[MOC] 4 Original Trilogy MINIs - Speeder Bike, Skiff, T-16, Escape Pod

[obijon]

Hello all

This time I present 4 little models from the Original Trilogy.  I will keep the descriptions of these short:

 

IMPERIAL SPEEDER BIKE

 This is a very intricate little build and I have managed to keep it really small.  The main body is built with a brick with studs on all sides attached to a 1x1 bracket.  The nose is attached using a t-bar and bar holders with a clip.  I think I got all the main details in for such a small model.  For some reason I think the pictures make this model look a lot bigger than it really is – or maybe it’s just me! Really like how this turned out.

 

 

DESERT SKIFF

Sticking with RoTJ here is a simple little model of the desert skiff from the opening part of the movie.  I could have made a simple little version only 2 studs wide but would not have got any detail doing that.  No real tricks on this model.

 

 

T-16 SKYHOPPER

Barely seen other than as a model (Luke’s toy) and in the special edition of ANH this little model has one neat little trick.  The fin is attached using a plate with handle attached to 1x1 clip tiles on the body.  I wanted to do something different other than make it with bricks as it would just have looked too wide.

 

 

ESCAPE POD

Very simple little model built using 4x4 round bricks and plates.  Again it could have been built smaller but wanted to do something a bit different.  The cone is hollow to allow the 4 engines to be added the right way up.

 

Let me know what you think.  More soon.

Thank you.  Of these the Speeder Bike is my personal favourite.  Quite surprised about the Skiff.....

Maybe its the desire for a new skiff playset!
