[LDD MOC] Space Police IV Interceptor

[Eggyslav]

GRRRREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS, Fellow Eurobrickers and Eurobrickettes! Guess what? It's time for another LDD built spacecraft designed by yours truly, Eggy. Inspired by a Certain Thread by @VaderFan2187, and  one of Yooha's Collectable Minifigs, I decided to bring another classical Lego Space subtheme back to life, starting with a spaceship. So without any further ado, I present you, SPACE POLICE IV "LABRYSS" CLASS INTERCEPTOR:

As you see, I tried to recreate the original Space Police Palette of black, blue, and trans-red canopies, but then, I replaced the classic blue with earth blue, to correspond with series 7 cmf, Galactic Enforcer, and added a splash of white here and there... Now, Just like my Blacktron Sharovipterix, this baby is modular:

The "Labryss" (name means double edged axe, and seeing it from top, you kinda see where that name comes from) Is a versatile cruiser, used for patrolling, reconaisance, and pursuit. The sleek cockpit is spaceous enough for two minifigs, and can be detached, to act as an emergency pod, or a light pursuit unit:

The "Labryss" is equipped with standard Issue Convict Containment Capsule, CCC, or 3C for short. A tiny, yet Cozy Cell, where convicted criminals are held in a state of biological stasis, here's a caught Blacktron Agent, put inside:

And here we have closed 3C module, note the touchpad, it not only allows to open and close the Capsule, but also is monitoring and displaying informations on the convict:

And, as a bonus, here's a little figbarf of basic Space Police IV units, I based their uniforms on the aformentioned Space Police CMF by mah Boi @Yooha:

Cool! I like your color scheme take on SP4. Using Earth Blue is sort of a merging of the Bright Blue and Black of SP1, while the inclusion of Trans. Green blasters evokes SP3 somewhat.

Thanks for linking @Yooha's CMF thread, that is one I totally missed! His Neo Space Police cop is brilliant!

Aww, glad to hear you took inspiration from my ships  I love your ship, especially the cool curves and the red cockpits. (Oh and of course the modular aspect )

I like your work here, especially with the figures! The abrupt transition from curved wing to flat underside bugs me a bit though.

Yep, using trans green was indeed borrowed from the latest iteration of the subtheme, although Earth Blue was rather a reference to this guy: 

 

But In conjecture with black and trans red canopies it was also, as you said, an updated SP1 palette. :)

Nah, don't be bugged about it, it's supposed to be that way, normal aeroplane wings are also flat on the bottom, besides, they are a perfect place to store extra Spring Loaded shooter ammo:

Thanks bro, If you want, you can also take inspiration from me when building your own SP4 ships. ;)

@Eggyslav I am glad you took inspiration from my CMF fig

Just a little something I was working on (other than my bachelor degree work )...
