Opening cargo box with 3 passenger seats and cargo area. Scaled to fit my Mobquet M-68 MOC. PDF step-by-step instructions available at Rebrickable here. More pics on my flickr.

Absolutely awesome, and it looks so good parked next to Han’s stolen speeder! I’m not a big fan of totally smooth builds but your use of bars, studs and modified plates for texture is really pleasing to look at. It’s very good, you’ve done a great job.

Just completed this build! Awesome work, it really looks great. I’ve got your M-68 on the way, now you just gotta make an Aratech Patrol Bike and I can build the whole scene.

Thank you guys! I'm really glad you like it. Vast majority of people treat this vehicle as the ugliest, most boring and simply not interesting at all. Even though it's definitely one of the least popular Star Wars vehicles I've decided to build it in LEGO because I just love how massive it is and wanted to have it on my shelf side to side with Han's M-68.

Besides it may look just like two connected round boxes form a distance, yet if you look closer you may see that this speeder is full of details, different shapes and overlapping surfaces. Capturing all of them in LEGO form was both challenging and pleasing. And it took months :D

Therefore I'm very pleased I'm not the only one to like the vehicle. And @BigButtah I'm so satisfied you like (and have!) the finished model.

So clean - the side by side to the original really does this justice.  Amazing execution.
