Posted June 15, 200915 yr Here are some work in progress pics of my Shuttle Tydirium hope you like. pull the rear laser cannon out to lower or raise the landing gear. obviously it is not finnished yet i am waiting for a few parts, it was again inspired by Dmac on brickshelf.
June 15, 200915 yr That's amazing! I've seen Baronsat's UCS Shuttle before and thought that he'd captured it perfectly and then you come along! Will the wings support their own weight in flight mode though? And I think the cockpit should be angled a little steeper. Edited June 15, 200915 yr by LEGOscum

June 15, 200915 yr That's amazing! I've seen Baronsat's UCS Shuttle before and thought that he'd captured it perfectly and then you come along! I second that You really do have too much time on your hands since you've got time for this and the other UCS models you've done. Dammit I need a LEGO room to get started on achieving such skill and ability.
June 15, 200915 yr Wow, great job! I love all the details. Both of your models (B-wing and this one) are outstanding.
June 15, 200915 yr Holy-frickin-crap! So many perfect Lego creations, so little time to reply to them all. They just keep coming! The engine is spot-on, and the cockpit just (in a good way) Its hard to use words to explain it, especially since my jaw has dropped to the ground and wants to stay there...
June 15, 200915 yr Author I'm at a loss for words...Can't wait to see it when it's completely done. just ordered the last peice
June 17, 200915 yr Good job with the Shuttle Tydirium :) How long did it take to build it? Which part of the ship was the hardest to build? Where did you get the black window from? It blends perfectly with the cockpit of the ship sention.
June 17, 200915 yr I have one of the Kenner 1984 Imperial Shuttles, and yours is almost spot on to the real thing! Awesome job!
June 17, 200915 yr Author Good job with the Shuttle Tydirium :) How long did it take to build it?Which part of the ship was the hardest to build? Where did you get the black window from? It blends perfectly with the cockpit of the ship sention. the hardest bit was the three wings believe it or not the amount of technic pins and axles in them plus nearly 100 1x1 brick with hole in each one! the window is a 12 x 4 windscreen with car window tint on. took about 2 months including parts ordering and working out problems.
June 17, 200915 yr Author That looks great but I have 1 question though...can it hold minifigs? yes 4 in the cockpit, the body would hold a lot more if you remove the landing gear mechanism.
June 19, 200915 yr Excellent! Currently working on my AT-RT, but this will be my next project... or shall I wait untill next year when Lego is gonna release a UCS Tyderium... HOPEFULLY! Again, great stuff, thanx for sharing. Edited June 19, 200915 yr by DutchRebel
September 5, 200915 yr It is not "inspired" by dmac. It is almost "copied"... Original: (gull gallery of dmac's original ship here)
January 4, 201015 yr Author ahh but if it was copied it would be the same which it is not, i think that covers it never the less it is now finished, been working on something else recently. Edited January 4, 201015 yr by cavegod
January 4, 201015 yr Agreed. It's kinda hard making something that bog without it slightly resembling other MOCs. A shuttle is a shuttle after all.
January 4, 201015 yr That MOC makes other peoples effort look bad. Honestly it is just amazing. I am sure it cost a lot and probably take a great deal of work to get all the angles and shapes right. Thanks for sharing it with us. I for one has defiantly learnt some new techniques from the MOC. Cannot wait until you post some of your other MOCs.
January 6, 201015 yr Wow, I'm happy this got bumped, this is quite amazing. It looks so legit, just like the movie version, fantastic job!!
