Lars Posted August 21, 2009 This Imperial landing craft has been on my shelf collecting dust for a long while now, waiting to be photographed. I made some minor changes and I may work on it a bit more before I upload more pics. The cockpit have room for two pilots. There's an interior with room for 16 troopers and 4 officers. The ship is loaded with 8 bombs and there is a retracteble ion canon as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopMike Posted August 21, 2009 Nice one Lars ! I really like your design of the head with the cockpit! The whole thing gives a massive & real impression - now let´s see some more pictures of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 24 Posted August 21, 2009 Nice one . The cockpit maybe a little over sized compared to the ship but it still looks great. Looking forward to seeing more pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fenris Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Definately worth a load of supplementary pictures. Please! It's one of my future projects to enhance my ILC more, up to date i just made some minor changes... Yours really looks a lot better than the one from TLC. Great work! The original with only space for 4 troopers doesn't really satisfy... 10 at least. SO yours obviously has space enough for a little invasion. And the look is so "star wars". Congratulations! Have you made a side door? thats the second thing i'm really missing in the original... If you don't mind, i'll post my humble mods here too... Edited August 21, 2009 by fenris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lars Posted August 21, 2009 ..and a rear shot. Thanks for the comments so far. This pic features the side door as well as the engine part. I'll be back with interior and weaponary pics later. The imperial landing craft pics on my Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimus Posted August 21, 2009 This is really nice. It's textured so nice and it looks so detailed. I especially like the engines. Can't wait to see the interior pics. Nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted August 21, 2009 I definetaly dig it, looks more realistic than the original Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILikePi Posted August 21, 2009 Wow, that looks great! I love how all of the bumpiness of it makes it look like it's detailed with lots of greebles. It's much better than LEGO's version of the Imperial Landing Craft. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaitan Posted August 21, 2009 Love it! It actually looks 'Imperial' and threatening. Great work! Kaitan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumoffu Posted August 21, 2009 Very nice MOC Lars. More photos in due course will be great. Reminds me of the ship out of Dune for some reason. Nice MOC too fenris. Now we have a landing craft that can carry a meaningful squad of Stormtroopers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UsernameMDM Posted August 22, 2009 That's a pretty serious looking landing craft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RileyC Posted August 22, 2009 seriously impressive moc Lars! The detail is awesome on the landing craft and from the pictures it looks huge. One problem though, isnt there meant to be a middle wing as well? I dont know what kind of landing craft you are going of though. But other than that it looks incredible! Great work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted August 22, 2009 Very good MOC again Lars. Must have taken a while to build this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lars Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the comments and compliments guys. Much appreciated. ...from the pictures it looks huge. One problem though, isnt there meant to be a middle wing as well? ... There are three wings. All of them didn't "show up properly" in previous pics. I guess that's what you where confused by. And regarding the size: 50 studs long, 22 studs wide and 24 stud high (without the landing gear). Add 12 studs to the height and 14 studs to the width for when the wings are in the flying position.

KimT Posted August 23, 2009 Great work Lars! Looks a lot like the 'real deal'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torax Posted August 23, 2009 Looks good! Is it to scale, though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lars Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Looks good! Is it to scale, though? I would say no. According to this Wookieepedia entry the ship is 38 meters long and holds up to 54 stormtroopers. And I guess the "real" cockpit is more of a room that fits a small bunch of people. This MOC is more of a lego minifig adaptation that is at least better and more accurate than the official one, and also one that would actually be concidered to be useful as a troop transport. This ship wasn't easy to research since it is more of an expanded universe ship despite it being featured in the New Hope Special Edition. The pics I used for reference showed quite a lot of difference so this MOC is me picking the things I liked the best really. One answer would be that it's more to scale than the official minifig Star Destroyer and the likes. Keep the comments coming. There will be pics of the interior filled with stormies uploaded soon. Actually I don't know how many troopers I own. We'll see. I also have made arrangements so that one of the two compartments can hold two of my speeder bikes Edited August 23, 2009 by Lars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rufus Posted August 23, 2009 Nice work Lars, great attention to detail, love the cockpit. Any chance we could see the interior? Rufus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
