FlyInSpace Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Let's start 2025 with yet another Imperial ship! My ever-growing Nanofig-scale collection gets a new model: the very sleek Imperial Gozanti Cruiser from Rebels. This build was painstakingly modeled to the most accurate reference material I could find. It features all the details of the original design: shield projectors, narrow viewport, symmetrical upper and ventral turrets, sensor array, tapered engines and wings... The docking clamps on the underside can hold four TIE fighters I made for display, or two of my Midi AT-ATs, which are now updated and fully compatible with the Gozanti. All models are at the same Nanofigure scale. The very organic shape of the whole upper section required a precise combination of angled panels in order to achieve a continuous, natural curve. This really felt like designing a fish, reproducing that "elongated teardrop" shape. You'd think making a fish out of Lego was challenging enough... the wings of the ship had to not only be compact but also have a slight inwards taper. On top of that, they had to hold the weight of two AT-ATs. All these things were achieved thanks to a thin and sturdy technic structure. This build also has detachable landing gear, and comes with two different stands: a short stand, ideal for displaying the Gozanti solely or with TIEs attached, and a beefier, taller stand to show it carrying two AT-ATs in mid-air. Badass. At 55cm in length and made of about 3,000 parts, it's still a slim model that can fit pretty much anywhere in your Lego room. Once mounted on its tall stand with two AT-ATs though, it becomes a fairly impressive display piece, with more than 5,300 parts in total. ► Instructions for the Gozanti are available at BrickVault!

KimT Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Wow, that's an impressive and supersleek build. Extremely well done and I truly appreciate the time and effort you've clearly put into this. As for the instructions - I see the AT-AT is not included. Are the instructions for your midi-scale AT-ATs updated to use with this model, or is it just the models you use that have been updated?

Ellisss_2 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Amazing build, the amount of detail at this scale is amazing, always makes your models look bigger than they are. Quote
Calanon Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Very sleek, gorgeous build and I love that you've demontrasted it with TIE/lns and AT-ATs. Quote

Maybe I should've made it clearer in the description, but yes, I updated the AT-AT model (and instructions) so it can be connected to the Gozanti. Existing AT-AT customers should've received a free update from BrickVault already. Those who don't own it yet will get the updated model upon purchase. The update is basically a minor structural change (only a few pieces) and the addition of a small opening to the roof of the AT-AT. It's optional though, so customers can build both roof versions if they plan to switch up displays often. Quote

Thanks so much! Yeah I'm always doing my best to achieve a dense look. Glad you like it!
