[MOC] Desert Skiff

[Terrasher]

Hi, this is just a small build I made this afternoon while waiting for a big parts order to arrive.

I have the 9496 skiff but I really wanted to make a tan version. I don't know how I feel about the latest iteration of the ship, though - it feels too bulky. So, I made a slimmer, smaller version that does the trick and has enough room for the essential minifigs. I hope y'all enjoyed it!

I like this!!..it would be great as a desk ornament, it is small ; but it has all the elements of a bigger build....really nice!!

Small, yet practical and accurate to the movie version. Well done.

Ooh, I like it, looks great, captures all essential details at a good scale!

Thank you all!

Yes, the skiff is small. I've been looking at its actual scale and it should actually be a little bit bigger. I would have experimented with a larger model if I had the big curved pieces at the front of the newest skiff - which I don't own in tan. I'll surely revisit the skiff once I save some money to place another B&P or Bricklink order, but that won't be for a while. I've got a much larger ship in the works right now. I'll put WIP pics in the lego subreddit as soon as I receive the order.
